What a way to bury Darby. This explains why randomly Darby gave up his grand slam match with Bryan to lose to Mox.
>>
>People on /pw/ constantly shit on other peoples booking
>They're now mad that Darby didn't win the world title with zero build up
>They're now angry because the main storyline on the show is now going to revolve around Darby and him eventually winning the world title
amateurs
>>
>>16091011
What are you talking about, retard? There was only "no build" for Darby because they decided to build the Moxley thing instead. Of course there would've been a build for Darby.
>>
>>16091015
1 month of build for a first time world title win is nothing.
>>
>>16090990
Tony went full retard, no surprise.

Well, this week's Dynamite got 633k so I guess that worked

Another Moxley reign is the least thing anyone wants at this point

>>16090990
Tina sure likes to rugpull Darby a lot for some reason. Darby might be a reckless shitter, but I actually am intrigued at the prospect of watching his matches. He's the only one in AEW where you look forward to seeing whatever crazy shit he decides to do. The textbook definition of a based retard.
>>
>>16091243
AEW isn't meant to be good. It's meant to kill any intrigue and momentum the wrestling business might have left.
>>
>>16090990
Moxley is a truly underrated politicker.
>>
>>16091190
Why would I post on SCJerk, which is just an AEW hateposting? I watch AEW and want it to be good, not some console warrior faggot
>>
>Moxley's fourth reign will draw this time!
>>
>>16091250
Darby is a team player so it's easy for Tiny to abuse him without reprecussions, although little did he realize that actually this pisses Darby fans off enough to get them to stop watching altogether.

Yeah let's spend multiple years to the point everyone is just waiting to get it over with because it's been telegraphed so hard

>Babyface beats babyface for title and ends his full time in ring career leaving everyone feeling conflicted
>Heel beats babyface and ends his full time in ring career putting the heat of that on him and allowing the other babyface to have an infinitely better moment by beating that heel
You retards know nothing about wrestling
>>
>>16091332
What is a passing of the torch? We just don't know.
>>
>>16091022
If you make people wait 6 months nobody will care. long term booking only works with good writing
>>
Obviously Big Babyface Darby is going to beat Monster Heel "nWo" Mox for the title to avenge Bryan. How stupid are you retards exactly?

>>16091250
>homegrown talent

>produces gif worthy material to pop twitter

>>16091332
okay bitch how about flair v michaels, the thing is that it allows the audience to feel something good about the retirement, a bittersweet emotional moment, instead of transparently using it to try and get heel heat
>>
>>16091332
They should have made it a 3-way dance and had Mox cheat to win. It was retarded that Darby just gave up his shot at the title.
>>
>>16091332
I havent seen one person mourning Bryan's career. Everyone was just shitting on the ending
>>
>>16091357
>What is a passing of the torch?
Dimeless. The answer you're looking for is that it's dimeless. There's no heat to a moment like that and leaves no story after when the other guy is gone
>>
>>16091386
>okay bitch how about flair v michaels
Was that the main event? Was that the biggest story in the company? Was that a world title match? Would that have been Shawn's first one if so? Not at all a 1:1 at all
>>
>>16091304
Yep. AEW is a cancer.
>>
>>16090990
Why doesn't Tony give lil nigga the ball to run with?
>>
>>16091015
One of the running stories in aew is Darby hasn't been able to beat moxley.
>>
>>16091466
What does a win over Bryan do for him other than booking a moment?
>>
>>16091466
He sucks as champion, his TNT title run was proof of that. Darby works best as an underdog.
>>
>>16090990
Neither of those things would make me watch. I seen the finish online and what I took from it was your top heels are all ex wwe guys I don't care about and your top faces (well the guys that ran in to help) are Darby, Private Party and Jeff Jarrett. What a pittance

Darby beating Moxley and the locker room comes out to celebrate and they're actually guys you wanna see might work but I don't think they have guys I wanna see
>>
>Moxley
>jump-start interest
lol, lmao
>>
>>16091406
who said it's a 1:1 comparison, mr. not at all at all - you'll only accept an example that is exactly the same? fucking autist. maybe wwe did it better without adding the whole kitchen sink, maybe a simpler story told right is more rewarding than
>alright it's a retirement match
>AND the main event
>AND a title match
>AND we're hastily switching the opponent to a bad guy
>AND we need this bad guy over
>AND so we'll have him try to commit murder with a plastic bag (this is very lame btw "oh you tried to murder me/him now it's time to, um, wrestle? *headlock*)
>AND excalibur is gonna cry
it reeks of overcooked bullshit, plus does mox really need the rub of a retiring bryan?
>>
>>16091650
holy shit you're mad
>>
>>16091332
I don’t think any aew fan actually sees Mox as a heel
>>
>>16091679
The first time he ever got properly booed was in that Danielson match. A high achievement that.

you're an obsessed idiot however

Is this Dave the scooper or Dave the guy that watches the show and makes assumptions?

Darby would have been stupid, too. You can't have a babyface retire a legend, and turning Darby heel would be retarded.

It should have been Christian. They laid all the groundwork and then didn't pull the trigger. It's so fucking simple: Bryan wins a hard-fought match with Darby (one that protects Darby even in defeat), and then Christian comes out and cashes in to squash an exhausted Bryan. Then you can have Darby chase Christian for the next six months or more to ultimately avenge Bryan and win the title. Sure it's cliché, but that's because it works. TK completely overthought this whole thing.

If it were two years ago, maybe. Kenny right now is an unknown: when will he be ready and what will he look like? He's sure to have some rust when he comes back, and Bryan really couldn't wait for Kenny, anyway.
>>

Moxley does the exact opposite of jump starting my interest lol

problem with Darby as a champ is the thing that he could do some retarded shit on a skateboard the day after winning it and get injuried for a few months

strikes me as too proud but they would at least do it right. hed be the new Sami zayn mixed with sting/punk/hardy

Yea. I mean when has an AEW champ or main event act going for the belt hurt themselves in some stupid way that took months to heal?

This. The Bucks book is called Killing the Business for a reason.

>>16093057
This. It could have worked if it was part of a kind of hostile takeover angle where he turned out to be working for Shane and The Elite, but if they were doing that, they should have revealed it by now. As it stands, the BCC has go-away heat with me at this point.
>>
>>16093120
>As it stands, the BCC has go-away heat with me at this point.
Same. They should've disbanded once Willy R left
>>
>>16093143
If not then, at least once Bryan was a consistent babyface. The repeated heel-face-heel-face whiplash did nothing good for Claudio or Yuta.
>>
>>16093178
was Bryan even acting as a heel during his BCC run? I barely remember anything besides him beating someone up more than he normally would
after disbanding when Regal left, they could've just made Claudio and Yuter a tag team and Moxley an upper midcard deathmatch act that he could have 1v1, instead of those clusterfucks
>>
>>16093208
>was Bryan even acting as a heel during his BCC run?
Mostly just during the feud with Kenny and the Bucks.

It's not Tony's fault that the booking sucks.

>>16093274
It's not Tony's fault that the roster sucks.
>>
>>16093326
It's certainly Tony's fault that the show sucks.
He's rebooking the entire card 10 minutes before they go live.
>>
>>16093326
>it's not Tony's fault the booking and roster sucks when he writes everything himself and is in charge of hiring everyone.
>>
>>16092969
Simple works in wrestling. In storytelling in general. Simple motivations. Christian taunting Danielson about his dead father is your hook. Have him call Brie a whore that fucked her now stepfather for a job. That's the shit that draws. Personal, real-life shit. I don't understand why wrestling holds back so much. Fuck the tranny fanbase.
>>
>>16092969
i love christian as much as tony does and even he knows 50 year old christian as a long term champ would be a bad idea. mox is the better choice right now. darby can beat him in a few months, THEN christian can come out and cash in on darby. from there either darby beats christian again in a couple months or another baby face gets a run.
>>
>>16091022
1 month of build is a lot for AEW. most of the matches are just thrown together with barely a week's notice

That's stupid. Christian has had way better heat than Mox for over a year now. Making him wait to cash in wastes whatever momentum the Patriarchy angle has left. If fat Jericho could hold the title for nearly a year, Christian can hold it for a couple of PPV cycles.

Mox had no place being shoehorned into this story. He absolutely carried the company in 2020 and again in 2022, but he's completely the wrong guy now.
>>
>>16094451
>whatever momentum the Patriarchy angle has left.
he has no momentum at all. he's hardly ever on TV and wrestles even less. the patriarchy has no angle, no feud, NOTHING going besides some goofy nobody jobber trying to mess with christian for some reason. edge needs to come back and make him relevant again, or something.
>>

AEW doesn't have weight classes. You can argue that they should, and I would agree, but TK doesn't believe in them.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha good thing Tony put the belt on a young, fresh talent like Mox instead of Darby Allin, huh? Hahahahaha
>>
>>16094493
>he has no momentum at all.
Not anymore. But he had some momentum coming out of All In. Tony has completely killed it by dicking around and repeatedly teasing a cash in only to not pull the trigger. WrestleDream was the last opportunity to salvage it.
>>
>>16091022
It's plenty if the guy you're building is already one of your company's big names, which Darby is and has been for years.
>>
>>16091396

>>16090990
>jump-start interest

What was so hard about this? Everyone knows Moxley & his not wwe group is going to eventually fight the elite
