>>20249770Sting is thereHe’s taking it
>>20249770LETSFUCKINGGO
>>20249770LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>20249770WHOOP WHOOP
>>20249770About fucking time, Tony. Sure is great you waited until a random Dynamite instead of when Lil' Nigga came back from Everest.
This really cheapest his first title win..Him winning the title in a 30 min struggle would have been vastly better
Sting should have turned heel on him
>>20249994It should've been in Arlington, but this kinda fits too. Darby has always been a guy who has big matches and big moments on TV moreso than PPV.
I’m conflicted. Happy for Darby, but this should have been the end of a big feud on PPV, not a throwaway Dynamite in squash. Makes Hangman and Omega look weak as fuck too.
>>20250084>but this should have been the end of a big feud on PPVThis>not a throwaway Dynamite in squashThis>Makes Hangman and Omega look weak as fuck too.And holy fucking hell this
>MJF's reign lasted 109 days>109LMAO no fucking way bro what are the odds
>>20250084>everything should always happen according to the same patternholy fucking 2K-brained
>>20250113Girls love this meme!
>>20250073>has big matches on tvThat’s Tony’s fault since he books this shit
>>20249770We did it
Literally missed it because I went to the bathroom to take a piss. What a stupid fucking ending to something that should have been legit special.
>>20250133if it takes you that long to piss you may have some serious health problem you want to get looked at
BASED LIL NIGGA I FUCKING LOVE AEW
This is like building up Sting vs Hogan for Starcade 97 and then you fuck it up by having it be a Finger Poke of Doom match on Nitro.
>>20250127>>20250084TV is the primary money maker, ya gotta make TV matter, ya gotta do big stuff on TV sometimes.>Makes Hangman and Omega look weak as fuck too.I disagree, Hangman was in a totally different type of match and Omega was never able to cover MJF after hitting his finisher. Darby punished MJF's cheating to create an opening, then hit his finisher four times.
>>20250153Please stop pretending you ever even saw the things you're talking about because you obviously don't under them at all
>>20250153kek what are you talking about
This is the exactly how Sting should have beaten Hogan, btw
>>20250133You were pissing for 5 straight minutes
>>20250153This is nothing like any of those things you've never seen
>>20250169Yes. Bell rings, he hits like five Stinger Splashes, Death Drop, Death Lock, Hogan taps like a bitch. This kinda thing should happen more often, especially for babyface title changes. It makes the babyface look like they were properly prepared for the moment and took it seriously. Just beat the fuck out of the heel before he gets the chance to do all of his cheating and it teaches fans that they have to pay attention to the entire match.
>>20250153dumb bitchgoldberg squashing the fuck out of hogan is one of the greatest WCW moments
>>20250153you are retarded my guy
>>20250188it worked especially well tonight becuause MJF's cheating wound up fucking him, or at least his inability to predict darby would do the same in response
>>20250164I watched both live you retard. The fucked up ref finish in 97 was bad enough to send WCW towards decline. The finger poke of doom just sealed it as it completely undid anything NWO wolfpack. Darby winning should have been a long bloody match at a ppv. Real simple straightforward booking not something rushed on TV.
>>20250190Built on like a week's notice and they put fucking 40,000 people in the Georgia Dome for an episode of TV, for God's sake.
>>20250084The show sucked and the crowd was dull, so it hurt this moment. They should have cut Willow's bullshit match and given more time for the main event's entrances and some big pyro for this fuckin hero's big win
kek that based ending got the twitter trannies BUBBLIN
>>20250188Yeah but he didn't have a tan brother.......yknow the guy in the white corpse face paint who hangs out in the dark rafters all the time, he should be real tanned y'know dude
>>20250198you didn't watch WCW and you fantasy book like a retardstick to slobbering over youtube streamera
>>20250198>Darby winning should have been a long bloody match at a ppv. Real simple straightforward booking not something rushed on TV.That's what all of AEW's babyface title wins have been. Moxley, Hangman, Swerve, Bryan, Hangman again, they were all long, grueling builds that culminated in long, grueling matches. You have to throw a change-up SOMETIMES. Also, Darby's been trying to win this world title since the second episode of Dynamite. There's plenty of history here. They even did a video package about the side headlock takeover thing.
>>20250199And the WCW guys afterwards when they talked about it years later said they fucked it up cause they could have had 100,000 people at a ppv crowd for it and made WAY more money when WCW was losing money at the time.
>>20250188>It makes the babyface look like they were properly prepared for the moment and took it seriously.In Darby's case I think it would've worked better if he had a match or matches before this one that showed that he needs to be smart instead of reckless to win.
>>20250235>100,000 people at a ppv crowdkek, this might be the dumbest thing ive seen in the meltdowns going on tonight
>>20250236That's a good idea, but I can accept the implied growth here with Darby not being afraid to hit a low blow and utilize an opening over the the same exact smug guy who was doing the same exact shit to others constantly. If it builds up to a more vicious and outraged legit heel MJF (as opposed to the cool wink nudge schtick he always does) then it might be the perfect dynamic for the long bloody battle anons have been clamoring for here at the ppv.
>>20249770Lil NiggaBig Champion :)
>>20250261great insight anon
>>20250198WCW continued to rape the WWF well into 98 ya pindick
WE LOVE YOU GOAT
its time!!!
>>20249770>lngbased
good for himI actually turned the show off as when I put it on a Kenny Omega who looked like he's had AIDS for several years was cutting an awful promo with Ospreay. Then some nigger zoomers came out with neon gear like a shitty episode of mid 2000s TNA and I realized AEW might not be for me.I'd have watched this though but oh well.
>>20250113i had a theory that this title change was a direct protest at israel
>>20250246Ok so Goldberg saying it himself that it was stupid to have the match on tv instead of ppv.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXmJXS5DElM&t=4805s
>>202504481) I don't think this is entirely accurate, they had advertised Goldberg vs. Hogan as a non-title dark match, THEN Bischoff made the decision to put it on TV and make it a title match. 2) This is a WWE documentary, they're as heavily inclined to shit on WCW as they can. The WCW guys doing that PPV know what side their bread is buttered on. But, sure, if you wanna say they could've sold more tickets and a lot of pay per view buys if they'd just done it as a dark match as originally planned and saved the title match for PPV, sure. But that was a time when ratings mattered much less and Bischoff's obsession with them and particularly his obsession with short-term ratings was incredibly self-sabotaging. In today's landscape, TV is the most important thing. You're heavily incentivized to do stuff like this on TV to teach fans that they have to watch because important stuff can happen.
>hometown>cries in his opening promo>new t shirt>STING IS HEREThis has to be the most telegraphed win of all time, but im still surprised
>>20250480thisand regardless of what they did, they were not putting 100k in any arena, and regurgitating that whether it was a claim made or not is just retarded
>>20250489i legit went into it thinking he was going to mess it up and lose and they'd do a whole storyline about that instead
>>20250489The dead giveaway was Ciampa saying he wanted the winner of the match. They're never doing MJF/Ciampa, even as a TV match, it's heel/heel and just doesn't make any sense. I think you could suspend disbelief through all the other stuff until Sting shows up (and at that point, it's a couple minutes away, so it's fine), but once Ciampa cuts that promo, it's kinda over. Although I guess Knight also cut a similar promo, so maybe not. >>20250493Yeah I dunno if that's Goldberg kinda jerkin' himself off a bit or just trying to make the WCW brass look stupid, but the Georgia Dome doesn't even have that much capacity.
>>20250480Ok I can buy that but the way it went down was still stupid. They should have scrapped that Willow vs Camille match since that just buried Camille anyhow and allowed for more time within the 2 hour window to get the Darby vs MJF match done. I have no problem with Lil Nigga winning this match. I just hate how it went down since this was essentially built up his entire time since AEW started. It cheapens it. Doesn't feel fulfilling at all.
>>20250532I don't think it was a situation where they ran out of time, I think it's because they're running this match back at Double or Nothing and they don't want the main event to be a match they just gave away for free. So you get the big moment on TV, but they still saved something for PPV, is the idea. I understand what you're saying. I can definitely understand preferring if they had a 15 minute TV match and then building off that match for the PPV. I like this, because I like when unpredictable stuff happens on TV and I think this kind of quick, chaotic victory fits Darby's character and almost all of his match are just him getting seven shades of shit beaten out of him, so him flipping the script and just destroying MJF is kinda subversive, but I can't say that a real match with real length to it probably wouldn't have felt better.
>>20250084>Makes Hangman and Omega look weak as fuck too.They’ve been making Kenny look weak for a very very VERY long time now anon
>>20250634no they haven't
>>20249770Hope he gets to keep it for a bit. Looks like he'll have tv defenses against Ciampa and Kevin Knight
>>20250634offtopic but i gotta ask: anybody else here genuinely felt like the kenny match sucked ass? it felt very inconsequential
>>20250689Tony couldn’t make Kenny a draw. Absolutely wasted his career.
>>20250707sure he did, you being mad about that doesn't make it untrue
>>20249770HELL FUCKING YES
>>20250634Few things in wrestling have pissed me off the way Kenny's 2019 did. You don't take someone who has buzz and garners attention from everyone in the industry, when you're launching the first major arena/network TV rival to WWE in 18 years, and book a story that literally is "Yeah this hot new alternative promotion headed by the most raved about guy outside of WWE? Oops he's actually burned out and washed up and not what he was". You're shouting to the world that your top pickup is past his prime, jobbing him to an ex WWE lowercarder in Pac, and catering exclusively to "will always watch regardless" hardcore consumers of ALL content.
>>20249770In case you missed it, Darbys ex-wife Gigi Dolin's current boyfriend/husband Zachary Wentzwas in the ring celebrating with Darby at the end.
>>20250084I think its fine for things like this to happen once in a while.One of the few criticisms of AEW I agree with is that it feels like nothing happens on the weekly tv. Title changes like this need to happen to not make as obvious when someone is gonna retain.
>>20250084I do not care for Hangman and Omega
>>20250213that's the cop out excuse, sting showed up shitfaced and high on acid
>>20249770>lngSorry, we're happy for Mr. Allin, but lng is an acronym for liquidified natural gas and both its supply and demand destructions are currently a very serious issue worldwide. So, out of respect, you'll have to change the name of your thread. Thanks for your attention to this matter
Never liked Darby Anus. Dude is smaller than Jack Perry. Darby cried like a woman tonight. He's not ready for this
>>20249770Easy come easy go, Darby ain't going to be champ for much longer and his win forgotten about pretty much instantly.
MJF put over Darby Allin?
>>20250853I don't understand why Omega took the easy way when he was in a company that was the red hot alternative at least Mox tried but Omega an the Young Bucks were in cruise control the whole time. I don't blame Cody for leaving that bullshit behind even though he has to deal with Paul's and TKO's celebrity bullshit every Wrestlemania.
>>20250145>>20250170I got distracted playing angry birds on my phone as it was more interesting than the show
>>20251162Think about this who was hyping his match against MJF this week?For fucks sake I thought Adam Page was still the champion.
Who does Darby defend against now?>MJFDoubt it>SwerveLost in the toy box>OspreayCurrently stuck in Death Rider's vortex>MoxleyPlease god no>JerichoSee aboveWho else even is there? Bandido? Brody King? Andrade? Or is Tony going to pull a retarded move and push up a shitter like Ricochet or Ciampa into the world title picture? Shit is looking grim
>>20251245there will 100% be a rematch at the ppv. after that? i don't know. maybe andrade since they had something going during their last match. i think forbidden door comes after so that's set. personally i'm hoping for lashley to finally get a proper main event shot.
>>20250084Tony wants to be WCW so badly
>>20251364If you think Lashley will agree to job to the twink, you are out of your fucking mind
>>20249770The only explanation here is that this was a satirical jab at Wrestlemania 40
This shit was so ass lmao.
>>20250084Building MJF up as someone who could legitimately face Kenny Omega, only to have him drop the title in a fucking squash match, is the company committing sudoku levels of garbage.Absolute fucking shit. Happy for Darby, he deserves it, but come the fuck on man. On a random who cares ass Dynamite too? Fuck off. This shit SUCKED. (Congrats to Darby though, well deserved. No hate for the result, just the booking.)
They should have made it the opener of Dynamite and had it go the full run, cancelling the other planned matches.This angle totally sucked.
>>20251245Buddy
>>20250113okay, maybe tony khan is not so bad
>>20251231you pee sitting down?
>>20251640you have to at my weight
>>20250190Except Hogan v Goldberg wasn't a straight-to-finisher squash.
>>20250153This got them bubblin’
>>20251224Didn't wanna immediately book themselves to win. You would've complained they were pulling a Jeff Jarrett, let's face it.
>>20250634>>20250689in this last dynamite they ran an omega segment setting a "when your goat is washed" angleit couldn't be more obvious
>>20251528Yeah it'd have to be Shelton as he's the one who will job to midgets, but that'd be a much better match so I wouldn't mind
>>20251245>>20251364Ciampa and Knight already cut promos, so Darby is going to do a lot of TV defenses against them and others, then he's going to lose it back to MJF at Double or Nothing and they're probably gonna do MJF vs. Ospreay for Wembley.
>>20249770I'm sorry but WTF is this shit?! This is so weird and random and literally everyone involved looks bad because of it. MJF lost in a weak as fuck way, it makes everyone he's beat so far look weak as fuck (omega, hangma'am) and it does nothing for Darby because this wasn't some feud anyone was invested in. Complete waste of just about everything.
>>20252011>MJF lost in a weak as fuck wayno, he didnt>it makes everyone he's beat so far look weak as fuckno, it doesn't>and it does nothing for Darbystrike three youre out
>>20252025Hi Darby!
>>20250113
>>20251245>MJF>Doubt itHow? He’s the immediate most likely challenger and the next match now has all the reason in the world to have a gimmick.Personally I want the next challenger to be Lashley.
>>20249770>>20249770So basically Tony KWAB was watching old WCW and decided to copy-paste the Lex Luger title win over Hollywood Hogan from 97 onto Darby and MJF?
>>20252011You just don’t get wrestling.Every world title change doesn’t need to happen at a big 4.Also this makes weekly Dynamites themselves seem bigger and noteworthy having monents like this.This was a brilliant way to get the belt on lil nigga.
>>20252090Better than watching and copypasting WCW 2000 like WWE is now
>>20252107all of these niglets have grown up only knowing career-mode booking. lame
>>2024977010/10 lookI fucking love this lil nigga.
>>20249770AEW has a cool world champion
>>20251588Nah this cheating big mouth jew should be squashed. He has zero believability as a fighter
>>20252404>10/10 lookHe looks like the I Like Turtles kid.
>>20250113i dont get it
I don't understand the hate for thisMJF needs to shoot a filmGive Darby one month with the belt and lose it at DoN. Thn just have him going back to being Darby and trying for the TNT title. I always imagined RVD should have had the same thing in the late 90s. Just one few week run just to say yeah I did it and go back to being what makes them, them. Also the belt looks fucking sick on Darby it's actually crazy.
>>20249770
>>20254332It's one guy astroturfing multiple threads trying to convince people this was bad.
>>20255003Only one guy on earth hates hot shotting comedy matches.
FUCK YEAH
>>20249770goat
>>20254332Nobody hates this except for like one guy. I've waited since I dunno fucking Fyter Fest for lil nigga to get the world championship belt. It's about fucking time. I don't think it'll be a long run at all but I wouldn't mind it if it was.
>>20254332>Love Darby, but it shouldn't have been a heatless squash>WHY DO YOU HATE DARBY? WHAT DID HE DO TO YOU?>I said I love Da-->NO, NO. YOU HATE THIS AND YOU HATE HIM.
