Tony's done it. He's gone and pissed away the last meaningful person he could make champion. Hot shotted the belt on him and the ratings are in the mud and no one cares about any of it. They just did a show with less than 1000 people in attendance. Tony Khan literally has no idea what to do with Darby Allin after making him champion, what a genuine retard.

It's an AEW title. It was never meaningful

To be fair nobody cared about aew before that

You mean having a 4'10 goth kid wrestle at a golf park in front of 400 people didn't turn the needle?

Correct. That's what hotshotted means

The ratings are always in the mud. I don’t understand this shit. “Heheh this person killed the ratings!” No everyone did. The company sucks.
>>
>>20454443
He said he was going after the world title, then he won matches until he got a #1 contenders match, then he won that match and then he won his title shot. This whole thing was a story on TV every week for like two months.
>>
>>20453462
Too bad. I don't watch aew and never will, but wwe really needs a strong competitor in order to raise their own level. Which right now is pretty low level.
>>
Didnt they just have their like highest attended show in years last week?
>>
>>20453462
Ace Austin is on his roster, sadly. He has an instant megaface champion for as long as he wants if he gets a clue.
Here's hoping he lets ace slip through his fingers and Austin heads back to TNA.
>>
darby allin isn't the kind of guy who should be a dominant champion defeating all comers, he's too small
awful booking
>>
>>20454479
Highest attended US TV episode in years, to be specific. Like 5500, I think. No idea why it did so well, maybe they just have a lot of goodwill in South Carolina because of the Sting retirement.
>>
>>20454443
that happens in wwe too
>>
>>20454471
No one expected Darby Allin to win his first world title on a random Dynamite, it was a surprise but not a good one because no one saw it happen live, and that's the point.
>>
>>20454537
>b-but wwe
shutup jeet
>>
>>20454478
There has literally never been a strong non-WWE wrestling company in the world and if you expected a tranny fed to be the first you're retarded
>>
>>20454595
wcw you retard
>>
>>20453462
yeah ok go back to your gingerbread man funerals dude
>>
Darby isn't a complete shitter, but he's not worthy of main event status in a mainstream promotion. There are ways that a smaller wrestler, whose size naturally casts him as the underdog in most matches, can work while also coming across as a credible world champion contender. Danielson did this better than anyone, but Darby doesn't seem to understand that he needs to adjust his style. The entire roster looks weak when he's the guy holding the top prize.
>>
Darby is the kind of guy who should lose the world title a week after winning it.
>>
>>20453462
It's like a TV title reign lol
>>
>>20454551
>No one expected Darby to do something completely in-character
>>
>>20453462
Darby sucks.
>>
>>20457267
You can't argue with people who have no standards.
>>
oh hey this thread again
>>
I'm not going to be that dramatic about it, but seems like the same thing that happened when he won the TNT title. He had a great debut, dramatic feud with Cody, wasn't overexposed, had a big spot now and then, and immediately started getting random matches spammed seemingly weekly that were completely based around doing spotz for the sake of spotz over and over to the point I stopped caring.
>>
>>20458022
ya seethe?
>>
i'll say it again, darby ends up with weird shit scheduled because he wants to backflip on the moon or whatever, and with the way he wrestles he'll be effectively retired before 40, so strike while the iron is still hot and not crippled or not busy cartwheeling over crocodiles or whatever, i lost my metaphor but you get the picture
>>

>"Don't blame Darby."

>>
>>20453462
kinda funny that AEWfags fantasy booked this little geek as world champ for 7 years and when they finally strap him up aewtists start crying about how much Darby Anus sucks
>>
>>20454656
They have deliberately shown lil nigga having nasty skateboarding slams, driving cars into trailer homes, climbing Everest, and clips of his gnarliest bumps across AEW programming, social media, and YouTube to show you how tough he is. Yes, he’s small, but that nigga can take more of a beating than anyone else. Theres bigger guys like wardlow who kwab themselves just walking into a ring.
>>
>>20459496
Deathmatch highspots and non-wrestling stunts aren't gonna convince normal people that this tiny facepainter can last more than 90 seconds in a real fight with Bobby Lashley. I understand that the typical cagematch reviewer wants to deny this reality, but it is what it is.
>>
>>20453720
To be fair he have to wait til darby was done either being injured or climbing mountains so good on him for sticking around a little bit to wrestle!
>>
>>20459496
Yea but Ive seen him fall off of...everything now. It doesnt make me wanna watch the show if I know hes just doing it for fun. At least Foley acted like he was in a fight. Darby practically winks at the fuckin camera before doing his triple nosedive backflip into shark infested aids tubes.

Its not fun to watch if I know the faggot gets off on it
>>
>>20460006
Good point,where is the Bobby lashley title match? Khan just comes off as protecting his little darling if we dont see that match soon. Also Lashley vs Darby would be sick picture it like Spike vs. Mike Awesome.
>>
>>20454656
always love when a random autist projects his headcanon onto the entire audience like this. They want nothing more than to be and sound like Dave Meltzer.
>>
>AEW finally builds a non-WWE guy into a star that people kinda care about, getting the rub from Sting with a modernised Jeff Hardy kinda gimmick
>wait fucking YEARS for Darby to do all the bullshit he wants
>AEW gets ICE COLD waiting for his return
>hangman tranny page confirms yet again he's one of the biggest anti-draws in wrestling
>Darby finally returns,
>tony hotshots the title on Darby with zero build apart from some dirtsheet leak spoilers that were kept intentionally vague
Darby was the last chance AEW had to generate some interest.
>>
>>20460146
>with zero build
anon already demolished this lie here >>20454471
>>
>>20460143
Always love when a random anon has an emotional reaction to someone being critical of one of his dearest manlet wrestlers. Small guys with weak offenses don't usually make credible world champions, tard. If you think that's headcanon, then you don't know what "headcanon" means.
>>
>>20460163
There was no feud, therefore there's no build.
>>
>>20453462
>Hot shotted the belt on him and the ratings are in the mud and no one cares about any of it.
But enough about Roman
>>
>>20460200
oh, excuse me! please point to what page in the booking handbook this is
>>
>>20454471
Imagine the gall bladder it takes to fucking tune in and watch dynamite every week
>>
>>20460200
this is also wrong btw, Darby and MJF have been rivals since AEW started which they pointed out repeatedly leading up to the match. That was the entire story behind the finish. Stick to giving onlyfans ho's unsolicited business advice, champ
>>
>>20460200
A "build" To a world Championship is supposed to be in your face and ensuring all the fans are paying attention. Anon isn't wrong. Tonys autism might make him believe he was "building" But non autistic folk just didn't notice enough to care and felt like he won out of nowhere/hotshotted. Ergo Tony is a much, much bigger retard than triple h who at least has billionaire parasite jews breathing down his neck. Tony has all the freedom in the world and still fucks up. Inexcusable.
>>
>>20460229
>haha there was a build but you didn't pay attention to it!

Retarded and not a flex.
>>
>>20460242
>a build is always supposed to be exactly this way only because I arbitrarily think so and other people are autistic not me
good one
>>
>>20460202
>"but WWE!..."
god please let this faggot get some new cope
>>
>>20460229
Being rivals in the top card doesn't make it a feud, and doesn't make the no-feud TV title change not a hotshot
If Punk randomly beat Cody for the title on the next Raw it wouldn't make it a feud, and it would be a hotshot. Their conversation after Mania wouldn't suddenly make it a feud or mean it had build.
>>
>>20460248
you obviously didn't pay attention though, it's a weird trait that all redditors seem to have
>>
>>20460258
>being rivals doesn't make it a feud
reminder that edrones don't believe in anything and will say anything no matter how upsidedown it is because they are in a cult
>>
>>20460272
Every wrestler is a rival to another wrestler, unless they're in a tag-team or faction. That's the entire point of wrestling. That doesn't make it a feud if there's a hotshot title switch. This is Booking 101. It's the reason Heel vs Face is the cornerstone of wrestling booking. Because no-one gives a shit without the feud.
>>
>>20460308
>doesn't know the difference between rival and opponent
edrones everybody
>>
>>20460308
>unless they're in a tag-team or faction.
God I miss the attitude era so bad it's not even funny. Sure the wrestling was shit but the concept was top tier. It's all up on YouTube too but just not the same.
>>
>>20460329
Yeah you had to live it to truly know.
That's why Americans here fucking despise the bald british fat faggots who make videos about /pw/. They watched WCW Nitro on the WWE Network and didn't question a fucking thing. And then in their videos, they talk as if they were there.

It's no wonder the genre is dying and everyone is getting out of the game.
>>
AEW wrestlers hope the tv show gets cancelled because it means even less work for the same guaranteed contract.
>>
>>20453462
Who cares!
AEW IS DEAD...
bury it
>>
>>20460146
Sting fumbled
>>
Why would Sting, a former bodybuilder, let them push this dude? I always knew he was a retard
>>
>>20461585
He's also a drug addict and adulterer
>>
>>20453462
poo hands typed all of this
>>
>>20461619
Agreed. Sting is a horrible person who was angry Ultimate Warrior big leagued him.
>>
>>20453666
>To be fair nobody cared about aew before that
To be fair, you're here talking about it.
To be fair, half the threads today are about AEW.

I mean, you don't see that kind of attention for TNA, MLW, JCW, etc.
>>
>>20453462
Saw this little dude try to do a sharpshooter tonight. He almost got it.

Tony's shit booking strikes again

It's no wonder why so many of his wrestlers just tell him

>>20453462
AEW is already cancelled. So why is TK still hotshotting?
>>
>>20465648
Because it's not cancelled yet
>>
>>20453462
Fairway to hell was fucking kino. Don't give a shit about attendance when they sold it out and adding anymore seats to the ground area would ruin the look.
>>
