I say this genuinely as an AEW fanGet. The. Fucking. Belt. Off. Ospreay.Man who wrestles good but can't step outside of his comfort zone, doesn't have the versatility of his peers, can only have shallow epics and whenever given the chance to be creative produces something like this that demonstrates just how unoriginal or uninnovative he is is not champion material.I don't like his shitty bloodline storytelling, I'm still excited by his in-ring but he doesn't have nearly the value or versatility of even Hangman let alone Kenny, Okada or Bryan. I'd rather he just quickly job to Fletcher so we can see how he fares because I'm over this guy.
Having him go over the entire title scene in one night was retarded.
>>21373850Not only this but it also exposed just how many better options there are to have as champion right now. Even the live crowd felt it
>>21373842So it was an amazing show as always
>>21373867Yeah, at least 5 of the other 7 guys were more interesting to meJoe, Takeshita, Cope, Darby, Okada, honestly even Ricochet I think would be interesting as a shitheel who has the belt off a fluke and is desperate to keep it, isn't that what WWE is doing with Sami? That's a good idea.The only one I see as a definitive step down from Ospreay is speedball
>>21373867The advantage of having a multiman match like this where anyone can become champion is that Ospreay can lose the title without taking a pin, but alas Tony uses EWR to book his national television product. Who is he supposed to feud with now that he's already beaten everyone two months into his reign?
>>21373883>is that Ospreay can lose the title without taking a pinThis is exactly what I thought the entire point was. They've got Copeland retiring soon while stating he wants the title and having the Tokyo Dome on his checklist. Toss the title to him, let him have a short reign through January and lose the belt back at Wrestle Kingdom. Easy enough. Doesn't hurt Ospreay at all. But then they just went and made it all for nothing and soured a portion of their audience on their top babyface in the process
>>21373953>But then they just went and made it all for nothing and soured a portion of their audience on their top babyface in the processYep, don't dangle an Edge title run in front of fans and be surprised when Ospreay gets booed for going over. Wouldn't have been as bad if they had Ricochet be the one threatening to steal the title in the final stretch. Ospreay cucking him would have been fun, but doing it with a guy more over than the world champ just exposes his lack of heat.
>>21373953>made it all for nothingit set up both Joe and Copeland up with an actual reason to challenge in the future, retard.
>>21373850it's like if Bob Holly came up to the booker pitching "HOW ABOUT I GET THE BELT THEN I BEAT EVERYONE" and the booker was retarded enough to fall for it
>>21373968Utter nonsense in kayfabe. In this promotion, guys just walk out after title matches end and stand in front of the champ in the ring and that gets them booked into one easy as pie that way.
>>21373850this makes it sound like you didn't watch and think he scored a fall on every single person in the match
>>21373982Except in kayfabe everyone in the match had to qualify, you double retard
>>21373993Tell me how Copeland gained a credible reason to challenge Ospreay in a world title shot, from a match wherein he got pinned clean twice by Ospreay. You downie fucking mark.
>>21373997>Tell me how Copeland gained a credible reason to challenge Ospreay in a world title shotBecause he almost won that match>he got pinned clean twice by OspreayAnd this didn't happen
