FWIW, when Kim and I are effusive in our praise of AEW, it's because of stuff like this. Tony Khan, the owner, is a very good storyteller. -- nm - David Jul 4, 11:23 1
- at times he really is. -- nm - Remlik Jul 4, 11:33
The best thing about long-form storytelling is if you do it right, if you really mind your details, no one will know you didn’t plan it this way. -- nm - Qale Jul 4, 11:08 13
- This is Vince's worse sin. The idea that people don't pay attention to internal logic. - Will Hunting Jul 4, 11:12 12
  - You got your crappy WWE in my wholesome AEW story. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jul 4, 11:33
  - Vince doesn’t realize people have much longer memories than they did 20-30 years ago. - Tim Jul 4, 11:29
  - Wait, Cross and Bliss are a tag team again? They literally just broke up when Lexy went demonic. -- nm - David Jul 4, 11:24 2
    - Literally because they wanted to rebrand her with a Superhero Gimmick and now was the time because Kross is coming up. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 4, 11:36
    - yeah it's crazy. -- nm - Remlik Jul 4, 11:35
  - Karrion could have just gone by Karrion. That’s a kick-ass one name. -- nm - Qale Jul 4, 11:15 6
    - Right? I don't want him coming up to the main roster. Vince hasn't shown he won't fuck it up. - Will Hunting Jul 4, 11:17 5
      - I actually don’t know who he is. I do know Nikki Cross is too good for WWE. -- nm - Qale Jul 4, 12:41
      - I don't think you've been watching NXT. Kross is a real problem because he has the look but nothing else. - David Jul 4, 11:25 3
        
        He might not be having great matches, but he's at least got something unique there. They've changed it up in his preview matches. - Will Hunting Jul 4, 11:38
        
        And they killed all the potential challengers in that 5 way match to continue the mega push. - Tim Jul 4, 11:27 1
        
        Honestly, I feel like the entrance is just a run down copycat of Balor, Roode, and Nakamura. - David Jul 4, 11:35
He’s the most over guy in the company right now. When he wins the title from Omega it will be incredible. AEW knows how to make good guys. - Tim Jul 4, 10:51 1
- plus he needed to up his in ring skills. And he did so. -- nm - Remlik Jul 4, 10:52
100 percent. It has been an amazing journey following this long story over the past few years. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jul 4, 10:44 3
- (He’s also a terrific Twitter follow, even if you don’t like wrestling.) - Dark Callisto Jul 4, 11:04 2
  - Right. He's a bright and kind man with an impeccable sense of humor. -- nm - David Jul 4, 11:14 1
    - Someone posted all of his lower thirds. -- (link) - the wrong element Jul 4, 15:43
