I'm torn on giving Hanger an extended heel run by giving into temptation / revenge and joining the Elite, or continuing his role (alongside Mox, kinda) as the moral core of AEW and refusing.

ESPN cuts to the Jaguars war room and its just these 3 on the phones across the table from Shad
I would not be surprised if Mina is one who will make the jump into the US relatively soon. she is 36 already (HOW?) so it might be a good time to try to cash in.
This man appeared on tv for 5 seconds and already showed way more charisma/screen presence than Tony ever has
This isn't going to happen because Tam is going to bury her with a promo and scathing story about how Mina is leaving without ever beating her or even coming close.
Also, Bushiroad asked their talents who was going to be leaving soon and Mina didn't seem to have said anything, otherwise we'd know by now.
I need to know what Archer said to Osprey as he entered the ring. It looked like Osprey was laughing as he buried his face in Archer's chest.

I actually really like the idea of Hangman being conflicted and hesitant at first, but the EVPs tempt him with revenge on Swerve.
If Hangman is ready to go next week, you can have him run in to save Kenny and then do the angle there.
Sorry, no more joiners. The Executive Elite is now complete. Just like Omega was upgraded to Okada, Hangman got superceded by the Scapegoat.
Hmmmmmm... I guess there's still Cody's old spot.
And Nakazawa's, if anyone is interested...
I have a theory that this is heading to a sort of Neo-Elite v. EVP elite. The Bucks snagged Jack Perry as their Hangman, and Okada as their Omega. Kenny and Hanger need their new young bucks now.
Hope not. He's not as good as Bischoff in front of the camera and I was never super enthused by Bischoff.
Audio issues aside, that was a really fun show last night.
- Swerve's Era 😌
- That casino gauntlet was surprisingly great.
- Toni and Mariah are soooooooo good.
- TK taking a bump for the sake of the business.
- The TK driver, it all makes sense now.
- Shad Khan knows how to sell.

There is no heterosexual explanation for 'Timeless' Toni Storm.
I dont think TK needs to be a character on TV for this to work. The EVPs should take over the company and run booking in their favor. Then just have a bunch of heels join and they get title shot after title shot. Like don't go full NWO with rigged matches and whatnot but just have the EVPs book their friends the best leading to more and more heels joining their side. The EVPs did this because TK was a nice guy but he wasn't a boss and he let the locker room get out of control. Like, I assume right now Adam Cole and the jobber squad will side with the Elite and start getting title matches.
Then you pick a coalition of avengers to save AEW from the Elite. Swerve, Ospreay, Hanger, the BCC, a returning MJF, Rosa, Hayter, Britt Baker. Like just a team of unlikely allies that put their differences aside for the company.
You can do the NWO angle without all the stupidity that went along with it.

Agreed, they just needed to do this. He doesn't need to appear on TV again for this storyline.
I believe this is all leading to a Blood and Guts match between the new Elite vs whoever is going to be on Team AEW.
It's almost that time of year for that event and I can't really think of another boiling feud that's gonna be a faction vs another faction than that one.

he will get the spotlight to kick off the show with a far bigger audience lead-in than what Dynamite got
I dunno why didn't let Swerve open the show with a promo or something. it felt weird to just be thrown into a match with no fanfare after such a historic title change. That was my only real issue with the show last night aside from audio.
Nvm all is forgiven
Yeah, I don't really think Tony Kahn is going to be a 'character'. I think this was largely just an angle and probably playing a bit to people wanting TK to get his.
I've thought more on it.
Should be revealed that Shad okayed the EVP's to do this to straighten out his son.
Yes to more Mina. I hope TK can get AZM back soon. Anna needs some backup.

Just seen this. Very smart. NBA straight into Swerve title celebration. LFG.
You're right on the money here. It really doesn't need to be more complicated than this. You maybe even show money changing hands in exchange for being booked for TV time. Easy peasy.
Damn you'd think all the dumdums would love seeing TK getting beaten up but I guess not lol. My only gripe about last night so far is that Marvez's "That's a Scoop" hasn't already become a meme.
Is it now safe to say that releasing the footage was the right call? It led to Jack's return and feeling like a bigger deal than he ever has, the show got a bump in ratings the week they released it and even the Punk chants have been shut down whenever some fans try to get them started.
Carny af? Sure. But the trick is weaponizing the carn to your favor and I think they've def done that.

Yep. It was never about hurting punk. It was about helping perry
Not enough praise for The Pants in here.
Takeshita drip too powerful
I haven't watched any wrestling in about 6 months. It's probably the longest stretch of time I haven't seen wrestling in 20 plus years. So much has been going on in my life with work and relationships and I've been so mentally tired. A couple weeks ago I quit my job and ended a toxic relationship. And last night I finally felt like sitting down and watching dynamite. And I'm glad I did. Actually felt excited and happy and when the show ended I was in such a good mood. I laughed and had a good time with my brother. Jericho's promo was great. Watching The Young bucks TK tony was hilarious. I needed that.
They're definitely making an attempt to get Anna Jay up into the women's top card. Which makes sense - she is extremely attractive by conventional beauty standards, so if you can get her character in-ring up to the right level, she'll be a draw for AEW.
She's been putting in the work, too. Her ability now is way higher than even a year ago. I wouldn't be surprised if she's holding the TBS title in another year.

When Marvez asked for "Okada-san" I was hoping he was going to bust out some nihongo jouzu, but maybe they're saving that. It was also great to see Okada be the one to signal to the Bucks for the TK Driver. Just an excellent show with so much good stuff happening! Please continue putting out more women's segments like that. I don't know if Kenny coming back is a write-off for the surgery or maybe to be in TK's role, but it'll be nice seeing him onscreen again. And as one of those sickos that enjoys the NFL draft, I'll be looking for TK during the broadcasts.
