If they do Sami vs. Roman at Elimination Chamber, could you imagine the pop if Sami wins? Montreal would go BANANA like they never have before!
-
Triple H: I know you fans were upset about not having Sami or the Rock in the Rumble, but I'll make it up to you in the women's Rumble.
WWE Universe: Oh?
Triple H: Like a surprise return...
WWE Universe: Oh REALLY?
Triple H: Someone who left the company after a dispute with management...
WWE Universe: Ooh...!
Triple H: Someone who's close with the Bloodline...
WWE Universe: Oh-hoo...!Triple H: Her name starts with an "N"...
WWE Universe: *squeeee...!*
Triple H: NIA JAX!
WWE Universe: ... You jerk. -

Cody wins the Rumble!..... Are we going to discuss the elephant in the room that Rey Mysterio never officially entered the match nor was eliminated though? 😂
He's the Maven of the 2020s.

Sami Zayn has become, without question, the most over babyface in the company right now. It would be foolish not to go with Roman vs Sami for the title. Anything less would be a huge let down.
-
Zayn and Owens would have been fine 6 months ago, maybe even 3 months ago. But now? The story deserves nothing less than Sami versus Roman as the climax.
-
Even if they didn't want to cut any of the DX segment, they could have cut any of the dozen or so unfunny Baron Corbin segments (stop trying to make Baron Corbin a thing, he'll never be a thing!).

it was those segments that they tuned in for.
Really? Because Becky versus Bayley was one of the highly advertised matches. And as the WWE themselves have told us, not delivering an advertised match is the worst, most unprofessional thing you can do!
-
Because heaven forbid they shave time off of the DX segment which, to me, went on way longer than it should have.
-
The show had a fantastic start. Everything with the Bloodline was gold. It all went downhill from there.
They set up a cage for that? Seriously? Advertising a match and then not delivering as advertised... How unprofessional.
The other women's match wasn't much better. They're having Sonya feud with Charlotte, so she needs to be established as a credible threat. So, they have her LOSE to Bianca Belair. *face palm*
The DX stuff went on a little too long, but it had it's moments. A lot to go through to set up a 6-man tag that wasn't terribly interesting in the first place.

Ever have a wrestler who shouldn't have gotten over get really, REALLY over? Someone who you didn't even set out to book strongly and wound up being one of your big draws?
Here's my story- playing QAW. Lost a bunch of talent to CWA, particularly on the babyface side of things. So, I hire Olivia Diamond. She's... well she tries hard. Her stats are fine, but not something you'd look at say, "Yes, this person is going to be my next star." I just need a warm body to fill out the tecnico side and eat some pins.
Well, she winds up having great chemistry with Marianna Torres, which is actually a two birds, one stone scenario, as Pinky Perez got poached by the aforementioned CWA and I didn't have any plans for Torres yet.
Well, anyway, the auto-booker keeps putting the impromptu tandem in trios matches with my big stars, so Olivia got over by association, while also improving her somewhat mediocre skills.
Then, Torres gets poached by CWA. At the same time, I need some big stars for my main event to determine who will win the vacated World title following the retirement of Danielle Sweetheart (who, 6 months later, would go on to win Manager Of The Year, which, impressive). So, set up a 5-Way match, and throw Diamond in there, because hey, she's popular, but she'll be a perfect person to eat the loss and make a star. I don't set a winner in the road agent notes.She becomes World Champ. Now, admittedly, she doesn't hold onto it very long, dropping it to Ashley Keith (of @willr0ck's Women's Revolution mod), but she's still one of my Major Stars and a strong candidate to put into the next Queen Of The Ring tournament.

Do you mean in 2020 or in a historical or alternate C-Verse mod?
-
The opening segment with the Bloodline was terrific. Then, we got that cage match... *SIGH*
-
I would be happy if the Brawling Brutes were never seen again (so, sent back to NXT *ba-dum-tssh*), especially Ridge. He broke Big E's neck.
-
Meh. Everything aside from the opener was heel team versus heel team. Hard to get excited for that.
But I will forgive A LOT for Firefly Funhouse coming back. That made me so very, very happy.

People can knock Danhausen all they want, but the guy was the #1 merch mover for AEW in 2022, and he doesn't wrestle that often and only takes a handful of bumps. Good deal if you can get it.

Maybe he's being a bad promo on purpose so they'll finally release him...?

You did not just compare Abadon to Jade Cargill. Come on, man, be better.
Yeah, I'm sorry. Abadon is actually interesting.

Also, I want someone to make a supercut of Taz just chuckling and giggling at random nonsense in AEW
"Wait, I thought Danhausen was an usher?!?"
"He contains multitudes, Taz."-

You need to create a new database for this mod, then import everything from it into the Default database.
My import order (hopefully I didn't forget anything):
Workers
Worker relationships
Tag Teams
Moves
Move Sets
Graduates
Alter EgosIf you're just doing the workers, yeah. But if you're doing the companies, you'll need to do those and the associated titles as well.

I'd argue that Abadon is held back by the gimmick. It's a spooky/dominant gimmick and only works if Abadon is winning the majority of their matches, but they aren't at an in-ring level yet to be a weekly focus point on TV. The hardcore showcase match last year against BBDMD was fun, but a good indication of where Abadon was at from a developing standpoint. They can't appear frequently like Skye Blue or Leila Grey in losing efforts without diluting and diminishing the character they've created.
A character that needs to win but the wrestler isn't where they need to be at an in-ring level yet? So, Jade Cargill?
-
A super hot main event ends in a DQ? Yup, Vince is back alright.

Technically the KBB video game but yeah it happened.
I was thinking of the PPV where he lost so he reset time so that the next PPV was the exact same card.

And considering there is at least one canon time traveler in EMLL, the history can change whenever you want, even in the middle of an event! Pretty sure Dr. Kube did something like that at least once in Kaiju Big Battel.

That’s the booking though. Tony Khan does not know how to book an interesting women’s storyline. There’s rarely ever real cutting personal issues between the women. He doesn’t know how to portray them in a way to get over.
Not entirely the booking. Abadon is never on TV, let alone booked consistently, and they're very over with the audience when they do show up, and the character is something someone can see and say "Oh, I know exactly what this person is all about." Same thing with Orange Cassidy. I had never seen him before Double Or Nothing 2019, but once he hit the ring, I instantly got it.
Meanwhile, Adam Cole refuses to fully commit to the pirate gimmick!
-
Well, it's not just the booking. Toni Storm just isn't terribly interesting. She's been with AEW since May, and she's little more than "babyface" character wise. Say what you will about Britt Baker, but she has worked very hard at developing her character, and Jamie Hayter has worked very hard at stalling the inevitable face turn and feud with Britt so she doesn't have to come up with a character.

Sami Zayn fighting the Usos for the tag titles as the denouement of this 6+ month long slow burned story would be as unsatisfying as when the Festival of Friendship set up a match at 'Mania between Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho... for the U.S. Title, because Vince thought Brock/ Goldberg needed the Universal title.
