The winners of the Chamber matches made sense, but I am guessing a heel (Drew) shouldn’t get to “finish his story” unless Punk will just come and take it from him when he gets back.
Remember, Priest still has the briefcase, so he could always try to reenact the "Heist Of The Century".

Was that a big announcement by Tony? That Will Ospreay will finally wrestle next week?
Now, it was an offhand mention by Callis. Still, it sticks in my craw that for that one PPV, they were all, "See who are big signing is!" and then it's "It's the guy you've already seen on AEW TV multiple times! Also, you're not going to see him again for, like, 6 months!"

Next week, Will Ospreay finally shows up for work! Nearly 5 months after they made a big deal about it!

Do the 77 or 97 mods have more members? Has anyone created a fictional family in game?
The [URL=https://forum.greydogsoftware.com/topic/48936-hype-cverse-womens-revolution/#comment-48936]]Women's Revolution mod[/URL] and it's various expansions from @willr0ck introduce a number of family members, mostly women. Most notably, there's a stable called the Flash 5, a group of men and women wrestlers, all the illegitimate children of Steve Flash. Basically, the Dudley Boyz, except not kayfabe; they originally got in touch with each other as a sort of support group and then decided to get into wrestling.

They need to put some heat on these CMLL guys. They’re super cool and all but this has felt too one sided for a rivalry so far.
Indeed. They've beaten Matt Sydal and whatever they're calling Menard & Parker now, but who HASN'T beaten those guys? I will say, however, that they have been booked relatively strongly in defeat, with last week's Collision being the first full decisive finish. The other 2 against BCC were a surprise roll-up and a low blow.
Speaking of "needs a win", Queen Aminata. There are only so many matches where you can say "she lost, but good effort" before she's full on jobber status. Even Red Velvet gets a win on TV from time to time.

Here's how I would book things for the tag titles. Sting and Darby beat the Young Bucks with Darby getting the pin on one while Sting has the Scorpion Deathlock on the other to prevent him from breaking up the pin. Sting gets to retire as an undefeated tag team champion.
The next Dynamite, The Bucks demand that Darby forfeit the titles and hand them over because he doesn't have a partner anymore. Darby must find a partner before the end of the show. But who...?

... I'm betting that Sami "I'm doing it for the fans" promo was taped before he went on Twitter yesterday.

Starks and Big Bill vs. Dark Order didn't make a hell of a lot of sense. The champs are headed into Phoenix to ostensibly be the heels, and yet this match had them as babyfaces.

He went 45 minutes with MJF (on TV no less!), and while that was an excellent match, it's not exactly what I personally would recommend to a wrestler coming back after a long hiatus.

At least Hogan didn't show up.

Trick Williams literally got a huge pop...
Yes, as I imagine many of the people there in Miami are smart marks who've attended NXT live tapings. For those of us at home who don't watch NXT, yeah, no idea, and even when the announcers called it out, it didn't feel like the big deal they were making it out to be.
-
Triple H really needs to learn that just because someone was a big deal in NXT does not mean they're a big deal. Twice, they had NXT people come out like it was this huge moment, and I'm sure a lot of people watching Smackdown were like, "Did a fan jump the barricade?"

WFT??? 😂😂😂 He refused to wrestle outside WWE for years because no other promotion was even close to his level! Be real, you can hate CM Punk all you want, but he's objectively a wrestling superstar.
J.K. Simmons is an Academy Award winning actor, and beloved by millions for his role as J. Jonah Jameson in the Spider-Man franchise. He also does commercials for candy and insurance, because he is a professional, and professionals work the darn jobs regardless of how "big" they are.

So Raw is going to Netflix in January of 2025. Wonder what tier Netflix will place it on.
If WWE thinks I'm going to pay $6.99 (or more) per month to watch RAW, they can go... WELL. The good news is I have 3 hours on Monday nights freed up now!

Rollins as a character is awful too. His matches are usually well done. But everything else has been subpar. He works best as a Weasley heel to me.
Seth Rollins cuts promos with all the intensity of a guy named Chad complaining about his order at Starbucks.
As far as last night...

Oh man, I wish I'd known this when I was starting out... to be fair, it's not like my booking did the product any favours 😅 but that is a good plan regardless. How feasible is making my own broadcaster/platform within the first month? Do I need to save up for a bit or can I splash the cash immediately?
It's been a while since I've loaded up the game, but if memory serves, CWA starts somewhere in the neighborhood of $1.5-3 million. That is more than enough to start a network with coverage in the U.S. as a complement to the main show's broadcaster. However, I like making a second show, as more shows improve your workers and get you closer to that extra skill point.

Never say never. Who would have guessed five years ago that Billy Gunn would be wildly popular now?

Did anyone else notice that Julia Hart got on the wrong side initially for the group suplex spot?

- Going to be sad if Stat turns on Willow. Boots the Iguana! Hook needs an actual storyline.
Similarly, I really hope they don't do something stupid like have Willow turn on Stat.

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect matches that were designed to have a clear winner actually have a clear winner.
ANYWAY, I had trouble breathing after that R-Truth segment.

Not sure if serious or not... you say that as if these sort of things were never used for the purpose of advancing stories before. And this one was pretty obvious. From searching just my memory, i can remember how such things were used as well in days like Ruthless Aggression and such. Was even worse in AE, iirc. Not sure if it is being that overused now in comparison, but at least this time it did make some sense.
It's lazy. Just like when the Hell In A Cell between Roman and Strowman ended in a No Contest when Brock showed up.

So apparently Jericho and Guevara have a tag title shot now. I really hope they don't have Starks and Big Bill drop the belts to those two.
Jericho has had one ever since he and Kenny beat the Young Bucks.

Chris Jericho in a taped backstage segment with the audience muted? GEE, I wonder why they might have gone that route....

I don't think that was his call, as I don't think Lady Frost is All Elite. She's worked for them a few times, but I don't think she's under contract the way that Deeb is.
Still, I do agree that, with all these working agreements AEW has, it's a bit puzzling they've never fully taken advantage of them. Like, instead of feeding the entire women's division to Jade Cargill for 2 years (only for her to go "SEE YA" and sign with WWE, great long-term booking decision there, Tony), they could have brought in talent from AAA or other promotions, do the video package thing, and let them take the loss, keeping the actual AEW women's talent strong and more credible.
