Terminator How Do We Win
I never understand how humans survived so long in the Terminator Universe.

Marvel Phase 4 is off to a terrible start. The movies and shows are just remaking the old favorites.
AEW : HUGE Win!
Jon Moxley going to rehab worked out TREMENDOUSLY for AEW. Moxley going to rehab was such a shock to the wrestling world because how quietly it happened. When was the last time a superstar at Moxley’s level of popularity went to rehab without a massive story? To my knowledge there was no DWI or his being arrested for drunk and disorderly or anyone getting hurt. There was just a simple announcement on social media and that was it. AEW didn’t have to debate firing one of the best and most popular wrestlers in the world right now.
Moxley coming back was a huge announcement. I was a little surprised that AEW even announced his return. I figured it would just be a wrestler is out giving a promo and BAM Moxley returns. AEW crushed it in the ratings that Dynamite because of his return.
In Moxley’s absence, Eddie Kingston was involved in a series of matches with Daniel Garcia, 2.0 and the Inner Circle, which were all great matches and give Garcia and 2.0 big named feuds.
So, Moxley announced his rehab that didn’t result in a black stain for AEW, nobody got fired, AEW killed it in the ratings with his return, a lot of wrestlers got featured in big matches because of it, Moxley gave the best speech of his career AND brought awareness to substance abuse and getting people the help they need. AEW got extremely lucky with how this situation turned out and the company is now doing better because of it.

Eddie Kingston: No Plan For Him
I didn’t know much about Kingston and the first time I saw him wrestle was against Cody Rhodes for the TNT Title. It was a good match, but it didn’t warrant what happened next for Kingston. He somehow was leading a team of Butcher, Blade, Bunny, Rey Fenix and Pentagon Jr which none of them members helped him in his title match with Jon Moxley shortly after the team was formed. I argued that Kingston should’ve won that title match, even though he wasn’t the better wrestler. Mainly because Moxley was by himself at that time.
Now Kingston is putting on more impressive matches and again being paired off with mix matched wrestlers. Now he’s hanging with Santana and Ortiz, which is again weird because those two should still be with the Inner Circle and now they are with Kingston….because of reasons?
It just seems like AEW, at this point, doesn’t have a direction for Kingston and is randomly pairing him off until something sticks. But how would you book Kingston now and what pairing makes sense?

Colt Cabana No Evolution
I don’t enjoy wrestlers like Colt Cabana and never understand why fans love them so much. Cabana is a joke character. Not saying the man can’t wrestle, but his style is mostly to make people laugh than actually shock and amaze. Which is why I found it so weird that The Dark Order pursued him so much.
I was hoping that Cabana in The Dark Order would bring out a different side of him. Someone that can be morphed from Brodie Lee into a more ruthless wrestler, but that never happened. Cabana was and still is the same wrestler. Someone who is still beloved, but doesn’t really do much to earn that.
The difference between Cabana and Orange Cassidy is that Cassidy isn’t just a comedy wrestler. Yes, his Sloth Style is fun to watch, but Cassidy then turned from Jekyll to Hyde in a second to becomes a top tier wrestler. Cassidy was always a great wrestler, but giving him that extra level of character development really sets him apart.
I would like to see Cabana change up his style and really move up in the rankings, but how far can he realistically go in AEW?

Cody Rhodes is a Free Agent
I don’t…ummmm…wait what…so Cody Rhodes is a free agent? Okay let’s get into this. Cody Rhodes is still with AEW, there’s no question about that. I think this is more of Roman Reigns has Covid which was a complete lie just to add Brock Lesnar to fight for the other title.
So I don’t think this is Rhodes is a free agent, but more of which forbidden door is he going through next? I don’t think Rhodes will be heading to NJPW for a bit, but if he was to show up on Impact Wrestling or ROH I wouldn’t be surprised.
Right now would be the best time for Rhodes to make his way to another allied company. Even though Facebook and Twitter would probably disagree with me, but Rhodes is a huge name in the world of wrestling and his name will bring fans to the show. I didn’t know much about NJPW and ROH, but Rhodes making his appearance in both was headline news on all of my social medias.
When Chris Jericho signed with AEW he explained how people will watch because they know his name and are curious about it. And it worked. Even though Kenny Omega has been blessed by Zeus himself, Jericho did more in the early days of AEW than Omega did. Name recognition matters.
Now if Rhodes was to go to ROH or Impact would be amazing for AEW. Let’s say Rhodes does show up on Impact and forms a faction with Brain Myers, Matt Cardona, W Morrissey, Madman Fulton and Tenille Dashwood. The faction starts to run the Impact brand, acquiring all the titles in the company and then show up to AEW as a heel faction dismantling all other factions in their pursuit for gold. Would that sound outside the realm of possibility?

LA Knight Dead In The Water
Well LA Knight’s WWE career is over. You brought Knight in, had an extremely long feud with Camron Grimes that wasn’t fun to watch at all, then he became cannon fodder for Bron Breakker and that’s about it for him. Knight came in with a “face of the company” feel to him. He was doing everything right. Physically looks great, unique finisher, mic skills, star power, just overall someone who can come in and you don’t have to build him up because he’s ready to go. But then they had no idea what to do with him. Even if you wanted Breakker to beat Knight, it shouldn’t have been in his debut match, especially not on a pay per view.
So how can they save LA Knights career and who would you like him to fight next?
