Colt Cabana No Evolution

Colt Cabana's Mother Raps That Max Caster 'Will Lose' Against Her Son On AEW Dark Elevation

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

Leave a comment

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.

Cody Rhodes doesn't fear WWE or anyone else

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

Leave a comment
LA Knight speaks after attacking Ted DiBiase: WWE NXT, June 22, 2021 - YouTube

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?

He Made The Right Choice

DISCLAIMER: I wrote and scheduled this weeks ago…..clearly things have changed

Dante Martin Joins Team Taz, Baffles Darius Martin & Lio Rush

Dante Martin has signed with Team Taz and smartly ditched Lio Rush. I’m wondering if this means Rush will maybe start his own team and battle Team Taz eventually. The Acclaimed have been also making a push to sign Martin, but failed as well. Could Rush team up with The Acclaimed? Maybe The Hybrid 2 can make an appearance. They’ve also been out for a while.

I wonder if this means Hook will finally be in an AEW match finally. I love the idea of Hook and I think they are just waiting for the right time to let him wrestle. I just hope Martin doesn’t double cross Team Taz in favor of Rush. Rush does need something going on, but clearly Martin is making the jump into bigger and better things. Would be nice to see Martin and Powerhouse Hobbs team up and try to take the tag titles from the Lucha Brothers.

But what do you think?

Mojo Rawley I Had High Hopes

Mojo Rawley Provides Update On His Wrestling Future

I actually watched a lot of Mojo Rawley’s matches on Main Event and thought he was soon going to have a main roster opportunity again. I would’ve paired Rawley with Constable Corbin and they would be the muscle for then general manager Stephanie McMahan. I always imaged they would have the combo of Rawley’s corner elbow and tossing the opponent into the End of Days.

I never understood why the WWE forgot about Rawley. Even going as far to have him bring that up the Shane mentioning that he was forgotten, a segment that led to nothing. Even though I never really saw Rawley as a face of the company type, I still saw him as someone who can round out a stable or be a nice addition to Money in the bank matches and Royal Rumbles.

What do you think of Mojo Rawley and what went wrong in his WWE career?

Is Terminator Due for a Multiverse

Every Terminator Movie, Ranked Worst To Best (Including Dark Fate)

I made a video giving a reason of why I think the Marvel and DC multiverses exist and why both companies are exploring their multiverses in upcoming movies. I believe they want to create one linear timeline going forward which can easily explain away all other movies before their cinematic universes were made.

So that being said, is it time for Terminator to do the same? Yea I know, the Terminator movies haven’t been very good since Judgement Day and the new ones are just trying to reboot the franchises hoping they’d resonate with the fans in some way.

A Terminator multiverse would actually make sense in the scope of the franchise. With all the different reboots and sequels that make little sense, would a multiverse tying everything together actually work? I know it won’t be as iconic as all the Spider-Men from previous movies coming together in one scene, but is it possible they can string together some semblance of a story to tie all these movies into one?

New Terminator movie to have James Cameron's involvement - SlashGear

Realistically the studio has 4 choices.

1 Stop making the moves all together and maybe reboot it 10 years when everyone gets the ad taste of Dark Fate out of their mouth.

2 Reboot the franchise for another time and hope it doesn’t fail. You would have to since Dark Fate did so poorly in the box office and reviews. It wouldn’t make sense financially for a studio to green light a sinking ship

3 Move the story forward past the events of Judgment Day and never speak again of time travel. Terminator Salvation I thought was a really cool movie. Sure, they gave away the biggest reveal in the trailer, but besides that it was a fresh take on the franchise

4 Create a multiverse. I mean what makes more sense. A supersmart robot organization created time travel and would send back robots to destroy the savior of the human race or that a wizard screwed up a forget me spell that split open the fabric of reality and sent forth specific versions of the main character? It kind of seems a little weird when you think of it like that.

All 6 'Terminator' Movies, Ranked Worst to Best (Photos)

I guess I would like to see the franchise continue from Salvation and we get the full man vs machine type of showdown we are always teased in the opening moments, but that’s not what Terminator is about. It’s about seeing the savior of humanity as someone who isn’t ready yet to do that. Watching them rise and fall and try theirs best to come into that future role of themselves. Realizing that at an early age that their lives would never be the same and they have to adapt to a future they can’t stop from coming.

I don’t think the studio can keep throwing money at a dying franchise. Everyone who was fortunate enough to view the original movies can see that new ones don’t hit the mark in the trailers and don’t bother to see them. So, who are they making these movies for? They either need a real solid plan to move this franchise forward or kill it entirely.

But what do you think of a Terminator Multiverse and where do you see this franchise going?

Frankie Kazarian Where Are You?

Kazarian Backstage At Impact—Jay White At Slammiversary

What happened to Frankie Kazarian? First AEW tag team champion, was a great wrestler on Impact, even when he’s cannon fodder he still puts on a show, so why did AEW give up on him? When Christopher Daniels semi-retired it seemed like that was the end for Kazarian. Scorpio Sky teamed with Ethan Page and has been more in the spotlight than Kazarian.

I don’t see much instore for Kazarian’s future in AEW. I see him like a Dolph Ziggler type. Someone who can be the face of the company, but will be pushed aside for other talent. He will be in big number matches like Battle Royals and Casino Ladder Matches, maybe the third on a faction, but never front and center.

So where do you see Frankie Kazarian going in AEW and what feud would you like to see him in?

Matt Hardy AEW Champion?

Leave a comment
Matt Hardy Challenges Chris Jericho To The "Elite Deletion" | AEW Dynamite Results (4/8/2020) | All Elite Wrestling - The Overtimer

I read an article about Matt Hardy saying he would love to win the AEW Championship and it got me thinking about his career and if this was an actual possibility. I’ve watched most of Matt Hardy’s wrestling career and I can say with 100% certainty, that Jeff Hardy was the better of the two.

Jeff was the more charismatic of the tag team. He was the more athletic. He had the cooler moves. And when the Hardy Boyz broke up, Jeff went on the win World Championships while Matt did nothing of value. He did win the ECW Championship, but that was a dead brand at the time and was quickly taken off the air.

Matt needed gimmicks in order to be relevant. His Broken/Woken Marr Hardy idea was somehow loved by fans, but it wasn’t something that moved him into the face of the company. Matt blamed the lack of fans for the reason his gimmick didn’t work in AEW. My opinion is it was a dumb idea.

Reintroducing Big Money Matt - YouTube

And now we have Money Matt Hardy which is a faction that was bad from the start. First Private Party joined up with Matt and then the Butcher and Blade for some reason followed to make a faction that is virtually doing nothing. Both of those teams could’ve just found success on their own, but for some reason they decided to make a faction that doesn’t fit at all.

So now we have a Matt Hardy who would like to end his career winning the AEW Championship and sadly I think its too little too late for him. Sometimes tag teams break up and one member is heavily favored over the other. Its not a lack of skill on Matt’s part. He is a very good wrestler. He just didn’t have “it”. As I’m writing this, I’m watching WrestleMania 25 where he beat his brother Jeff with a Twist of Fate as Jeff’s head stuck in a chair. It was a great match overall, but that’s what Matt’s wrestling career is. A few great matches, a few moments that stood out, but no continuous success. All of his gimmicks are either too short or don’t make any sense.

And now we have Jeff who is a free agent and will end up teaming with his brother at some time in the future, but who’s momentum will they kill to do that? When FTR rolled into AEW, they beat the Butcher and Blade who at that time looked like they were poised for a championship run. That’s the big issue I have with AEW is when they bring in some name recognition talent, someone has to be the cannon fodder to make them look great. When the Hardys came back at WrestleMania, that was the year I though Enzo and Big Cass were ready to hold the tag team titles, but the Hardy’s came back and won it.

So to make a long story, my answer is no. Matt Hardy should not win the AEW Championship, Matt Hardy shouldn’t team up with Jeff again and win the AEW Tag Team Titles or be in any major feud, because they aren’t the same guys anymore and AEW already has so much unused talent that we don’t need them being pushed aside again for name recognition.

But what do you guy think about Matt Hardy and do you seem him either winning the AEW Championship or winning the Tag Team Titles with Jeff?
