I'm sure Starks IS the transitional feud.

As entertaining as that promo battle was, it didn't give anyone of us 1% confidence that Starks has any chance of winning that match.
That’s my issue with doing this so early. There is NO ONE that thinks he has any chance of winning. And he doesn’t/won’t.

Would have preferred Danielson. Putting MJF over him makes him look THAT much stronger and legitimate. Him beating Starks right now does nothing for him. So yeah, he is the transition.

Danielson is the first PPV cycle feud.

I think they’re doing it now so when they do it for real there’s is already built in history.

When they revisit it 6mos to a year from now it will mean so much more.

Plus they’ll already have great video package fodder.
 
The entrants into the Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame Class of 2022 are:

Akira Taue & Toshiaki Kawada
Mistico
Kota Ibushi
Tetsuya Naito
Los Villanos
Rollerball Mark Rocco
Lou Daro

Do you have to be 40 to make the HOF? Literally Ibushi, Naito, and Mistico all hit 40 this year.
 
One of the ideas being discussed for Roman at WrestleMania is wrestling both nights, one vs Cody and one vs The Rock

Whether you do it now vs. 6 months from now it will be the same thing. I doubt he (RS) will be on THAT level within MJF's reign. Hell, if ever.

Don’t really agree there. Let him go over some top of the card guys in the next several months til Doubles or Nothing or All Out. WWE guys/Hangmin/Omega/etc.

That would make him significantly more important than he is now. Gives them another legit A&W guy to get the belt on.

Kind of the way Hunter is dealing with Theories right now. Put him in ring with top card dudes like FRANKLIN and Bobbo to give him credibility. Don’t feed him right to Big Dog (which is why the briefcase was holding him back). He wasn’t ready for that, but Vince gonna Vince.
 
uh if cm punk didnt increase ratings sasha sure wont. this isnt the 90's. there arent any wrestling fans out there to drastically increase the ratings. and wwe stans for sure wont tune in.

Realistically what are the chances that RS is given the opportunity to do all that though. If things played out the way you mapped them, YES I would agree but can we honestly see that happening? I seriously doubt it.

Lol doubts based on ABSOLUTEly nothing. The last 2 winners of the Elminator tournament are Daniel Bryan and Kenny Omega.

You still want him to be slapped together tag-team. You just don’t get IT.

Agree. However, assuring by adding Mercedes to the AEW women’s roster would help spice the division up.

Which btw, who’s gonna be the one to dethrone Jade?

1 Match Banks ain't helping the viewership on any show, on any network, on any planet..
 
AEW has a ratings cap of about 1.2 million on a regular basis. I can’t really seem them surpassing that regularly any time soon.

WWE ratings aren’t based on it being good or bad it’s based on being WWE. A company with 50 years worth of brand name association ,history and nostalgia. AEW regardless of individual names can’t compete with that.

CM Punk definitely helped the ratings tho.
