Personally, I really like there being other accolades that wrestlers can line their trophy cabinets with. Things like tournaments, which AEW has a couple good ones, and event matches like the Royal Rumble.

I’d love for AEW to designate an annual event-match that can also serve to elevate a resume!

On the other hand, the large amount of AEW & ROH belts seems to create a narrative logjam at times. Like they can’t fully service promoting each belt without things feeling forced and last minute at times. I don’t know if it’s always the best use of AEW’s screen time.

Also, my unsolicited opinion about the belts is that it isn’t as simple as there are or are not too many belts on tv.

Belts from other promotions, to me, adds a sense of scope to the wrestling world that #AEW exists in and a sense of prestige to the wrestlers themselves.

Yeah, but this is the one annoying me right now

Amount of belts

It started last night and runs on Dynamite and Collision all through December! The first night had two major upsets and was super fun! The semi-finals and finals will be on PPV at Worlds End at the end of the month!

It’s the best wrestlers in the world, no interference, every week!

Hear me out. He loses to Dorada and they kick him out tonight. He goes on a losing streak. On the final night, he takes Claudio to a draw to prevent him from making it to the Semis.

Worlds End is a rematch between Claudio/Mox to send Mox away for a while.

It’s our trauma response from the first time. Please forgive us.

Just goes to show the caliber of professional that Joe is, to be so consistently over, available and reliable.

Really thought I’d missed the magic of some of his career, yet he keeps pulling out that magic endlessly.

I need a buddy-cop home invasion from the two!

Actually, going further, I think Hangman’s story might always have been about how he responds to losing the belt. Will he tuck his tail, or will he persist with his very valid claim that Joe can’t actually beat him? This would be one of the biggest contrasts to his original reign, imo.
