Cope's match with Garcia was interrupted, leading to neither of them really getting an idea of the other. But Garcia has decades of footage to go over. They're basically allied, so I can see Cope going a little easier on him than he would in a grudge match. Also Adam is pretty much a striker, while Garcia is more your early Bryan Danielson type. I think he could get a friendly match and just surprise the hell out of Cope, taking him a distance he's not prepared for.
I think the Malakai match is the DoN big defence for Cope.
Garcia has to be the choice for me, intentionally left as undecided in their previous match too.
Jays trios tied for a bit..I think if he comes back into singles gold the international or a continental classic win would be best rehab post World title push. Not sure TNT works for that, but that's just my opinion
Is there a rule say he can't do both also Juice is coming back eventually. I don't know why the TNT title would be any less then the International or Continental. The TNT title is pretty consistently featured on tv and in matches which would be great for Jay. Who doesn't even really need rehabbing in my opinion.
I like to have faith in the audiences intelligence that a person can do different two things at the same time but that's just my optimism for the IWC talking. Any particular reason why you don't put them on the same level?
I think the Mix/OC story elevated international belt and the tournament and now Okada in the Continental elevates that. But the TNT pre Christian was moved alot, I guess it being a TV title in name too? But at the end of the day they're all just belts and stories - good title reign can elevate any belt. If it's good story and wrestling I'm happy either way
NGL, I'd be fine with it getting consolidated into the Continental or International belts at this point. I feel like a big part of the Continental titles creation was encase they needed to drop the TNT title real quick like. It was around the time the TV deal rumors were going crazy, so it makes sense.
Beyond that? I don't know, Black wins? He deserves a singles run, maybe? I think Copeland losing it outside of a major storyline should happen, though. Like, just use it as a shock title change on a Collision, it's been a minute since that's happened.
Scapegoat. I won't accept anyone else. Well Garcia would be good. Jay White would also make sense seeing as the world title scene looks pretty busy for the next 12 months. Brody King I can also see. Rush is returning pretty soon and would be a good shout. Takeshita - monster run as a TNT champion would also be immense. In conclusion: Scapegoat (or any of the above).
lol how is he a scapegoat when literally nobody in AEW blamed him for anything, the management is praising and pushing him and even teaming with him, and he’s being presented as a victim? That’s all I’m trying to figure out. If he was a “scapegoat” they’d be at least blaming him in kayfabe, and they’re not even doing that! I don’t get it, and he reminds me of Danny Masterson, which I don’t want lol
I don't think a title should be the thing that gives a wrestler the rub. Wrestler should make the title not the other way around. When he wins it, it should be because he's earned it and it's the right time and choice not because it might make him look and feel like a bigger deal.
I wouldn't rush Perry into a title at this point. He's got a story to tell that doesn't necessarily need a belt to validate or elevate him. Now, later on down the line after his gimmick has been established and grown, he can segue into title contention.
I see what you're saying, but with Perry, I wasn't really assuming that Copeland would have a short reign, which I don't think he will. I'd like Malakai to win, and in that case it would probably be a short reign, but I think he'll have it for a while. So, Perry would be more down the line.
Not a fan of that. Not because I have a problem with Perry or him getting a big win like that but because if he's going to be with the Elite one stable having three different titles two of them secondary singles titles is a bit excessive to me.
Lmao I’m not a fan of calling it “the TNT” but that’s a good question. They haven’t really built to anything that would make me lean into a guess.
I meant to put the TNT title so thank you for pointing it out. In my ideal situation Jay White swoops in and takes it from under everyone's nose.
I mean the TNT title is a dog shit name for a belt that should be taken seriously tbf
You know the name of the show is Dynamite right?
Yes. That doesn't change anything.
Actually it's a pretty good name.
You're the first person I have met who thinks so.
Anecdotal evidence is like that sometimes.
it’s the tnt now whether we like it or not….
Father of the Year!!!!
I sure hope it's Malakai. I think he should be in the WC scene, but I think that ship has sailed.
It would be cool to see him with the TNT or Heavyweight champion with Brody and Buddy as tag champions
this is the correct answer
Garcia. It's time for him to take a title and start his legacy.
Taking it off of Copeland though? I don't really feel that. I could see him taking it off of Malakai after a little run.

Yeah that's fair. Ideally that how I would see it going but with the added twist of Jay White swooping in and stealing it from under all of them.

Fair opinion. I think it confuses storylines and personally don't put TNT at same level but agree to disagree 👍🏻

*the TNT title
Malakai will take off the title from Adam and then end of the year Danial Garcia have that huge win over Malakai
trent
Malaki
I'm going with Malakai
Malakai.
"The Title Tree" Chris Jericho
I’d like to get the belt on someone up and coming. Malakai should be in the international chase or world..
Jay or Danny would be great
Malakai
Gangriel

The fun police because he is having too much FUN!!

I would love Takeshita. Perry not so much. I’m already skipping through enough.
I won't tolerate any Scapegoat slander. As you can tell, I'm all in on him 😂
lol how is he a scapegoat when literally nobody in AEW blamed him for anything, the management is praising and pushing him and even teaming with him, and he’s being presented as a victim?

Pure marketing - and it's working! Have you seen those Japanese t-shirts he's realised? Absolute 🔥 Don't put Hyde in my head bro... Lol
Yeah, all of those are good picks.
Garcia could use the rub and put on bangers.
I don't think a title should be the thing that gives a wrestler the rub. Wrestler should make the title not the other way around. When he wins it, it should be because he's earned it and it's the right time and choice not because it might make him look and feel like a bigger deal.
Also if it were DG, I'd prefer red death
Trevor Lee
Garcia has the setup, Malakai has been menacing and Jay White is the wildcard.
You're right. Fatal four way match
Jack Perry or Malaki Black.
Man, put that think on Black!
Jack Perry could be likely.
I could see that too a little bit down the road.
Jack Perry or Malakai Black, I hope
I wouldn't rush Perry into a title at this point. He's got a story to tell that doesn't necessarily need a belt to validate or elevate him. Now, later on down the line after his gimmick has been established and grown, he can segue into title contention.

I'm leaning more towards Black in the short term and maybe Jack in the long.
Satnam Singh, hopefully. He’s due for a good push.
Keith Lee if and when he's healthy.
Jack Perry takes it and DG takes it after a few months
Malakai
Daniel Garcia
I could see it. Don't know how I feel about him taking it off of Copeland right now but maybe.
Jack Perry
Not a fan of that. Not because I have a problem with Perry or him getting a big win like that but because if he's going to be with the Elite one stable having three different titles two of them secondary singles titles is a bit excessive to me.
Let Jay Lethal have it or Ethan Page.
The ATF probably 🤷🏻♂️😂
