The roster prior to Punk/Mox/Cole/Danielson was severely lacking star power. They are essential and needed, especially for a start up company.
Hangman is definitely THE guy tho, and I actually can see Hangman taking the title off Punk at Full Gear. I don't expect Punk to have a year long reign. Hangman, Andrade, Wardlow, Malackai and imo Miro are the only ones that should be legitimate threats to take the title off Punk.
I would be satisfied with any five of them, but Hangman as the first 2x World Champ is how he'll be legitimized.
I didn't want to say it but I don't see Punk having a long reign as well... I agree they definitely needed people other than Jericho to bring star power to AEW.
I am completely lost who should take it from Punk now. I said Bryan, but someone that isn't him, Mox or Page have another reign I am lost. Maybe Wardlow, they push Darby in there or build up Starks? I have no clue.
Imo it's gotta be Hangman to legitimize him. I wouldn't even mind if he was a tweener either. If not him then Darby or Ricky when it comes to making the next big young star.
MJF was about to until he worked himself into likely getting released
(goofy ass nigga)
I wouldn't mind Malackai at all since he actually helped get Punk back into wrestling shape. Andrade is also another one that needs a big push. A returning Miro would be great too, although I see him back in the TNT picture cause they desperately need it.
he said he wants to work with ricky starks
Ricky
Man has one of the best in ring psychologies out there.
@Giz I don't know about Andrade now. I can see TNT title for him and if they brought flair in maybe..Miro I could see go against punk. Black need to be build up a little bit more. That's why HOB needed that win yesterday.
Punk winning the title had to happen, if they dragged out for another year, his momentum would’ve faded.
Also you need someone established like him to drop the title to build a new star, no offense to Hangman but I don’t think he has hit peak in terms of star power yet to be that guy.
The same account I linked was fanboying over 62 year old Sting tho lolol and Sting is great dont get me wrong, but to do that and then complain about 43 year old Punk is wild
Wow. Sting and Darby need to break up though.

That's true. Maybe going after the ROH TV title or TNT title may benefit Andrade. Miro should def at least be one of Punk's challengers, but he needs a big win too.
I can see HoB being the first trios winners tbh.
So that leaves Ricky or Darby, and personally I'd go with Ricky.
Punk / Starks could be an interesting feud
what are they doing with that FTW belt tho man lol
No Ricky definitely up next but he need to be feuding with a top guy. The fact it took people this long to get starks appeal is crazy. I liked him from other promotions.

Isn't Andrade doing something with Rush

Yup, so they may dabble a little bit between AEW and ROH imo.
Regardless, Andrade def needs something to legitimize him as well.
It’s kinda killing me that MJF is causing all of this drama just get lil bro’d by The Miz

I mean Rex Steiner or w/e the initial name he was going by was pretty dope but he made Bron work like a mothafucka so I can't complain
