Would an AEW Young Talent Tournament work?

[The Lach is very tired]

The Daniel Garcia thread got me thinking, there is so many young guys is there enough for a single elimination style tournament? Winner gets a title shot on Dynamite.

Here is a list of contracted talent that is 25 or younger. Dante Martin, Darius Martin, Daniel Garcia, Griff Garrison, Alan “5” Angels, Isiah Kassidy, Jungle Boy, Lee Johnson, Marko Stunt, Bear Bronson & MJF.

They could always do their version of the Young Lions Cup. Hell, since they're already working with New Japan, mix some of their Young Lions in with it.

Honestly, I'm just a sucker for Round Robin tournaments and will take any excuse to see them more often.

Absolutely they should go for this.
Would love to see a G1 style tournament. Add in some stakes like a TNT title shot for the winner and you've got some guaranteed bangers.

[King Devitt]

Absolutely, and they have the roster depth to pull this off and it wouldn't feel half-assed.

I think it would if you do it in a similar manner as New Japan does and have the winner challenge the TNT Champion. Would be an excellent way to help promote the company's up-and-coming prospects.

Do a Young Lions Cup style thing. Can even combine it with a TNT title shot. But at the very least give the winner a trophy or an accolade so people can call them the "2022 winner of this" and so on. AEW has the talent to do it... but they also have the connections that we could see a bevy of amazing young talent from all over the globe compete in it.

If it's like CHIKARA's Young Lions Cup... the qualifiers ending in a four way eliminator to decide each finalist? That's such an awesome and exciting premise to me. Everyone gets a showcase. The eliminator provides fun spotfesty chaos. You put a ton of young talent over.

In the end we'll see what they do. But there's a lot they can. I'd also put it on Youtube. I'd revolve an entire DARK/Elevation or two around it.

A league would be different from any USA company

I'd love to see them do something like the Young Lions Cup. I love wrestling tournaments, especially ones where the prestige of winning the tournament is its own reward even with a title shot attached. Use it to build promising young talents into rising stars.

only if they named the tournament after whichever WWE exec said their roster is made up of children
