Chosen ones?

[This Player Hating Mothman]

Takeshita is the only one who wouldn't be obvious just from what's going on on-screen and I hope he can get something moving on that front. Love hearing that Swerve is seen as meaningfully the company's future and not just a guy who's on a hot streak in the moment. That Hangman didn't 'get his turn' and is now no longer a main fixture with plans is great to hear. Those are six people who would never be on top in WWE and on their own merits are what top AEW guys can be, and that's where you can feel the health of AEW as a show with its own identity.

[Facetious]

As shitty and pointless as the JAS ended up being, Garcia getting to show he's more than just a wrestler has done wonders for his stock.

Chosen one! weee ooo weee oooo weee

[Zone Was Wrong]

One thing I love about AEW is the fact they reset the divisions when acts begin to become stale. What a terrific group of guys to build around for the foreseeable future.

I mean their best wrestlers being their best wrestlers is great news

Weird to see Garcia above Darby and Jay White. Seems more a future star than current.The others are all who I would build the title picture around.

I don't think White's going to be there super long-term like these guys are. Just because he can much more easily be slotted into WWE/NJPW

Takeshita has no heat from me at all. don't even know his moveset or what his finish is. Don't get his hype at all.

[Mid-Carder]

I can't pinpoint why because in theory he's received a good push but I feel like this heel run has done nothing for Takeshita.

I like Garcia but I wouldnt choose him in the same level as the other, still. Good solid choices for your brand

Really bad theme song and random stretches where he does completely nothing haven't helped. But in the ring he is probably a top 10 talent in the world, so if they can just commit to him (and please give him a real goddamn theme song), he has got this.

Also glad to see Garcia has surpassed Sammy as he has really run with it when given the chance the last 18 months or so and Sammy has...not.

I agree. TK does seem to fancy Garcia a lot though. I do too. But I think he’s got a way to go to get to the level of the others. He’s young, so that helps.

Agreed with all the choices, particularly OC. His role should be maximized.

Tony Khan: "I have been called bad before. Many have said I do things I am not correct to do. I don't believe in talk such as this. I am nice man, with happy feelings all of the time. First, a joke. What do you get when you cross an owl with a bungee cord? Chris Jericho, nyehahahahahaha! ENOUGH!"

[KingPooper]

Soo… he watched an episode of Dynamite?

[Totorob101]

Best roster in the world and one could argue one of the best of all time in ring.
