Hunter should buy NWA at this point. He would probably get it for a steal I’m sure he’s got ten bucks and a used Dokken album handy…

Anybody notice the really tasteless angle they did between EC3 and Thom Latimaer AKA Bram playing off of Bram's real life history of domestic violence, and substance abuse?

Also did AEW reach out to the NWA so they be involved with the Belt Collection story? Because that could have done wonders for the NWA Belt. Like how is Tyrus a pick that makes sense?

I just can't grasp who thought it was a good idea to draw atention to one of their top acts multiple real life issues that way. Like this is stuff that if people didn't already know about it, they'd probably look it up, and then you've got aother massive shitstorm on your hand. It's amazing the show was so bad this got no mention until now.

Didnt Jerry Lawler already do that almost exact storyline with Jake back in 1996?

In Billy's defense, something I will rarely do, Aldis' long reign at that time was probably meant to have whatever face beat him get a big rub from it, so having Omega defeat him would have likely gotten negative reactions from some people, even if I'd have been cool with it. I get why Corgan said no under those circumstances. Still, Murdoch's win didn't ultimately feel like THAT big a deal, frankly, and him beating Omega for it would have probably been better since it'd have garnered more attention outside of NWA.

Thinking about it, better options than Tyrus are not exactly uncommon.
I'd have said "everybody", but even if that's correct, I at least understand the "he's on TV" argument in Tyrus' favor. I sure don't agree with it, but I understand it. So, I'll keep this to top picks.
- Chris Adonis (Chris Masters). This is my biggest one. He'd be a fantastic choice, honestly. - Elijah Burke. Another solid choice. - Homicide. Speaks for itself. - Matt Cardona again. Maybe Matt said "lol no thanks". - An outside talent, be it a company crossover or freelancer. Cardona counts as one of these, too, granted, but still....

I too can get WHY he didn't and plus how the collection ended with Omega giving up his AAA belt due his body just saying "Nope. That's ENOUGH" but him holding it would've been good for the belt.

Right, plus we saw with the Impact title that Omega wasn't above losing one of them. With AAA, needing to do it in another country during a pandemic didn't help, something that wouldn't be an issue in the US. Additionally, frankly, title belts in lucha aren't the hugest deal in the world. They're not meaningless, but long periods without defenses, relinquishing the belt, etc, are definitely par for the course with AAA/CMLL/The Crash belts, since masks/hair tend to be the big draw to put on the line.

They could easily make a star out of him, with his father having won several NWA titles but never Sweet Charlotte herself.

Can we pull Ladder from DDT out of retirement? That's a better option. I’d prefer the dachshund. Co-champions.

Whilst he did lose the Impact Championship, he didn't lose it to an Impact Wrestler or Impact Show. It was like a lateral to Christian Cage, who did the honours for Josh Alexander

Regardless, Colby would have been better than Tyrus.

It's wild that a guy like EC3 who had charisma for days in NXT has lost all the said charisma. He's traded in personality for XPW levels of edgelord storytelling.
