Either Meltzer's being worked or he's in on the work.
I don't see anything but Omega/Page as the All Out endgame. Anything else would be a tremendous misstep.

Not everyone speaks for everyone else to be fair. Plenty of people denounced this post the second it happened. It was a step too far. I really hope it doesn't get like Reddit. I like to think the Board has been really civil and well spoken most of the time... but sometimes we get these situations where tensions run way higher than they should. I also don't think the user in question wanted to invite more fighting as I have talked to them plenty on here... but again... tensions ran really high with this topic in the initial 24 hours. It's thankfully died down since. For the most part, this thread has been a very healthy discussion and everyone’s heeding the OP request of being respectful. And I'm here to change all of that now

f***ing grow up. The atmosphere on this board is rancid these days, used to check in on it everyday now it just feels like Reddit or some shit. Not everyone speaks for everyone else to be fair. Plenty of people denounced this post the second it happened. It was a step too far. I really hope it doesn't get like Reddit. I like to think the Board has been really civil and well spoken most of the time... but sometimes we get these situations where tensions run way higher than they should. I also don't think the user in question wanted to invite more fighting as I have talked to them plenty on here... but again... tensions ran really high with this topic in the initial 24 hours. It's thankfully died down since. Maybe in the past they have been nice but you cannot look at that post as anything but antagonistic. Like I asked before, what else would the goal of that post be besides inviting more fighting? It's boiling down everyone's whole argument to a strawman and then makes fun of them for it. It addresses none of their concerns and only seeks to belittle the other side for their opinion. It's a shit comment made to antagonize and it shouldn't be allowed on this board. People asked this thread to be civil and are patting themselves and others on the back for it being so, while we literally have people saying this comment is chasing them off the site. You can argue whether that's being hyperbolic (which let's be honest, most people on this board are definitely capable of) but it's frustrating to feel unheard to that extent so I completely understand the feeling of not belonging here anymore that others are experiencing.

To be honest, I'm kind of surprised it's still actually up. I've had disagreements before on here, but to me that post is outright trolling. Anyways, to bring it back on topic, I agree that they might be working Meltzer to an extent here but he's also had more accurate info about AEW than most, so I don't know what to think.

Nah I get it. I'm shocked the post was even kept up by the OP or even the Mods because it's a very harsh standout in the overall thread where stuff actually has been rather civil otherwise If it's causing board members to feel alienated I'd definitely remove it if I had the power or at least hope OP does it themselves seeing that they missed the mark this time.

I'd love to get on my high horse and say chill it's only wrestling but I've overreacted to shit that basically doesn't matter same as everyone else. IDK if only we could all meet up at a hotspring and be like yeah wrestling is basically fantastic right now and drink fancy cocktails.

AEW got what they wanted from the start of the company. Hangman Page over as a main event babyface. It didn’t work initially. But it’s working now and I think AEW would be stupid to screw it up. Page can take this loss but another one? That may be one too far.

Saw a rumor on another board that Hangman's wife's due date is around All Out - if that's true then him taking paternity leave is a pretty understandable reason for AEW to shift gears.

Have any even semi official sources said it’s because of the pregnancy? This strikes me a bit as trying to find a reason for the booking decision to make sense. It’s like we’re working through stages of grief trying to understand why they did this.
And overall, one of my problems with how they did it is making us want to see it so badly at All Out. I wouldn’t be so let down with it not happening now if they hadn’t been pushing it so heavily for the show that’s about to happen.

I honestly don't see what the point would be of going with someone else as the challenger at All Out, we know what the endgame is, we've known forever, any other challenger is going to lose. There is zero tension at all in any other match-up. The match may be great, but at this point it's just filler.

This is now the second time this year Page suffered a setback when he was in line for a title shot. It worked out well the first time. But this one just feels more like prolonging it. The end result is known, so you end up with Omega having a match with no tension on one of the biggest shows of the year.

Honestly, if the birth of a kid is the reason things are delayed for a bit? I can’t hold it against anyone, really. It sucks for me as a fan (especially with the bet I have) but as a human, I’d rather he be there for his wife and new child.

If it's the case where Hangman needs to take paternity leave for his kid? I hope people can understand there are some things a touch bigger than the PPV Hangman wins the title at.

The due date would make sense. AEW isn't perfect but they've given me no reason to doubt the idea that they recognize just how over Page is and how important this eventual title win is going to be. Just look at the ending of the match. They basically did almost everything they could to protect Hangman.
