Think the belts are good, not great, though really just thinking that puts them as probably my second favorite belts in the company after the TBS one.

I really hope the trios division is under tornado rules. Make it really standout from the tag division and most trios matches descend into tornado rules anyway, so why bother pretending tagging in and out and five-counts mean anything.

My dream booking swerve:
The Bucks ask Page to be their third and he says “Sorry, I already have partners”
They think that’s fine because Kenny is coming back, but Kenny tells them he already has a team, too.
So after repeatedly turning him down, the Bucks finally need Brandon Cutler to be their third man, but they discover that he is already the third man in a team with Page and Omega.

I hope that we get a heel that nobody wants to team with and they end up having to settle with Chaos Project.

This reminded me of one of the few old Photoshop threads not killed by image hosting sites because there's a YouTube video.

I hope they take the spirit of the King of Trios and get some guest teams in.

Here is the bracket. Seems like Dark Order vs Elite seems to be odds on favorite, but I kind of get the feeling that the Bucks get scewed out of the first round by UE. By dream match would be Best Friends vs United Empire in the finals with OC getting the win over Billy GOAT

As much as I'd like it to be Dark Order's time to finally get some gold, I feel they'd be a one and done team losing to H.O.B.

I'm guessing the Dark Order isn't going to be out in the first round mostly since it'd render that segment with the Bucks completely pointless. Probably do something where like Brody's still hurt from what happened with Darby or Miro costs them the match or something.

Idk why I believe United Empire is replacing ReDragon due to KOR and Cole still not cleared to wrestle.

Idk why I believe United Empire is replacing ReDragon due to KOR and Cole still not cleared to wrestle. It's a sensible guess. Undisputed Elite were an obvious choice to at least make a run in this tourney, and the other UE are at least credible from their recent appearances and a general mystique of being major NJPW guys.

The finals should be Death Triangle vs Best Friends, but there isn’t any way the bucks aren’t in there.
I have Best Friends making it to the finals. I just don’t see DO making it and HOB has like a million other things going on that could kept them busy for the ppv.
Best Friends deserve to win it all.

For all of the talks for 3 years of AEW having so many stables and trios, this bracket is like half recently formed teams or those on loan from another promotion. Where's JAS? 2.0 and Hagger aren't in any feuds themeselves atm so they could've entered.

They spend the past two years with a kabillion obvious three-man units, and we end up with eight teams, one of which is outsiders (which jumps to 2 and 2/3 if you count ROH)? Baffling.

Where's JAS? 2.0 and Hagger aren't in any feuds themeselves atm so they could've entered. Think it's kind of a good show of AEW's usual problems of 1), just inexplicably not giving people opportunities they should logically have when they don't want them to lose (see how FTR's done f***-all in months because they don't want to just do the obvious thing and give them a tag title shot, or the jobber battle royal to see who got to lose to Mox) and 2), having tons of people who entirely exist to get destroyed. Like logistically you could have the Factory, Jay Lethal's crew, JAS, BCC, FTR & Wardlow, and some combination of AFO in there and all make more sense than Ospreay's group or the Dark Order or Trustbusters or Andrade's crew but all of them run into one of those problems or the other. Though they've also just broken up a few teams lately. Team Taz, Assclaimed, and Jurassic Express & Christian all would've been solid options had they not recently split.

I don't mind the lineup at all- You've got all the most obvious trio teams in it (Elite, House of Black, Best Friends, Death Triangle, Dark Order), one that also makes a lot of sense in Rush/Andrade/Dragon Lee, and a guest team in United Empire to give it this world tournament feel. The only bullshit inclusion are the Truthbusters, but at least they are fresh faces.
2 Finals I'd most like to see are Death Triangle/Best Friends (all AEW originals), or Kenny & The Bucks vs House of Black; that'd be insane. V-trigger off between Kenny and Buddy for 20 minutes straight.

I think this is in part a downfall of waiting for Kenny cause a lot of trios that were viable are either broken up, injured, or people left the company. Still a very good lineup. As for JAS not being in it. I'm guessing since they have other teams in line to win they just didn't want to put a combo in the tournament

I hope they're not bringing Dragon Lee in just to take the fall.

Daddy Magic was injured, idk if he is still 100% ready to return to the ring despite just doing 1 bump for Punk last night
I hope they're not bringing Dragon Lee in just to take the fall.
Dragon Lee was another one with "That doesnt work for me" case like his brother Rush.
