My boy Penta been done super dirty I still don't get the... and here he is Pentagon Obscura... the more evil version of him... who got beaten down in his debut... And it isn't the first time they have done this They were having him be a dangerous threat for a few weeks when he was back to taking arms when Fenix was out on injury and then the weirdness with Cody happened and that ended up falling flat too You could blame the Pandemic before but there is no reason why Penta should not be a bigger deal in AEW

B) TK’s reluctance to supernatural stuff. When he went dark they had Alex looking like he came out of a rocky horror picture production.

He's over with a catchphrase he doesn't need to talk And he doesn't have to be supernatural just a sadistic asshole who will break your arm or a babyface with zero fear and never say die attitude

Think they're struggling with the money guy being right there vs. the slow burn of a mostly homegrown star against an interim champ who's also facing down an aging veteran. Hurts, but I think this was all an exceptionally unwise booking decision by AEW. Maybe Punk returns, maybe he doesn't, but you just cannot trust this guy long term. Let Penta run with it and see what a Fenix chase looks like.

If OC doesn't win tomorrow, I'll give up on him or Best Friends ever winning a Championship

Haven't read the whole thread... but Pentagon.
I kno he's got one of the 6 man belts.
But this dude should be a main event attraction.

While I get the want to see him in the main event title scene, a former Tag Champion (In what is considered one of the best matches in AEW History) and being the current Trios Champion isn't "Nothing", he is constantly featured.

That's true. But he's honestly one of my favorite AEW guys. So I just want him breaking arms and winning the world title.

Does Penta still have commitments in Mexico? That could be a reason they don't go all in on him. He might need to spend more time there then they would like their main champion, or challenger, being away? If not, then I agree. Him and Phoenix are tremendous talents that should be featured more prominently on their shows.

I think OC will be fine no matter what happens tomorrow because his character is inching towards taking everything a little more seriously and clearly wants some gold. If he loses, I think it furthers that story. I think there's a reason TK keeps putting him in title matches where he comes up short.

I'm not saying I'm giving up on him doing ANYTHING in AEW, but the window they have to make Miro one of their top, top dudes is closing fast, and its infuriating. He should've been right near the top of the card and stayed there since his return from injury. Dude was so over and now I worry that if they keep holding off on putting him at the top of the card the crowds won't be as interested in him.

But I always got the impression Death Triangle as a whole never really got singles titles till the All Atlantic title due to commitments outside of AEW (Lucha Bros still being heavily involved with AAA)

Sonny Kiss. They had her join the Trustbusters and we thought she'll be on TV but nope. Nada, and don't say she's on youtube those dont mean as much. The last two times she's been on TV, were blink and you miss it affairs. I've had handshakes that lasted longer.

Miro.
After losing the TNT title he hasn't done anything of note, I would have him as the next challenge for Wardlow's title as he can use some big title defenses.
Also FTR, I mean they have every title except the promotion they work for. They should have been in the mix against SIOG, perhaps they will challenge the winner of tonight's title match on Dynamite.
