On the subject of AJ Styles, good to see AEW's director channelling the spirit of Kevin Dunn by botching his camera cuts for Jay's debut. Still will never be as bad as "Keep the camera on Roman's confused as shit face for ten straight seconds" Or botching Edge's first spear back Rumbles are a bit cursed lol

Sorry, but there is absolutely no way in hell that Jay White would be a star in a Vince McMahon-lead WWE. Not that he SHOULDN'T be, but there's a 0% possibility that McMahon would get Jay White. That's my mistake, I meant WWE under HHH. I'm still thinking in terms of before a few days ago when it was still looking likely Jay White was WWE bound. No doubt Vince would've done nothing substantial with him, but I still would've been excited to see what HHH would do Oh, I absolutely agree. If Vince had stayed away, it would have been a very different scenario, and I would have been stoked no matter which way he went.

should be a good pickup but AEW has something of a logjam at the top of the card. I'm sure that he'll do great but there are so many people on the roster!

Looks like we have an NWO Wolfpac scenario.

Looks like we have an NWO Wolfpac scenario. Throwing guns up for the sign as opposed to the 2sweet huh? I like it. Truthfully, America is a bit sensitive right now regarding guns but I doubt that will have any real push back. Depends on how much "Bullet Club" is marketed locally I guess but still we have precedent from Hot Topic in the past. Ranting but I still have the NJPW pops of Kenny, Cody, and the Bucks from there and was floored to see them when I originally saw those in store as I had not seen another companies merchandise on a shelf in a decade probably since the TNA lines.

I am all aboard the black and gold train baby. But I do wonder if they bring in Bey/Austin or recruit from the AEW roster.

So this does lead me to think we may have a situation where Ricky gets help from David Finlay, and maybe becomes a Bullet Club OG member himself in the process, at least an ally
Curious who else joins here, Bey and Austin would be good if they can swing them from Impact, otherwise I wonder who they could pick from the roster or otherwise.

Looking forward to seeing how he fares in AEW. I'm a big fan of his, so hopefully AEW treats him right.

I think Jay White would've been a made man under the (Stephanie) McMahon-Helmsley regime. Maybe not "immediately jump to WWE Championship picture" made, but I have little doubt Triple H knew how special he was and would've rolled out the proverbial red carpet for him. Vince? Yeaaaaah. I actually thought the one person in the higher-ups of WWE that would have fell in love with him was Shawn Michaels. I just figure he'd take him under his wing and see him as a younger version of himself the same way he has Grayson Waller.

One thing that stuck out to me is that Jay's always been a guy who takes a lot of pride in his physique. He got that as a young lion from Hiroshi Tanahashi.
Even so, he looked fantastic even by his standards.

They should recruit Griff Garrison, get him the hell away from Failin' Failman Jr. No idea what those two are doing lol but yea, griff’s got potential. Common sense would dictate they need a hoss and/or a tag team 🤔 One thing that stuck out to me is that Jay's always been a guy who takes a lot of pride in his physique. He got that as a young lion from Hiroshi Tanahashi. Even so, he looked fantastic even by his standards. Man is absolutely shredded. Lean & mean, baby. What caught my interest was how crisp and fast he was moving. Really can’t wait to see the dudes in ring work in AEW as well as his promo/character work in adapting to an American audience.

I'm really curious if the BC Black and Gold is just a rebranded BC USA to reflect AEW's colors of black, white, and gold, but it's still part of the wider BC organization. Basically, kinda like other sub-groups like House of Torture, Rogue Army, or the original incarnation of the Elite where it's Jay's little BC-affiliated fiefdom. Or if this is the BC Wolfpac to Dave Finlay's BC Black and White. Though the funny thing is that Black and Gold seems firmly in the heel camp where BC USA has been shown as more tweener-ish on Impact, depending on the angle demands.
Really, really curious to see where this leads. But I'd totally buy a BC Black and Gold logo shirt if that's what they showed on the Tonytrons when Jay made his entrance.

Griff needs to be the youngboy for a stable to establish himself and learn, similar to Wheeler Yuta with BCC.
