AEW plot holes

[uewfigfed]

Add if you want:
- How come not one champ has rematch clauses written into their contracts??
- Why as last years champ, was Adam Cole not in the Owen tourney to I dunno… DEFEND HIS TITLE??
- Why does Jade Cargill seem to have ZERO interest in taking down Toni Storm, though she pops off bout wanting gold??
- Why does the tag division not exist if the Bucks aren’t directly involved??

[SneakMan]

None of those are plot holes. They’re just things you don’t like.

Shaq mysteriously vanishing from the back of an ambulance after his one match, and that never being followed up on again, is a plot hole.

And here I thought there was a tag division over the past year but that was just a figment of my imagination.

Because it's one of the few wrestling tropes Tony Khan tries to avoid.


- Why as last years champ, was Adam Cole not in the Owen tourney to I dunno… DEFEND HIS TITLE??

What would you rather do, go through another grueling tournament that you already won, or go on fun dates with MJF?


- Why does Jade Cargill seem to have ZERO interest in taking down Toni Storm, though she pops off bout wanting gold??

Because she's THAT BITCH. I assume that's the answer for anything that she does or does not do.

The Acclaimed being the most over act at one point AND tag champs would like to have a talk.
FTR Bald would as well, but we don't listen to him.

You know you hate a wrestling company when "Plot Holes" are just "Things I personally hate within the company"

This was not a thread made in good faith at all, feels like you're taking a lot of stuff AEW does personally.

Alexa, show me a thread made by someone in which AEW lives rent free in their head.

And all have clear explanations

AEW doesn't have rematch clauses so wrestlers have to work back to their title shots and prove they deserve another chance, it's just a different booking style to other companies

Adam Cole has been in a world title and now a tag title program, so he wasn't in The Owen. The Owen is not "A title to be defended" it's literally a King of the Ring

Jade was having a historic reign with the TBS and was focused on that, she lost it and is now taking a break off screen. She had her own title and own legacy to build, that's not "Not being interested" in the world title, that's trying to show the other title is worth a damn and she was focusing on that, like any other promotion with multiple belts you're trying to make look good

The tag division was run by the Young Bucks for like a year and a half, they've won the belts multiple times, they have been doing tag matches but they've been in other feuds since outside of the tag team division. People wanted other teams to get a focus when they were running roughshod on the division for a time there and they have. They'll likely go back to tag team work in the future, and has existed and done plenty of good work without them in it, and I think it's crazy to say it hasn't a week removed from FTR vs Juice and White too.

What about how Chompy the Shark is seeking revenge on Brody King for his father killing him? First of all, sharks aren't driven by revenge. Second of all, Chompy is dead.

[Bo Rida]

It's heavily implied that CM Punk is carrying around the title he never lost in a bag but he was stripped of that title and we've seen that belt in the possession of two other people since so he can't have it.
Tbf It might not be a plot hole if it's eventually revealed to be something else or that MJF gave him the original for some dumb reason but at the moment I'm counting it.

Hopefully Ricky will tell us now he seems to be turning heel, maybe the stupidity is what motivated him actions.

By Chompy the Shark do you mean Ace Steel?

No, I mean Chompy the Shark. Here he is trying to eat Aubrey Edwards.

MJF and Sammy openly conspired to fix the outcome to a match with no repercussions. They should have been suspended immediately and probably banned for many years.

That was in front of the cameras! Just imagine what shady deals are going on away from them. We might actually be watching a pro wrestling show where the winners of matches are decided before the bell rings. Unthinkable.

Everyone's forgotten that Adam Cole turned on the Bucks last year. Bucks don't care. Cole's forgot

The Acclaimed's rise to be one of Dynamite's main acts for a period and bring the tag titles to the forefront even came during the period the Bucks were suspended. It's such a weird claim. Shit, Dynamite this week had the other big focus point to Blood & Guts be the tag team tournament. I'm so confused.

No they haven't, they just haven't been in each others orbit since then, which is what happens. They don't need a reason to reconcile or fight right now, AEW doesn't really forget these things, they simmer until it's time to revisit.

Didn't Finn Balor, when he came back from the injury that cost him the Universal Title, come back and almost immediately team with Seth Rollins, who injured him? "Plot holes" happen. I could've sworn that the lack of a "rematch clause" was mentioned at some point on camera, but maybe I'm dreaming that up.

[Mike Strike]

I guess things like why Shawn Spears is no longer a lackey of MJF or Colt Cabana's disappearance from the DO.

[chazraps]

I think we can all agree on is that AEW's objectively biggest plothole is that every Dynamite doesn't start with someone saying what a great guy I am.

[Dub H]

If you wanna blame everyone for the tag scene taking a backseat, blame FTR and punk.

an actual plot hole is why every female face with estabilished aliances keep going solo

[KingPooper]

I've been doing some thinking, and I got some ideas to improve the show.

I got it right here.

One: Dalton Castle needs to be louder, angrier and have access to a time machine.

Two: Whenever Dalton Castle's not on screen, all the other wrestlers should be asking, "Where's Dalton Castle?"
