Apparently there was an AEW pay-per-view today, Full Gear<\/em>.\u00a0 I\u2019m not writing as such to throw shade, frankly I lose track of when WWE or anyone else has shows either, and I\u2019m extra salty that I missed a GCW that was at my favorite venue to watching wrestling in Atlanta, so I\u2019m not trying to deliberately sound dismissive of AEW like I sometimes do.<\/span><\/p>\n Upon reading a summary of the event, there\u2019s plenty that definitely warrants the title of his post series, because I really often am curious just WTF AEW is actually doing sometimes with their booking and storytelling.<\/span><\/p>\n Frankly, MJF as this babyface seems lame, and the guy is way better at being a heel rather than this babyface scumbag, and the entire promotion seemingly has no idea what to do with all these hotshots they\u2019re bringing in like Jay White.\u00a0 Will Ospreay joining AEW seemed like an obvious outcome, seeing as how he still feels like there\u2019s art to make, before he inevitably goes to the WWE to make the big bucks.<\/span><\/p>\n But not to completely shit everything AEW does, I have to say that I\u2019m a big fan of what they\u2019re doing with Timeless Toni Storm, and I love the transformation she\u2019s done into the black and white retro starlet, and her character work has been outstanding, and she\u2019s easily among the most entertaining performers they have from the second the camera starts rolling on her to when she leaves the screen.\u00a0 Glad that they\u2019ve put the Women\u2019s championship back on her, and in her current character iteration, I\u2019m optimistic that this reign might actually stick for a little bit.<\/span><\/p>\n However, there was a specific match that served as the impetus to this post, and in fact within this match, there was a specific spot, that really got the gears grinding, and wondering not just WTF is AEW doing, so much as it\u2019s WTF Hangman Adam Page?<\/span><\/p>\n During his Texas Death Match with Swerve Strickland, both dudes are bloodied up, as AEW loves to have everyone bleed as if they\u2019re trying to transmit transmissible diseases on purpose, but at one point, Hangman Adam Page drinks the blood<\/em> of Swerve<\/a>.\u00a0 He spits it out like Triple H spits out water, but the point remains, he forces the blood of another human being into his mouth, lets it swish around, and even though he spits it out, it\u2019s still very much in his digestive system and eventual blood stream.\u00a0 Even if both men are healthy and clean, there\u2019s a tremendous number of red flags that go up upon simply describing the act of allowing another human being\u2019s blood into your own mouth, on purpose no less.<\/span><\/p>\n Generally, I\u2019m cool with Hangman Adam Page, because I think he\u2019s a really good worker, seemingly chill and cool guy based on his conduct on social media and the persona he projects, but not going to lie, this spot does pock my opinion of him a little bit, and thinking there\u2019s some screws loose and maybe he himself has taken one too many chair shots<\/a> in his career.<\/span><\/p>\n In this day and age, performers are most definitely allowed to veto a spot when walking through the general summaries of what should happen in a match.\u00a0 Sure, it\u2019s easy to say that Tony Khan suggested it, but Hangman has enough clout and equity in the company to where he probably would be fine if he said \u201cyou know, I\u2019m not comfortable drinking another man\u2019s blood<\/em>,\u201d and TK would probably acquiesce.\u00a0 But this spot still happening means that there\u2019s a part of Hangman that is dumb enough to think this would be a good spot, and I\u2019m a little bit disturbed by his agreeance to do it.<\/span><\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t make him look strong in defeat, it doesn\u2019t make him any more respectable than he already was, all it really does for me is think he\u2019s not as intelligent as I thought he might be seeing as how he was a teacher prior to wrestling.\u00a0 It\u2019s gross, its unsafe, and no knock on Swerve, but if they weren\u2019t careful, whatever Swerve has, Hangman now has, for deliberately taking another person\u2019s blood into their mouth for the sake of entertaining a bunch of fickle wrestling fans.<\/span><\/p>\n AEW has done some bonkers shit in their short time span, ironically both spots coming in separate Omega vs. Moxley deathmatches; when Omega forced Moxley to injest \u201cglass\u201d and the hilarious \u201cexploding\u201d ring after their second death match, but I\u2019m going to have to go out a limb and say that I think Hangman Adam Page drinking Swerve Strickland\u2019s blood is going to have to take the title for the dumbest spot in the company\u2019s history now.<\/span><\/p>\n Maybe AEW should make a blet for that too.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Apparently there was an AEW pay-per-view today, Full Gear.\u00a0 I\u2019m not writing as such to throw shade, frankly I lose track of when WWE or anyone else has shows either, and I\u2019m extra salty that I missed a GCW that was at my favorite venue to watching wrestling in Atlanta, so I\u2019m not trying to … Continue reading WTF is AEW doing #256<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[151,100,83,69,54,49],"class_list":["post-49675","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-blets","tag-comparison","tag-observations","tag-television","tag-wrestling","tag-wtf"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49675","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=49675"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49675\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":49677,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49675\/revisions\/49677"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=49675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=49675"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=49675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
