Despite the appealing card on paper, I didn\u2019t watch AEW Dynasty. \u00a0Frankly, I don\u2019t know how I\u2019d watch it, or any true pay-per-view event anymore.\u00a0 I don\u2019t have cable, so it\u2019s not like I can call an automated system and pay over the phone.\u00a0 I typically refuse to download anymore apps, especially to watch a singular event, and frankly, the WWE has conditioned me over the last few years of just how convenient it is to have a singular service where I can get these events included, and it\u2019s about as easy as it is to tune into something on Netflix or Disney+.<\/span><\/p>\n

All the same, I was intrigued by the card, to where I took the effort to seek out results, on the same night in which it happened. \u00a0Most everything happened close to how I\u2019d have predicted it, showing that my decades of watching professional wrestling has gotten to where I barely need to watch the product to know what\u2019s going to happen anyway.\u00a0 Okada over PAC, the Bucks over FTR, Ospreay over Danielson, and I figured Swerve was finally going to dethrone Samoa Joe, because you just can\u2019t keep feeding a champion the same guy three times in a row and expect the result to just continue to be the same.<\/span><\/p>\n

But amidst the results was one thing that caught my eye: Chris Jericho defeats Hook to become the new FTW champion.<\/span><\/p>\n

So the question I have is, does Chris Jericho winning a Popeyes title<\/a> (unsanctioned) count towards his world title count?\u00a0 After all, it does say \u201cWorld Champion\u201d on it and frankly, even in the ocean of championships that AEW has floating in its pool, between Hook, Jack Perry and Brian Cage, the holder of this Mickey Mouse blet has done some good work.<\/span><\/p>\n

That being said, that would make Chris Jericho no longer the Ocho, but the Nueve; I doubt such will happen, but it is still funny to hypothesize the silly wrestling logic.<\/span><\/p>\n

But even funnier will be the fact that despite it not being a sanctioned championship that \u201ccounts\u201d in the AEW canon, I think it\u2019s a safe bet that Chris Jericho is still going to elevate it to the point where it\u2019s going to get some substantial television time and attention over a number of the men\u2019s championships the promotion has in circulation:<\/span><\/p>\n
