“And yet, when I sit back and look at the grand picture, I’m going to war with these dudes that, if we were on the same show together, the same promotion…let’s pretend there were no borders. Let’s pretend there were no promotions. Let’s just pretend there’s just one big promotion. If these guys were in the same show as me, they’d be in the dark match. They’d be in the opening match of my main event match.”
Gonna be really embarrassing for them if that developmental brand full of guys who’d work dark matches on a card he’s on does better ratings and shows.
Yeah there are plenty of guys in NXT that could main event literally anywhere, including AEW.To me...
Johnny Gargano >>>>> Kenny Omega
Velveteen Dream >>>>> Kenny Omega
Tomasso Ciampa >>>>> Kenny Omega
Adam Cole >>>>> Kenny Omega
WALTER (who I don't even like that much) >>>> Kenny Omega
So Kenny Omega can shut up. None of these guys would be in a dark match on a card Omega main events... unless Omega is booking the card.
I would pay to see any of these guys in a main event before I paid to see Omega. Omega in AEW has been very boring.
Okada is the only current wrestler better than Omega.
i love all the names mentionned and i love nxt, but completely disagree.

I think Okada and AJ are better than Kenny but that’s it. Gargano is one of the most consistent 5* match guys though and to say guys like Johnny, Ciampa, Dream, Cole, etc would be pre-show guys is stupid. He’s going to look dumb when they’re beating out AEW.Okada is the only current wrestler better than Omega.

AEW has had three shows, most of which did more to quell the hype more so than add to it for TV while NXT has been consistently great for four years and NXT is overrated?Nxt is great but it’s getting dangerously close to overrated on these boards due to the hardcore ******* going on about it.
They do keep saying that if Cody loses to Samme Guevara, then he loses his title shot. But bottom line is that they had to announce a main event to sell tickets for the Baltimore PPVWhat I don't get is how is Cody the number 1 contender?
He beat 50 year old retired Golddust. Then he drew Darby Allin, a guy with 0 wins in AEW that is a virtual unknown. Not a good look that he can't even beat that guy.
His biggest win is against Tye, who also has no wins and was basically a jobber in WWE, his highlight was 4 years ago in NXT where he was basically midcard.
I get that its early but how is that impressive enough to become number 1 contender when W/L matter. And then Sammy would be number 1 if he beats Cody. That actually makes sense because at least Cody is bigger name than Tye and retired Gold Dust.
