lil homie needs to win. Sammy is too unprofessional to be champ, Jericho doesn’t need it, Moxley again after he just had it is boring, and Bryan is a rape victim. Give it to the skateboard homie
Its an easy as frick storyline; Darby wins and MJF cashes in his chip and beats him the next show; or; Darby comes close against Bryan who wins drops it to MJF and Darby starts a storyline to get to the top at All Out
Either way this tournament needs to set up the story of Darby chasing MJF to the next All Out
Darby will lose to Sammy, who probably gets squashed to Mox. Danielson wins the tourney and potentially wins against a cash in MJF the first time, ultimately losing to him the next go around. Darby being the one to take down MJF while defeating Sammy along the way would be a nice way to make up for all of it.
Your story could work, but they need to put spotlight on him, instead of wasting him in 6man tag shuffles.
>Darby will lose to Sammy,
I stopped reading
Anyone supporting the continued jobbing of Darby to anyone other than MJF needs to be flogged
it's not a matter of supporting it, it happened. I don't want him to keep losing but he already did Wednesday night. Hopefully this tourney will be the turning point for all of that.
>Either way this tournament needs to set up the story of Darby chasing MJF to the next All Out
How do you write this?
#1 They've feuded like twice already
#2 They have virtually zero reason to be beefing anyway and have no organic chemistry with each other besides being among the best characters in the company
#3 Darby's character is a heat repellant, he has no reason to give a shit about the title or who's standing in front of it
You'd have to have MJF explicitly acknowledge that Darby is the only other non-shitter in the company and on his level, and that he needs to be taken down to prove the point that he's the topdog
>no chemistry
How so? Their promos against each other were a bit lackluster but that’s mostly darbys fault since he was never a good promo. Their match at full gear last year was the best of that night.
> You'd have to have MJF explicitly acknowledge that Darby is the only other non-shitter in the company and on his level, and that he needs to be taken down to prove the point that he's the topdog
They basically did that when they first canonized the four pillars shit, which can be spun pretty well since mjf is still the only one of the four who hasn’t been champion yet
>How so?
Their characters have no overlap. Let's look at actual rivalries.
>Eddie Guerrero vs JBL
smug conservative rich white man vs lovable rogue beaner
>Randy Savage vs Hulk Hogan
larger than life over the top eccentric egos battling for the top of the company
>Randy Orton vs John Cena
The ruthless man destroying the pillars and foundations of the company vs the determined one holding it all upon his shoulders
>Shawn Michaels vs Bret Hart
the sleazy pretty boy wienery prick vs the cool reserved straight-man
Now, where do you see any organic chemistry here?
Do they play off each other well enough? Yes. But objectively speaking, this is a rivalry/feud of convenience due to lack of anyone else to use. It is far from ideal and uncompelling as a story in and of itself.
>The thrill seeker able to risk life and limb, uninterested in material things or reputation, living purely for the moment
Vs
>the mastermind, never willing to put himself in unnecessary danger, wealth-obsessed and angry at any perceived lack of respect
I think there’s something there it’s just that the aspects of their characters that are most diametrically opposed aren’t brought to the fore as much.
valid, but what are they fighting for/over is the root question and issue
Wrestlers can have characyer development, play off the real life heat and make Darby a saviour of AEW, someone whos willing to kill himself for the company, make MJF say hes a sawdust shitter and not a real wrestler who will never be a main eventer and should go back to hot topic
It all ends with Darby winning it his way and coronating a new face of the company
I'd be satisfied, if nothing better was devised
but Darby has to come out and champion the company and make a case for why MJF would be bad as the face of it---like call him a self-obsessed money prostitute who'll put the company in its grave for his own payday
That's too WWE style booking for Tony. It would devalue the world title. Would rather see Darby going far into the tournament, pulls an upset over Mox, and being built over the year before winning the title from mjf.
>That's too WWE style booking for Tony
It's been done in countless promotions. Heel fricks over baby face and baby face chases heel for the belt, coming close until he finally gets it. It's tried and true.
>It would devalue the world title
Anon, the belt changing hands twice in a week and then stripping the belt from the champ has devalued it beyond measure.
You are absolutely delusional
look anon, you're alright. don't watch rampage tonight
🙁
Based lil homie. Put the strap on him and let him do cross promotional shit to push the brand.
>let him do cross promotional shit to push the brand
That would be a genius business idea, but Darby belongs to a dead culture
The mainstream is now Black person worship; this breed of punk and goth is extinct or extremely endangered
I still don't know how he wasn't included in the latest THPS game.
because he's not being promoted enough
But they even had Tony Hawk doing videos with Darby and everything.
>tfw you need your full costume to rock n roll
Kenny said it would delude the AEW brand, but he was really just jealous that someone else was going to be in a videogame.
*dilute
what a fricking b***h self-mark
>one of our guys appearing in one of the most popular video games of all time is diluting the brand
what the frick, it's like they're admitting to being outlaw shitters
Apart from the first 2-3 months they were together, Sting has been holding lil' homie back
this
the goal should have been elevating Darby but instead it's carrying Sting at the expense of Darby
Sting needs to be relegated to manager at most
They booked Sammy to win on Rampage. Yea TK is that stupid.
Tony will not do it because he's terrified that Darby will kill himself doing stunts OUTSIDE of the ring. Khan views him as a liability. That's the only logical reason at this point.
Thats funny , Im thinking of the other way around : Darby doesnt want to be champ to keep doing his stunt stuff .
none of this makes any sense, the entire reason Darby is over is because he's a reckless daredevil may care who's seemingly invincible
who the frick in their right mind wouldn't want that as champ? a bunch of moronic homosexuals, prolly
not only this, but the sharks on twitter are just waiting for him to become champ so they can cancel him, since they failed last time
cancel him for what?
please tell me he's a racist chad
He gave some literal who ex gf mental pure strikes
Real answer is some b***h basically said he was a shit boyfriend
Don't comprehend your first sentence but I could see him being neglectful
Personally I hope he swims in pussy
It was a joke from when it first happened. Supposedly he said something about breaking up with her because she didn’t put out and that’s enough for someone to lose their job
One of his ex girlfriends tried to cry rape because she tried to pull the withholding sex card and he said
>frick me or I'm breaking up with you
>Khan views him as a liability
doubt
>That's the only logical reason at this point
Tiny isn't logical
he jobbed to sammy
thankfully it wasn't clean.
JewTube marks want Danielson to get the belt
only anti-smark chads are saying it's Darbin' time
and unfortunately, we're 5% of the pop at best
hope Tiny gets a clue
Doesn't have the size for main eventer
his size is irrelevant, he's like slim Chris Benoit crossed with stable Jeff Hardy with colder blood to make up for less muscle
his style and intangibles other than size are what's impressive. He could have a solid, but not reasonably long run and it'd set him up for life in terms of accomplishments and legacy in the company. His TNT build up and run was easily one of the best the company has had.
He's average height at 5'8", people calling him too small are really only saying he's too lean, which is half fair half ignoring that he's playing a walking skeleton in the first place
But yes, Darby would be indisputably a main eventer with some more muscle mass
Catch-22. Gain mass and be a main eventer, but you lose speed and increase chances those bumps will kill you.
I'm not saying he needs to roid and be a Wolverine
I'm envisioning more like actively bulking and cutting more to get shredded natty
He just needs to eat more and hit the gym harder
Having a more physically fit body makes you less injury prone; besides it's probably his bones being strong that gives him such superhuman invulnerability
No way he's average height. He look tiny, at AEW where most of the wrestler are at average height.
5'8 is tall enough to fake 6 foot tall in wrestling boots. AJ Styles & Kurt Angle did it all the time. Most people still have no idea that Angle was never 6'2, or even 6 feet for that matter.
This is the truth and nobody here will admit that if they make him champ then everyone will suddenly turn on him and start b***hing like a bunch of size queens. Fans do not know what they want, they'll cheer for him one day and turn on him the next.
FICKLE. SMARKS
This. People complain about Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio getting short world title runs, but the truth is that long title runs would actually hurt them because it doesn't mesh with their gimmick. But with a short run the crowd pops cause the fan favorite is finally getting his just rewards. Give Darby a 2-3 month title run, long enough to have decent feud and the crowd to pop but short enough for it to not hurt Darby.
nobody should have "long" title runs, just long enough to get permanently over and see a storyline through
THANK YOU
Long title runs should be reserved for characters who are portrayed as physicially dominant, anyone else is a gay killing the show
I've noticed that a lot of babyface title runs are either short or disappointing. Kenny Omega's chase to the title in New Japan was really good, but his run as champ wasn't. NXT's babyface champs were almost always transitional champions. With a guy like Darby, the chase to the title is what's going to get the fans behind him. They shouldn't put the strap on him and hope for the best. There should be a build, an important big moment, and a brief time as champ. It would hurt him otherwise.
He's too smol. Nothing wrong with giving him more than he's gotten in the last year though. Could be good underdog champ filler but shouldn't be the guy. Nobody cares about his Sting shit anymore. Needs to win more. If Aleister is gone they should just join him up with the former House of Black.
>give him the belt
>first week in he jumps off something stupid and breaks his miraculous streak of not crippling himself
Biggest AEW draws:
Jericho
Sting
CM Punk
Darby
In that other
I call bullshit.
Why would he be the guy he is barely over anymore
>he is barely over anymore
In what world?
Here, he remains one of the most over guys in the company
If anything, he's fallen into underrated territory, just waiting for his push to be resuscitated
He's only been cooled by being perpetually paired with Sting and getting jobbed out; but the minute he gets his push, he'll be back in the topcard
Huge Darby fan, but Danielson has to win the tournament. With how mistreated Punk has been they need reestablish this is a safe space for WWE superstars who want to make the jump and reassure the fans that AEW is still the place to see your favorite WWE superstars unleashed.
homie they gave Punk the title twice. And he injured himself both times before he could actually defend the title. The dude was given everything he wants despite not helping build AEW, and that piece of shit still acts entitled. Frick cuck Man Phil
he already said he doesn't want to be a champ
Had Darby done anything wrong at all since AEW started?
Why is he getting treated this way?
swap Darby for MJF for a minute
realize that the company is just run by morons who don't understand nor care who their real talents are
He was the longest reigning TNT champ at 186 days
being intercontinental champion means barely more than anything, and is best used as a stepping stone to more than just a glass celing for midcarders
He's 5'4"
he's 5'8"
average height
That's Darb's billed height. Daniel Bryan is 5'8 and is billed at 5'10.
cool
darbros
I bet Tony is worried he’s gonna get fricked up doing some stunt and that’s why he isn’t pushing him as much as he should be
>5'4 120
"guy"
Darby is actually popular and talented so he is not allowed to win. Same with the rest of the guys who get over
>5’6” 120 pound soaking wet twink wearing jean shorts over leggings
>the guy
I don’t even mind Darby but come on be realistic about his ceiling
and guess what
at least we get the hot alt b***hes Darbychads
>Thanks for the rub Mr. Punk
>picrel
a nice little metaphor for America
Sorry but seems the push among online commentators and podcastors is to praise fat sloppy frick Moxley and give him everything because beating Punk in 3min was not enough since now he had to give up his vacation time. Clearly he deserves the title more than anyone else, right?
it's the marks hordes who have Dean Ambrose mania
every Moxley fan sounds like they have no original thought in their brains or distinct taste; they all just latch onto the fotm WWE castoff
this dude jumped a house driving a car
he's an idiot and a liability
Yea that's why you put the belt on him before he accidentally kills himself. Will help with the definitive DVD sales.
>Will help with the definitive DVD sales.
this
and pulled it off perfectly
ya seethe worked b***h
YOU
CANT
BE
THE
TOP
GUY
IF
YOU
CANT
CUT
A
PROMO
That goes for you WardlowBlack folk too
not a single person who has held the belt so far deserved it then by this logic
Name three good talkers
where and when?
Way too early to crown lil homie.
it's been 3 years moron
isn't he shooting a reality show? he's probably waiting for that to air before he gets a significant push
I had a normie gf, she didn't know f all about wrestling, never entertained it, so one nigh we watched a Darby Allin vs. Moxley match main event, instantaneously she became a fan, mark of wrestling, based on Darby's performance alone.
What I'm saying is Darby has that crossover star power... but AEW like most potentials... botches it, over n over again. Sad.
