It was at this moment that Jay White realized he had to go to WWE.
"The door was forbidden for a reason", he thought.

Basic storytelling going over the heads of E-drones. The thought of receiving a devastating Rainmaker from Kazuchika Okada was so emotionally draining that he couldn't even kick out. That's how powerful the Rainmaker is, and Jay White capitalized on the opportunity.

The finish was supposed to be
>Cole takes the Rainmaker
>Jay hits the bladerunner on Okada
>pins cole
However cole collapsed before the rainmaker could be hit, so rather than ad lib a finish, Jay just ended the match right there and pinned him like planned

The old-timers always accuse the AEW guys of being completely incapable of ad-libbing, but it's absolutely fucking true. NJPW might be no-sell headdrop autism bullshit, but at least Okada seems like he belongs in the ring.
What causes men to be like feminine and panicky like White and Cole? It's low-T from microplastics, right?

That match was disappointing. In addition to this part there was another spot where Okada dived on top of the barricade and Jay or Cole caught him in a kinda shitty way. There were some awkward moments there.

Wrestling more is worse for the body. A lot of AEW guys still wrestle the indies on the weekends. WWE has a softer style that is easier on the body in the short term, but any amount of wrestling is bad for the body.

That's Cole collapsing. My best guess is he basically didn't report a previous concussion, thinking he could handle a 4 way, and shit got bad. He tried to get out of the way, so they could do whatever the finish was, but Jay told him no and forcefully pinned him. You can see that Jay wrenches the leg and pushes his own shoulder right down as Cole is trying to kick out.

All the results were very predictable, though, other than which of the 3 AEW guys won the fatal four way and the womeme match.

Even disregarding the foreigner factor, Tanahashi hasn't been in a position to be a IWGP champion in nearly a decade. His win against Omega was just cause they weren't expecting Omega to actually leave and he lost the belt immediately after.

Anyone blaming any individual thing for AEW slumping and only recovering towards the end didn't pay attention to 2022. In 2022 fucking everything was going wrong.

>Fenix broke his arm
>Cody left
>Orange Cassidy got his arm fucked
>Darius got into a motor accident
>Jeff got DUI'd
>Punk got hurt
>MJF "walked out"
>Danielson got hurt
>Kyle got hurt
>Adam Cole (baybay) got hurt
>Christian got hurt
>Punk got hurt, and shot on the company
>Elite got suspended
>Rosa got hurt (or "hurt")
>Christian got hurt again
>Malakai and Buddy took time off
>Andrade tried to get fired

Add the disaster known as Ring of Honor, and it's no fucking mystery why AEW lost momentum.

All Tony had to do was make one final show where the ROH titles would have been unified with the AEW titles, then sit on the tape library until they have a streaming service. Maybe make a One Night Stand kind of show a couple of years later, but that's it ROH has zero value as an active brand, it was literally dead before he bought it and for a good reason. Trying to make it relevant is so fucking dumb that it's hard for me to even comprehend. He is shoot autistic, there is no other explanation.

Tony wanted to use AEW exposure + Jericho's name to get a deal. And he's totally a RoH mark who wants to bring it back.

Having RoH as an active promotion is probably valuable in the future, more shit to licence out, more places to develop talent that you control, etc. But I doubt WBD were interested in giving him a deal before the new AEW deal is done, if for no other reason than they can theoretically try and mix RoH into it so they only have to have one deal with Khan.

This was a situation where Jay was actually right to do what was planned. Pinning Okada could have fucked over what ever plans Gedo could have in mind and potentially sour the whole collaboration, Page was far away from the Ring, and Cole was in no shape to take anymore bumps
Forcing Cole down and pinning him against his will(cole actially tried to kick out lmao) was the best way to finish up the match without any dead time

I think there was a big Hangman spot in the finish, Cole was clearly rolling himself out of the way which suggests he was trying to get out of the way to let the plan go on but Jay wasn't having it. A lot of performers will literally throw away their own safety for "the show must go on" and need to be forced to stop.
