Throw in Adam Copeland (who I hope is named, like, Boundary or something) and it makes that match better.

I just want compelling options. People to make me feel cool that it's taking away singles matches with the same guys I want more.

Feel confident in saying Hero is a spot.

Chris Hero is one of the least interesting guys to me. I always hated his schtick on the indies especially before he dropped the shirt and pants. He seems like an interesting guy IRL (I can't shit too hard on a registered member!) but I don't see any value in old and even-more out of shape Hero taking up a major spot on a show. Give it to Umino or another NJPW guy.

Umino is Mox's son so he deserves it on that alone.

I don't want Hero in the slightest. I found him overrated even when he was at his peak, and his work in the last ten or so years has been nothing special whatsoever. But he makes perfect sense and already works there, while also no doubt being a bigger star to TK than most people. Personally I want at least one NJPW dad, specifically Nagata.

Possible spoiler per Fightful Select

Ortiz was just pulled from a Limitless show here in Maine next weekend due to obligations with AEW. Speculation is that him and Santana will reunite to be a part of the Stadium Stampede match.
I follow Santana and Ortiz on Instagram. Notably in recent weeks, Ortiz has been posting stories with photos and clips of when those two were teaming, while a lot of Santana’s posts has been vague stuff about going alone.

I could see Ortiz’s posts being interpreted as hints of them returning together to help BCC at All In, but given the tone of Santana’s stuff, it’s entirely possible that they still aren’t on the same page and Ortiz is trying to make a peace offering.

Either way, I do hope they work out whatever issues they were having and make a comeback together at some point. They’re a good tag team that probably should have had a title reign by now, and AEW’s tag division could use the boost.

Fenix is hurt once again and will miss All In.

Edit: Appears it’s actually an visa issue and not an injury. My apologies to those offended by the assumption of a Fenix injury.

It might be easier to just cut one of the mystery men and make it 5 on 5.

that's really not that many people missing given how many wrestlers are always out hurt or have to miss international shows. AEW has a gigantic roster without even tapping into all the other companies they work with. I really don't see them having a big issue here.

They can plug in anyone from Gravity, Kommander, Vikingo and a half dozen others and you won’t miss Fenix at all.

The way AEW operates they can plug in god damn Dustin Rhodes and the fan base is forgiving and patient enough they’ll accept it.

If only Chucklefuck had visa issues and couldn’t work anywhere.

When the strike is over everyone is going to be back to being best pals and acting like nothing ever happened. AEW/TK needs to suck up to him because wrestling lives and dies by their tv deals. It isn't a great look but what do you expect from someone as oblivious as tk really.

He better not be a mystery partner.

You mean to tell me there’s somehow been issues with Visas and the only option to be a replacement mystery wrestler is the guy who works in the office that handles travel?

Nah, couldn’t be.

That's so much worse than it already was.
