![]() ![]() And it works well, because Copeland is naturally going to be a massive babyface in AEW, whereas Christian has been a heartless monster for more than a year now. Right there, you've immediately set up the expectation that Copeland is here to stop Christian from doing bad things, which is maybe a little simplistic but basically what you'd expect from this kind of storyline. ![]() Christian tried to do an evil thing Copeland stopped him. You can go lots of places from there, but you have established one thing: Copeland stands in opposition to Christian. So at WrestleDream, Copeland came out to oppose Christian and prevent him from hitting Sting with a chair while Christian looked like he'd seen a ghost. As usual with AEW, my problem isn't with the performances, but with the writing. Copeland has legit acting chops, which most wrestlers don't, and Christian was doing some amazing stuff here with his facial expressions alone. One thing I want to emphasize: The segment with Edge and Christian (gonna be REALLY hard not calling them that) was incredibly well-performed. Well, we've had Edge's first "Dynamite" appearance now, and it gives me no pleasure to say that we're 0-1. went to totally compromise Omega, taping his hands to the top rope, none of them could figure out how to wrap the roll around successfully, with Omega accidentally breaking out of it with one hand at one point then having to pretend that didn't happen, then the heels leaving not addressing the situation for a time, then leaving the roll hanging off one of his wrists before starting to try to tape him up all over again and OH MY GOD THIS SEGMENT WAS ALREADY WAY TOO LONG. And sure, I suppose it could be used to restrain an opponent in the wild world of professional wrestling.īut here's the thing about duct tape: It's not hard to apply, almost ever. It is an invaluable asset for all things adulting. ![]() Duct tape and I have helped each other through all of these tough spots over the years. ![]() Golf shoe lose a sole in the middle of a round? Yes, duct tape. Run out of other adhesives during Christmas decorating season? Duct tape. Until you learn how to repair a certain something, duct tape. Duct tape has save me in many situations for many years. None of what I'm about to say is duct tape's fault. Take advantage of a star-in-the-making situation while you have it who knows? Maybe you'll hang onto this one.Ģ. You've seen (and you're about to see) how that story ends with Cargill, and it'll happen again with Wardlow if you let it. You had gold here for a while and you let it turn into mush. I'll call this one a win, for now, but for the love of whatever people love nowadays, if you've got this guy signed for a good while, Tony, let him be his badass self and give him an uninterrupted run that ends up actually meaning something. (I see him instantly smashing a protein shake, catching a shower, hitting the closest steakhouse and crushing a tomahawk before banging out a late night workout at the hotel and catching some shut-eye, all in the name of waking up tomorrow for more badassery.) But forget all that, because he's back! He's back, and he's getting a squash match showcase against Griff Garrison! He's back and he's hitting the Powerbomb Symphony five times on Garrison before quickly and confidently waltzing his way out through the crowd and presumably off to go do Wardlow s***. ![]()
