I NEEED Joe in the Classic so baaaaaad

jayviationgames.bsky.social•199 days ago

Um. Addendum-- Daniel Garcia needs to redeem himself

chop7times.bsky.social•199 days ago

Beast Mortos

gareth-eno.bsky.social•199 days ago

A few changes, but love your list also!

GOLD LEAGUE 🟡
Konosuke Takeshita
Hangman Page
Shelton Benjamin
Brody King
Kenny Omega
Anthony Bowens

BLUE LEAGUE 🔵
Kazuhiro Okada
Will Ospreay
Kyle Fletcher
Roderick Strong
Kyle O’Reilly
Lio Rush

wrestlingmark.bsky.social•199 days ago

I thought Kenny, but thought maybe too ambitious!

gareth-eno.bsky.social•199 days ago

I heard a rumour that the plan is Kenny/Okada final 👀

And obviously that is now that’s my dream 🤣🤣

runtheblade4.bsky.social•199 days ago

Fuck that, we need weekly Claudio bangers.

aewfan1234.bsky.social•199 days ago

I'd prefer Lashley for Takeshita.

wrestlingmark.bsky.social•199 days ago

I think Takeshita is winning the thing

aewfan1234.bsky.social•199 days ago

Two titles? Has that been done in AEW before? Or you think Ricochet gets the International from him before that?

wrestlingmark.bsky.social•199 days ago

Possibly… or they could unite the titles, as there’s one too many male singles titles as it is IMO

iezephyr.bsky.social•199 days ago

Incredibly tough

Gold
Ospreay
Okada
Shelton
Nick Wayne
Roddy
Copeland

Blue
Adam Cole
Kyle O Reilly
Anthony Bowens
Hobbs
Ricochet
Christian Cage

I’d run an Okada/Ospreay draw to put Ospreay into a final with Ricochet. Okada/Ospreay then running Jan5th

wrestlingmark.bsky.social•199 days ago

Strong

theverylargek.bsky.social•199 days ago

Bobby Lashley maybe?

wrestlingmark.bsky.social•199 days ago

Why the devil not

yungvincey.bsky.social•199 days ago

Low key want Nick Wayne to get a jobber run. He's coming along!

yungvincey.bsky.social•199 days ago

Big Gram and Ricochet at some point moves me ngl

shonenwrestling.bsky.social•199 days ago

GOLD LEAGUE
Takeshita
Shelton
Hologram
Jack Perry
Bowens
Ospreay

BLUE LEAGUE
Okada
Roderick Strong
Hobbs
Kyle O Reilly
Bandido
Kyle Fletcher

sammcpaddy.bsky.social•199 days ago

I've no real preference for grouping bar keeping Okada and Takeshita on separate sides.

But Soup, Shelton and Roddy are my essentials for the tournament and almost a guarantee of high quality matches.

crocredacted.bsky.social•199 days ago

Gold League:
Konosuke Takeshita
AR Fox
Powerhouse Hobbs
Juice Robinson
Kyle Fletcher
Shelton Benjamin

Blue League:
Ricochet
Shane Taylor
Roderick Strong
Kyle O'Reilly
The Beast Mortos
Will Ospreay

crocredacted.bsky.social•199 days ago

Oh, totally forgot that Okada would need to be in the tournament as he is still the continental champ. I might sub him in for Ospreay to save that match for a bigger occasion than just a random dynamite.

vulgargoblin.bsky.social•199 days ago

GOLD LEAGUE

Takeshita
Wheeler Yuta
Shelton Benjamin
Pac
Will Hobbs
Roderick Strong

BLUE LEAGUE

Big Bill
Darby Allin
Kyle Fletcher
Ricochet
Samoa Joe
Will Ospreay

riawesome33.bsky.social•199 days ago

Personally I would like Mortos and Hologram both in it. Mortos could be cool in the Brody King position

kakesugraps.bsky.social•199 days ago

This is pretty strong honeslty but I'd want Hobbs in here somewhere for sure

jaredsearcy.bsky.social•199 days ago

Takeshita
Hangman
Buddy
Nick Wayne
John Silver
Okada

Ospreay
Fletcher
Malakai
Brody
Switchblade
Kyle O’Reilly

You got some young guys, you got some OG guys that need more attention, you will get some first time matches that I’d like to see done before any of them leave.

wrestlingmark.bsky.social•199 days ago

2 people from last year 😜

jaredsearcy.bsky.social•199 days ago

I just don’t think that would happen haha

chitownenuff.bsky.social•199 days ago

Ospreay
Fletcher
Shelton Benjamin
Shibata
Lance Archer
Malakai Black

Takeshita
Ricochet
Hangman
Okada
Roderick Strong
Darby Allin

raidthearcade42.bsky.social•199 days ago

This lineup is solid! That Blue League would produce so many insane matches, I almost want it to be the real lineup lol

wrestlingmark.bsky.social•199 days ago

Let’s force it into existence 🙌

raidthearcade42.bsky.social•199 days ago

We just gotta bully TK into making it a reality 😤

jaytrain.bsky.social•199 days ago

Absolutely Okada….BITCH

abbiehart01.bsky.social•199 days ago

I really hope they start a women’s C2. If they do it should be at another time of the year just so they can both have their time to shine.

forgotaboutdrea.bsky.social•199 days ago

I'm gonna be mad if this isn't the actual lineup. There isn't a single person in here I don't want to see in the C2.

wrestlingmark.bsky.social•199 days ago

🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

boreian.bsky.social•199 days ago

throw my boy the butcher in there, hes been putting in hella work

adequatemoose.bsky.social•199 days ago

It’s bonkers that a lineup like this could be assembled with no repeats.

wrestlechaps.bsky.social•199 days ago

Hard to improve on that to be honest. I'd be included to clip Roddy out, but someone has to lose in round one I guess.

wrestlingmark.bsky.social•199 days ago

I initially had Beast Mortos in, swapped him for Lio to balance out the Flippy shit a bit more

wrestlechaps.bsky.social•199 days ago

I'd like to put the whole thing on Lio, in all honesty. Kick off a sustained push for the lad.

wrestlingmark.bsky.social•199 days ago

Relentlessly entertaining

serfraser.bsky.social•199 days ago

That gold league though

adelas.bsky.social•199 days ago

I'd love the Hurt Business in it as a showcase! Bobby could dominate and set up his next feud after Swerve with someone taking an upset win

ohchxrlie.bsky.social•199 days ago

I do wonder if they’re going to top load it with players like Hangman, Swerve, Ospreay. I really have no idea. I think once we see whos announced after Okada we can get a vibe for the tourney. This barackrt you made looks fantastic

aarancole96.bsky.social•199 days ago

I do like them though

aarancole96.bsky.social•199 days ago

What about black and cole ?

hashtagspooky.bsky.social•199 days ago

Needs some House of Black representation.

wrestlingmark.bsky.social•199 days ago

Buddy is there!!

hashtagspooky.bsky.social•199 days ago

Correct! However please understand I’m the biggest HOB mark in the world. Julia should be on the list.

wrestlingmark.bsky.social•199 days ago

😂😂😂

seanysense.bsky.social•199 days ago

Strong picks! think I’d swap Joe out for Beast Mortos just because I don’t know if Joe has a tournament of matches in him anymore.
Maybe replace Roddy with Wheeler just so he can get more shine.

wrestlingmark.bsky.social•199 days ago

I had Mortos in originally and took him out for Lio!

Also considered Wheeler but thought it was better to leave all Death Riders out

seanysense.bsky.social•199 days ago

Lio is an amazing choice for sure. Were spoilt for choice this year- it’s like the AEW Christmas haha

manns.bsky.social•199 days ago

this is a great lineup

jcheng45.bsky.social•199 days ago

Fletcher, Malakai (if he's leaving they could use it as a send off a-la Andrade).

wrestlingmark.bsky.social•199 days ago

I think he’d struggle in these matches, it’s too many singles matches for him

jcheng45.bsky.social•199 days ago

I'd be inclined to agree but if he is leaving I'd like to see him go out with some bangers.

leprechaun6986.bsky.social•199 days ago

That's solid.

friarfanatic.bsky.social•199 days ago

How about some like Scorpio Sky making his return? Or have MJF enter to weasel away from Cole? . . 😂

wrestlingmark.bsky.social•199 days ago

Why not! But I think MJF and Cole unite as a heel team at Full Gear, I think Cole helps MJF beat Strong

friarfanatic.bsky.social•199 days ago

I’m in Florida FG weekend so I’ll will not be able to watch for almost a week. Might have to go SM silent. 😂

wrestlingmark.bsky.social•199 days ago

Ah, yeah I’d say you either take the hit and and find results out asap, or forget SM exists

friarfanatic.bsky.social•199 days ago

I’m pretty good at forgetting SM exists if the need is there. 😂👍

friarfanatic.bsky.social•199 days ago

Really?? 🤔. Interesting.

wrestlingmark.bsky.social•199 days ago

Yeah, I think so… MJF can’t go near the title scene or be involved in the Death Riders story, so them as a heel tag team can have good upper mid card legs for 4-6 months before MJF finally gets him back

djomo.bsky.social•199 days ago

GOLD LEAGUE

Konosuke Takeshita
Lee Moriarty
Hook
Wheeler Yuta
Kyle O'Reilly
Hologram

BLUE LEAGUE

Kazuchika Okada

btownfritz.bsky.social•199 days ago

It would be cool to see Kenny back for it!

dragonfc1.bsky.social•199 days ago

I want an epic climax. Okada, possibly Takeshita as winner.
#aew

cfg9000.bsky.social•199 days ago

Damn they really could have a no-repeats tournament and it would still be stacked.

dannoecabeza.bsky.social•199 days ago

Would very much like to see Buddy Matthews & Hobbs get more time.

bolbolthegoat.bsky.social•199 days ago

I would Swap Lio out for Power House Hobbs

mikegwp.bsky.social•199 days ago

That blue league is a bit of me like

tigerdriver99.bsky.social•199 days ago

Honestly I’d love to see Bowens in it kind of in the role of Mark Briscoe last year to finalize this Acclaimed split

tigerdriver99.bsky.social•199 days ago

Other than that I love the list of names here

chrisbourke.bsky.social•199 days ago

Swerve and Hangman should be in the same block. But sticking to your rules:

GL
Okada
Ospreay
Hangman
Allin
Cassidy
Fletcher

BL
Takeshita
Perry
MJF
Joe
Ricochet
Pac

brytb.bsky.social•197 days ago

Gold league:
Okada
Kyle Oreily
Shelton Benjamin
Buddy Matthews
Ricochet
Big Bill

Blue League:
Bandido
Juice Robinson
Shibata
Samoa Joe/Hobbs
Pac
Takeshita

nofunatparties.bsky.social•199 days ago

I would like a few who are great workers, who haven't found it, yet. Whatever may that mean.

Sammy Guevara
AR Fox
Bandido
Tony Nese, maybe?
Scorpio Sky, maybe as the pin eater?
Shane Taylor?
You get the idea.

wrestlingmark.bsky.social•199 days ago

AR Fox is defo a great shout, I’d be down for him having 5 bangers

I thought about Sammy, but being honest I find it so hard to care about him now

nofunatparties.bsky.social•199 days ago

Yeah, I suppose it'll be a way of knowing if there's anything there or not.

natecronomicon.bsky.social•199 days ago

Unless he's winning I don't see Okada being in it with how protected he is.

mikegwp.bsky.social•199 days ago

He has to be in it if he's still champ

natecronomicon.bsky.social•199 days ago

Oh duh, forgot that's the point. It's been a while.

mikegwp.bsky.social•199 days ago

All good dude

natecronomicon.bsky.social•199 days ago

Holy shit, a good wrestling exchange between strangers. This site is magical.

mikegwp.bsky.social•199 days ago

That's what we're all about positivity an if you wanna hear more of me an mark we have a podcast @gwpodcastuk.bsky.social

tomdanks.bsky.social•199 days ago

I believe he has to be in it because he's the Continental champ. But I think it ultimately comes down to him vs Takeshita in the finals.

wrestlingmark.bsky.social•199 days ago

💯

spacedghost.bsky.social•199 days ago

Hear me out. Big Bill

joshlions.bsky.social•199 days ago

Solid here. No qualms

malcolmsearcyvo.bsky.social•199 days ago

Here are my picks for both leagues!

Blue League
1. Malakai Black

4. Roderick Strong
5. Katsuyori Shibata
6. Konosuke Takeshita

Gold League
1. Kazuchika Okada
2. Hangman Adam Page
3. Kyle Fletcher
4. Jack Perry

Jamie Hayter
Nyla Rose
Hikaru Shida
Thunder Rosa
Serena Deeb
Queen Aminata

BLUE LEAGUE
Mariah May
Mercedes Moné
Kris Statlander
Riho
Anna Jay
Yuka Sakazaki

wrestlingmark.bsky.social•199 days ago

Nice 👌

mandarronious.bsky.social•199 days ago

Thanks! I really think they should go for it. However, I'm just kind of realizing now that if they do, Marina Shafir needs to be in it and should probably win the whole thing.

nerdyguido.bsky.social•199 days ago

This might be perfect. Good job

emperorlariat.bsky.social•199 days ago

I can't see hangman going for anything other than the world title. Not cause I think the continental is beneath him, but cause his character values that world title so much

dolliknitrix.bsky.social•199 days ago

Swap out Hangman for Big Bill, just for the lulz

lucas-michael.bsky.social•199 days ago

Beast Mortos has to be in it. Give him the Brody King monster role!

mikekazeninare.bsky.social•199 days ago

Needs Shibata in the Okada block!!!

raul-pacheco.bsky.social•198 days ago

Malakai has to be in here somewhere. Put the entire House of Black in actually. Also would be cool if Lee Moriarty was in it too

relentlessreh.bsky.social•199 days ago

Great linup, just put Kenny in the Gold league & give me Okada vs Omega final 🔥

joshlions.bsky.social•199 days ago

Just not sure Kenny will be ready to compete in a tournament after missing a year. If anyone can do it, it would be him
