The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent
vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums
here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules
document is now in effect.
The current plan is to attempt to start the Holiday Forums on December 23rd sometime during the day. During this time, the Future State Planning Center will remain open. The Holiday Forum merge will last (if Vanilla cooperates) until January 3rd.

My only problem is that it seemed wildly out of character for Danielson to ignore Yuta.

Look, he really hates Mox right now, OK?
Which if he had ignored a laid out Yuta to keep fighting Mox I'd have been fine with it, but the way it happened they're going to have Yuta turn on Danielson and be a heel, when he's completely in the right on this. That was a dick move on Danielson's part.

I think before that he might show up in the crowd and distract Hangman enough for him to lose. It's the only way that booking Hangman vs White makes sense.

There's a good chance he's the reason RoH was able to attract an audience in the very beginning and become the force that changed what professional wrestling is in America now. He even fulfilled his dates on the indies after WWE re-signed him because that's the kind of guy he was.
All the indie guys talked about how great he was to work with and friendly he was backstage which is always nice to hear as well as him being one of the great workers of all time.

And just like that, everything that's happened with her lately makes perfect sense, and I can completely buy into it.
I mean, apparently she cut a promo or something on Rampage to explain it outside of this, too, but they had me here.

Tony "Too bad, you're winning at Wembley."
Bryan Danielson "Okay, but I'm going to lose the belt in my home state PPV when my former friends literally kill me in the ring, ending my full time career, ripping out the hearts of everyone around me"
Tony "Deal"
Wonder when it's really going to hit me that the best wrestler ever is done as a full time wrestler?

Pretty downer ending for a ppv but I feel like it worked. If they did this kind of thing a lot it would maybe be frustrating, but they don’t and I think this was earned. I’m looking forward to seeing where things go.
Pretty good show.
Mox scratching then biting Danielson's back was very good.
Yuta's busaiku knee was very good after the match.

lots of great matches though, i even liked mox/danielson but the post match angle was ehh.
They've been pretty clear that this just ends Bryan's "full time" career, whatever extent that means.
I do think this pays off well because AEW has made a point of putting hometown people over more often than not (somewhat countering WWE's obsession with hometown losses that used to be REAL BAD) so that Bryan losing in his hometown is really meaningful. A lot of us, I'm sure, assumed there was no way they'd have Bryan lose defending the World Title on PPV in Washington, so it was fairly shocking when he lost, cleanly, and then got basically MDK'd afterwards.
Earning this ending is going to depend on how well they use this angle going forward.
If they cement Yuta as a top heel and Darby and Orange as main event guys it's worth it and works.

Yeah, the main takeaway I’m choosing to focus on is it wasn’t an accident the camera kept showing, and outright ended the show with the final shot of, OC and Darby
I think those two are your next two world champs. Question is more which is the one that beats Mox next. Wouldn’t be shocked if it’s Darby, but I want OC holding it longest when (not if) he finally wins it
