5 Ups & 5 Downs From AEW Rampage (Oct 14)
2. People Are Numb To These "Surprises"
The Kingdom from ROH are now #AllElite.
Maria Kanellis-Bennett, Mike Bennett and Matt Taven showed up right at the end of Rampage to challenge FTR for the ROH Tag Titles and maybe even the IWGP belts too. Hey, could somebody get word to Tony Khan please? It'd be nice if he could sign a few more wrestlers.
That's a joke, obviously - AEW's locker room is bursting with talent, and it's oversaturated these days. That's been the case for a while, of course, but adding more names is just taking the p*ss. Even Toronto's wrestling-daft masses, who had been hot all night, barely cared about The Kingdom's intro.
In fairness, it's hard to give a damn when you know a million more "surprises" just like this one will happen without any real time to take a breath. Remember when people said that Vince Russo needed an editor in the late-90s/early-2000s? Yeah, well, TK needs two of them.
