aew 2021: don callis’s sunglass game is on point

i love vickie :(

Yeah Vickie Guerrero is and always has been superb, people love booing her and also she seems really nice

Vickie in AEW is probably also partially a product of Jericho wanting her to have a decent job after WWE treated her like shit for years

can't explain why this is the best dark ever without spoiling but this is the best dark ever

Looks like Dynamite was a corker with *spoilers*

*waits patiently until I have some free time next week*

it was such a major episode

hangman ;_;

lmao at andrade's male stripper suit outfit. surely he can do better.

the coffin match was so fucking awesome

just body after body busting out of shit wood and hitting pavement

Rare opportunity for me to watch next day, so excited for it. Think it’s coming up next.

I AM SO INVESTED IN HANGMAN/DARK ORDER

THEY ARE DOING A SURVIVOR SERIES MATCH. ITS GONNA BE AWESOME

god that was such an awesome episode top to bottom

I just came here to say EVE-RY-BO-DY DIIIIIIIIIIIES!

I live in a time where i can unashamedly be overjoyed at Sting/OC appearance. Glorious idiocy.

surprised at how hyped i am for the remaining labors of jericho. the spears match was really fun

A lot of extremely exciting rumours flying around about AEW acquisitions atm. They’re in a great spot because if the rumours turn out to be untrue then the response is simply “o well, never mind, may as well continue enjoying this excellent wrestling company with their many excellent wrestlers. But if the rumours are true then things look likely to start approaching towering new heights of excitement

Pleased with the result of the main event, feel like the winner there really really needed a big win and this felt big. Speaking of big, will be great to see haku’s giant son on dynamite next week. The AEW/NJPW relationship is gonna deliver big time once travel becomes a bit easier

Also Jericho’s next challenge ought to be quite a thing, after the last year of Eddie Kingston I’ve got a lot of faith that they’re gonna give their latest big indie veteran signing the platform he needs to shine

I’m gonna try not thinking about the rumours because I don’t wanna get too disappointed if they don’t happen. But if even one of them is true, holy fucking god. also if this helps punk and cabana be best mates again, that would be the best. It’s such a shame that wwe fucked them up with that giant lawsuit

Watching dynamite now and MJF will have a great post wrestling career as Bobby Heenan

Fucking hell, is Luke Gallows v Kazarian the most boring match up they could put on? Even Omega looks embarrassed, can’t remember his lines and has the lamest full forehead plaster

my favorite wrestler is finally, officially all elite

think it’s fair to say when gage appearing is maybe top 3 stories in yr news cycle things are going good.

Kinda loving this box-checking ride of Jericho

Burying the led of GODDAMN TANAHASHI

the opening match last night kinda stole the show, and the upset ending apparently gave everyone in wrestling fandom an anxiety attack

gage was awesome though, i love that the labors of jericho is sort of an excuse just to have this gauntlet of awesome wrestlers come through

well, that was meant to be a spoiler tag instead of a strikethrough, so i'm sorry if i ruined it for anyone <3

This is officially the best picture in picture commercial in professional wrestling history. @dominos @thekingnickgage #AEWDynamite pic.twitter.com/FoGCIQgun2

Not sure I’ve ever seen a promotion on such an absurd hot streak. Between the entrances for the 5vs5 match, the tease re: Darby’s opponent for the First Dance, the next challenger for the IWGP US title (and who knows what could maybe come next after that?), Nick Gage and the plate glass hurricanrana, the third of Jericho’s labours, Miro continuing to be the most gripping wrestler in the world, Tarzan Boy and of course the ongoing speculation over the mooted arrival of Daniel Bryan Danielson, it’s seriously like these guys can do no wrong at the moment.

Which isn’t to say that it’s all perfect, there’s definitely stuff to work on. But theyve got so much momentum right now and I think the expansion to Rampage next month is going to help so much with spacing the cool stuff out a bit and giving things room to breathe. That United Centre show on august 20th is going to be unmissable

I’ve not even watched it but lol a heel did a heel rap about a popular athlete like Simone Biles and people were super outraged to the point where they took it down. It’s almost like a bad wrestler was trying to get a reaction where he would be seen as a bad guy, how dare he?

I don’t even follow that much wrestling Twitter but it’s made my timeline insufferable.

caster made a joke about duke lacrosse in north carolina during a show that was a benefit for sexual assault survivors... it was very bad form

the simone biles joke was fine and funny

it's a bummer, i love max caster

hope he uh learns something from this maybe :\

heartbreaking episode of dynamite already

god one of the best episodes ever so far

yeah that was really something

i felt such a vast spectrum of emotions watching that show lol

I thought this was gonna be a bit of a cool down episode but you’ve got me excited to watch it

i think it was the most eventful episode of the past month, amazingly

FUEGO!

that show was superb, the hot crowd made it feel special right from the off.

Seeing quite a few people still kvetching about the Hangman angle not going down the way they thought it would but honestly I think the way they’re setting things up is excellent. Who could’ve doubted Christian Cage (lol I did), that match was absolutely fantastic and I’m hyped for them to go again at All Out

How fucking great is it that AEW exists?!

i expect the hangman storyline to be picked up again ofc but i sort of appreciate how much they’ve made me suffer. it’s good storytelling still

also,,,,,,, FUEGO!!!!!

oh yeah for sure, Hangman is still the endgame here - but I think the story might now end up being Kenny blames Don and the Bucks for last night's loss and distances himself, drops the AAA title to Andrade at Triplemania and goes kind of paranoid and feral into full Best Bout Machine mode for the final few months of his AEW reign as he clings desperately to the last and most important belt. Hangman returns, gets his match at last, kicks out of the OWA, wins the title and ends the Kenny Omega, Belt Collector arc. which, that is obviously gonna be amazing so the ppl out there acting like Hangman has been Lex Luger-ed, I just don't get it

anyway yeah the Fuego moment was beautiful and proves that the Youtube shows really do serve a purpose in building up a lower/mid-card that ppl care about

How fucking great is it that AEW exists?!

This, every day.

last night's dark was an especially good dark episode, trios dark order match -> dante martin/lee moriarty main event was great booking

there are a lot of up-and-coming future-of-the-industry ppl in the aew roster right now, part of what makes it so exciting, but dante martin in particular....

actually it may have been preceded by the jurassic express/varsity blondes vs. the wingmen match, god, that shit was so good lol

You really make me wanna watch dark but I still haven’t found time for last weeks dynamite and rampage yet. Ahhh I love wrestling again.

And I know I need to before Saturday morning in case some sort of non drinker turns up in chicago

the rampage crowd from friday was also attending that dark episode. what a crowd. the pops sound so huge

overwhelmed by how good this week’s dynamite is
