There is no way this is a work, come on. As has been observed elsewhere, if nothing else TK is no actor. the idea that he was feigning during that presser is ludicrous

Sounds like a hell of a show from looking at twitter while walking the dog in the rain. Can’t wait to watch it later.

Idk man, making the company look like it’s abysmally run and most of its top stars are terrible, unprofessional people so they can randomly start an out of nowhere worked shoot angle at the expense of the major MJF angle they just presumably spent huge money getting a Stones song for?
In fairness, I agree with this and it’s the thing that makes me preface my comments with “putting my ‘screwjob was a work!’ hat on” and means I’d never bet money on it.

(Mind you, they did waste the money licensing that song for an ill-conceived bit that fell flat with the live crowd, at best. I don’t understand it, either.)

the grand slam card is 1. incredible 2. basically a restaging of all out 3. i'm not complaining

Watching last weeks AEW and Stokely’s job squad is on.
What happened to Shawn Spears?
Also why does one of the ass boys have an arm pit tattoo that looks like he’s gone mouldy?

Bit early for paternity leave. I think they just cycled him out for a while, especially after the whole MJF deal.

Did you stick around till the end? The building looked conspicuously empty on TV (and I know why, it was well after midnight on a school night).

Also, that Julia Hart table spot looked nasty and I’m glad she’s OK.

it was 12:30 and yes a lot of the crowd had emptied out but we stuck around, and starks/hobbs was absolutely worth it
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Saturday, 24 September 2022 17:55 (one year ago) link
I’ve not seen it yet but I feel for them, Starks and Hobbs are two of my favourites.
You know who needs a good feud? Wardlow

jungleboy/fenix was match of the night and prob a contender for match of the year. shame we were all so tired

I was at last year's grand slam and was absolutely drained about halfway through the Rampage taping. Were the concession/merch lines any better than last years?

Just a reminder all, Dynamite is tonight instead of tomorrow.
Lots of crazy stuff going on with this company lately, as far as backstage issues. Unfortunately not surprised that Sammy Guevara is involved.

despite things blowing up behind the scenes regularly i think the product has been p consistently great over this past month
hope nyla stealing jade's title leads somewhere lol

Sorry if this is a spoiler, but relieved that Hangman seems to be doing okay. Scary ending to the main event last night.

I’ve not seen Dynamite for about a month due to ~Lyfe~ and I thought I’d check out the full gear card
lololololol sting and Darby V. …. JEFF JARRETT AND JAY LETHAL?
Wtf is this shit?
And seemingly no Wardlow, TNT champion or FTR, best tag team in the company.
― a hoy hoy, Saturday, 12 November 2022 15:50 (one year ago) link
jeff jarrett’s debut was a recent low
everything else has been dope. ftr just wrestled an amazing eight man tag match
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Saturday, 12 November 2022 16:11 (one year ago) link
and the acclaimed are the best thing on television
full gear card is actually extremely awesome
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Saturday, 19 November 2022 15:13 (one year ago) link
They need to stick the landing on this one, it’s been feeling very flat for a while now. Time to correct course and go in a new direction
― Windsor Davies, Saturday, 19 November 2022 18:11 (one year ago) link
idk i think every dynamite since and including grand slam has been excellent. they’ve already pivoted. and mjf is gonna make an amazing champ*
*i agree with max it’s his time
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Saturday, 19 November 2022 18:42 (one year ago) link
got to ditch the ROH stuff and end this interminable JAS vs BCC feud imo.
still feels like they're benching major AEW players that the fans are behind in favour of featuring whoever TK fancies this month, still feels like whenever a new star heats up to a certain point they run out of ideas of where to go next, still feels like there's too much emphasis on putting on technically competent wrestling matches as opposed to running memorable or buzzworthy angles.
all personal taste ofc but i've really fallen out of love with AEW this year.
this card does look predictably sick though, yes. TNT title match should be a hoot
― Windsor Davies, Saturday, 19 November 2022 19:03 (one year ago) link
like, Rush and Bandido are cool. AR Fox and Dalton Castle could be cool. Jay Lethal, Jeff Jarrett and many others are not cool. but none of them should be getting TV time when you've got the usual list of suspects spinning their wheels and not being featured. and that's before we even start on Brian Cage, Daivari, Gates of Agony, whoever the fuck has been getting featured matches ahead of fucking Miro, who was p much the best wrestler in the world for a while there.
it's a mess
― Windsor Davies, Saturday, 19 November 2022 19:08 (one year ago) link
also i can't remember the last episode of AEW tv where you couldn't look at the card in advance and call every winner, give or take. they've got to freshen it up.
anyway sorry these are all really boring complaints that have been made everywhere ad infinitum so i'll stop. i am looking forward to this show.
― Windsor Davies, Saturday, 19 November 2022 19:09 (one year ago) link
i really have to assume miro is injured again lol
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Saturday, 19 November 2022 21:55 (one year ago) link
i think i agree that bcc vs. jas has been interminable while also thinking jericho’s roh champion run has actually been v interesting
roh tv deal is supposedly in the works, or maybe not, who knows, i do like that there isn’t much roh content in the ppv beyond the title match
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Saturday, 19 November 2022 21:59 (one year ago) link
brian cage is a very good wrestler, his charms may not translate to tv effectively ever but he’s one of the dopest big guys out there
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Saturday, 19 November 2022 22:00 (one year ago) link
I think he's a charisma-free douche and I wouldn't mourn if he was cut because of all his dumbshit extracurricular opinions, but I also kind of tend to automatically tune in if he's wrestling a very squishy little guy or another big hoss he can have a video game match with, it is quite simply good television
― hiroyoshi tins in (Sgt. Biscuits), Saturday, 19 November 2022 22:39 (one year ago) link
Same is true of Wardlow, Hobbs, joe, archer and others. Big dude with snappy offence pulverising a jobber in the Steiner style is always fun tv but there are guys on the roster (including but not limited to all of the above) who can do that while presenting much more upside than that dipshit Brian Cage who will never be anything more than thatEven leaving Miro to one side, I just can’t fathom having a guy like the entirely and correctly beloved 2k22 Eddie Kingston on the roster and not having him be perpetually in a major program as a mainstay of the show, same goes for FTR, same goes for PACI didn’t want to watch jay lethal 10 or 15 years ago, I certainly don’t want to watch him now. Bobby fish is gone now but I felt the same way about him when he was all over the tv
― Windsor Davies, Sunday, 20 November 2022 01:01 (one year ago) link
Should be noted that in terms of raw talent Jun Akiyama vs Eddie Kingston is an absolutely absurd match to be able to chuck out there on a pre show, there aren’t many obvious contenders for better wrestler than those 2 in the 21st century beyond Danielson Can’t watch this live so bowing out but I’m confident this is gonna be a great show
― Windsor Davies, Sunday, 20 November 2022 01:04 (one year ago) link
