as someone with back issues, i winced at the lower-back kneebomb move done during the MJF/Yuta match

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.

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
wardlow is not charismaless! wtf. capricious ass wrestling fans
that elite/death triangle match was special

Yeah sorry I could’ve been clearer. To be clear - Wardlow fucking rocks
― Windsor Davies, Sunday, 20 November 2022 03:50 (one year ago) link

they’re doing a best of 7 between the elite and death triangle
embarrassment of riches

i had zoned out of every one of these narratives leading up and in the ring they made you invested in each of them. blackpool/jac was amazing. i think my favorite thing at the moment was mjf's classic walk-on drip.
― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Sunday, 20 November 2022 07:09 (one year ago) link
they managed to land two planes simultaneously on a busy landing strip with that main event.
― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Sunday, 20 November 2022 07:15 (one year ago) link
also, i'm not sure how anyone else heard it on the PPV, but i thought the audience was saying "fuck 'em up" until they followed it up with "colt cabana".
― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Sunday, 20 November 2022 07:20 (one year ago) link
I’m watching this on silent at work. WSG in those big ass Stevie Wonder sunglasses keeps making me laugh. Every match has been great so far, including the Jade match, who can make me tune out some times. The cage match was perfect.
Currently watching the Paige-Britt, Paige looks in pretty good shape.

Damn, I actually have customers and can’t just watch wrestling. I’ve skipped the old man tag, I presume I’ve not missed owt there
― a hoy hoy, Sunday, 20 November 2022 12:26 (one year ago) link
I don’t like sexualising female wrestlers but god damn I have such a crush on Hayter. She is such a good wrestler too, I hope she wins.
Whatever happened to Deeb? I’ve not been watching recently, is she on the Miro milk carton?
― a hoy hoy, Sunday, 20 November 2022 12:29 (one year ago) link
the old man tag is actually very good

My dodgy stream didn’t show any video package or entrances for the main event ;-;
Excited for the inevitable match coming out of the tag team match.

Mox’s burgundy leggings gear is awful. Really strange as Max is kinda being the baby face and yet doing stuff like pulling the ref in the way. Also MJF as a Babyface just doesn’t work, he’s a slimy bugger.
Ah ok, seeing the end makes it make sense. Wait, no it doesn’t. Why did Regal tell him not to cheat and then helped him to?

Oh shot SPOILERZ SORRY EVERYBODY
― a hoy hoy, Sunday, 20 November 2022 20:32 (one year ago) link
regal’s been referring to himself as a villain for the past month. in the past tense of course but… i think he sees something in max that reflects what’s inside him way more than anyone in the bcc, which is effectively in shambles
makes sense to me!
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Sunday, 20 November 2022 20:40 (one year ago) link
I didn't think Full Gear was a particularly good show, but that was a strong Dynamite to follow up. Thought Starks vs Page was a really good solid match. The commentary in the picture in picture breaks was also some of the loosest, goofiest shit they've ever done and it was glorious
― hiroyoshi tins in (Sgt. Biscuits), Saturday, 26 November 2022 17:24 (one year ago) link
sometimes the picture in picture commentary slips into the youtube uploads, i’ll have to check it out
but yes really excellent dynamite, and i’m so happy for ricky
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Saturday, 26 November 2022 17:45 (one year ago) link
I thought both Full Gear and Dynamite were excellent. It did seem like a transitional PPV though, as opposed to their usual blow outs. Jungle Boy v Luchasaurus was my favourite match of the night.
Picture in Picture was great. I love goofy Taz. I also loved the clip on Mox on Renee’s show talking about doing cheap speed and cocaine and getting inspired to go to the library.
― a hoy hoy, Saturday, 26 November 2022 18:41 (one year ago) link
Mox talking about going to the library high is one of my favorite mox-isms, so to speak. Glad he's clean now, but I still love those stories.
Also, this is gonna, as the kids say, slap. Probably literally.

Ricky Starks has really won me over this year. I liked him before, but man, he got over HUGE with me this year. My friends were at Dynamite this week and they were losing their minds, since Ricky is the hometown hero in Austin. It'll probably be a great showing for him.
