So I have binged like 8 weeks of Dynamite in one night and, as much as Andrade and DBD and MJF and Ishii and Statlander and everybody has all stood out to me.... Holy shit. You CANNOT argue against Cody fucking Rhodes for taking that fire bump and playing this tweener gimmick and trying to make himself look like a goddamn star and fucking dragging AEW kicking and screaming into the world while the Bucks were happy selling t-shirts and Kenny was happy cleaning up New Japan holy shit praise Cody goddamn Rhodes already you piece of shit marks that goddamn bump holy shit my eyes ow ow ow ow. I hated Cody up until 4 years and 2 weeks ago when I met him the first time. I loved Cody since 4 years, 1 week, 6 days and 23 hours ago when he made his way to the ring in front of my eyed and CAPTIVATED me. He is a legend. He. Gets. "It". Holy shit that bump. Fuck you if you talk shit about him. Fuck. You.

Super jealous. AEW is so hot right now.

JR once again becoming a massive scapegoat for his "Tommy End, or whatever he is going to be called" line. Fuck. That. We are not fucking idiots. The reason the reveal got the response it did is because we know who Tommy End, or at least Alister Black, is. The crowd wasn't going wild for some no-name random figure coming out the shadows and attacking Cody. They were going wild because it's Tommy Fucking End. But we also know people change their name and shit. Leave JR alone. His line was no worse than Excalibur's "That's Tommy End, but that's not the person I fought 15 years ago" line. It's clunky however you deliver it. But he's here, he's Tommy Fucking End, but he's known as Malakai Black. I got all the info I needed. It was fine. Kayfabe is dead and buried, live with it ya fucking marks. Would they rather he came out with Tony Khan next week all smiles, kissing babies and did a full-on "name reveal party" like KENTA did in NXT? Fuck off. [/rant]

Yeah that tunnel joke was good.

That is basically her whole gimmick.

Forget about Impact. Forget about NJPW. Forget all of that.......

Let the armchair fantasy booking BEGIN

Been watching the Sting: Into The Light DVD lately and I am HYPE for him in AEW now

"It says 'Dude... why?' "

The entire thread is great.

Lies, he'll be awesome

Fair

That Joey Janella skit on the latest BTE is so white trash lol imagine what the kid is gonna think when it grows up.

PAC v Omega was great and I loved the ending and I'm tired so goodnight x

Wish SCU would decide if their faces or heels. They act heelish for most if their matches then switch to face for the endings. Total "have your cake and eat it" attitude that will wear thin once AEW goes weekly and shit like "the boys always go over" becomes meta.

1) Jericho 2) Omega 3) Bucks 4) Spears 5) Dark Order 6) Janela 7) Riho ?Luchasaurus House Party B1 over B2 Brandi B3 yes? Does getting on the apron and attempting count? B4 Bucks B5 Yes B6 CM Punk

I'd personally be up for mixing up the scoring system. The proposal of 8 points for a win if there are 8 players might be good in case people sleep on an event?

I also hated the Kong thing, buuuuut, Devil's Advocate, this is their one chance to suck in WWE/TNA fans. WWE fan - "Oh this Brandi Rhodes lassy does the stuff that I like Stephanie McMahon doing" TNA fan - "Oh they are showing respect to Kong like TNA did but WWE didn't, I am now engaged" Maybe overthinking it, but I was okay with that ONE instance. Plus plus plus Brandi is always a chickenshit heel manager for Cody anyway so it fit her kayfabe ethos. Agree about the Joshi stuff, needed a bit more of a reason why everyone was an individual. All melded together and I actively try to enjoy women's wrestling more than men's.

The NJPW esque post match interviews were great. Conversely, I love that they are not over producing things, but I hope they get a consistent voice for the weekly show. The mix of kayfabe and shoot questions was fine, but mixing traditional wrestling lingo and WWE speak (Britt Baker constantly saying "superstars" for one) was jarring. Plus as many have pointed out, the Casino Royale may have been good to get all the boys a few moments but it did NOT advertise what the actual show was all about to prospective buyers. Worked well for All In, was okay for DON, but they need a much stronger lead-in for All Out. Cody v Dustin was must see, Omega v Jericho was mostly must see, Moxley was must see, the tags were good, everything else was okay. I was thoroughly entertained. I would have paid £15 but ITV made it ridiculously hard to do so and to enjoy not live, so I'll buy a few tshirts instead to support.
