    There’s probably a blaring “Angle Alert” siren for MJF/Omega on Saturday.

    Like one of the people gunning for MJF will prevent Omega from winning the title because they want to beat MJF for the title.

    Take your pick of Samoa Joe vs Omega or Wardlow vs Omega or what

    Joe makes a lot of sense as Joe/Omega is one of those dream matches we haven’t seen in AEW that would look real nice at Full Gear

    If this was truly AESE or whatever the fuck 🙄, Wardlow would’ve been shot to the top of the card after steamrolling MJF that one time. But it’s not, and he can’t hang in the main event (back then, but especially now).

    It’s how I honestly feel about others like Miro or Hobbs or Archer. They have a place, and it’s not the World title. I’m sure some (most?) won’t agree with me, but yeah.

    It’s pretty bad. This current version of Wardlow and his Haas-Tier charisma make Miro and Hobbs look like prime Sid and Vader.

    Not trying to pick on the dude but he went from “the slam dunk prospect we think WWE should trade Sasha for” to the other guy in the Master Blasters

  3. Yeah man has anyone in wrestling cooled off more than Wardlow? This is like “Braun Stroman in that one Elimination Chamber to Braun Stroman just before he was released” levels of cooling off. Right now the dude just looks like the biggest jabronie in the world. Like Mark Jindrak is like “damn that’s a generic body guy right there”.

  4. So, every time this thread gets bumped I always think about whatever match it is that caused it to be bumped and then say to myself “…nope, the parking lot brawl is still my favorite AEW match ever”

    And I wonder why that is, and I think it’s because more so than any other match in company history it captures the essence of AEW: Daily’s Place during the pandemic, Best Friends who are the heart and soul of the promotion, the irreverent humor with Sue and the van, no ex-WWE notables, and the grittiness / reality of doing it all in one cut

    So yeah it’s still my favorite. Dunno what’s going to top it.

    Rosa/Baker, Pac/Cassidy and the Bucks/Omega/Page tag are also kind of like this to me and round out my top 4 in some order. Then probably Danielson/Suzuki.

    clearly AEW won the ratings last night if you count for

    1) the fact that at least 100,000 people who tuned into NXT accidentally thinking Edge was gonna wrestle there

    2) the fact that there were 200,000 people who were planning on watching Dynamite tonight

    3) the fact that some of the TV listings didn't tell people exactly when the show was

    4) the fact that the Cable Dahmer had thousands of raving AEWmaniacs while the Performance Center had 100 people there

    5) the fact that the WWE cheated by trying to put on a show that people wanted to see instead of conceding Tony Khan's birthday

    call me Tony

    (should I sarcasm tag that)

    Wes Mantooth? 

    Tony needs to chill out. Dude ain’t beating Cena and Taker, in a different day/time slot than normal, no matter what he does. Omega/Danielson for two hours or Moxley in an exploding time bomb piranha match or whatever else he could book isn’t beating it. And that’s ok; this week’s Dynamite was a great show.

  6. One AEW booking pet peeve of mine is unnecessarily keeping programs going after the first match. Tony did it with Hobbs and Starks and he’s doing it again with Swerve and Hangman. Don’t do this Unc, just stop. Let Swerve (or, earlier, Hobbs/Starks) move on. 

    Elsewhere, Toni should crown herself the TCM Champion. If not, what are we even doing here?

    Last night really hit home for me that MJF, Darby and Christian and to a certain extent Kingston are in a class beyond the rest of the roster, even Danielson and Mox. There's too many guys focusing on what they should "do" in a great match rather than how they should behave in a great match. Character work is the real currency. 

     

    That really is the list, and if we include non-wrestlers I’d throw Don Callis in there. And over in ROH Athena does an excellent job of working like her character.

    What Christian’s done this year will be part of a graduate-level course in the performance center 20 years from now.

  8. Swerve/Page was great. Swerve is clearly next in line and him and MJF will be a blast whenever that goes down

    On Edge, on one hand I’m totally fine if this all ends with like a quadruple retirement Tables, Ladders and Recliners match with the Hardys, but on the other I’m NOT okay with that because while the other three need to hang it up I need Christian on my TV for another 10 years
