  1. I honestly thought they were going to force a quick 10-count from the ref against Private Party.
  2. That’s the best part of all this booking, they can basically go all of 2024 with Joe, Swerve, Hangman, Ospreay, whoever else. Meanwhile, when they’re both ready MJF can occupy Cole and go after non-champion Joe until he gets his revenge. If everything goes well and gets over, MJF finally gets the belt back at the last PPV of the year.
  3. @Zakk_Sabbath That is a good point about longer term angle setting, but my specific gripe with the women’s match was Anna Jay giving a shit and staring at Mercedes. They’ve had zero interaction thus far.
  4. Are y’all on Bluesky by any chance (it’s open now, no invite needed). I would gladly reskeet to the Wrestlesky community.
  5. I found it a little funny that they announced that “Tony Khan has made it official: Julia Hart will defend her title against Willow Nightengale at Dynasty” when that was the announced stipulation for the match AND Willow won clean.
  6. I liked her debut appearance, but I think she needs to have some of the WWE deprogrammed from her. And while I think she is an important addition, having her be the focus of a title angle that she isn’t actually participating in, when she hasn’t even wrestled a match in the company, is a little insulting to the existing talent.
  7. Great show. I get some of the criticisms that others have posted, but some of them are based on perceptions of what wrestling is/should be that I don’t necessarily share. Shibata-Ospreay started off grappling. Maybe not everything was 100%, but it was a great way to start a long match and also ties into their long-term storyline. Ospreay still can’t beat Shibata on the mat, so it’s going to be a slug fest. At the same time, Ospreay can’t take too many high risks, because one slight mistake and he’s tapping. Sure, we had the AEW strike exchanges, but they fit in a match between two guys whose main work has been in Japan. Only part I thought was excessive was Ospreay’s “fighting spirit” Kip-up into a spinning round kick. The EVP Bucks wrestling a slightly different style has my attention. They made Private Party look way better than I think they actually are. The Bucks also botched their signature move. They better not win the tournament. Dustin’s makeup looks scary and his big round eyes made it look like he was legit missing his eye area other than his eyeball on the left side. Butcher is weird and funny. I looked up the word for “meat” in French and it’s weird so let’s assume the crowd chants “bouef”. Danielson vignette was great. His match at Dynasty is going to be face-face though at this rate. Women’s 4-way, like all multi-person matches, had some excellent moments when it was 1 on 1 and a lot of standing/lying around. Willow-Skye really pair well together, once again Willow makes the Code Blue look smooth AF, while Skye takes a nasty apron bump (which did a good job of having her outside for the finish). My main complaint was Mercedes. She added nothing on commentary, and every single woman in the ring, and Julia afterward, made her their focus of attention. I’m about to start calling her Mercedes Pooche. Anyway, assuming Willow wins Dynasty and loses to Mercedes either at a PPV or next big Dynamite after, and the belt gets Jaded. I did not expect to see Best Friends win, just assumed that Kingdom would keep going as part of the rickety Undisputed storyline. Trent looked great. I like the idea of Orange Cassidy realizing that he really likes being a champion, and now he also has the chance to be a champion with one of his friends. As for the main event: Swerve is on a heater, and is destined for the championship, and it needs to be soon...BUT...Takeshita deserved that win. It’s very fair to say that this one has too many kick outs of big moves (although at least not a top rope blue Thunder bomb this time). I think both guys were winded at the end, and maybe one or both were a little fuzzy (Takeshita got his fucking head stomped on the ring apron), and things ended a little shaky/slow. Let Takeshita take the Continental title off Strong and have a fun run with it.
  8. I have to say, it would’ve been a nIce touch to have someone in the ring with Justin Roberts introducing the main event in the bastard French they speak. I assume Papa Magie is on Rampage, maybe he could’ve done it.
  9. Pineapple on pizza is awesome, especially with pickled jalapeños. I draw my line at corn.
  10. Yes, I would take hold of Thunder Rosa... Anyway, other than the tag matches (which will be fine) this looks to be a great night. I imagine we’ll hear from Adam Copeland as well.
  11. There are some pretty solid songs on the album, I had it on cassette back in the day.
  12. That’s a good point, although at some point they need to actually push the youngsters instead of giving them hope matches.
  13. Seeing some people on Bluesky advocating for AEW to sign Motor City Machine Guns. I’ve liked their work that I’ve seen over the years (hate their theme song though). But also I feel like the fact I’ve been seeing their work since the early 2000s is a big point against them, especially with the style they wrestle. Then again, they’re both in their very early 40s. Given the already very full roster, I’m not sure if I’d sign them.
  14. To me, Primus is a winter weizenbock from Live Oak brewing in Austin that was one of my wife’s and my favorite seasonal beers. It definitely doesn’t suck.
