Niners Fan in CT

It's getting good. They caught up with Mercedes and Kamille in the backstage area after that and Lol https://twitter.com/DrainBamager/status/1816664975513124973

Okay here's the best quality I've seen so far. https://twitter.com/twcworldwide/status/1816633737830105129

I can't post the link right now but Dr. Britt was interrupted at their San Diego Comic Con panel by Mercedes and Kamille (dressed as Poision Ivy and Bane respectively..) Chaos ensued and Tony Khan officially booked the match for 'All In'

"ALL IN" Card as we know it... Swerve vs. Bryan Danielson MJF vs. Will Ospreay Mercedes Mone vs. Dr. Britt Baker Toni Storm vs. Mariah May Darby vs. Jack Perry Hangman Page vs. Okada (not confirmed)

Excellent main event and it looks to me like two more matches likely added to 'All In' one of which is confirmed. Darby vs. Jack Perry Okada vs. Hangman Yes....please.

I read somewhere that a couple countries have had AEW on Max for a couple weeks now but nobody knew. I hope it comes to Max in the U.S. but I don't know if it will.

I agree with you they probably could have gotten it done in 30-40 minutes instead of 59:58 but I have to give them a lot of credit because there was a stretch around the 55-minute mark where they were both hit a 5th or 6th gear that I didn't think was possible after they had already wrestled for so long. Insane stamina from both men.

What is that.. 3 weeks in a row of HEAT... Dynamite is clicking. Ospreay vs. MJF was an incredible match too.

Saw some things on the Twitter saying this whole Toni Storm and Mariah May story arc is a play on the 1950 movie 'All About Eve'. Fascinating stuff.

For all the talk about the WTF? booking in AEW, these past few weeks have been TREMENDOUS... maybe the best back-to-back shows they've ever done? That ending was insanity.... I think you could say they are hitting on all cylinders headed towards 'ALL IN' Anyone surprised that they are running MJF vs. Ospreay next week? I know it's Dynamite 250 but that seemed like a Wembley match.

I think that's her name? I'm only 55% sure..

She's great but matches with Jazmyn Nix aren't going to hit like matches with Mercedes. She belongs on the main roster.

I mentioned this in the monthly thread but if ALL IN is looking like Swerve vs. Hangman 4 Toni Storm vs. Mariah May Mercedes Mone' vs. Dr. Britt Baker Will Ospreay vs. MJF That's a really strong start for the biggest show of the year...

You've been watching wrestling for too long to be this wrong. They played it perfectly. The crowd isn't going to cheer for an "outsider" over their homegrown star. They did every little disrespectful thing they could to make sure there would be no question who the heel is. "We hate this idiot" sounds more like projecting to me and it works because you're already worked up one segment into the feud.

Even if it doesn't, AEW needs to stay the course IMO. Last night felt like they had their energy back and the way to win people over is by being consistent.

It's all about attention to detail for me. They started setting up the ring with celebratory bullshit while Dr. Britt was STILL in the ring.. some real disrespectful shit there. Both her and Mercedes go their lines in. Dr. Britt had some great lines about Mercedes being broken down at 'ALL IN' and Mercedes' facial expressions and palming Britt's face... really good heel shit. MJF.. awesome beat down. But again what made it great was the attention to detail. He yelled some shit about "Restoring the feeling" which you know is him going at Ospreay but then Ospreay comes limping out mind you and MJF powders into the crowd where he went full Piper or Dudley Boyz with the fans riling them up even more. I loved all of this.

Best Dynamite in a long time. Everything was CLICKING... ALL IN Season is going to be wild. Clap for them. Mercedes and MJF both as heels is great..

I'm thinking Dr. Britt's line of thinking here promo wise will be "This division didn't need 'saving' bitch I've been carrying this place from the beginning" Sounds like an easy feud to make. A layup.

'ALL IN' to me is looking like: Swerve vs. Hangman Ospreay vs. MJF Toni vs. Mariah Mercedes vs. Dr. Britt

That was great! Typical New York vs. Boston stuff and I loved every second of it. The match itself was good too. Carried? No... the match was to put over Steph's offense and Mercedes is one of the best bumpers in the business and they did just that. Mercedes and Vaquer are going to run this back in Arena Mexico.

Forgot to mention that. I'm glad they are mixing Dr. Britt into the TBS picture. They kept her away from Jade and I felt that was a disservice to the division.

Ah great show. New York turning on Mercedes and chanting "Fuck the Celtics" and "Fuck the Red Sox" was wonderful. She switched right into heel mode after that. Stephanie Vaquer was awesome, what a showing by her... Ospreay and Swerve was fantastic. I'm so happy Swerve retained, I've been loving his run since the Hangman series. Hilarious seeing Jim Jones out there.

So is Meltzer ready to admit it was Juneteenth?

Also, sorry to double post but I find it odd when someone says "why would wrestling fans care about Juneteenth?" First of all, anyone can celebrate Juneteenth, I think it's a weird comment to make and I've seen a lot of that on Twitter. Also, when people have days off from work, they may not actually "celebrate" the holiday but they will choose to do something different with their free time.

I don't know.. when he sent out that tweet I was like "Ok, Dave has something to tell us..." and then I listened to the podcast and he said a million things without really saying much of anything. I don't know why the simple answer is not the answer? Wrestling usually does really bad on a lot of holidays now, remember RAW stopped running during Christmas etc..
