AEW Dynamite - 1/11/2023


Recommended Posts

things I remember from this episode of Dynamite:

Gee, there's a lot of black space behind the hard cam in the Forum. The Main Event being a ladder match did provide a logical reason to show that they were running in a large building tonight.

Moxley and Page hitting each other hard and Page going over clean.

Large William takes a bump for Hook.

We have celebrities in the building. Several of them, in fact.

MJF talks for awhile and gets chased off. Bryan and Takeshita hit each other hard for awhile and Danielson wins.

Adam Page is back.

Toni Storm worked an entire match. Babyface miscommunication leads to Britt/Hayter winning. Time for a 2 month long road to Shida or Storm turning heel. Also no Sasha Banks/Mercades, despite all the wishcasting but you can just say that she'll debut after the Shida/Storm split. Or maybe before it. Probably should have figured it was gonna be just another match when it was tucked neatly into the 2nd hour close to the same timeslot that AEW almost always runs their womens matches.

The Jericho group says stuff as Ricky Starks is still stuck in a feud with these guys.

Next week, Power Slap. Good thing there is nobody problematic involved in that!

Finally the Best of 7 is over. We're free from this matchup! It's probably difficult to do this 7 times and really have much new to do in match #7. That ladder piledriver was wild. Kenny beats a 2 on 1 to win it all. So they put up all 3 belts but you just needed to pull down one of them to win.

You’re right. I forgot “pretentious” in front of “shitty haired” and “mark-ass” in front of “skinny-fat.” I think I’m good now…

Gotta be careful we don't start sounding like the "Sasha is DEFINITELY coming back at the next WWE PLE" crowd.

Shit, it's way more egregious they used a nasty-ass brainbuster on the outside as a 2-count instead of stretchering Danielson out.

Everything in-ring really clicked tonight, except for maybe a couple minutes of the women's match. Great execution by everyone.

A good show that should have been great. And I went to Grand Slam 2 so I should know.

Mox/Page was solid but the concussion angle was corny and running the Adam Cole comeback afterwards was double dumb.

Women's tag wasn't dead, but the heat was not helped by the wonky face/heel alignment and no Sasha whatsoever.

Danielson/Takeshita was more of a Takeshita match than a Danielson match??? 

I'm a Hager defender and I'd rather somebody cut a top-of-Botchamania stupid promo than a boring one but that was something else.

The Elite completing the comeback over Death Triangle felt way to formulaic for this company. I thought DT was gonna win in six and promptly get wiped out by House of Black in the same kind of ladder match and I stand by my hunch being better than what we got.

Good show, but a weird show.

What a show!

Yep. Pretty darned good couple hours of that professional wrestling right there.

i am off to work now so no time to list all the things I loved.

The BEST thing? 

In my opinion it was when the camera pulled way back for Adam Cole's return before quickly pulling in for a close-up.

 

You know I'm all about the ZOOM! (Bay bay).

Penta was annoying me even more than usual which is saying something. Can't stand the fucker where taunt makes up 90% of his repertoire.

Saw a tweet where someone was hoping he'd climb the ladder and stop on every single rung to do his taunt.

So we all agree the funniest thing on this show was Takeshita actually leaving the ring and letting MJF talk that shit for another five minutes, right?

He is very polite and listened to the ref.
