elizium Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Some egregious spray tans on the show tonight. Adam Cole's pale fingers, Juice and Toni as the orange power couple, and Action Andretti's hair colour blending into his body 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just drew Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Also, I still need someone to explain Adam Cole’s appeal to me. I still believe 90% of his popularity can be attributed to being HBK’s “guy” when nXt was at its hottest. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Log Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Highlight of the show for me was when Shida laid out Storm before the match and Mercedes debuted as Saraya’s partner! 4 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elizium Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Also, I complained about this in the discord, but how dare they disrespect the 1989 Los Angeles Kings like that. They beat the Edmonton Oilers in game 7 at the Great Western Forum (I don't know who this kia is?) in the first round 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLowe Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) Wasn't able to devote my full attention because, that's right, I'm in a hotel watching while working. Page vs. Mox was what we wanted and what we expected, and now your 2022 AEW MVP and possible WOTY Mox gets his vacation even though I'm not wild about a fake concussion angle. Hey, it's Adam Cole. Time to turn my focus back onto all the emails. He's happy to be back, I'll try and give him another try. I think the JungleHook vs. Firm match was in here. Kept my focus on emails, only guy I really care about is Moriarty. Credit to Big Bill for getting a good jump and tuck on the T-bone. MJF, on the other hand, has fully become Go Away Heat from me. So long-winded, so redundant, so predictable. I was worried it was going to kill the buzz I had for the upcoming match. I did give my undivided attention to Takeshita and Danielson and I was fully rewarded. I know Matt D hated it but I loved it, multiple out of the chair moments (that NASTY brainbuster on the floor! The Everest German!), 5 stars from JLowe. Made Lard Lad look like a total killer, made Danielson look vincible, and then the show of respect at the end. JAS-Starks/Andretti segment was just bad but maybe some good matches will come out of it. Women's tag was great although it only got about 70% attention (not an insult to the participants, a timing issue). The Shida part was clever if nothing unique, a good way to advance the various angles and dissension. I'd probably have this as second best match of the night. Ladder match was a big ol' spotfest that mostly left me cold. Probably because at this point they've run most of those big spots 2 or 3 times. I think match 5 might have been the best? Free Rey Fenix. I've got a lot of AEW to watch/rewatch once I get home on Saturday. Because, as Dean says, AEW RULES THE FUCKING WORLD Edited January 12 by JLowe 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkenhead Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I have to ask. Is someone backstage trying to sabotage Ricky Starks? "Make sure to make fun of a person's speech impediment" doesn't seem like very sage advice to give. I love AEW, and I will always watch and root for them. Having said that, between the misogyny and ableism lately, you would think it was AEW courting the Saudis, not Vince. Do better AEW. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's better off as a face, with his moveset and uhhhh shape, which hopefully he will be since he got the welcome back promo 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Easily one of the best Dynamites ever. The best thing about Adam Cole's appearance was that it was a complete surprise. We had no idea he was showing up tonight. No teases, no make sure you tune in for blah blah blah. It was a complete surprise, a total rarity these days in wrestling. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, when I was making my list of Bryan Danielson matches as part of the angle where he has to win every match to get an AEW World Championship match, I forgot about Bandido. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Hangman get's the belt back I want him to main event dynamite against Jeff Jarrett as sort of a neo- Flair v Magnum TA Tony faking us out by making us thing he was introducing MJF was nice two hours that really flew by 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both talking segments MJF and JAS went way too long. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 (edited) Legit LOL Ricky Starks issuing a challenge for a match next week with Jake Hager that was already announced earlier on the show. Excalibur had to try to explain it. Piss poor coordination there. Edited January 12 by The Natural 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
