Dolfan in NYC Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 We're almost ready for Dynasty! Hopefully the only footage they'll show this week is that of the new IWGP World Heavyweight Champion: Spoiler You spare the child and spoil the Rod... I have not sold myself to God! *guitar riff* (oh, you probably shouldn't mention the Patti Smith song I referenced. ANYWHO... enjoy the week! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Log Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 At this point, I really have come to admire AEW’s insistence that we never ever just “hear from” Chris Jericho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to make a list of all the dumb terms they've used to try to disguise "hey it's a promo seg." How they haven't gotten to "scrum" yet is anyone's guess. Honestly, Chris' next reinvention should be a middle manager type who talks in business buzzwords. He should tell Hook that they'll take this offline and circle back to touch base on their action items so they can strategize once they've gotten a 10,000 foot view and buy-in from the leadership. 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 From last week's thread: The winner of the 2nd Owen Hart Cup was Ricky Starks, Jushin Liger was to present the trophy but Ricky just brushed him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only gave the trophy cause we don't have the emote where the lil guy is smiling upside down and melting because he's currently on an endless call where these words are all in heavy, heavy rotation to the point of parody 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also that last sentence is triggering for someone who is using his lunch break to get away from the corporate world. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryArchieGus Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 The Starks/Liger confrontation was completely forgettable. And completely awful. I really wish the Owen was handled with a lot more care. It's not special and I fear it never will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Cassidy vs Taylor should be great fun. Hopefully Trent causes Cassidy to lose since Taylor could use the win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naaaah, Liger seems to have a spectacular sense of humor, and since he's already retired at it's not like we were going to get a match. I'm happy to agree to disagree though! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one has bum out heat with me. I hope Trent runs in to tease a spear and they all hug instead, and say "Just kidding, we devised this scheme to get TV time so we could ask the Acclaimed/Bullet Club for a shot at the Trios titles" and then it's never, ever brought up again. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I guess I do have to admit it's both nice to see them all featured, and it's also a logistical way to spread them out a bit more among all the different shows in different denominations so I'd be fine with it from that standpoint, but I've always been steadfastly of the opinion that it would be sacrilege to split them up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Things I Remember from this week's edition of AEW Dynamite: Missed the first 10 minutes because I turned from Big Bang Theory to MLB Network baseball and forgot to turn back until 7:10 my time so I missed whatever Moxley said. So.. the heel advantage in the Copeland/Willow-Brody/Julia match was that Copeland would have to work exclusively with Brody, because it's not like Julia is actually doing anything physical so they had to layout Willow to cover for that. Also, nice team communication between Copeland and Willow to have Julia lay out Willow and Copeland ignore that and run right past them to take out Brody (how many times has this promotion done the "uh oh, my partner was just layed out in the back and I didn't discover it until I was in the ring" thing? did it multiple times with the Devil angle) also Mercedes did some more stuff The Bucks interrupt a video package and then they face the team of Pac, Penta and Daniel Garcia. From what I recall that seemed like a fun matchup. Chris Jericho looks more and more like Randy the Ram every day. Meanwhile Hook managed to look older than usual with that outfit. Chris Jericho needs to bring back Sammy dressed like Hook so that he can have his own Hook. (actually he needs to take a break but Chris Jericho will never evar do that) Shane Taylor has a big ass. The flag burial thing is still kinda goofy. I got Seth Rollins at WM40 vibes from Trent emerging from the shadows to wipe out guys with a chair as they ran down the ramp. I remembered nothing from Mariah/Deonna except Deonna ran wild at the end. Claudio/Ospreay was a fun one.. but that's not what's closing this card so, we get a Joe sitdown, a Swerve sitdown, and then Swerve comes out to close out the card. AEW continues their war on Modern Family reruns. Apparently all the staff is surrounding Joe to prevent him from doing anything. Also they're here so that Swerve can dive on all of them. Joe standing tall, so maybe they'll change the title. Or not. Who knows. PPV's on Sunday! Got 3 consecutive hours of AEW on Saturday night! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Claudio Castagnoli is one of the best wrestlers ever. One of the strongest and best bases also. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLowe Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I liked Hook better when he didn’t talk...and I didn’t like him then. An all time epic dumpster fire of a segment. Claudio-Ospreay was fucking phenomenal. Also Callis was great on the announce. Cassidy-Shane matched incredibly well, definitely a surprise banger. Mariah-Deonna was solid and could’ve used some of the time given to Jericho-Hook, and also Taz focusing more on that match and not his fucking knee. That’s my immediate thoughts. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Hook was dressed like a recent HS grad who is working at a garage and insisting he'll go to a 4 year university after spending time at a JC that he isn't enrolled at what i'm trying to say is that Hook looked very Italian tonight 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Claudio/Ospreay was awesome, but that's no surprise. I'm looking forward to this weekend. Three hours of wrestling on Saturday and Dynasty, which will probably clock in around five hours. Good thing I don't have to be up early Monday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
