The matches must be held in an AEW ring, as well as sanctioned by the athletic state department.

Cobra Commander Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 the tope with way too little room wasn't even the craziest/stupidest spot in the match.. I thought that going through the underside of a folded table was pretty stupidly risky too. we deserve a Leva Bates book reading as a palate cleanser after Omega/Janela. Also, when it comes to comparisons for what Dark is compared to Dynamite.... it seems more like Worldwide than Saturday Night.. maybe the Schiavone in a control center aspect of the show makes me think of Saturday afternoons of Worldwide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Gotta say, they deserve credit for going out there and working a long spotfest with a bunch of nasty bumps in front of a tired and fairly unresponsive audience. Wasn't really a match though. More of an endurance test. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Janela vs Omega was a bonkers ass match. Lots of fucking crazy spots as noted. I loved Excalibur’s call of “the pool is empty” when Janela went through that table off the ladder. Kenny pulling the table out from under the ring getting a pop tickles me. The two lasting impact from the “attitude era” seem to be table spots and worked shoots. my grope with the show was the 8 man. I really don’t think it fits The Dark Order to team up with people in multi man matches. They are done weird loner sex cult shouldn’t two of the gimps just be the two other men? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 pretty sure the main purpose of the dark match 8 man tag team matches involves getting some extra guys on the card who weren't on Dynamite. Another Janela/Omega note: good thing the emotion of indifference can be passed off as shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 That was something the camerapeople were killing it at, getting crowd reactions with a lot of people and their hanging jaws. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technico Support Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Nice Darby Allin writeup in Deadspin. Quote Today I am here to tell you that I would die for this skeleton twink. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Magnificent 7 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Nothing against Darby Allin, but that Buzzfeed style writing is so cringeworthy. Headlines like “Apologies to this hockey kid, but I am this kid’s mother now”...was Deadspin always 4th grade reading level? I tend to even like casual writing. That style is the worst, though. It’s maybe half a step above “Me, Grimlock like cake.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) And there was next to zero research done. I didn't care for it. edit: But if it gets a few more eyeballs on Darby that's cool. Edited October 17, 2019 by Oyaji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 As for the whole Marko Stunt size/credibility thing. There are pequeno luchadors in Mexico who are the same height as Marko, but some of them are also 40lbs heavier than Marko. So, just to put him in some international context. So with the expectations for guys in the US, Marko is sorta in the mascota realm in some people’s perceptions (although Marko is a foot-plus taller than the mascotas in Mexico) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEN! Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Stunt in a dinosaur costume sounds like the Dino-Mite mascot that Cody wants. You give him a big fanny pack full of t-shirts to toss at the marks on the way to the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Thinking about Marko more, I don't want to hear a fucking word about the guy anymore. We all accepted Spike Dudley and countless others, but Marko, who isn't even doing power moves, is where people draw the line? Fuck that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
