AEW Dynamite - 12/2/2020

[Dolfan in NYC]

Please set your DVR's to add like 30 minutes.  

 

 

[The Natural]

Big edition of AEW Dynamite tonight, DVDVR Family. Expect Jon Moxley's 10 month reign as AEW World Champion to end by Kenny Omega. Unless there's a surprise and Moxley winds up retaining?

[The Natural]

 

[Flair’s Shadow]

Baby this is it!

New AEW World Champion Kenny Omega!

New world changing AEW/NJPW relationship.

What an historic night coming up in 9 hours.

TNT is okay with an overrun?  SO THE EQUALIZER WON'T START ON TIME AT 10???

[RRR]

Let’s go Mox! 

[John from Cincinnati]

The Winter is Coming theme is lame. Unless they dress up to look like the Wall, in which case they should do this every year. Make it so!

Looking at the battle royal, there's a decent list of potential winners. To push along MJF angles, Sammy or Wardlow would probably be among the best potential finalists. But that one's difficult to narrow down. They could do MJF vs Page again for all I know. Or go completely off board with Miro vs Scorpio Sky or something.

Matt Hardy and Shawn Spears being in this thing while Jurassic Express is MIA is certainly a choice.

Meltzer said the battle royal will come down to the final two, with the final match taking place another day. Title match comes on last and will go over, so we won’t know when the ending will come. Should be fun. 

[Technico Support]

They should let Spears win it so he could have another gimmick to carry around with him :D 

[John from Cincinnati]

Is it really The Equalizer again this week? It can't be. This is a big night, so you gotta give the people a different look. I'd personally go with an airing of Deepwater Horizon.

No idea.  I'm just making a joke.  A few weeks ago I bitched about TNT airing the Equalizer AGAIN before Dynamite, and then it turned out they aired it the same night afterward, too!  :D

Five new names added to the battle royal:

• Jungle Boy
• Luther
• Serpentico
• Janela
• Lee Johnson

Really tells you where Jungle Boy stands when he's being chucked in with the afterthoughts. 

[zendragon]

Really looking forward to this. Has the feeling of an old school Clash of The Champions.

[EVA]

I really don’t know why they’ve cooled off on Jungle Boy the last few months.  I mean, he was in the eliminator tourney, yes, but he really hasn’t been given much to do outside of that.  Dude was on an insane run in the ring before being banished to Dark.

[zendragon]

I think its just they are quickly getting to the point of having more people on the roster than TV time to go around (plus Cody kinda turning into "Dusty booking himself as the center of the universe")

[EVA]

I mean, I guess they were pushing Darby hard during that window, and they are somewhat of a redundancy in the undersized babyface role, so maybe they were minimizing Jungle Jack to emphasize Darby, but still!  He’s in a tag team!  Do something with the tag team!

[zendragon]

Really hoping when ever this second show gets off the ground (AEW Saturday Night @ 6:05?) they use the time to highlight some of the mid-card and the womens division and not just double up on tv time for guys all ready featured 

[matt925]

Wind chill tonight will be in the 30s. At least guys shouldn’t be slipping off the ropes.

I know people push back on the notion of more belts, but the answer is trios belts with Jungle Boy, Luchasaurus, and Marko as the champs or always in the mix when they launch a second show.

Set with Winter is Coming lighting.

Tony Khan is open to the idea of a trios title.  The members of FTR have been vocal that they'd like to see trios titles in the future, but they believe that the book should be more aggressive in promoting the tag-team scene before moving to six-man belts.

I can't say that I blame them.  We need more Santana / Ortiz vs. Best Friends level tag-team booking than we do trios titles.  Right now, tag-team matches that don't have anything to do with the belts are treated as filler.

I agree that Jungle Boy is trapped in a booking vortex right now, but I wouldn't equate working on Dark to being banished.  The most entertaining feud in AEW, IMO, was between Brandon Cutler and Peter Avalon.   It was the only reason I kept up with and continue to watch Dark.

I was going to add that I was going to alter my DVR recording to add 30 minutes, but AEW is already scheduled to last until 11PM EST on the cable guide.  The "bonus time" for the main event appears to have already been build in.

I’m so freaking excited right now.
