Technico Support Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Damn, this looks like a fun show. Looking forward to skits where Chuck fucks up his young boy tasks on purpose to screw Miro over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I can already imagine the shit JR will say about Chuck's body and what people on here will say. I saw a clip of Chuck's match with Ricochet from PWG that made me go back and watch that match. Fuck the haters and naysayers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 It sucks that Thunder Rosa supposedly came into contact with a COVID positive person, so we don't get Rosa/Baker tonight - but a nice consolation prize is the Dynamite debut of the Waiting Room. I'm sure Britt will rip on Cody, much to the delight of many on here. I'm housesitting tonight for my parents, I've got a six pack, and this'll be the first time in months that I've watched Dynamite live. I'm looking forward to it. PAC/Kingston is going to fucking rule. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you've gone and reminded me of that Best Friends vs ZSJ/Scurll program, which was so great.

Craig H Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 And although it's going to bum me out when Chuck loses, at least he'll hopefully get more air time. Jesus, he's going to bump like crazy for Miro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alvarez had a fun angle idea where he loses, then uses his time as Miro's young boy to get inside info of Kip & Penelope's wedding so the Best Friends can sabotage it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Yeah, looks like a really solid line up. Most excited for PAC/Kingston. Darby Allin is going to do something very inadvisable, that should be fun. Kind of hoping this is the end of Team Taz running away from Sting but I assume there's some form of tag match in the future. How far away is Revolution? 6 weeks? Dare they keep it going that long?

Death From Above Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I really liked the main event for what it was. Kingston/Pac was good too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 That might've been one of the most entertaining shows they've pulled off. And yes, he is one crazy motherfucker. JR starting the show off with "It's Wednesday, and you know what time that is!" cracked me up. So did Eddie pushing back at PAC from his knees like a school kid that won't give up the fight, and getting Popeye face then looking directly at the camera and coming out of it. Such great selling all through that match. I just wish he'd win sometime. Johnny Spotlight or whatever his name was got the shit kicked out of him pretty good. The Baker segment was ridiculous. I guess Reba's the new Tony Atlas. Should probably watch this back because I didn't pay full attention to all of it, but nothing I saw actively sucked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodyslamdunk Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 The Bucks/Good Brothers swerve is a great example that “predictable” doesn’t have to equal “bad.” They hinted at it, without making it extremely obvious, but the delivery by Callis and the commentators made it feel organic. Tay Conti has room to grow but man it’s night and day from her NXT run to now, much improved. Forgot about TK starting to license tunes until Jurassic Express came out. Props to that, music licensing is STUPID expensive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I at first thought he would say it maybe just once after the tribute show. But if he's still saying it then that indicates it's gonna be a regular thing which I'm very happy to hear. And the show was really, really great. The Elite story had me absolutely glued the whole time and the matches delivered. Can't ask for much more on a Wednesday night. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) Pretty much everything hit. Awesome episode with great matches to bookend some really good angles. Darby vs. Big dudes is one of my favourite things in wrestling. This wasn't quite the Walter classic but it was perhaps Cage's best match I've seen and I like him. Kingston vs Pac was an ideal opener because it brought the intensity and selling/psychology without emptying the chamber and leaving the rest of the show something to offer and it didn't feel like a feud ender either. Pac should bear Kingston in a straight singles match. Oh and Cody got got and that slap exchange was money.

Curt McGirt Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 One pet peeve I had, I don't get how having someone in a Gory Special while you're standing on the middle rope hurts them more (from the women's match). Also, the other Gory Special (from the Express/FTR match) was super hurty since he's so little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Pretty underwhelming show. Every match going through picture and picture is a little tedious. Omega and the Good Brothers versus the jobbers went on way too long. FTR versus Jungle Boy and Marko Stunt definitely didn’t need a commercial break. Stunt should not be wrestling on national tv, it’s embarrassing and I don’t know if I could come up with a way to make them look worse. I enjoyed Darby getting rag dolled with those nasty bumps but the finish was pretty lame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Man, Pac/King was such a good, strong match. Love how nasty and aggressive Pac has been, even though he’s ostensibly the face in all this (though still entering from the heel ramp!), and nobody goes out on his shield like King. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I loved Serena/Tay, thought both looked great there. Always dig just seeing Serena in the spot she's in now. Tarzan Boy is the best theme, already adds to the Jurassic Express. the Elite post-match chaos was fun. Big Money Matt is amusing. Laughed at the "Sammy/Hagar" bit with the Inner Circle. I personally enjoyed the Hager/Jericho team as the team going after the titles initially rather than Jericho/MJF. Liking the build for Britt/Rosa. Cage/Darby was pretty cool with some killer bumps and a good amount of blood. Didn't think Darby would lose his first defense but they did a good job with near falls throughout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peck Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 A stipulation where Chuck Taylor has to be Miro's butler??? You KNOW Tony Khan still reads the board. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I thought Chuck/Miro was pretty smartly laid out. Chuck got all of his offense after jumping Miro from behind and using environmental hazards outside of the ring, but the moment Miro was able to get a moment to regather himself in the ring, it was over pretty emphatically. Now we’ll see if finally, maybe this story will ever go anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Man, I really enjoyed tonight's episode. Super, super fun. Great opener between Pac and Eddie. Thought Chuck vs Miro was good enough and Miro looks like such a badass. Popped pretty big for the Dark Order segment. Smart of them to start using them like their BTE selves. The swerve with the Good Brothers was so obvious, but still well worked. I like that the fans started chanting for the Young Bucks before Callis called out the Good Brothers. The Inner Circle fights among themselves, just fucking about and playing no role with the rest of the roster is getting pretty tired. Fucking really dug that main event. Popped big every time Darby flipped off Cage or kicked out at one. Kinda sucked that Cage didn't kick out at 3 on that one move near the corner. Stuff like that bugs me, but the finish was still good and felt like a big win for Darby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they might pull the trigger on her tonight, and would have been happy if they did. Becoming a fan of hers rapidly. Anna and Tay are going to be a big part of AEW's future. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 So Danny Limelight is really good. Anyone not seeing the value in Marko Stunt now has to be indulging in some sort of ideological myopia. And Fite.tv screwed us buy not showing any Wrestling during picture in pitcher. Also someone called Chuck Taylor "Diet Bradshaw" and I laughed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
