Zakk_Sabbath Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 That's gonna be a great one. Matt Sydal/Dante Martin should be fire. Excited to see what Hangman can do with Hobbs as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Great, seeing the Youtube thumbnail alone has that song stuck in my head. And I think you very much for that. I almost hate that I'm going out tomorrow night as it would have been nice to see this live. But we'll catch up Sunday morning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Santana & Ortiz's mentor, Konnan, will face-off with FTR's manager, Tully Blanchard. Uh, okay. Ethan Page versus Bear Bronson was announced, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shartnado Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) Since all of MFr's like Baltimora so much, you should open your eyes on to more Italo Disco, because that shit is amazing! Tell me Sunny Beach shouldn't have entered his UWF matches to "Vamos A La Playa" and you and I are gonna have 'em words!

Death From Above Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I spent a few minutes going through my TV listings going "what the fuck, was it on Wednesday and I missed it" only to discover that it's on Saturday this week.

tbarrie Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 So how do people see the main event going? I don't expect they'll put the title on Jungle Boy, but it would be pretty unsatisfying to go with another ending where Omega's cronies save his ass. It also wouldn't make a lot of in-universe sense, as Jungle Boy, unlike Moxley and other recent challengers, has a fucking dinosaur to watch his back.

John from Cincinnati Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Not just the dinosaur. He's also got Marko and possibly Christian if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see another crony-assisted victory, but hopefully Kenny can cheat to win on his own like a grown lad. I like JB but he's too bland on promos to get a title run atm imo. Better to stick with the Hangman switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, I'm not as down on Marko as a lot of people, but the difference in combat effectiveness between "a dinosaur" and "a dinosaur plus Marko Stunt" is pretty negligible.

Gordi the former AEW fan Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) I think it's interesting that every announced match is a singles match. I am not sure if this is the first time that's happened on Dynamite. Every match has something you can hang your hat on, in my opinion. Bear Bronson vs. Ethan Page I'm a huge fan of Bear Country. I'm not exactly sold on All Ego just yet. He's obviously a big strong guy but (allow me to step into the wrestling grandpa role here for a moment) he doesn't look like the kind of big strong guy who should be using a Razor's Edge type of manoeuvre as his finisher. If he hits the Ego's Edge on Bronson it will either look great or look stupid and I think that will have a big effect on my opinion of Page moving forward. Either way, I'm stoked for Bear Bronson on Dynamite. Dante Martin vs. Matt Sydal Veteran high flyer vs up and coming high flyer. Sounds good to me. Maybe they'll have Sydal take the youngster down to the mat. I'd be fine with that as well. Kris Statlander vs. The Bunny Aliens vs animals match-ups are always intriguing. Powerhouse Hobbs vs. Hangman Page Both men are big strong and athletic. Hobbs has a clear size and power advantage Page is maybe a little quicker and definitely more experienced. There's all kinds of sub-stories going on with Team Tazz but I hope they let this match go to a clean finish before advancing the angles. Speaking of angle advancement: As @Caseypoints out, a Tully/Konnan confrontation has been announced. I'm always happy for more Tully on my screen. I think that something leading up to MJF and Sammy Guevara's June 30 main event match is planned as well. It wouldn't surprise me to see some advancement in the Darby/Sting/Jerks and Christian/Hardy angles as well. AEW Championship Match: Kenny Omega (c) vs. Jungle Boy I don't want to get anyone's expectations up too high, but I feel like these two might put on an OK match.

Long intro but the astoundingly bad English at :50 and the hook at 1:16 provide momentum that the track never loses. Anyways, wrestling. I read a Jungle Boy interview where he said he's "not a promo guy" and that he runs away from the cameras when AEW asks him to cut one. Hypocritically, I think this should disqualify him from winning any title any time soon & I think Kenny Omega should consider also running away from the cameras. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of Italo Disco is not English language, despite being "in English". Have you heard Den Harrow? Jesus fuck! That's some bad English! Ken Laszlo was featured on an Italove track. That is the most amazing modern Italo Disco pastiche artist! Edited June 26, 2021 by Shartnado Bad English... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Hobbs/Page needs to have some kind of wacky finish to push forward the Taz vs Cage angle, but the match should be great until then. Probably the match on the show that best fits my aesthetic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Do Tully and Konnan have some sorta beef, or is this another AEW wacky pairing like trotting out Eric Bischoff every so often? And man, when AEW gets in front of fans in other cities again, Adam Page is gonna be gigantically over with the "cowboy shit" chant and the drinking with the fans. He's gonna be over-the-top big and the no-brainer guy to beat Omega for the title. His "cooled-down" push at Daily's' Place is simply saving him for bigger shit down the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 In the Stadium Stampede II match, Tully and Konnan found themselves on opposite sides of a pier sixer. But Konnan can't move around too well or take bumps any more, so physicality is a big ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peck Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Hope Bunny is okay. I guess she needed checked out after the Statlander match. That Big Bang Theory always makes me cringe.
