Coletti Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 My sister in law and 4.5 year old nephew were in town tonight and Dynamite was on throughout the evening and both were totally transfixed. AEW absolutely made two new fans tonight even on an off night. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a little sad he didn't do the stand on chest pin like he did to Cody though to really put over Black Mass as a murder move. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 People probably don't catch each other like that on dives because they don't want their faces to end up looking like Matt Hardy's tonight. Speaking of which, how funny is it that the first show since CM Punk returned they not only book like an episode of Dark but actually start with Orange Cassidy and Matt Hardy having an ankle kick/DELETE back and forth? Tony is really willing to double down on his product. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Oof, yeah, I like Kojima but that’s a pretty lame All Out match for Mox. Kojima was just in Impact doing jobs for Eric Young’s group, so there’s not even any novelty to him being in the States. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got tickets to the upcoming GCW New York Show for Suzuki and it was announced today his opponent is Homicide. The thought Suzuki and Archer reuniting for a match in AEW on top of that, well, there's a Krieger from Archer gif I don't think would be appropriate to post 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 That show kinda felt like they were experimenting with ways to pace a show that aren't the "everything builds to a big last segment because we gotta win the ratings" method that has been used for years even when there's no competition to the show. This felt more like it climaxed with Punk and the Darby six man and the rest was the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Not the biggest feeling show coming off of Rampage, but still enjoyable, and always feels like a ton of stuff going on everywhere which is fun. Cassidy/Matt was solid with more unintentional blood and Lucha/Varsity was good. Agreed that Hayter looked great. Wasn't sure at first if Red Velvet just overshot that moonsault or what but they went straight to the finish. Red's dives did look good. Another great Punk promo. Fun six man... definitely was not expecting Kojima to be Moxley's All Out opponent. After realizing recently it wasn't gonna be Tanahashi, I thought for sure that Suzuki would be the next choice. I like Kojima, but it definitely feels like a lesser step down and less special of a PPV opponent for Moxley, especially since Kojima just had a month run in Impact. Loved the Christian/Elite seg and a nice set up for a Rampage tag. COLTEN GUNN! Definitely here for that push, keep it coming. Still wish Lambert was backing a tag team of Arlovski & Dos Santos. Nice closing match/angle with Malakai. I'm guessing Cody's staying gone a while longer so it'll be the second year he misses All Out. All Out is coming together nicely with a stacked looking lineup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone watching for the first time gets the full Cassidy experience, meanwhile Hardy is a guy who might be a bit broken down, but still has a bit of that WWF cachet, and really brought his working boots here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I suspect they may have been trying to pace the night so as not to burn the crowd before the Rampage taping but ended up under-doing it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only Sept 2 - Oct 9. then he has the Jericho Cruise (Oct 21-25). and thats it until 2 weeks in the UK in December and 4 days in Australia in Feb - with those 2 parts being the only ones that would include Wednesdays 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakk_Sabbath Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 With the benefit of hindsight, I'd have probably had Black go over Cody a second time tonight in a slightly more competitive match, and then had Cody cut basically the same promo as Jericho did tonight in a few weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
