Dynamite - The 2 Year Anniversary - 10/6/2021
MrKothoga replied to Dolfan in NYC's topic in ALL ELITE WRESTLING
I want Lio Rush vs. Matt Hardy in a Client-they-are-both-fighting-for-on-a-Forklift Match. Matt Hardy even has a AEW history with a forklift. It writes itself. Albeit that history sucks. -
So, I’m working in child and youth services over here in Germany and every few weeks I’m watching AEW while “working” when I couldn’t make the time to watch live or before going to work. Today I was watching a little Rampage and two thirteen-year-old boys who know absolutely nothing about wrestling recognized Orange Cassidy. Told me how cool his whole hands-in-his-pocket-thing is and that they’ve seen him on TikTok several times. Thought that was kinda cool. Also, I’m really glad that AEW has one advertised women’s match on almost every show because our ten-year-old girl always asks when/if women are wrestling.

I get the feeling that Hangman somehow already feels like a relic from a long forgotten AEW past... but everytime I see Kenny and the Elite or Dark Order I'm longing for his return. Danielson v Kenny was just magnificent. I couldn't stop smiling.

I really don't have a problem with Mox-Suzuki going short. I like short matches. But cutting Kaze Ni Nare is pretty much unforgivable.

You could still freebird it with Penta and Pac to avoid the inevitable. I know that Kojima seems kinda underwhelming as opponent for Moxley, but I love it. Kojima was one of the main reasons I got into puroresu and I still really like him in the ring though he's obviously lost a step or two. And I'm really hoping that Kojima will heel it up against Moxley.

I was really expecting MJF to say "Not once, not twice, but thrice"... and I was very dissapointed that he didn't say it like that.

AEW Rampage: The First Dance - 8/20/21
MrKothoga replied to John from Cincinnati's topic in ALL ELITE WRESTLING
Feels weird when professional wrestling simply just delivers what everyone assumed was going to happen. That was fun. And I'm hyped for Punk and Malakai sitting across each other.- 440 replies

I wanna say wrestling really is lacking more matches where both opponents just say "fuck it, I'm throwing my best shit at you from the get go", but then I remembered that WWE tried that and it was so so lame. So I wanna say, please wrestling around the world, do more matches where both opponents just say "fuck it, I'm throwing my best shit at you from the get go", but not like WWE did. What I'm trying to say is the world needs more Shibata Ishi G1 2013 (minus the headbutts). Give me people like Hangman, Moxley, Kingston, Archer, Miro, Black, Pac, Wardlow, Hobbs and Darby trying to emulate that. Kinda different theme, forgive me, but you saying that it "felt like both guys were actually desperate to win from the get go and there was no finisher spam" kinda triggered me, even though Taker-Punk is 20 plus minutes long.

They are the team you'd always sign on EWR several years ago even though you've never seen them wrestle before because their stats and low wage were just to good to pass up.

I'm still all in for a trios title. Lucha rules, ten minute time limit, something like that to make it stand out even more in comparison to "normal" tag titles. Just give me some nine minute bangers with all these trios and groups they established by now.

AEW Dynamite - 7/14/2021 - Fyter Fest Night One
MrKothoga replied to Gordi the BJW fan's topic in ALL ELITE WRESTLING
I am so ready for a fan made video package set to My Way by Limp Bizkit. "I need to beat you Kenny. I need it more than anything you could ever imagine. There can be only one All Elite Wrestling champion. And that will be, Kenny, Hangman Adam Page." -

I think the value here is to start the push of Yuka for a program with Britt. -
Well, he's a heel champion and he wants people to universally dislike him... so Austin Aries might just be what he's going for.

Who brings a sign that reads "Persona 5 sucks" to a wrestling show? Persona 5 is fucking great and even if you don't like it, why would you bring that sign to AEW? So random and I can't stop thinking about it.

WEDNESDAY Night Dynamite - 6/30/2021
MrKothoga replied to Gordi the BJW fan's topic in ALL ELITE WRESTLING
Well, to be fair, Matt Sydal is not really a jobber but more a midcarder who beats people like Jack Evans, Dante Martin, Joey Janela und unsigned talent and loses to people like Kenny Omega, Christian Cage and Cody Rhodes (and Brian Cage, Eddie Kingston and Shawn Spears to be complete). Labelling him as just a jobber is a tad bit hard and inflationary. And as boring a character I think he is, Matt Sydal going ten plus minutes with a at least semi-talented wrestler usually is some good quality tv wrestling. -

This whole story has to end with Anna Jay on a Forklift!

https://twitter.com/MadKing1981/status/1405189838438084608 Eddie Kingston should headline that NYC show in a losing effort against Tanahashi or Akiyama. He'd probably die of happiness right after that match.

Friday Night Dynamite - 6/4/2021
MrKothoga replied to John from Cincinnati's topic in ALL ELITE WRESTLING
Penta went from smart to stupid in a matter of seconds in that opener. Really liked the mask under his mask but he looked like a fool after that. Just take care of the other guy not interrupting the pin and you’re winning the match but Penta just stood there and looked how their win got taken away. I kinda like how Andrade just debuted lowkey without much fanfare but it also felt weird. People wanna boo Vickie but don’t wanna boo Andrade debuting and the audience obviously didn’t really got the announcement of Vickie at first because they were so invested in hating her. Ogogo and QT vs. Cody and Johnson… Scott Keith may say that it's 'Perfectly Acceptable Wrestling', but not for me, buddy. Got to work harder to impress me. Jungle Christian vs. Hardy Party after that was perfectly fine then but nothing out of the ordinary either. Inner Circle face promos are boring and I’m really not that interested to see more of them against the Pinnacle. Kenny and Callis are insufferable (in a good way!). Hook looks just so punchable and I love Ricky, Cage and Hook acting passive aggressive to one another. Velvet against Bunny was, I guess. Britts title celebration was underwhelming. Miro thanking god for his power and hot wife is exactly the way god should be referenced on a wrestling show. Miro is all around greatness. Main Event could’t really hold my interest. Show was somewhat bland. QT and the gang vs. Cody and the gang, Inner Circle vs. Pinnacle and Ego Sky vs. Darby Sting all seem to continue and I’m really not interested in any of these programs right now. But I’m all for Orange vs. Kenny continuing. And please more of Miro killing loveable dorks of Dark Order until someday in the far future John Silver gets the TNT title back to Dark Order. -
Well, they payed Knox on the new BTE.

We can see Tony Khan grow into a great performer before our own eyes. We'll be so happy when he wins the Casino Battle Royale in 2039. -
ProFightDb says she had her first match ever on Apr 21st 2021 losing to Penelope Ford on Dark, then lost to Nyla on May 5th, lost to Rosa on May 13th, lost to Megan Bayne in WWR on May 16th in her first match ever outside AEW and that's apparently her whole career.

Come on, that's just hating for the sake of wanting to hate. Britt challenging for the title started after St. Patrick's Day Slam in March (though it sucks that the build up is all about Britt and nothing about Shida). Brian Cage being a roadblock for Hangman started one month ago. Sting/Darby vs. Scorpio/Ego started with Scorpio losing to Darby in March. Cody vs. QT and his peers started in March (though the USA vs. GB comes out of nowhere and can fuck off). And Young Bucks vs. Moxley/Kingston and Inner Circle vs. Pinnacle are obviously going on longer. World title and TNT title haven't really been build up that much, I give you that. I don't think that's a problem with the TNT title, which has been featured just fine in the last weeks, it just isn't woven into a story culminating at the PPV. But your world title being an afterthought is bad.

Jungle Boy winning the Battle Royale and then losing the title match would be a nice next step for him though. Obvious winner is Christian and not really much else. I'm fine with that. Just give me and extended period of Jungle Boy and Christian as the last two.
