stuntmanc Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 Odds on Cage/Danielson being yet another finalist in the weekly "Best Match" poll? Danielson is just on another level and that's not taking anything away from Takeshita/Bandido or Brian Cage 1

Casey Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 Perhaps I’m in the minority but I thought the Bandido match was kind of a mess. They didn’t seem to gel that well together. Shit, I thought Jericho/Bandido was better. But the Takeshita match fucked pretty hard. 1
The Natural Posted January 23, 2023 Author Posted January 23, 2023 Looking forward to find out while watching the show who Bryan Danielson will wrestle on next week's AEW Dynamite.
stuntmanc Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 The people who don't like the MJF "Run the gauntlet" gimmick must just ignore the level of awesome we get with each one. It's the schtick that has given us weekly Danielson matches, Wardlow powerbombing "Big Bill" and got us Nick Gage on live TV with a pizza cutter. I hope he never steps using it. 16 1

That gimmick has given so much, "Wait! He's facing who?!?!" moments in the last couple years. This week's show is taking place about an hour from me. Closest AEW has come to us. I can't believe I'm not going. Little man is not happy with me, but I can't justify him being out that late on a school night. 3

I mean, we got a Juvi match last year or the year before, FFS. It's such a great device to 'bring in X outside talent', as is/was the TNT title open with Cody and now Darby. 3

On the other hand I'm in Lexington and I'm taking my boy, but at least we won't have that long drive home. First wrestling live event I've attended since college. I'm facing the hard cam in row B above the floor seating so we might even make it on the TV quite a bit. 6
Casey Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 I expect an Angelico match any week now. That seems right up Danielson’s alley. 6 1
Log Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 We need Danielson/Jarrett with JJ in full-on Memphis bullshit mode. Danielson as Lawler might be a Danielson we’ve never seen. 15 5

There are 5 more weeks until Revolution, and I absolutely hope these are two of them - really excellent suggestions. I want these both badly, maybe just as much or more than I want anyone from outside AEW. I've mentioned before, but I've done a total 180 on Jarrett this last month or so, and I think they could have a legitimately fun, really smartly paced match. Angelico, no explanation necessary, that's a no brainer I think at least 5-10 of us have wanted since day one. As long as we're throwing names out, some other oddball Danielson matches I'd be into, not necessarily part of this gauntlet even: * AR Fox - psyched to see him getting a shot on a national stage and he's been great so far, and was there live for his first two matches back so am super biased. If they're not gonna run with the trio w Top Flight, he ought to do something with Darby at some point too. * Chuck Taylor - Trent has had a handful of big singles matches, and of course OC is a titleholder right now (to say nothing of the merch machine that is Danhausen or Statlander's rumored trajectory pre-injury) but I think people forget what Chuck is capable of - they had a pretty good one 100 years ago in (I think?) Chikara IIRC, and IMO getting a nice, semi-(let's say 3/4)-serious in tone singles bout on TV might go a long way for him. * Any of the HoB really, but most specifically Brody King - I always love when he bullets around for a big boy, I expect Cage this week to be no exception, but I think Brody's got more of a rugged style, they might mesh a bit better I was only going to give three, but in typing the above, I'll also just throw Hobbs and Wardlow's names out for similar reasons (minus the Brody-specific stuff obviously). The question is: do you run it back with Joe in 2023, or leave the memories alone? The Punk bullshit makes me think do it while you can

That just makes me wonder if someway, somehow, we get AEW bringing in ZSJ as the final opponent for Danielson. Or Danielson vs MiSu 2 where at the end MJF makes the grave error of getting in MiSu's face and we end Dynamite with MiSu slapping the shit out of MJF. 5

Danielson vs. Suzuki II is one of my most anticipated AEW rematches. MJF making the biggest error of his life slapping Murder Grandpa. 2

Craig H Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 Knowing TK and how he likes to dig into the past, he's probably trying to bring in Paul London for a one shot. 1

hammerva Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 So either Tony was able to stand up to the execs and told them we are getting Mark Briscoe no matter what or this is going to be some incredible bullshit that is going to pissed off a ton of people

Off the top of my head, Big Cass/Ass at WWE Great Balls of Fire 2017 and vs. Miro at AEW Full Gear 2021. That was so disappointing. 4 minutes ago, Pete said: Big wow.

The Natural will be beefing in the early hours of Thursday morning. Amazing this is happening. Kudos to Tony Khan and particularly Mark Briscoe. 5
