It's Homecoming night as AEW returns to Jacksonville!  Here's what's on tap:

Enjoy your week, and if you live in the US, your long weekend*. 

 

(*Not you South Carolina.)

That graphic is missing the two 8 person tags that seemingly Brodie Lee Jr booked.

Willow/Stat/Anna Jay/Rosa versus Saraya/Ruby/Julia/Skye

Copeland/OC/Dustin/Preston versus Gates of Agony/Brian Cage/Archer

It's Arizona that didn't observe MLK Day for years, not South Carolina. Gotta stick up for my home state when someone makes us sound even worse than we are.

Kudos to @Dolfan in NYCfor another actual-LOL-funny thread title. You've been on a roll, my friend!

It's been probably over a decade since I've been down your way, so things may have changed since, but you guys still had the God-given freedom to smoke in bars and diners, and most everything was a literal 30% cheaper than up here - you will never, ever catch me say a bad word about SC!

Great looking homecoming show. Most looking forward towards Claudio Castagnoli vs. Hangman Adam Page and Samoa Joe.

Same here, dude. Claudio/Hanger should be a bomb fest. Besides trios matches I don't *think* they've touched on AEW TV yet, so it's always great to have something fresh (or fresh-FEELING, anyway, in the event I'm just forgetting).

Also: perhaps I'm overstating things a bit here, so someone bring me back to Earth if that's the case: I feel like this one is a must, must, MUST-win for Starks, is it not?

Neither here nor there, but I think there was some light touching between the two during Blood and Guts last year! But this is pretty much one of the top opponents for Hangman! Also, soon, Samoa Joe!

Good looks! I knew there would be some multimans I forgot (plus the big takeaway from that one was PAC and his NOSEBOOOONE which I have thought about at least once per day for the last nine months). I was just half-worried they pumped out some crazy six-star-singles match that I spaced on

Claudio vs Hangman is one of those match combos they should have been doing a version of every week on TV when they were doing BCC vs Elite. But better late than never. Now do Nick Jackson vs Yuta. 

Honestly, no complaints about any of the matches this week, and there’s potential for some fun interactions in the eight person tags. This is good!

Things I remember from this week's edition of AEW Dynamite:

Fun one with Page and Claudio as Hangman is getting a rocket strapped on him yet again.

Some real "dudes we haven't seen on Dynamite lately" energy from the men's 8 man tag. Does Jake just live in Jacksonville and not travel anymore?

Swerve wants Joe! Page wants Joe and Swerve! Hook just got a World Title Match for next week!

We got 8 women in a match! Also Thunder Rosa teaming with Britt's friends.

Sammy and Ricky Starks have a fun one, then Sammy looks like an idiot taking a handshake and getting jumped. Also Chris Jericho shows up.

Roddy wins, Cole talks, Handsome Wardlow stands in the background

Swinging Darby directly into the ropes is crazy for even Darby. Then Ric Flair wanders into the ring to hit the 2 moves he can safely do on Hobbs. Wouldn't Sting take more of the impact on that Scorpion Death Drop though a table?

And Sting's final opponent is gonna be... the Young Bucks. Well, that sabbatical is over. The Bucks now look like villains from a Miami Vice episode. Like they're engineering a coup in Ecuador to keep the cocaine trade going.

Anyways, Daly's Plaza is a nice looking community theatre of a venue. It's like holding a wrestling show in a place that hosts Nickelodeon game shows as a primary source of income.

Wrestling isn’t math but almost every Hangman match can be judged on when and how he uses the Death Valley Driver. As a big comeback move bridging two sections of heat as per the AEW tv house style? That’s one of the good ones.

I went to a Nickelodeon game show! It was Arcade, at Universal Studios in Orlando. I had to lie about my age and failed when asked but the guy let me in anyway. Go figure. Anyway yeah, building looked about like that. They did everything on a big green screen. It was totally uninteresting. 

Anywho, this was basically just a "crowd-pleaser" episode, meaning it was totally ephemeral and really, rather uninteresting. 

The 8-man was good enough. Thought Archer was gonna end up turning on his team but no. The pounce was pretty neat and nasty and I dug Orange finally getting his chokeslam. The final lariat was awful but at least they used it. 

The HOOKSIGNAL showing up in the sky was pretty fucking funny. 

Guevara is a face again so I had even less interest in a match with him than I usually would. The finish... what the fuck was that?

Women's match had all the silly shit you expect: eight-person suplex, everyone knocks each other down in a row. I liked the part where consecutive members kept tagging in to beat on Ruby. 

UPHOLSTERY MAN returns! Lock up your grandmother's couch, he's gonna expose himself and strip it for parts! Match was fine. Darby wrecked his neck on the bottom rope which they're happy to show in slo-mo. Takeshita is too thick to take a step to the right so Darby also basically takes a 20 foot back bump onto the stage. Sting proves the collective team is certifiable with that table bump. Bucks have '70s porn mustaches now showing that they mean BUSINESS. And that they can grow facial hair like big boys.

the Bucks will intensify their feud with Sting by selling smokes to high school kids

which should lead to the return of surfer Sting reminding kids to Just Say No
