HarryArchieGus Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) The Line-up: Jericho v Fletcher Purrazzo v Valkyrie Page v Toa Swerve v Robby V Mox v J. Hardy Edited January 31 by HarryArchieGus 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) I said this to Matt yesterday in last week's thread, but I think it's worth a repost: these weird-on-paper Dynamites are often the sneaky good ones. Jericho/Fletcher will have a bunch of Callis stuff (maybe we get an Ospreay appearance?) but the match itself should be good - I liked what they did before Forbidden Door together, and I thought Jericho's Rampage match with the similarly-built Matt Sydal the other week was some damn fine TV. Taya/Deonna should be good, they've had a lot of matches together at TNA from what I understand, so they ought to be pretty comfortable with each other in there. I like Taya's act and look a whole ton, and I thought she had good matches with Stat and probably Jade Cargill's best matches, but in a blanket sense, I don't think she's hit that next gear yet on AEW TV that I've seen from her in the handful of her TNA and AAA matches I've caught - hopefully that comfort/familiarity I mentioned earlier will bring a bit of that out. Looking forward to it. Page/Toa - bombfest, no notes. Will be Luger-grunting from the couch with each punch sold, much to the chagrin of my better half. Thanks, omnibus thread! RVD/Swerve... This could be the weirdest match ever, or this could be the best ECW on TNN main event that never was. RVD's in awesome shape, but I think this one's largely going to depend on how deep they go. IDK if I see it going a full segment length but I'm sure we'll get the hits at least. Mox/Hardy... I mean, look. It'll be fun. I ain't looking for anything out of Jeff here that I wasn't looking for from 55 year old Hulk Hogan as WWF Champion in 2002. This is a "two big name stars to get eyeballs on the show" match, and I have absolutely zero qualms with it. Edit: you know how I referred to RVD/Swerve as a TNN main event above? This one ought to be the New Jack match that goes around the building (in spirit, not card placement). Edited January 31 by Zakk_Sabbath 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I'll be honest. The thing I'm looking forward to the most tonight is having some matches announced for Collision. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I really really hope that 1. Swerve can do something better than he could with a washed Jeff Hardy and 2. Moxley can do something better than Swerve with a washed Jeff Hardy because the guy I saw last week was not the guy I saw against Darby. The first one could be really weird and cool. The second one could, and will probably be really sloppy and bloody which is in my wheelhouse. So, cross yer fingers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 This is a card where none of the matches (save for maybe Deonna/Taya) should go over 5 minutes, but they'll all be 12+ with the obvious losers getting way too much offense. There's a good opportunity here for Fletcher to get a cheap win over Jericho, and for Toa to establish himself as a Meng/Norton level midcard killer by taking one off Hangman to mix things up, but I doubt we'll get anything that cool. Swerve gloating about Hangman losing this week only to drop one to someone like Dante Martin in a couple weeks to even things back up for a triple threat would be good TV. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 This is the last time I ever try to be optimistic with you people, god dammit. I hope you all end up watching basketball, and the rest of us get Sasha Banks, Batista, a MAX deal, an MJF return, Sting saying "nevermind" to retirement, and an announcement unifying at least 5 belts. 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Hey, I'm with ya on the positivity for tonight. Hangman/Toa will fucking rule and I think Swerve/RVD will be pretty darn great. I'm not as confident in Mox/Hardy due to Jeffrey but the rest of the show sounds like a breezy good time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Hey, I WAS being positive! (Really. That is me being positive. Any shade of gray "shining" out of the black abyss...) Anyway I also think and even look forward to Deonna/Taya being good, not just because they've both got a blueprint, but because I not only like Deonna but I *gasp* like Taya. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SturmCRF Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Looking forward to everything on this show except for Hardy vs Moxley. Although I usually don't look forward to Moxley matches that much until they happen - he's too protected for many of them to have any intrigue results wise, but he tends to go above and beyond to make them fun. But Jeff Hardy being on Dynamite several weeks in a row is a rough one when they're still rationing our helpings of Hobbs, Takeshita and several of the other lesser used meat lads. Could do with some sort of clusterfuck tag match, it'd get more guys on the show and provide a change of pace from all the singles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree a little variety would be nice in that regard, but I could also see the idea of holding back on something like that after just having similar in the cage on Collision - I guess it makes sense to let that breathe a little bit.

Log Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 If Hangman did/does choose RVD, I don't really get it in a kayfabe sense. I figure if you're choosing your hated rival's opponent, you'd want someone super scary or badass. I know RVD is presented as a legend and all that, but he'd be way down on the list of guys I'd pick to mess up someone I hated. Why not Mox or Lance Archer or Big Bill or something? If they really want to present Hangman as a badass, have him choose himself with the thinking that he would love to get his hands on Swerve even if he has to pull double duty in one night. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Yesterday, I was trying to catch up on everything I'd missed in the last few weeks. The match where Mogul Embassy lost the ROH Six Man titles, it really showed how Kaun has taken some major steps in terms of his ring work over the last few months. Or possibly he was always good but never showed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
