christopher.annino 1,747 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Kingston on commentary makes it a must-watch. I could listen to that dude read a dictionary. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
John from Cincinnati 16,051 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) Yeah. I'm not at all in the "Eddie MUST be world champ" crowd, but it's undeniable that he excels in every single role he takes on. I can't recall, has he done commentary since turning babyface?

Jiji 12,691 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 House show spoiler: Spoiler That's awesome. Takeshita is Okada-like in how effortlessly he makes shit look and he's got a similar aura where he's really good and knows it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Jiji 12,691 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Spoiler So this makes sense. Hopefully they feature him heavily while he's here and not hide him on Dark/Elevation. Link to post Share on other sites

zendragon 487 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I hope Kingston on commentary is sort of a trial run. I think the second TNT show could be good if the pulled either JR or Schavonie off and used Tazz/Jericho/Kingston as rotating color men Link to post Share on other sites

You could pull JR off Dynamite and replace him with a JR Soundboard and nobody would notice. I mean you could rip his commentary from any old WWE Playstation game and use that. Seriously, most of the time he's screaming JR cliches or generic stuff like "THAT WAS ALL IMPACT! or WHAT A SCINTILLATING <move name>!!!" I'm sure he's kept around because he's the voice of wrestling for a generation of casuals, so there's a perception he's some kind of draw, but god damn he adds nothing.

Pete 17,251 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Scheduled for Elevation tonight (spoilerizing based on previous spoilers): Spoiler On a side note, has Wrestling Twitter ever mentioned how funny they are?

I actually think JR and Jericho have played well off each other. JR and Tazz where always good when they would work together. But Dynamite has to many announcers with no clear roles Link to post Share on other sites
Jiji 12,691 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) Takeshita looked great on Elevation. They brought out Excalibur to serve as the Iron Mike Tenay role. Danny Limelight would do well to keep some of his offense simpler and less contrived. He's clearly got some skill but too many weird botches/moments of hesitation because he does too much.

Jiji 12,691 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Fellow Actwresler Ayumi "WASSHOI" Hayashi just made her Chocopro debut and is incredibly charismatic. She's like 2021's Sakura Hirota (the highest of praise). They should definitely use micro Joshi promotion talent once travel becomes easier/safer. Rina Yamashita doing deathmatches on Elevation would be cool too. Matsumoto never followed up her WWE appearances and she absolutely rules. I know dudes stay loyal to their home promotions but Takeshita and Endo are clearly guys that could excel in America, particularly Konosuke with his size. He made a competitive squash riveting because of how much sauce he puts on everything. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Jiji 12,691 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 That Omega/Takeshita/Nakazawa segment. Omega made it sound like he was going to tag with Takeshita to take on the Sydal brothers, but then revealed that Konosuke would be tagging with Nakazawa. Hopefully we get Omega and Takeshita vs. the Sydals after Nakazawa inevitably gets pinned next week. Also liked how Kenny pointed out how DDT helped get him started in Japan only to say they owed him a favour. Consistent. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

The Green Meanie 2,079 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I really enjoyed the in-depth showcase of Shawn Dean, but at least give him a win! He's been one of my favorites since his debut, but he's got the longest losing streak, currently. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

J.T. 11,172 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Leyla Hirsch and Shanna has the potential to be the tidy little undercard blood feud if the book gives them a three match series. I was digging the post match trash talk from Leyla and the "I'll get you next time, bitch!" from Shanna. I thought that the Caillou Effect would eventually make me hate -1 but it hasn't. It warms my heart how the AEW locker room continues to provide the kid with an extended family. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
