Dynamite kicked rear end. There was some fun matches and almost every promo was “hot fire” as the kids say. Do the kids say that?

Dustin Rhodes and Joe fuckin' shined last night and Swerve capped it off beautifully. There's such a good Bad Blood theme going on with the main belt. Dynasty is shaping up

E: Does anyone have a gif of the Cope/Penta finish?

Bryan brought up a good point on WOR - why isn't Eddie showing any frustration about losing 2 of his 3 titles in the last two weeks??

a lot of times, as fans get older, the moves that are sick and cool make us worry. It's because as we age, we overly worry about these guys getting hurt.

I'm experiencing the reverse. My bloodlust gets stronger and stronger with each passing day. I want 'em to get out there and gently caress each other up. I want a death match to be literal.

He did show frustration after losing to Okada, which led to him bringing back the "old" Eddie against Mark Briscoe but Mark still won, it was a fair fight, and Eddie accepted that because he likes and respects Mark.

maybe I'm just trying to manifest it happening but I think Eddie's turning heel at Dynasty

he's hiding his frustrations now to stay close to Mark so that he can unexpectedly attack him at the pape

Eddie doesn't care about winning or losing. This is routinely expressed every time he talks/wrestles. It's his whole character lol

How does Okada's neck breaker not actually, yknow, break necks? Is he supporting the weight of the person on the side so it's not full coming down on the neck? poo poo looks so brutal every time, I love it and his nonchalant "Yeah I just did that" reaction afterwards.



A lot of the person's weight is on Okada's shoulders. Danielson is bracing himself with his arm around Okada's waist. Okada is also cradling the back of Danielson's head. In the end there's not really much actual impact on the person's neck.

He's been tapping into Aunt May's bank account!
Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
Eddie also literally said out loud that he feels confused after his loss, before elaborating more he brushes it off for the match they have ahead. I think he's pushing down the negative feelings and a big match with HoB will draw it all out, much how I think Willow is also turning heel after she wins the TBS championship.

He got angry after losing to Okada and told Briscoe he was going to bring out the old Eddie to kill his rear end. He lost, but he loves and respects Mark so it balances out. He’ll probably go off a cliff when he loses the last one.

Edit: wow beaten several times including almost word for word by Pylons

I will say, Dave, not just him but so many "journalists", and so many people going "oh my god, this is opening old wounds" blah blah blah

Without mentioning that this isn't the 90s and the news cycle or the whatever you want to call it now with social media has the attention span of a goldfish and this whole thing with the footage is going to be forgotten anyway in like, I'm just going to say a month after Jack comes back.


I have no doubt there's going to be punk chants when he's on regular AEW tv but that's going to get booed away like yesterday when it started for a couple of seconds and died, but nobody mentions the chants dying, it's "well there was cm punk chants and they didn't want that you know"

Been a busy three weeks, I have several Dynamites & Collisions backlogged, and I haven't been keeping up with these threads so I was completely out of the loop.

Skimmed the OP and had to do a triple-take when the recap said the legit All In footage was shown. Felt good to have a :monocle: :tviv: moment out of nowhere like that.

How long ago did the Bucks start mentioning the video in kayfabe? April 3rd Dynamite, a Rampage/Collision, or was it on social media? Keen to see how they worked it into the show.

Only last night, really. Punk did a podcast to hype up WrestleMania with that Ariel guy that Tony hates and the stuff he talked about pissed Tony off something fierce, so he decided to go scorched earth on it.

Even when Punk was still around in AEW, the funniest thing about CM Punk chants post Brawl Out was how quickly it died out and got drowned out by the crowd loving around with him.

Last Collision it was announced. But it only came about because of Punk going on Helwani and having a heavily-publicized interview where he lied about the events despite not even being asked about the incident.

It being UBS basically confirms there was some cost issue unless there is some kind of conflict. There's zero reason to run a smaller arena miles away when you could sell 5,000 more tickets at Arthur Ashe.
