If you didn't really understand the finish of the CMLL vs AEW match at H2L or have been watching some CMLL and don't really get the rules with regards to finishes this might help.

We need more women in STEM, and by that, I mean skateboarding, television, esports, and magic.
I haven't been watching Dynamite for a long time but I'm going to the show tomorrow. I found the cards here but I'm wondering if anyone is aware of a good site that does show recaps so I can skim the past few weeks to get caught up on storylines. I did a little googling but wrestling news websites tend to look like they have every imaginable virus so if anyone has a fave, lemme know. Thanks!

edit: Got it, thank you!

The Observer site's recaps are what get posted in the thread.

Based on tomorrow's card, here's what you need to know:

- It's the go-home show for Dynasty. The world title match for the show is Samoa Joe defending against Swerve Strickland. Both are evil psychopaths who have been beating the poo poo out of each other over the past few weeks. Joe is heel and Swerve is kind of a tweener, but still an unrepentant monster.

- A big match at Dynasty is Bryan Danielson vs. Will Ospreay. Their respective factions (BCC and Don Callis Family) have started butting heads. Hence, Claudio vs. Ospreay. It should be noted that Ospreay has been acting like a total face and has also defeated all his fellow Callis Family members in singles competition. Powerhouse Hobbs was not happy about his loss.

- Adam Copeland is currently feuding with the House of Black and will be teaming up with Eddie Kingston and Mark Briscoe at the next PPV. Willow will be challenging for Julia Hart's TBS Championship. These two feuds crossed paths and we're getting a mixed tag out of it.

- The Young Bucks have kicked Hangman (kayfabe suspended) and Omega (legit sick) out of the Elite and replaced them with Okada. The Young Bucks will face FTR at the PPV in the finals for the vacated tag titles. Okada will be facing Pac at the PPV. For this trios match, Pac is teaming up with Penta, along with FTR's ally Daniel Garcia.

- Jon Moxley has been off TV for a bit. He just won the IWGP title. He's probably there to set up either a last minute match for Dynasty or build up Forbidden Door.

- Deonna Purrazzo is Toni Storm's former best friend and failed challenger for the title. She is taking on Toni's protege Mariah May. Both are supporting characters in the upcoming Dynasty match of Toni Storm vs. Thunder Rosa.

- Mercedes Mone (Sasha Banks) has been cutting promos in AEW, but won't be wrestling until Double or Nothing. She's mostly been throwing shade at Willow for "injuring" her in Japan. Last week she was doing a sitdown interview and the lights went out. When the lights came back on, Mercedes was found beaten on the floor.

- Chris Jericho has been trying to mentor Hook and it's had mixed results, especially with Shibata hanging out with Hook lately and complicating things. Jericho wants to speak with Hook about this.

Someone dug up something troublesome, the Oklahoma SAC has at least discussed taking action against AEW for Nyla Rose's match last December. Oklahoma has some incredibly archaic rules regarding intergender wrestling and as you can imagine how they classify transgender athletes.

please push this, oklahoma. we can finally settle this with an actual rich person fighting back. or aew just doesnt go to oklahoma anymore, a win win situation.

OC vs. Mox as a way to explore the entire Orange Cassidy International title run would be very good.

The Bucks' move into their current gimmicks would be good too.

Bryan/MJF being listed is just kind of reminding me that it was SOMEWHAT of a retread on the MJF/Jericho feud with the FIVE LABORS - which I thought was a lot more fun in the lead up to that match. (Though Bryan vs. Anyone was obviously better)

It was a retread of SEVERAL MJF storylines where the face had to do a gauntlet. It was turned on its head with Bryan by virtue of him being a violence pervert and enjoying the gauntlet.

If OC vs. Mox didn't have the issue of Mox getting concussed and losing to Fenix - and featured OC being able to build himself up to challenging Mox again for the title, that feud would have been so much better to me lol. The follow up with OC kinda hurts it for me also. Love the guy but I was absolutely on team "OC should go away for a bit and come back emboldened and better than ever".
