Still a great match, but holy poo poo did it really put him on the shelf.

Lead Pipe Cinch posted:I would bet either the 6-man or MJF/OC mains. Bucks/TH2 almost certainly opens. I would usually assume MJF/OC is the main event, but the Inner Circle Breakup stuff could make the order of operations there wonky. I am very curious how they're gonna handle the Inner Circle stuff even if it's a lower-tier storyline right now. The two outcomes I'd want to avoid are "Inner Circle kicks MJF out and stays together" and "MJF/Jericho stay aligned through the dissolution of the Inner Circle," but that still feels like two pretty plausible outcomes based on what they've shown so far

I'm still thinking about the comparison to NWA Flair. Does Kenny have any friends left? He abandoned Hangman, Cody hasn't really been a part of the Elite anymore, and the young bucks seemed pissed. He doesn't have a horseman, let alone an enforcer, does he? Unrelated to that but still related to Kenny, holy poo poo this is going to be an even bigger deal if Hangman (Redeemed edition) is the one that eventually unseats Kenny, Universal Emperor of All Titles

Might be unpopular but I've seen it proposed and I don't want to see multiple Sting gimmicks in AEW since Matt is already doing that. I'd really prefer he just sticks to one. Namely, Surfer Sting. He can be Snowboard Sting to jive with the winter theme.

Any other Sting besides Crow sting exposes the fact that he's over 60 years old. Gotta stick with that.

I was amazed they went from MJF getting in to the possible dissolution of IC so quickly. I feel they left so much meat on the bone, we've had one match and a trip to Vegas. If they kick MJF out, then it's just a flat nullification of the last ppv match, if nothing happens it's going to be a boring segment. Sammy is in a good position for a face turn, but is Wardlow or Hagar?

dromal phrenia posted:I also think the idea of Kenny going after women's titles is very funny. That reminds me. Really glad the AEW game is going to have intergender wrestling. I've always been annoyed by how the WWE games keep the rosters completely separate. What's the point of making a Sonya Blade CAW if she can't be in the same Royal Rumble as Scorpion? Anyway, I hope Kenny's journey leads to him beating Jake Hager for the Aztec gold belt. And it leads to Hager explaining his Lucha Underground backstory to the other Inner Circle guys. "So you know how Chris is a Demogod and Sammy is a Spanish god? I'm actually a god-god. Like, I'm an all-powerful Aztec god. Who wrestles. Cage can vouch for me." "How has this never come up before?" "I don't know. I don't talk much."

I’m very bummed that MTV scheduled the new season of The Challenge for the same time slot as Dynamite. It’s a very bad time for me.

ICR posted:Let’s just say with a fun little quote that many of us know: “We are just...getting...started!” For over a decade, Monday nights were mandatory for me. Never missed a RAW if I could help it. It was to the point where my friends knew never to schedule anything on Monday nights and to write on the calendar when Wrestlemania and Summerslam were. I can pinpoint the exact moment where my interest started to wane - when John Cena beat Rey Mysterio on RAW for the World title and CM Punk, after walking out two weeks earlier, walked back in. A million-dollar storyline just tossed away. From that point on, the "what the fucks" began outweighing the "holy shits," until my mantra became, "bad writing,." The announcement of the first Saudi blood money show killed my interest in the WWE for good. I still liked wrestling but I didn't make time for it anymore. Lucha Underground grabbed me for two seasons, but we know how that ended, and finding NJPW/AAA online was too much of a hassle for me. AEW sparked a love I forgot I had. Winter is Coming was the most hyped I EVER felt for a non-PPV wrestling show. Tonight Cyberpunk 2077 drops, a game I've waited seven years and since high school (Cyberpunk 2013/2020) for. And I'm blowing it off so I can watch Dynamite with you goons. You're right, ICR. We're just getting started.

I had a similar realization watching takeover this weekend, like even at it's worst you could always make the argument that NXT is still the best WWE has to offer and takeovers will always have mostly quality matches, but AEW has truly flipped a switch in my head that made me realize there's nothing WWE can do to bring me back at that point. For the longest time I was tuning into Raw on Mondays and Smackdown on Fridays just because it's what you do, and even when it was real bad I kept tuning in but paying less and less attention to it. I like the people wrestling for NXT/WWE but the only thing I could think of the whole time was how much better these people could be outside of this environment. If it wasn't for AEW I would just not be watching wrestling anymore, I always liked the people who wrestle for NJPW and elsewhere but don't care enough to subscribe to the services to watch. I'm very happy to have a wrestling show to look forward to that doesn't think that I, the viewer, am an rear end in a top hat who doesn't know what I want and will just watch whatever slop they present us anyway.

Duke Pukem posted:The matches were ok, the main event was pretty good, Kenny and Callis were great, but good lord, the announcing and the backstage segments were horrendous as was Sami Calihan. sami callihan exists to mark a promotion as small-time. if they treat sami callihan like he's notable in any way, you can be assured you're watching a mediocre product. it would be really really sad that he's still doing "the draw" poo poo if it were anyone else. bro you weren't even "the draw" in aaw get outta here. making your whole gimmick about how you're one of the biggest names in the country and you're re-hashing the eddie edwards thing AGAIN on twitch.tv alright sure man.

Gavok posted:That reminds me. Really glad the AEW game is going to have intergender wrestling. I've always been annoyed by how the WWE games keep the rosters completely separate. What's the point of making a Sonya Blade CAW if she can't be in the same Royal Rumble as Scorpion? I didn't know that about Hager and Lucha Underground, the idea that this guy is an Aztec god is really hilarious. Was this a possession thing, like whoever is Aztec champion becomes an avatar of a god? Speaking of Hager, he's been kept almost silent on the shows and I guess I started assuming with that and his mediocre-to-bad matches, he had lost anything I liked about him. The swaggie sandwich and the soaring eagle were long ago, and while The Real Americans were an OK team (with a poo poo gimmick), he was always the lesser of the two - although being worse than Cesaro isn't much of a strike against you. On AEW he has mostly stood around with a stupid facial expression and has a deeply uninteresting in-ring style. But Sammy's vlog had an episode of "Inner Circle Cribs" in their Vegas hotel room and Hager was pretty drat funny! I lost it when they tried to spin the globe around, but this globe spun slowly and required a lot of effort, ruining the effect. Hager responds by throwing knee strikes at the globe until they back him off.
