AEW has more great wrestlers now on the roster than they did back when the company started but somehow it feels like the wrestling matches they're having are less interesting. I would have enjoyed the Bucks vs Golden Jets match more if the build for it had not been so weak. Then MJF had a crazy match with Jay White and I could barely get into it because of how dumb the build was. Roderick Strong is now just the guy who yells Adam in a funny way. Toni Storm's a great wrestler with a completely nonsensical gimmick.

I think I started getting disillusioned in AEW when Statlander came back as a super babyface and won the title by cashing in on an already tired Jade.

That being said I'm pretty excited for the C2, I don't think they can gently caress that up.

The G1 has had Fale, Yoshi-Hashi, Chase Owens and a bunch of other stinkers that are not on the level of Mark Briscoe so his inclusion doesn't really concern me, but we'll see if they announce Ryan Nemeth and Serpentico being in the C2 tomorrow.

A lot of the midcarders are good-great wrestlers who are booked like idiot losers so hopefully it would be an opportunity for them to just go out and have good matches. But who knows! I'm putting my money where my mouth is!

It's one of the only Dynamites in recent weeks I'll be able to watch live, so Tony better put his money where his mouth is and not appear on television to make an awkward announcement that could be made by a wrestler with some charisma.

It's so weird that Adam Cole messed his ankle up to the point where he's unable to wrestle for several months and they decided to keep the tag belt on him and have him show up in multiple segments each week. I don't even hate him as a wrestler but it takes him 7 minutes to hobble to the ring and then say all his catchphrases and we're not even getting a match out of it.

Was thinking about how it was cool to see Lee Moriarty and it made me realize that despite the actual roster size it feels like the AEW roster is 9 guys who all work part time, like they're always scrambling to book anyone who might be available on that day. They're announcing matches the day of the show and it's Kris Stat vs Diamante who hasn't been on TV since August, Keith Lee against Lee Moriarty who hasn't been on since July, Julia Hart vs the Subzero jobber lady who hasn't been on TV since June. Does the rest of the roster just not want to work on a Saturday? I guess they're not booking anyone who is in the C2 outside of their league matches and they decided to just have all the RoH people show up to be jobbers.

Jobbers are cool when their match lasts 32 seconds and they get killed by a huge powerbomb or whatever. I don't want Kris Statlander fighting the wrestling equivalent of a goomba for 9 minutes. Shane Taylor has never been on TV and they're talking about his feud with Keith Lee like it's a big deal. Lady Frost earns a title shot by getting ultra killed anytime she's on TV. I haven't been able to watch dynamite much the past couple of months so maybe I'm missing something.

I'm sorry for calling Diamante a goomba I like her

It seems like it would be pretty difficult to hide such a serious injury for over a year. If Keith Lee somehow managed it then congratulations on hiding an injury well enough to gently caress up the plans for a PPV match with one of AEW's current hottest stars on the day of the PPV, I guess. It sucks that Keith Lee never achieved his full potential in AEW but at this point if he's been wrestling injured for a year and making things worse it's his own fault and it's time to move on.

Like OK yes provoking Punk is a stupid move because he's apparently a barely sentient rage elemental, but Jack Perry literally just said "It's real glass, cry me a river" and if that was enough to almost ruin the Wembley show then Punk should have been fired a long time ago. Maybe fire him for making digs at Hangman while he was feuding with someone else, that would make as much sense as suspending Jack Perry for saying the mildest thing possible.

There was a period of what feels like months where the majority of the card would be announced by Tony on twitter the day of the show, which can't have been great for ticket sales. Would you buy tickets to a show where all that was announce was that you would HEAR FROM MJF and there would be some ROH matches between Josh Woods and a member of the audience ?

the four pillars each had their little color like they were the power rangers, I think that's cute and they were all equally good. Except Akira Taue I don't know who that is.

Pro wrestling can't just be two guys looking like Gunloc and Biff Slamkovich trading beautiful dropkicks for every single match so I think Eddie's fine, but it did feel a little weird to see him on a morning talk show. Like if you weren't familiar with AEW and you saw the living embodiment of a cigarette promoting the product you probably wouldn't rush to order the PPV.

Swerve yelled at an actual baby but he also killed another, bigger baby(Nick Wayne) and the biggest baby(Hangman) making him a good guy because the two rights cancel the one wrong.

You'd have to be a dummy idiot to think they want you to cheer the guy who refused to extend the match 5 minutes.
