I was just reminded that NXT doesn’t get overruns anymore starting tonight. AEW about to squash NXT even harder :rip:
Why can't Dynamite do overruns? I mean, can they not just cut a single commercial break out of the movie Fist Fight after it to have a small 3 minute overrun?

aew should sign leyla hirsch sometime in the future. if she gets a bit more polished and can learn to cut a promo she could be their breakout star.

There's really no reason to. If they have a match where they want to fool the crowd or do some twist sure, do one. Otherwise just end at 10.

Agreed. She's small, but she is incredibly good, and has a different style to her movements than a lot of women's wrestlers do. Keep the "legit" thing, have her come in with a cornerman or something, and just let her wrestle her way into people's hearts.

The thing is, having the overrun available was a good thing at first as it stopped the audience going "welp, it's 9:58, guess this is the finish". Problem is that it's used so frequently and predictably that the audience now go "welp, it's 10:07, guess this is the finish". The cure in both cases is booking better.

So she's like a grapplefucker kind of wrestler? That's cool, AEW's roster could do with a woman like that.

pretty much every dynamite that had a good match at the end of the card, i was hoping THIS would be the week where they run over so the good match can actually have time to be a good match

or if you can't have an overrun then just do a "WE WILL BE SHOWING THE REST OF THIS MATCH RIGHT NOW LIVE ON YOUTUBE" or something so there aren't more 11 minute title matches at the end of dynamites

I can't think of many Dynamite main events that weren't good matches and not many that felt rushed.

Former amateur wrestler, good with submissions and has a lot of power. She's had some excellent matches in Beyond and has a good, ungimmicky look.

That one I'll agree with. There are definitely some where when they start I think "I wish this was getting more time" and then it ends at the perfect time and I wouldn't change a thing about the match. Most matches don't need 15+ minutes.

this was definitely the one i was mainly thinking of, but i definitely thought there was another SCU match that got "last match of dynamite" placement and was hurt by only being able to go just over 10 minutes.

i actually love when we get a "tv time remaining" match cause that means you can do fun stuff with the booking, but when i know a pinfall or submission is about to take place because it's 9:59, it bums me out.

I love that Orange Cassidy not only rules but has created a gimmick for himself that is unique and involves him not beating up his body most of the time

He's got a Kevin Nash level of being able to earn money while not killing himself in the ring but is actually entertaining and a draw

Slightly different problem, but it contributes to the perception, but I feel like some of the undercard matches could stand to end a little sooner on big impactful non-finishers. Not every match needs big bear falls.

I am leaving autocorrect’s change of “nearfalls” to “bear falls.”

If it doesn’t work on a bear, don’t do it in the ring.

one thing i like about aew is that not every finish is a finisher, so i agree they should do this more

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

Dark Order decided the best way to recruit people was to hit the guys down on their luck. So they successfully grabbed Alex Reynolds and John Silver, are putting a big pitch on Brandon Cutler and Michael Nakazawa, wanted Kenny Omega and Hangman but then they went and gotgud. Also they beat up the Elite about a month ago but little came of it

Oh yeah, and Uno was shown to be following a leader called Dr. Claw The Exalted One, who is never seen on camera but is sometimes voiced by a distorted Raven

I preferred it when Evil Uno was the leader, and there wasn't an "Exalted One".
