Son of Man posted:1. Do any of these people care about how 'natural' a competitor Brock Lesnar or Ryback is? I think those guys are replacing more hormones than nyla. Look at Brock's stomach, that turtle belly is the biggest symptom of abusing HGH. I don't know what causes it, but it's a dead giveaway. And yeah, even if there was an advantage (I didn't know that about the 1 year mark, good to know), it's loving scripted. They could have Orange Cassidy Kid pin Luchasaurus if they wanted. The whole argument they bring up also shows how trans men are basically invisible to the world. You want to talk about unfair, making cis women compete with trans men who are on HRT would be unfair, because testosterone is literally a banned PED in basically every sport out there, and unless my understanding of the process and 30 second search of the Mayo Clinic website is wrong, that's the primary hormone used in HRT for trans men.

There’s much less of an opposition to trans men competing in men’s sports for that exact reason (testosterone).

Ryback shot up such massive amounts of steroids that he blew up his brain and now his body is straight up unable to produce testosterone on it's own

I popped super hard for the OWA-snapdragon spot. I don't know how obvious it is to people who only watch dynamite that Riho is Kenny's protege, but Nyla trying to humiliate Riho by stealing her mentor's move for the finisher and then having Riho counter with a double shot of one of Kenny's other signature moves worked extremely well for me.

Whether people at home got it, I felt like people in the arena did. The OWA attempt certainly got a response, and Riho's snapdragons popped big.

Nyla also did a great job of selling Riho as a believable threat while being physically imposing on her. She's good, y'all.

Compare this match to the one they had in October. Everything tied together better, and while there were still a few spots that looked a bit scruffy she absolutely made me buy the drama. The feud with Shanna I think really made her stretch and she's come on leaps and bounds. She's a good wrestler becoming a very good wrestler, now let's see what she does against some decent opposition.

I honestly think this is almost an advantage of AEW, in that they're pushing guys who are younger and greener, and maybe all their poo poo isn't the best, but sometimes that can actually help with a match and I think Nyla/Riho is a great example of that. I mean, Cena/Punk was a classic and if you actually watch the execution of moves by those two in it, sometimes it's dog poo poo ugly, but it worked because of the storyline between the two that they were just complete opposites of each other and I could buy that the hate resulted in them going for moves with some sloppiness. I don't know, maybe it is I, the stupid wrestling fan opinion haver here.

No, I get what you mean. I don’t think it’s so much about wrestlers being green or whatever as AEW letting them wrestle different kinds of matches. Bryan and Dave have talked so much about this, but one reason I left WWE was because every match except Daniel Bryan’s just felt the same to me. Even in NXT, there’s this overpowering house style and you see everyone wrestle the same style again and again and again. Look at how differently the Bucks have wrestled depending on their opponents and circumstances. They did an indie spotfest match at the DoN four-way, they did their TLC tribute at All Out, and they worked this much slower more psychological style with Kenny in the six man tag at Fyter Fest. Obviously there’s already kind of an AEW “style” but it feels a lot broader than WWE. Riho is going to be wrestling as the small underdog against literally everyone on the roster except Yuka, but her matches still feel different against her every opponent. For me it’s a big part of why AEW feels so much more exciting.

Riho worked Shoko as the bigger wrestler as well, but even then they still referenced how much physically stronger Nakajima was. That match also ruled because they were comfortable going 100mph for huge stretches of it

Part of it is In usually half asleep when I watch Dynamite because of my schedule. Apropos of nothing but Kenny needs to bust out his pink and white tights more often, I loves his matching outfit with Riho for the mixed gender tag match.

I couldn't figure what this was about and thought "is he defending Jon Moxley or something?" But no, its him defending Matt Hardy getting buried and massacred on TV for no reason other than him maybe leaving.

It took me a second the first time I read it, too, since I don't watch Raw and the recaps I read here are only stored in my brain for like 12 minutes tops. I just love how many arguments/justifications/whatevers he tries to fit into a single tweet to the response of absolutely nobody.

Does this go here? Because this is loving dumb as hell. Eddie was one of the hottest heels in the world when he was in Los Gringos Locos and he was younger than Garza. https://twitter.com/bryanalvarez/status/1229594846832123904?s=19

Yeah, that poo poo's just loving stupid. I like Garza but like in order to think it took a decade for Eddie to "find charisma" in WWE you gotta ignore that everything he was doing during his main event WWE run was stuff he was doing in WCW and AAA. Like you have to think the only thing he did for the first 10 years of his career was the white bread face thing he debuted in WCW with. Plus, how come you gotta compare Garza to Eddie? Is there context for that?

Making the conversation about Eddie's personal confidence instead Eddie's body of work and public performance kind of feels like it just frames the debate in a way where the insider is the only one with a worthwhile opinion.
