Pretty sure it's a different person, who apparently made local headlines awhile back when he registered trademarks for the Continental Basketball Association and the CBA team the Albany Patroons shortly after the league/team folded and did nothing with them but is trying to get paid off to 'grant use' of the names.

Presumably he's doing the same pseudo-patent-troll thing here.

Like the Kenny mic thing, I think the people complaining about this have never actually held a microphone and think the pop filter is padding or something. They're loving heavy, they're hard, and underneath the pop filter is usually a sharp rectangle that you could very easily gently caress someone up with if you did it any harder than Kenny or Maki.

Maybe don’t do the spot then? I have not seen the full show so do not have the context of the spot, but it’s embarrassingly poor. Bit weird AEW opening themselves up to further lambasting after the ring explosion thing.

Further lambasting by people who will lambast anything AEW does should not be a concern for them.

Pro is an amazing name!
Even though Maki could have swung the mic in a way that would have made a more convincing hit, anti-AEW twitter would then start asking "why did a microphone hit KO Mox but left Shida fine to wrestle a match

The moral of the story is that AEW is right to not be cowed by bad faith critics

if you've ever dropped/broken a mic and had someone scream at you about how mics cost $15,000 or whatever it might make you hesitate

i think the worst part of that match was actually shida getting beat up by reba and vickie when she should easily destroy both at the same time but only a few people have brought that up compared to being mad at maki because shes corny's latest target

Counterpoint: Reba/Shida’s crutch vs kendo stick sword fight was fun and good.

Slamming the mic on her head with in ear monitors in and AEW having no idea how to mix live sound so her monitors were probably still turned up high could have lead to blown eardrums. This is a stupid criticism designed to keep people from talking about how good of a match it was over all and how one of the only legit complaints against AEW is quickly being solved.

tbh the only bad thing is Broken Matt Hardy proved rasslin fans are, shall we say, not great at salute hand gestures so if they're going to keep her entrance the same(and they should) they should definitely make sure her chorus gesture can't be construed as anything untoward

they only solved the legit complaint by piping in NBA game audio, which had better sound mixing

I thought Itoh bonking Shida with the mic the way she did was just part of her being bratty.

I didn't think anything of it until other people brought it up.

Maybe she should've strapped a yellow jockstrap to her head and given the business a level of respect that would satisfy Justin Credible.

Slice is awesome. He’s worked a couple shows for my Zealot Pro Wrestling company. I wish he would get picked up by AEW. He would be the perfect third for a PNP trios team.

Yeah sorry, I’m sure the spot where a wrestler taps another wrestler on the head with a microphone really softly would’ve looked much better had I sat down and watched the whole show first.

I like AEW. I have no truck with them and when I have time I watch Dynamite ahead of anything WWE does. I get that there are weird anti-AEW gimmicks on Twitter and I’m sure it’s telling that one of them has retweeted this footage, but as a casual viewer, coming across that, I’m rolling my eyes and thinking it’s rather lame.

Some people watch wrestling now and again, not every week. I’m one of them, for example.

EDIT: ok let me flesh this out a bit further. I realise the wrestler in this clip is a PSP favourite so originally I was quite excited to catch up on Dynamite, and see her in action to see what the fuss is about. Having seen this clip, sadly, now I’m not AS excited, because I think it’s a really jarring clip that looks too fake to suspend my usual disbelief. That’s my point.

i fully recommend you plug a microphone into some headphones and swing it at a wall a few times to see why she didn't do that when she realized it was still live

As per my original post, absolutely can understand why she didn’t whack her opponent in the head with a mic, live or not. Maybe then, don’t do the spot? Could have even gone down the Punk/Hardy route with one good, hard bonk and then disregarded it. I don’t know I didn’t finish booking school.

I love Maki Itoh, I think she's currently underrated as a worker, she's made huge strides as of late and most of her in-ring poo poo looks really good, I was there live for the formation of the Itoh Respect Army so I'm well aware of how far she's come, but both of her AEW appearances were not up to par. Though I'm not gonna blame her for that. The AEW production team has fuckin' issues and anyone who tries to deny that after the last week of flubs is a fuckin' rube. I really cannot fault someone for not being that into her entrance on Wednesday. Every single performer was hitting their poo poo and doing a great job but the sound mix sucked once again and the camera work was a mess and I still found it all funny but it was hard not to think about how much better it would have been if they'd just held one long shot for the entirety of that brawl.

Like, I went "I'm glad she didn't brain Shida with that mic" but I also thought "That shot shouldn't have been so tight, or from that angle, it looked like poo poo," she did the right thing but they presented it in the wrong way, it's pretty fuckin' simple.
