I know AEW usually only runs tag team matches between established named teams, but a good feature match, maybe a Dark main or something, they could do would be continuing an existing program from this week, but add a smallish Canadian veteran to each side, face and heel, to make sure it all goes smoothly.

I refer of course to Cage and Page vs Cage and Page

Bring in DDP and Saraya Knight to manage so it's Cage and Page w/ Page vs. Cage and Page w/ Paige

Can we get Nicolas Cage as a special referee?

Edit: Nic Cage is going to need a bodyguard so get Nick Gage too.

The Outside the Ring with Sonny Kiss is up and it's wonderful. They have great chemistry together and Lexy is a genuinely good interviewer here because she's so at ease. This has been a really good vehicle for her.

Watching the Sonny Kiss outside the ring bit, and i'm enjoying it, but after abadon and max caster, i'm extremely sus that this is going to take a crazy swerve

i guess SK liking Nickleback is the crazy bit

Lexy is best when she's not at ease, like with Abadon.

Yeah Sonny being a massive nü-metal/whatever Nickleback is fan is both an established fact and completely bonkers.

Pro is an amazing name!
I think I figured out the intangible element that makes The Acclaimed so good. Max Caster is what I'd call "soft weird", while Anthony Bowens is "hard weird".

I could not define those for you, but I feel like they describe the wrestlers very well.

I'm just totally incapable of imagining anyone liking or hating Nickelback. They're the true neutral of rock radio. Just totally bland in every way. Shocked that Sonny would have taste that's so... Basic.

loving great Dynamite. I don't think I can say something new but holy poo poo Miro is scary. What I see everyone missed is this:



Darby hitting a big one on Vance's jaw and he just stays there, moves his head a little and slowly walks towards him then starts to throw Darby across the ring.

enigmahfc posted:

That was one of the best Dynamites so far this year. I was just so into everything (even the stuff with QT's Get-A-Long Gang! I know, I am surprised as anyone!).
It was a night of murders as Hangman got murdered, OC nearly got murdered, Miro is a scary murderer, and Darby barely escaped murder (by cheating!) We now know what Wednesday means (murder).

It's wednesday night, and you know what that means! (murder).

Some sort of block at the bottom, just out of screen, that the door actually hits. The depth of field of the camera is such that the door is probably several inches away from his actual arm.

That genuinely sucks but maybe this could be seen as an experiment to see how well AEW would do on Friday or Saturday.

According to Dave, the lead-in was down 40%. What movie was playing before Dynamite this week?

It's fine, I'm used to this really good movie inexplicably doing really disappointing numbers. :lol:

Nobody knew what the opener was going in. Even if they did the last 3 months of Hangmin have just been him racking up wins in matches with little/no setup.
Brian Cage squash throws a wrench into everything. But now I'm wondering who Kenny will face at the PPV. Is this some kind of sidewards way to get Kenny v Christian at the PPV? Because that wouldn't be great.

Hangman vs. Cage and Eddie vs. Omega at the PPV.

Probably just the foot or maye a rubber doorstop that was close so Miro can just move it with his foot outside of the camera view.

that whole segment i kept remembering some wrestler's (rowdy piper's?) book where they talk up about how someone had the greatest "a punch" finisher and he was so excited to work with that person and find out how he made the punch look so brutal, then the moment finally came and he got punched real fuckin' hard.

Kip Sabian: Women's Division Hate Magnet is such an underrated part of his role. Coming out in crop tops and giving Penelope kisses mid-match while making joshi hate his loving guts.

I'm glad people are coming around on Kip, he's not actively bad at anything, I think a new finisher (I hate the one man magic killer) could help him be a valuable midcarder

If your dirt worst is being a fun manager to your wife and being a a solid in ring guy, that's not bad

Kip Sabian has been an asset to AEW for a long time.

He needs to read another book, however.
