Huh, neat.

Jade in the Pinnacle would be absolutely incredible, obviously. Unfortunately Jade and Wardlow standing next to each other would make everybody's eyes explode.

he DOES say he representED MJF, but i'm gonna cross my fingers that that's to try and disguise the direction a bit, because Jade to the Pinnacle makes amazing sense on so many levels

I'm a new wrestling fan and I just started watching AEW from the beginning. I watched a bunch of other stuff, mainly NJPW. I caught the wrestling bug and apparently AEW is where it's at. Even my girlfriend is hooked. We watched Double or Nothing yesterday and All In and Fyter Fest today.

Holy poo poo. All the fights were great in every event but here's some things:

DoN, the match with Cody and Dustin was wild. I had to shrink the screen to watch the match cause my girlfriend was grossed out and we were both tearin' up at the end of the fight.

Fyter Fest, we just finished it. Moxley and Janelo had me cringing in pain and gf hiding, Cody almost died!!! Street Fighter match!

I love the luchadores so much, especially Pentagon Jr. Just so much fun to watch.

All the women are incredible, the Hot Mess is great, and the dentist and the magical girl and drat I can't wait til Maki Itoh gets in the ring.

I love it. I love all of it.

Edit: is there a general AEW thread? I'm not really sure how this subforum works.

you're in the general aew thread now. all good. there's a new one ('aew discussion') each week, right after the latest episode of dynamite. me and cerebral bore are teaming up to welcome you. we are a tag team and we're going to break up if we ever lose a match.

here come the planes
this is the general aew thread but for the sake of keeping it from getting too unwieldy every Wednesday it gets closed for a live thread during dynamite and then a new weekly thread gets made after the show. makes it easy to look back and see what people thought of each show as well

there's also two permanent threads for the two youtube dark shows aew does

Yeah the weekly discussion threads tend to get up to 40-50 pages so one megathread would just balloon into a monstrosity real fast.

welcome friend! :D

so for AEW there's:
One Dark megathread for discussion/live posting
One Elevation megathread for discussion/live posting

And a general discussion thread for the whole company that gets refreshed weekly when it's closed for Dynamite and replaced with a live post thread, which is then closed when the next week's general thread is opened (usually shortly after Dynamite ends and we get a recap for the OP)

They’re completely optional but good supplemental material. It’s mostly goofy skits but they do some character stuff on there too.

Yes! I think it's one of maybe...4 or 5 episodes (max) of Dynamite that I would consider not good. I've watched every ep and I could literally count on one hand the ones I thought weren't good, which is pretty good going for a show that's had 82 eps

BTE (and Sammy's Vlog) are mostly sketches that are entirely irrelevant to the stories on the show. Occasionally they take the space to build a little more on something (normally the something that the Bucks are doing). This week's opened and closed w/ promos for the Buck's upcoming match, for example. But that's certainly not the rule, and it's never essential viewing to understand what's going on.
There have been a few instances of those irrelevant sketches becoming so popular, the wrestler associated w/ them gets a much larger profile on Dynamite.

A few days ago I imagined a guy who follows BTE religiously, but has no interest in watching Dynamite. They'd only be dimly aware of Darby Allin, and they wouldn't be a fan.

yeah same. even the below average dynamites are quite good! skippable if you’re trying to catch up sure, but worth watching if you have a lot of time to do it
