Wait, you went all the way out to Barrington before going to downtown Chicago for Revolution?

I like that AEW lets guys acknowledge their indie roots and don't automatically use it as a shame stick.

WWE's hahah lookit these bingo hall losers stuff was tired in the 90s.

Yeah, it's cool that they acknowledge that there's a whole world of wrestling outside AEW and that the people in AEW often have had relationships (both good and bad!) with others in those. It gives an impression (however little it's actually used) that almost anyone could appear for a show or two just because why not?

Dynamite thoughts as I watch

- Boy that's a big crowd after getting used to Covid times!
- Cody Rhodes? Of all the things they could be doing, of all the programs they could be advancing, we're starting with CODY RHODES? Who hasn't even been on Dynamite since... I don't even remember when? And is basically just passively treading water in his 52 year long feud with Q.T. Marshal.
- Did the lights go out for a moment because lol Miami or because something's going to happen?
- Q.T. diamond cutters Cody off the top rope with Cody all bundled up in the strap, Arn Anderson calmly leans in to talk to Cody immediately afterwards. Way to sell the spot, Arn.
- A couple of neat spots but man that match did NOTHING for me.

- PERSONA 5 DOESN'T SUCK SOMEONE HOLD ME BACK!

- Shawn Spears found a second chair dimension... but really needs to learn how to look slightly past the camera :v:

- Kenny still rocking the 70s hockey facial hair but now with a V-neck and some uncomfortably tight Zubaz and the dirtiest boots I've seen in a while, god drat that's a look
- Boy it's fun to hear a big crowd during Dynamite again
- "Geriatric Tommy Bahama model", loving lol
- "You and your weird uncle", god drat Evil Uno is also very good on the mic
- Man this crowd is hot, and Kenny is playing off them so well
- HANGMAN! THAT POP! HANGMAN'S HERE TO SAVE HIS FRIEND! YESSSS!
- Man this pace is too loving tight. Immediately cutting to a JR interview segment, just loving let Hangman glower in the ring for a while.

- I am excited for 5/6 of this trios match.
- lol even Jake Hager is getting huge pops from this crowd
- These are some nice loving chops, gotta love it when even the nosebleeds can hear it

- I love it when they talk about NJPW poo poo. It kinda makes the world of AEW seem bigger, because unlike the WWE they're not pretending wrestling only exists within their organiation. Oh and an IWGP title defense out of nowhere. RAAAAAD!

- Holy gently caress this crowd singing Judas. Jericho looking like he's holding back tears. God drat that's got to be cool.
- Lol and some loving idiot jumping in the ring to get his rear end beat (not MJF)
- Jesus it's fun to see these guys reacting to the crowd and playing up to them. I've missed live crowds so much.

- "This is basically all natural", says Britt Baker with bright red eyelids :lol:
- Jesus loving christ Britt, that Saudi-Arabia line :aaaaa:

- I am straight, but god drat Andrade is a good looking man
- Holy loving poo poo that suplex / back spin series from Andrade :aaa:
- That was a hot loving match (with a weirdly soft finish) and Andrade looks great. I think this was the first time I've seen him wrestle and I liked it.
- Imagine being Vince and letting this guy go because he was too Mexican

- OK I guess the lights keep going out for story reasons
- OH poo poo IT'S THE MAN OF 5000 PAGES OF DEMON GIMMICK IDEAS!
- YES KICK CODY'S HEAD OFF
- Malachi Black? OK! Well I guess Cody's moving on from the interminable Q.T. Marshal "feud"

- Aww, Statlander also wearing a denim jacket and Ray-bans :3:
- lol, Bunny trying to suppress a smile on her way back to the corner. Even his opponents can't help but like Orange Cassidy!
- Holy poo poo that stunner counter from OC :o:
- Man, the Bunny is pretty good and Statlander of course is insanely good
- That match was a lot of fun!

- Holy gently caress Penta is O V E R. CERO MIEDO!
- Jorts and cigarette ear rings, loving god damnit Bucks :lol:
- "The rough & tumble streets of Rancho Cucamonga"
- DESTROYER OFF THE RING APRON
- lol 450 on the ref
- lol that spray spot
- THUMBTACKS
- that was such an overbooked mess but a very fun match

Very good Dynamite in all!

This has been apparent since DoN, but it’s pretty crazy how over Penta is considering he’s mostly been booked like the lesser Lucha Bro for all of AEW’s run. They could definitely give him a hard solo push anytime they want

Also..I wonder if this means Fenix would be even more over? Maybe he’s not jokerfied enough though

it also reminds us that they're all hardworking professionals instead of WWE's loser geeks that won't amount to anything.

So are they going to setup the card for Fyter Fest Night 2 basically on Night 1? The only scheduled match, last I checked, was Britt vs Nyla. Given that they appear to be doing two title matches I do wonder if the Bucks are defending again but who knows. I have a vested interest since I'll be there but a bit irked that like, three matches I'd love to see in person are gonna be at the Austin show.

im anxious for Rampage to start so we can see more of some people who have been largely on-and-off lately, i.e. the ENTIRE women's division, Lance Archer, TH2. Roster finally kind of feels swollen to the hilt so that 2nd "big time" show is really needed.

I'm assuming a TNT title defense. Miro vs. Fenix?

But holy loving poo poo that was a good Dynamite. AEW are on fire right now and it's so god drat nice to feel good and excited about wrestling again.

This was also a bad time to notice that AEW have an official global store now (http://global.shopaew.com) meaning I can order shirts without getting murdered on postage fees and import duties. Sadly they don't have Britt Baker's Main Event Rolemodel shirt :(

Miro not being on this week and not being booked for Night 1 has to put him as some kind of lock for Night 2 I would think. I know Kenny's program with Hangman is in full effect and he's beaten to poo poo, but I wish he were going to do one more defense between here and All Out. Another women's match should also be done if we've got nothing else on deck.

The Don-Kenny promo dropped Fight for the Fallen as the next hypothetical title defense, so it seems like that's still in the cards.

I wonder if they do Hangman-Kenny on TV first just to get all the run-in interference bullshit out of the way and then do something much cleaner at All Out

Regarding AEW bringing up the history of Darby and Ethan, somebody pointed this out. When they do this, they always say the promotion toi.

They have not said Evolve once on AEW.

That is really, really, really funny to me.
