Five is gonna end up in the match because when the Elite start taking out people in Dark Order ahead of time, their list will only include the people they know from their own vlog
It's just gonna be the Elite vs. Five in the end and Don Callis will gloat "you wanted a 5v5 match"

Also just the other day I was thinking, in jobber matches on Dark the commentators always go "what an upset this would be" when the jobber attempts a pin, it might be cool if they introduced a new guy they wanted to push by pulling off the upset, and it turns out I missed the Dark where they did it with Yuta.

Haring's work has been licensed to lots of places, including Uniqlo, and I doubt everyone buying it understands all of the meaning or significance. It happens.

Finally watched this week's Dynamite Fyter Fest Night 1 after getting absolutely wasted by my 2nd COVID shot.

drat great show.

-The opener was really good. Karl Anderson vs Mox was a really enjoyable match and perfect to start the night.

-Archer promo on challenging Mox on a Texas Death Match :nice:

-Andrade promo wanting the death triangle? Fuckin' sign me in!

-FTW Tittle match: Good match, I expected the outcome considering that Cage was steering away from Team Taz's way to do things.

-Cody wants Tommy Malakay End Black Exe:Late[cl-r]: :lmao: light's out, brawl and well, there's another Cody's feud.

-PnP salute Tully: not bad and clearly babyface move to not hit him and even say that it was a fake crowbar (Gordon Freeman would be pissed off).

-Anxious Millennial Cowboy and Dark Order vs The Elite segment: AEW tittle shot and a tag team tittle shot if they win a 5vs5? I'm completely on board. Make it John Silver's return too!
I lost it with this. Love that every week he gets a different one.

-Chris Jericho and MJF promo? eeeeh nah.

-Matt Hardy vs Christian Cage: Solid 2000's WWE match. And I say that as a compliment. The end of the match was weak tho.

-Miro's promo: SO GOOD. :allears:

-Britt Baker DMD promo? Feud with Nyla that feels boring already. Not a fan at all.

-Mox promo as result of Archer's on IWGP tittle match: The usual Mox promo, short and that was a good point.

-Sammy Guevara vs Wheeler Yuta: A short match that it was both to give Sammy a win and to make fans know Yuta better. Was a good match and I'm in if they're giving Yuta more time. The guy can do technical wrestling and bouncy stuff. Putting him with Best Friends is a good move.

-Penelope Ford vs Yuka Sakazaki: I don't get how Penelope is getting so many wins but at least Yuka won this, because she's so much better worker than Penelope that isn't even fair. Penelope could fit for low-midcard matches on the other channel. Fuckin' sign Kilynn King coward Tony.

-Darby Allin vs All Ego Ethan Page: Their chemistry is amazing. Great match and that drat Ego's Edge drop to the stairs... :stare:

And after all that, just a reminder: do not try to invade an AEW show because the security will tear you a new one. I think Darby is scared from the guy behind him

One time a guy stole some downhill skis out of my jeep and I was so mad I punched a mailbox. I'm against crime, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
If Jericho goes over MJF then he should be Page’s first title program. There’s a history there and Page’s initial loss to Jericho set off this whole saga.

Keith Haring and later on his estate were incredible successful at marketing his artwork. His jiggly men basically saturated the culture for a bit there.

how do they get Miro out from the TNT title and into a heavyweight title feud?

also put me down as thinking Archer might do work for NJPW, even if it's just for a 'Los Angeles loop' picking up the US title, defending on NJPW Strong a bunch, and coming back to AEW Dynamite to drop it to somebody coming in from Japan/Mox in a return (?). I don't think Archer left on the worst terms, and the relationship between AEW and NJPW is such that it's feasible.

I think this is broadly true inasmuch as Cody isn't pushing to always be on top, but it does remain the case that out of 40 singles matches in AEW, Cody had only lost four. Much like the Bucks, I think that Cody would probably lose more matches if it were up to him, but Tony Khan wants him protected.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

I dunno if it's the fact Cody wins so much or the fact that losing to Cody tends to send his opponent into a black hole. Where is Ogogo anyway?

...looking it up the answer is "Went back to England" so my point stands

Andrade and Malakai Black will be well positioned to challenge after All Out if they go over a Death Triangle guy/Cody in their first feuds
Ricky Starks revenge match post-neck injury
Ethan Page would be a good filler first feud but he’d have to get a meaningful singles win at some point

I like the idea of a heel Christian but at this point I would save that for when Jungle Boy wins the TNT title or something

I feel like they should have guys like Christian talk to Matt Hardy about the idea of reinvention when they're signed on. Christian's in ring stuff has all been good to great, but he's so bland right now. I don't think he should go back to 5 second pose, jackass idiot Christian or anything, but there's gotta be an older version of that character he can do that incorporates his history but gives him some kind of new personality hook.

I am genuinely astonished they put QT back on TV the week after the blissful end of an interminable feud where he never looked good. I was very receptive to heel QT as a character / the Factory as a faction, but the execution was a dud post-turn, and at this point I can’t imagine what you could possibly do with him that would engage an audience

I don't know if Comoroto can go by himself (mic/promo skills) and is a shame that he is basically in a jobber stable right now. Solow is nothing great and QT got boring. I don't see the deal about Ogogo after some matches where his wrestling was green and the selling point is "single punch".
