4th labor of Jericho should be MJF telling him it’s the final countdown to the end . . . .

Jericho should just have to win a battle royal for one of the labors. First man in, last man out kind of thing

It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


Fourth week challenge should be for Jericho to go to Sturgis Bike Week and try and persuade people to get vaccinated.

Lance Archer as a transitional champ to get the NJPW US title on Kenny?

Or Mox being pulled in for some high profile matches in NJPW, maybe a big G1 run? Maybe winning it?

Next challenge is just a baffled MJF going,"What? I didn't make any more.... it was Nick Gage for God's sake!"

The next challenges are obviously going to be Mirror Jericho, then Goro, and finally Shang Tsung.

A boombox is not a toy!

On rewatch, it's fair to admit Spears / Jericho was better than I originally thought.

I'm still thinking about MDK, Death Triangle, Bullet Club, and Lance Archer the next day like it was a PPV or something. But no, it was just an episode of TV.

Insane to think how fun AEW is right now even without the two rumored new deals.

my first Dynamite is months. I enjoyed it. Easy enough to follow, though my word there's a lot of stables/groups to try and follow. MJF remains the best heel I've heard or seen in years. Main event was a bit much for me, I just don't go for blood and guts and such, but I am glad others enjoyed it.

Probably will be tuning in next week. Good work, dirt sheets!

The 5 trials should have been one of those multi-layered final bosses from the SNES Final Fantasy games like Kefka.

Also I didn't notice in the recap til now but Miro was wearing a Bloodsport jacket? I'm absolutely buying that show if/when it happens. Bloodsport in general is always rock solid.

The show ruled so much. We live pretty far away so we ducked out before the main event of Elevation and really wanted to get home by midnight since we both had to work this morning. I will echo that this arena has the worst concessions in history and that I ended up missing most of Dark just trying to get some food. If they come back to this arena again hard recommend to just getting there as early as possible so you dont wait an eternity for a bottle of water.

WWE has preconditioned us to people getting beat in their home town so it was so nice to see Archer win gold in Dallas. Just an awesome show live front to back. Also Hikuleo is loving huge. I didn't realize how big he is but drat.

Kaz got done dirty. The Elite Hunter gimmick was the first time I've been invested in him since AEW started but the gimmick seemingly just got sacrificed to the Hangman angle. Where does he even go from here? Finding a new tag team partner to go up against Gallows and Anderson?

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

That show would be an all-timer just for the main event, wow what a freaking match and great to see Archer win a big match like that.

When Nick Gage showed up my phone blew up; this is one hell of a way to capitalize on the success of Dark Side of the Ring. Basically every one of those texts was some variation of "Jericho's dead" or "holy poo poo Jericho dies next week" or from my Dad "he is crazy 4 real".

Yeah the crowd didn't really seem into it and we sorta figured out real quick that it was just a vessel to further that angle. I don't even get it. You've got an entire stable in the DO. Why not just do like Reynolds or Colt vs Gallows if you wanna sacrifice a warm body for the sake of the angle? It makes much more sense. Still a great match though.

I thought it would be cool if they set up a match between Kaz and either Gallows or Anderson before the Hangman/Kenny match where if Kaz won, the Good Brothers would be banned from ringside. I guess they still could do something good with the Elite Hunter story but yeah I wouldn't have had him lose here

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

AEW is turning into someone's game of Firepro where it's totally feasible to have Chris Jericho vs Nick Gage and the winner faces Daniel Bryan, and then maybe this Krang from Ninja Turtles I downloaded

He wasn’t remember from the board or anything, I imagine he pops up to dispatch Cutler during the main event next week. The only downside of the current composition of the Elite is they don’t have an obvious mid-tier singles guy for him to pair off with established in the group.

Would not be shocked if Chris Jericho vs Lance Storm was Jericho’s retirement match, ending it all as he began, he’d love the poetry of that.

I think it's a testament to how well AEW is booked that you can take someone who's kinda floundering like Lance Archer and immediately reestablish him as a top guy in literally two weeks. Also Lance totally deserved that, the guy's great and has been a real trooper.

Lead Pipe Cinch posted:

On his first night? I’d set the line at 2.5.

Jericho really deserve credit for how his face sold Nick Gage.just pure “.what did I get my self into.”

Yeah, it was a total Triple H making GBS threads his pants because of Cactus Jack moment. Top grade stuff. Also the Jericho/Spears match itself was much better than it had any right to be.

I mean, Gallows had outside help and it's not like he has to stop going after The Elite just because he lost one match. Could just be a catalyst for him to get even more maniacal about taking them down.

This should strengthen his resolve to use increasingly more guerilla tactics. That singles match was the equivalent of a small rebel force meeting the opponent in an open field with an honorable battle - don't be a dummy, Kaz.

Lance not only had the benefit of winning the IWGP US title, but he also beat Moxley to do it. That's huge for him. Hasn't only Omega ever beaten Mox in singles competition in AEW?

Edit: He's also the only guy to do it clean, if you count winning a hardcore deathmatch by stabbing a guy with a fork and throwing him through 2 tables "clean". I mean, it's within the rules.

I’m very into the implication that Andrade’s going to have to have a tag team that “works for him” now that the Lucha Bros have turned him down and he’s gone and gotten himself in a trios match with Death Triangle. Absent a debut of someone like Rush/Ryu Lee, I wouldn’t hate them getting weird with it and trading out TH2’s neon for suits.
