It's good AEW quote day. Jericho was asked about Vince's competition quote.

quote:

“We’re not worried about what WWE is and we haven’t been since day one. We weren’t worried about what NXT did. The whole time with the NXT vs. AEW war, which ended in a total abysmal failure for NXT, we never once had a TV screen watching what they were doing when we were doing it. We didn’t know what segments they were in. We didn’t know any of that. Now, the WWE way is you’re watching what the competition is doing when they were on, we didn’t do that. And it was no disrespect. We just didn’t care. We were too busy worrying about our own company and about our own stories, and about our own show to care what anybody else is doing. And that’s one of the reasons why we did so well is that we were concentrating on AEW, not anything else.”



🤔🤔🤔

He's right about the war being an abysmal failure tho.

This is v true and I wish Warner's press releases would start referring to AEW as the most watched wrestling company on TV.

Malakai being calm, collected, and completely unhinged is great. Miro being completely unhinged, completely unhinged, and completely unhinged is great.

I think I just like Psycho Killers in wrestling.

They had Moxley and he was the Lunatic Fringe.

They had Miro and they told him he wasn't over despite full crowds chanting for him.

They had Tommy End and had him team with Ricochet.

Don't know who had it worse.

Its been a while but I remember really enjoying the Black/Ricochet tag team. It did suffer from being a tag team being named "The Tag Team of <Name> & <Name>" though, so there was never a ton of chemistry there and it was never going to last.

I figured as much. It's just that him saying "don't get it twisted I'm not a wrestling fan I'm a WWE fan :smug:" really hammers home the point that they desperately want you to see them as anything but a wrestling organization.

Corgis love bread. And Puro


Extremely brief Fight For The Fallen thoughts: as a show I didn't think it was quite as good as the previous week, opener was the MOTN, main event was good-not-great and mostly it was just enjoyable that this messy Spectacle was on TV, which is pretty cool. FTR vs PNP was probably best of the rest.

Surprised how much I enjoy JR in this environment: big improvement over him and Josh Barnett. Great promos from Miro and Moxley, and the Cody Black segment was very good. Bit disappointed Cody wore all white and didn't blade though...

Julia Hart seems real loving green. Which wouldn't be a huge issue if that wasn't the only woman's match of the show.

now that they';ve done it both on dynamite and on dark, I've noticed that they're hinting at something. Fenix keeps putting Pac on his shoulders after victories before Andrade comes out.

I suspect that at some point, he's gonna do that, and then will electric chair drop/fall backwards with Pac and turn heel on him.

STAC Goat

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I don't see where Andrade/Lucha Bros goes if not a Lucha Bros heel turn. It makes sense to me. I dig Death Triangle but they're never really been able to get out of first gear between shutdowns and injuries. They're just in this spot where they can be counted on for a great match fill in but they don't really have their own stuff. So a heel turn for thee Lucha Bros could give them a fresh spark and maybe propel them to go against Santana and Ortiz if they do win the tag belts as some anticipate. And it gives something for Pac to be angry about and have a bunch of great matches in a kind of cool mirror of Kingston's run.

The alternative is Andrade getting some other team but I dunno know who, I'm not itching for more bodies filling spots, and generic trios matches feels overly simplistic to me as character/feud directions. So I'm kinda pulling for the heel turn.

I think the main note was it wasn't the strongest performer to put into the very limited 1 women's match slot that Dynamite typically has.

The most charitable reading I can give is that they're saving premium matches for when the women's division has more screentime/focus.
