Aside from a Jade segment that felt like it was building to…..something ( other than Bow Wow cutting a bad promo from the walk in freezer of a TGI Fridays), I liked this show.

Yeah that was a stand out weird moment for me. So Jade is feuding with ... Lil Bow Wow now? A guy who isn't a wrestler? A guy who isn't a guy, and therefore couldn't wrestle Jade even if he was? If they're building this up to "Lil Bow Wow brings in his good close personal friend Sasha Banks to beat Jade" then OK fine I guess, but it's still kinda weird to do this proxy feud. But if it's just gonna be weeks of this and then Jade squashing Kiera Hogan then I don't know what the gently caress.

I mean it felt like they were heavily laying down the ground work for some huge star to debut and beat Jade after her promo about being the biggest star, but she did also give poo poo to the baddies so this could also be building to a feud between Jade, Kiera Hogan, Red Velvet and ... uhhh... Baddie Number Three? In which case no thanks.

Other than that, pretty good Dynamite. Two absolute banger matches.

My favourite kind of take is the "I did not like what the heel was saying, so he did a bad job" take. They don't expect people to LIKE it when MJF talks up his buddy Triple H, and the story sure as hell isn't building up to MJF proving that the WWE is superior and trying to be a lazy champion is the way to go.

He's gonna get his rear end kicked repeatedly by Bryan Danielson (when Danielson cuts a heartfelt promo about how much he loves William Regal and how he's a father to him, and pleads with his friend Jon Moxley to not hurt him, and then you put Regal in the hospital, I don't think medical science has a word for the kind of poo poo you've put yourself in) and Eddie Kingston and then cry when he doesn't have his title belt or his diamond ring anymore.

also the acclaimed and daddy rear end had a really good backstage segment, someone in the gdt said it had "just came up with this on the fly" energy, or something to that effect and that's true. i've been thinking about that promo a lot. i'm gonna try to sleep but the promo might keep me awake thinking about it. don't watch dynamite if you want to sleep.

Yeah that segment ruled!

One thing I love about Dynamite is how hyped about wrestling it leaves me feeling the next day.

Nymphomaniac is something I'd recommend in condensed format, just not in the 5.5 hour uncut collection :rip:

turn it all around

Love to wake up to a thread completely making GBS threads itself over nothing.

Can we all agree that to the wrestling fan, none of this poo poo is life and death? We had several pretty good weeks of the AEW thread being normal and not a giant pain in the rear end. Then, suddenly, there's one promo that some people liked and some people didn't like and everyone's heads exploded.

Nobody is going to come set your friends and family on fire because you liked or didn't like a wrestling promo, or any other aspect of a wrestling show.

Everyone is allowed to have their own opinions, even if they have the audacity to be the opposite of your opinions. Nobody needs to get poo poo on for whatever they like/dislike and the thread really doesn't need a multi-page derail with petty snipes and stupid bitching.

Is it possible to just talk about wrestling like normal people? To not take everything personal or feel the need to lash out at someone because they feel a different way? Why is it so many people's kneejerk reaction to be sarcastic and antagonistic pricks?

Can everyone just take like 30 steps back, take a few deep breaths, and come back to the thread with a clear head and try not to start any stupid arguments? Is it possible to just discuss the thing we like without losing our minds?

That part is entirely on Tony Khan rather than either of the women in the match because it was an obvious problem dynamic from the literal moment Toni's reign began

this, fans booing jon moxley after cancelling his vacation and putting the company on his back, and fans not chanting "Thank you JJ!" after each Jeff Jarrett match are why AEW fans don't deserve anything good. They're fickle and ungrateful. FICKLE
