OFFICIAL RACIST
Time for a new game, guess the cagematch score the reviewer gave the match, this week its Taya vs Britt from last night's Dynamite:

quote:

"Ah, yes, I can TOTALLY count on my fellow Cagemates to be completely objective about rating a Britt Baker match (or any other AEW female talent who isn't Japanese). Seriously, this is disgusting. Britt Baker LITERALLY held that match together, and made no botches/mistakes last night. Those 2-3 mistakes were on Taya Valkyrie unfortunately. However, last night was just an off-night for her; so Taya (and Britt) shouldn't be crucified just because of a couple of flaws. Most of this women's match picked up greatly near the end, and the finish was pretty cool with Britt having a GREAT counter out of Taya's Road to Valhalla into the Lockjaw. Anyway, the amount of extremely low ratings meant to shame one or both women here is incredibly disappointing and shameful. Do better."

As a free hint, the average match score is a 1.92 out of 10 right now.

The answer: A 7/10.

I think Dalton Castle and Danhausen are both good litmus tests of if I can ignore someone's wrestling opinions. You don't have to love them, but if you're dismissing them based on their gimmicks there's absolutely no point talking about wrestling.

The important part here is that Danhausen and Dalton Castle have absolutely nothing in common, so it's just a tell that they don't even watch the product.

Yeah this was bothering me because in the last decade of pro wrestling I really can’t think of many American ppv’s where you know the whole card more than a month in advance. You usually don’t start really cementing matches until you got like 2 shows left. Also even if AEW had all the matches ready to go people would argue that AEW is too predictable and they miss when it felt spontaneous and uncertain. There’s truly no winning.

Most folks just used to the WWE way of promoting a ppv, where you already know the main of the next year's Mania by May 1st.

Every time AEW tries long-term planning it gets blown up by injuries or backstage fights, so maybe they're better off just winging it.

I'm just continually baffled by people thinking it's a completely different show from Dynamite when it's all the same guy booking? Is it literally just "the Young Bucks aren't on it therefore it's automatically The Good One"??

Pretty much. If that 6 man was on Dynamite the Colliders would not be happy with all the Moves being done. As is, Saturday night's alright for fighting.

Collision is on a good run with a few great FTR matches back to back that makes it feel like the show is elevated right now. Also and probably more pertinently it's a new entry point for people who have been hating on AEW for years but want to get to watch it now. If they can just compartmentalize all of that hate against the young bucks they can watch collision and feel like they aren't gigantic hypocrites.

Rampage is the show where Moxley surrenders to save Yuta from being hanged by the Hangman because months ago Hangman had Moxley in the same choke and he knew he couldn’t get out of it. And Oh, we forgot to show you that part, but trust me it happened.


Collision is the show where MJF loudly says “I am upset that I cost this team the match” then the announce team informs us that Max put himself in the way of the Shatter Machine and almost reversed it, but ate the pin, and is upset that his sacrifice cost his team the belts! And then Adam Cole uses his title to try and cheer him up. But Max is conflicted! We know he’s conflicted because he’s biting his knuckle and stomping his feet. But it’s ok, because Cole loudly says to the camera “Do what you gotta do, Max”. Then Max violently throws his title away, while the announce team tells us that he’s not going to clobber Adam.

“Hug it out!” Says the audience

And they do!

They’re both great television, but if you’re the guy complaining that AEW needs better stories, guess which presentation you’ll like more.

One thing is that WWE plans seem to leak way earlier, so the card is known even if it's not official.
