didnt watch dynamite yet. the card looked atrocious tbh

this was one of those nights where the card didnt excite me at all but I ended up enjoying all the matches. Mox was beating the poo poo out of Jeff. Hangman gave his opponent so much and made him look like a million bucks. Jericho just decided to do some crazy poo poo from the top rope and rvd is somehow gassed and red but still able to land all his moves. My opinion? Check it out if you'd like to see some cool matches.

RVD capped off Hangman's promo by just hucking a chair in Swerve's general direction, which was funny

how does a company "think they have [person] for a while"? either they signed a contract or they didn't. :confused:

For someone with his place on the card his delivery is consistently terrible. He’s fine when he just runs in the ring and starts hitting the other guy, on the mic he sounds like a guy who’s afraid to make phone calls.

Out of curiosity is this thread for "legitimate gripes about AEW's problems" or is it "completely make believe stuff, invented to make AEW seem worse than it actually is"?

Because AEW has plenty of legit problems but "Hangman can't promo" is stretching pretty far lmao.

hangman's promos fit some of the subtler aspects of his character but that doesn't make them good to listen to. they are mostly bad to listen to.

I think wrestlers acknowledging and promoing about "I'm gonna finish higher than you in the RANKINGS" is a terrible decision. Yes rankings determine the number one contender, but BEING NUMBER ONE CONTENDER is what they should give a poo poo about, winning the gold and kicking this person's rear end is what they should care about, not "well my math tells me my won-loss record is better than yours, don't you dare try to claim that you, a peon, will finish higher in the rankings than moi." Seems like a desperate attempt by Tony to try to make the rankings matter by having the wrestlers mention them in their promos as if they're important

Right and this is awesome, it's just that when they promo'd referencing the rankings and when wrestlers talk about their ongoing mathematical conclusions of won/loss records, it's lame. "Becoming the No 1 contender" has a subtle but important shift of focus and motivation than specifically the ranking system.
