Dave's logic on defending AEW not announcing a loving world title match on AEW is faulty as hell. "It's proven to work" WTF? I didn't know there would be a world title match on the show until Hangman Page was walking to the ring, Bryan who's job is covering this didn't know either until he was watching the show. I'm sure tons of people who skipped last night's show weren't aware at all.

Also I think doing an AEW title match with no build just diminishes the title. It should always be something that people look forward to, not on a random episode of Dynamite.

I mean it makes sense, this was his first non wwe match in 10 years so of course it will feel like a wwe match, that's all he knows. Work rate on main roster is pretty good all things considered, it's just the booking that's atrocious.

Kento Miyahara vs Takao Omori

Probably the last notable singles match Omori will have and it's on his 30th anniversary. 1,000+ turned out in Giant Baba's hometown for this, a rare Triple Crown match outside of Tokyo & they got their money's worth.

Slower than your typical Kento match, with the story that he underestimated Omori as an old geezer who is past it, and eats several Axe Bombers for his hubris. Really good stuff

This whole WOR felt like "neither of us actually watched the segments we're complaining about". Frustrating.

They did rightfully tear apart the MJF/Regal segment. That was so bad on so many fronts.

It ruled, MJF laying out Regal was awesome. One of the best moments of the year.

You mean the top heel laying out a former babyface who just turned heel by screwing over the top babyface who we're now supposed to feel sorry for despite the fact just last week the fans were wanting the top babyface to beat the poo poo out of him. All this after a long and boring promo in front of a dead crowd.

Think of how much more sense that segment would have made if Regal didn't screw over Moxley and MJF won with the firm's help. Then with Moxley out of the building, Regal could have confronted MJF alone about taking the easy way out, then MJF could have laid him out. This way everyone is in their proper roles and MJF would get heat for attacking everyone's favorite Brit rather than them expecting us to feel bad that MJF attacked the prick who betrayed Moxley for some reason.

The most questionable voting is Takuma Iroha coming in 4th for rookie of the year. I tilted my head in confusion so far I'm almost broke my neck. That's so questionable it has to be some sort of error.

Wait, the 9 year veteran Takumi Iroha from Marvelous? Who was Artist of Stardom champ way back in 2015? That is bewildering

Which is why I'm thinking that has to be a mistake. It's not even that she appeared in Stardom and people saw her for the first time as she didn't appear in Stardom in 2022.

I'm not subscribed, is Dave coping in his own newsletter that TK won Best Booker and Promoter?

Because TK was both of those things and it's not close. The things the man did on PPV in 2022 were loving insane, he's lapping the field at this point. Paul Levesque is a joke compared to him.

And yet AEW's attendance and ratings are down from where they began the year and wwe's was up. They were competitive near the beginning of the year where Dynamite had a chance to beat Raw some weeks but now they're closer to getting doubled.
