Dynathoughts An active looking limited crowd in the building. Sammy gets mugged by Spears. Not much crowd reaction. 1) Powerhouse Hobbs vs Hangmin Page. The place is wild for Hangman. Hobbs is becoming a really awesome big guy. His style is simple, but Hangman works well with it. This match isn't fast, but it's very enjoyable. Hobbs is just hurling Page around the place. Solo Jones. Did Page get busted open in the scalp? His hair is red with blood. God, I love a Page moonsault. I think this might be the best Hobbs has looked. He's matured as a performer so much lately. And I like that they saved the shenanigans for late in the match! And more chaos in Team Taz! This Cage face burn is going well. Very nicely done end sequence. This was really good. I love the AEW habit of starting with one hell of a match. I don't know if the sound mix is off or if Jungle Boy is just this quiet, but as good as this build sequence was, JB was whisper quiet in it. Promo from Associate Stooge Brandon Cutler and the Young Bucks. Cutler trying to join in and getting told to shut up was fun. Cutler pumping his fist when they liked his line was so great. Tully Blanchard talking with Konnan. Konnan uses a sheepshagger joke. This isn't a great promo. Tully knows very much about Spanish. The "Greeters" line was fun. The guys in masks are obviously FTR. This is fun but it's also nothing. Oh poo poo, that piledriver on Konnan was filthy. 2) Dante Martin vs Matt Sydal. Oh gently caress off, Vickie. Which is, I know, the reaction they're going for. They need to get Andrade away from her. Thanks for interrupting, Matt. Andrade has some great facial expressions in this bit. But I don't know why this went this way. All right, time for a wrestling match. Congrats for calling the guy who you were just told has 20 years experience a kid, Toney. Wow, this match is so much fun. Martin just makes up gravity defying poo poo every time he moves. Sydal is still fast but has developed cunning too He's become a really great technician. Jesus, some of the grapplefuck positions that Sydal gets Martin into here are just astounding. This is just so much fun. And just what the gently caress was that leaping Sunset Flip? Great match. Jungle Boy giving a promo, Christian joins him and it helps. I really feels like they're doing their best with JB's identified weak point. Jade hawking T-shirts. OK, sure. I enjoyed Sterling trying to tear the shirt and failing and Jade just doing it easily. MJF and the Pinnacle call Alex Marvez Pig Vomit, so SOMEONE listened to Howard Stern at an early age (or saw Private Parts). Hager and Jericho fight MJF and Wardlow to the ring. Spears is also here I guess? Numbers game works as it obviously should. They're building clearly towards someone in particular coming out. Let's see if they do it tonight. Oh yes. Sammy gets the biggest pop of the whole group. People are just so relieved that they get to cheer for him now. Fired up babyface Sammy yelling "Hey, rear end in a top hat!" at MJF is superb. Good segment, glad that Jericho is receding and letting Sammy come forward. Miro thanks god for making him powerful and his hot wife flexible. drat. He's going to have a conversation with Brian Pillman Jr about respect. Welp, I hope Griff is ready for a solo run. 3) Ethan Page vs Bear Bronson. Oh hey, Bear Boulder is Back! I absolutely cannot wait to see Bronson get yeeted around the place by Page. Oh, this is a nice start. Bronson has great facial expressions. Love the missile dive from Bronson, love Sky sacrificing himself. Bear Country are great. Men of The Year are great. I give SO much more of a poo poo about Sky now that he and Page are working together. Wow, these two really work well together. Bronson is bewilderingly agile, Page is Miu Watanabe level stronk. That superplex was a thing of beauty. Oh genuinely holy gently caress that delayed Ego's Edge was absolutely astounding. Gravity got defied for a second match in a row. Really good match. I kind of wanted Page to leave the promo at just "I'm not stupid" and leave. Except that now we get the setup for Allin / Page and I want that so much. Oh jesus gently caress CASKET MATCH. Yeeeahhhhhhh. Dumb but great. Darby is going to recreate the Shunma Katsumata coffin spot. Britt accurately pointing out that Vickie is a loving idiot for requesting a match. "Claws of the cougar" was a great line from Nyla 4) The Bunny vs Kris Statlander. Bunny has improved a lot lately. This match has potential. I wouldn't mind seeing Blade vs Cassidy at some point too. Jeez, Statlander is strong, and her strikes are amazing. Oof, that dump to the outside from the headstand spot was nasty. Bunny takes charge and turns to her speciality, namely dirty shots. Match lags just a little in the middle but most of this is a hard hitting and well fought contest. Stat is clearly building up her endurance through matches like this. That sideways Blue Thunder Bomb was great. The knuckle duster spot was awesome. Good match, was more than just the Women's Spot on the card. Post match Cassidy gets hosed up by the Hybrid 2 and the Blade. Jeez, that was a hell of a shot on Cassidy with the brass knuckles. Blade vs Cassidy could be a hell of a match. Quote Tweet Marshall being interviewed. Strap Match. Sure. Servicable promo from Pillman drat, next Wednesday is STUFFED. Eddie and Penta interviewed (with Alex). Absolutely love Eddie's shirt. Penta promoing en espanol is so loving cool. And the Alex thing translates to face pretty well. 5) Jungle Boy vs Kenny Omega. Jungle Boy is absurdly over with the crowd. Just roaring for him. This has big fight feel all over it. I'm so glad we get ring intros, it makes it feel like a prize fight. drat, the ref had a babby too? Jeez, there was a lot of loving going on in AEW back in September. Paul Turner ejects all the hangers-on, which is frankly just a smart decision. Don joins a two and a half man booth. Kenny, that hair thing was... genuinely unsettling. Oh, this is really nice so far. Athletic big match style, with Jungle Boy breaking out shine and Kenny continually turning the tables. Every time Jungle Boy gets some offense together or thwarts something Omega is doing, the building just explodes. These two match very well, and Kenny is really working a bullying style well here. gently caress, that brainbuster from Jungle Boy looked absolutely deadly. OK, I'll admit that I BIT on a couple of these two counts. I knew they wouldn't but... what if they did? Jeez, Kenny just did a piledriver on Jungle Boy that was just whacking him repeatedly against the canvas. SNARE TRAP. SNARE TRAP. gently caress. Oh god, I really thought this was going to be the end game. poo poo, that Irish Whip clothesline was lovely. Jesus, Jungle Boy is a goddamn main eventer. Kenny wins, as we knew he would, but loving hell. I just said it, but it bears repeating. Jungle Boy is a goddamn. Main. Eventer. Post match, Kenny about to beat down on Jungle Boy and Christian gets involved and we get a schmozz. Hardy Family Office is out. Young Bucks are out. Bad guys work together for common goals because teamwork makes the dream work. I was expecting a solid show with one very good match at the top of the card. What I got instead was a show that was top to bottom great. So many young people stepping up and showing they had what it took. So many good performances from new or newly elevated talent. This was a great show.

Rarity posted:Great show tonight. The main event slapped, the opener was real good, Dante/Sydal was still good the second time, Sammy continues to look like a superstar (he'd better beat MJF on Wednesday!) and Miro going full crazed religious zealot is incredible Mironu Suzuki

Lead Pipe Cinch posted:JR seemed saltier than usually about anticipated criticism of his errors last night. Jesus gently caress. One of my minor pleasures in wrestling is seeing a big lad who can plant someone entirely through the canvas with uranage / spinebuster type moves, and Hobbs is Inamura level at this.

So is Leyla Hirsch out of rotation for these shows? Feels like a while since I saw her.

Ganso Bomb posted:Wasn't she on Dynamite like a week and a half ago? When was her match with Nyla? Looked it up and it was two weeks ago (it was the episode on the 11th). So maybe she's just not been on the current round of tapings.
