I got a laugh out of Kenny saying Five "wouldn't last two minutes" with him. Remember back on one of the early pandemic Darks, Kenny wrestled some unknown little guy named Alan Angels and they went twelve minutes (including Angels kicking out after a V-Trigger), and the Internet hot take factory lit up claiming Kenny had squandered all his credibility?

Jericho referenced this on commentary right after Kenny said that.

I enjoyed the show, but I think I set my expectations too high for what would happen on the last Daily’s Show before going on the road for 4 named shows in a row.

I am very excited that he march to Hangman/Kenny is underway, because once they pull the trigger on Page as champion, I feel like that opens a lot of interesting possibilities for programs for the title.

i cant believe the Vickie vs Rebel tag match wasn't a double swerve or even a single swerve with vickie stepping out. like diamante or abadon taking vickie's spot

You could have done an angle where Vicki and Rebel scouted the women's roster for suitable tag partners for Britt and Nyla. What an utter waste of time. It felt like something they might have tried in the early pandemic days when they were short on people

Thanks for adding my meme to the OP. Loved the show tonight.

Why is Shawn Spears looking so sickly as of late? Does the chair dimension sap his life force?

He might have a lot of poo poo going on in his life, with his wife being fired from WWE without a permanent residency or a work visa

this glorious monument

Awesome episode of Dynamite. I really felt like this was going to be Sammy's night though.

~ I've poo poo on the Elite being too antagonistic and winning all the time so I absolutely didn't see this coming. It was a very pleasant surprise. And it was much easier to appreicate the match without Don Callis in commentary. He's super good at generating heat and keeping Kenny and the Bucks from feeling too goofy but he doesn't need to commentate every Elite match. Of course the Bucks will and should win next week.

~ So basically turning heel has broken The Bucks' cocky limiters. They're now approaching cocky level 256 where the coding starts breaking down and poo poo stops making sense. By All In they're going to get hit with an overflow error, kill their music, shave their heads and come out in basic black tights.

~ Miro. Holy poo poo Miro. Miro is awesome and amazing. His new music isn't great.

~ The time we've all been waiting for is nigh. Time for Hangmin v Kenny. But first Hangmin must defeat his inner doubts and fears. Maybe Hangman will lose his first shot at Kenny but I don't think he will. Kenny can't really get much more unhinged as champion and that's been half his story.

~ Subtext is bullshit. Come out and tell your friends you love them and believe in them.

~ I still don't understand why MJF needs to lose exactly one singles match over a span of almost 2 years. He's not a force of nature or an unconquerable champion. He's over on raw talent. Talent can eat losses.

~ Sammy...going from 'beating MJF' to 'beating Shawn Spears' feels like if Sting went from "beating Hulk Hogan" to "beating Syxx".

~ I hope there isn't a retirement stipulation on MJF v Jericho (unless Jericho wins). Given AEW's tendency to stick to stips the idea of them just slamming the door on any future Jericho matches like that feels wrong somehow. And logically Jericho shouldn't win a match between the two of them. But let's be real; Jericho has very little shine left to give and MJF, like I just said, isn't gonna lose optics just because he takes an 'L'.

i was really like.. huh.. theyre just... theyre just doing the match as advertised.. uh oh lol

that mostly sucked, and especially that reba got all hosed up and needs a shoot crutch now but otherwise that was just a stellar show that moved a lot of stuff along and had its own big moments.

the bucks porn staches are my new favorite thing in wrestling and eddie and penta finally putting a chink in the armor of the elite rocked. frankie kazarian looked like a god drat superhero watching from the raised platform in the back. i love that setup of dailys place for that little extra balcony.

i really liked uno's promo with kenny and it started off something that really gives the dark order like a serious story to work with. they all believe in hangman and support him yeah, but... kenny's right about them speaking out of turn for him. i just really love how like, invested the whole story with hangman and the aew title is and its gonna be so awesome when he finally gets it.

miro and pillman was a really fun obvious underdog match, and miro is just incredible right now, i really like the idea behind the new theme but it sounds a little... mushy on tv idk id need to hear it a cpl more times but it could use a little tweaking imo. it feels like he could be tnt champion forever, and then double champ, and then tag champs by himself.

and good god that main event was something else. that was a main event wrestling match. im really sad that sammy didn't win but like, he looked absolutely incredible in that match and he absolutely didnt come out looking worse. i kinda figured he was losing after mjf pre-emptively challenged jericho anyway.

oh and i really liked the sting/darby/ethan page thing this week, how bout that! and jungle jack v my boyfriend jack evans was good too! great show.

What's also great for Hangman is you've seen him put on some great matches, beat some big names. So you know he can win. He just needs to be in the right mindset.

I still can't believe Cody snuck in a clip of his stupid gender reveal party into the Daily's Place montage like it was a big important moment on the level of Brodie's memorial.

Nobody should care about gender reveals. Nobody should have gender reveals. That segment wasn't significant in the least to Dynamite's tenure at Daily's.

he's gotta lose the first shot at it, Hangman's whole story is that he's afraid of failure and has to overcome that. he has to fail at beating kenny, realise it's not the end of the world, gain his confidence and security and keep trying with the support of his friends in order to beat him later on at full gear or revolution next year.

On the flip side - Cody is a great guy who has been there for a grieving family and hasn't made the show just about him like Jeff Jarrett did in TNA so he can have it.

June 30th, 2021 is a day I will always remember. It was the day I became cynical, bitter, and distraught. You may call it an overreaction for me to feel this way simply because of the business practices of a single wrestling company, but let me explain what all of this means to me.

My life was thrown off balance and I never regained my footing after that day, because I lost my ability to respect. An essential part of being human is to feel respect for those who may or may not be deserving of it. But it is equally human to feel painful disillusionment when someone or something you respected turns out to be much less than you thought. But the level of betrayal I felt when AEW put Cody's gender reveal in a video package tore something from me that I'll never be able to recover. They tore away my ability to respect anything, and they tore away my ability to feel human.

I agree gender reveal things are kind of lame and old fashioned

on the other hand minor lol at getting bent out of shape of it being on the screen for like a second. totally understand being against the concept, but earlier someone mentioned how certain criticisms of the show seem overblown and this really feels like one of those times
