JR's flub is so hilariously bad i feel like Tony Khan can only laugh while kinda pulling his hair a bit

at the same time, retire JR and let's get a booth that skews towards the money demo age wise please ffs, i'm so over JR's grumpy old man routine, flubs, whining, and hearing about Buster Meatshed, Hammer "The Killer" Bludovich, Johnny Whippits, Fancy Freddie Dance, The Mongol, and all the other dead mid atlantic jaybrones

loving put some respect on Johnny Whippits name

i was mostly posting on discord instead of the live thread, was mjf actually injured? i was thinking he was just selling really well and it worked in context of all the spots they were doing in the match

Unless something comes out later about the match he was selling imo.

so they have hinted very strongly that Jericho was going to be on the Rampage desk. (unless the popular existing wrestler they referenced was Mark Henry) and today's show at least showed that it's not going to be unbearable.


it might even be good.

Jericho is very good on commentary when he's on for the whole show.

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.

I think it is a fairly important moment in Cody and Brandi's lives.

I think my favorite small spot of the match was MJF trying to beg Sammy not to hit him with the 630. At first I wondered "why didn't he just roll away?" and remembered just minutes before that Sammy loving launched himself into the crowd to hit MJF. loving fantastic storytelling.

Another thing I loved about the Dark Order segment backstage is how when Hangman came in hollerin', they didn't even waver in their surety that it was time, they're more confident in themselves and in their friendship with Adam as a person, rather than their fanboy recruiting, and they know what's best for their friend and that it's time for him to stand up, and Adam couldn't even challenge them on it

It's a great contrast from when Hangman got angry with the Bucks and they just called him an ROH jobber.

I honestly thought Britt looked good in that match. Mostly by comparison, but I think Nyla vs. Britt will be good.

Pylons
Mar 16, 2009

Drakkel posted:

The issue is what does Britt do after that? They get a few weeks doing the the Nyla feud, then Yuka is there but they already said she's only in the states through July so at best that feud can only really amount to "Yuka shows up, Britt beats her, Yuka leaves again." That leaves like a full 5 months until Rosa is free to sign with AEW, so what do they do til then?

Tay has beaten Britt in a tag match. She never had a match with Kris Statlander that she was meant to last year, Riho is an easy defense option, Big Swole won their feud last year. If Anna is returning soon she's an option too.

Speaking of divisive things, Miro's new theme, Redeemer is up online and it's loving awesome but maybe not a great wrestling theme as it currently stands. It's an epic TV show theme, it's genuinely excellent, but I'm not sure how well it's going to translate with a crowd.

I love it a lot, but it needs a little bit more. Some kinda hook when he does his stomp.

Miro's theme doesn't need changing at all cause it's fantastic. What needs to change is his entrance cause just coming out and doing a little hop doesn't fit the theatricaliy of the piece. Give him some fancy lighting and something like the Randy Orton pyro waterfall and it'll be perfect

Maybe if he prays before a match during his entrance or something?

So anyway, in his Q&A podcast Sean Ross Sapp reiterated that the releases will have a domino effect a few months from now and (separately, though I got the vibe they were related) that a "big name" has a contract expiring this year and is planning to jump ship (whether from WWE to AEW or AEW to WWE or another promotion entirely he didn't specify).

Lead Pipe Cinch posted:

I don’t see how contextually that would indicate an AEW->WWE jump if they were related items, not that that jump isn’t one but able once the initial contracts start to expire.

He didn't explicitly say they're related but I agree, wouldn't make sense for it to be an AEW to WWE jump if they are.

I’m actually curious who the first big AEW to WWE jump will be. It’s inevitable that it will happen eventually.

Not talking about the people who wrestled a bit on dark and went to NXT. I mean like a Moxley level star or someone close to it.

The only name that really comes to mind is MJF and I still don't think he's very likely.

MJF is on a 5 year deal so AEW would have to have 0 defections from anyone who signed a 3 year deal.

Is there anyone huge who they only have signed to a 3 year deal that would jump ship?

AEW's tag division is just stupid stacked. Private Party are young and they're featured weekly at this point even if just to do stuff with Matt. I will admit I would've liked to see them spend more time on Impact. That show just frankly has more space for people to get TV time, reps in the ring, and they could pretty quickly be the tag champs without much fuss I'd say. Like do I love PP? Yeah. But I also love Santana and Ortiz, FTR, Jurassic Express, Death Triangle, Best Friends, The Acclaimed (yes I said it), and I'm absolutely forgetting some names.

Everybody loves The Acclaimed.

Dave Star Ratings:

Kenny vs. Jungle Boy: 4.5

Penta & Eddie vs. The Young Bucks: 4.25

MJF vs. Sammy: 4.5 (says it probably would've been MOTYC/gotten 5 with a different finish and Sammy winning)
