I liked Britt/Nyla more than most people I think, but I have a pretty high tolerance for sloppiness in matches, and I'm a HUGE fan of Britt adding more technical aspects to her moveset.

Just caught up on Dynamite and why is everyone saying Danielson is confirmed? Did I miss a segment or something?

Semi-credible rumor going around that he's already signed.

I don’t know anything about Gage either, is he actually good in the ring, or does everyone here just hate David Arquette for some reason?

Gage is not like a workrate classic or anything but he has such loving energy that just absolutely radiates through a crowd.

Moxley put it best when he talked about Nick Gage on Dark Side of The Ring:


quote:

He’s not going to stop, and I’m not saying he should. He has the number one talent you need. It’s not biceps, it’s not abs, it’s the ability to connect. Vince McMahon would loving kill to have one person with that connection to the audience that Nick Gage has. I kind of think his story is just getting started.

Keep in mind, Gage is perfectly capable of working a more subdued style. I'd expect tables, maybe chairs, MAYBE a bit of the pizza cutter, but not much more than that.

I don't think AEW has ever done a submission match, right (well, unless you count I quit)? Maybe Minoru Suzuki for one of the labors?

It was incredibly subtle but when Andrade started to cut his promo "WHAT?" chants were starting and he instantly changed his cadence to throw them off and kill them.

I remember when Moxley first appeared on New Japan Strong, back in January I think, and there was this big "how did the Forbidden Door get opened??" question. And Mox went on one of Meltzer's podcasts and was like "I don't know about any door, I called Tony and said 'hey there's this New Japan Strong thing taping like a five hour drive from me and I want to go fight Kenta on it' and Tony said 'ok, cool'"

Having that kind of agility and not having to route things through a shitload of red tape is a huge plus

Some more interesting stuff with CM Punk:


quote:

In the hours that followed the CM Punk story, we learned more about companies that have reached out to him. Fightful Select was told that in January of 2020 Ring of Honor -- specifically Marty Scurll, who had been leading the charge at that point -- asked to send out feelers to CM Punk. Obviously those conversations didn't go very very far, but people in Ring of Honor that heard of the conversations say that they were told that story, opponents and general plans were more important than dollars offered.

I think you want to do Britt vs. Statlander at All Out, but Full Gear is a decent little reign for Britt if they want to have her drop it to Rosa there.

I wonder if the references to gold in the Andrade segment last night are a teaser for the long-rumoured trios titles? Maybe Andrade gets some back up and the titles are introduced for this feud.

That'd be a good way to codify the titles under "Lucha Rules" too.

Fuego is probably one of the best examples of someone getting over just because other people like him. Like, I'm sure not everyone in the crowd watches Sammy's vlog but enough do, and the ones who don't are instantly intrigued as to why he's so over.

You know, if they wanted to keep doing the Stadium Stampede as a semi-regular thing, it wouldn't be a bad idea to more solidly codify the rules. Maybe everyone starts paired off somewhere in the stadium and pinfalls only count in the ring?
