KungFu Grip posted:Dark on Dynamite and Elevation on Rampage or vice versa is what i feel like aew might do, hopefully they dont just extending the dark and elevation tapings too much Correct me if I'm wrong, but Tony Kahn talked about this in an interview. Rampage tapings will take place in Dark's current spot of before Dynamite, pushing Dark tapings to an undetermined time and place. Thinking about it, that probably means something like Impact where they record a months worth of matches over one or two days.

GrimGypsy posted:it's kind of incredible that AEW casually but explicitly said they have CM Punk and he's showing up in a month and that's not even the main thing everyone is talking about Punk discourse was pumped dry last week. Until he actually shows up and starts doing stuff there's not much left to say.

a cyborg mug posted:Just watched the show. Putting Gage in the fuckin main event was a Tony Khan idea, right So he sez Q: How did this Chris Jericho-Nick Gage no-rules match come together? A: I was working on it with Max (MJF) before Chris, the Five Labours of Jericho and I thought Nick Gage would be an excellent Labour of Jericho and a great opponent for Chris, very different from the first opponent (Shawn Spears).

Lead Pipe Cinch posted:For what it’s worth, Cash cut his arm pretty seriously so they had to skip straight to the finish, which I assume wasn’t planned to be Ortiz is pinned by a brain buster while Santana watches calmly from the floor. In the game day thread, we were talking about a compound fracture that had broken through the skin. Doesn't seem entirely impossible, given how Cash rushes around out there.

blunt posted:Would very much like to see Team Angle. That would rule. He's pretty much a mirror of Taz, being a compelling, funny, tough guy with a cache of respect but can never ever take a bump again. Though I am speaking from not having seen anything from him for two decades or so. jesus WEP posted:”pfft, he just comes across as *describes something insanely cool*” I don't think it was dismissive, but using New Jack as a byword for an actual genuine criminal who just assaults people while near a wrestling ring. Which I don't think is fair to Nick Gage.

Such is my faith in AEW that I trust this match will be at least OK, even though my only exposure to Juventud is Bryan and Vinny talking through old WCW shows and saying "well this match wasn't very good either".

Drakkel posted:Similar to how after Eddie Kingston's first appearance on Dynamite, WWE called him up and wanted to give him a job as a trainer. I believe the story is that they'd always wanted to have him as a trainer, but absolutely no chance as an on-screen talent. After his Dynamite appearance, he got offered a job as a wrestler.

StarkRavingMad posted:Yeah, agree completely. He had a couple matches that totally blew me away and then a few matches where he looked kind of sloppy. I think he has the potential to be a huge star in the future, but getting some experience in a higher-tier role elsewhere seems like a plus for him all around. I think the sloppier matches were after coming back from a longish hiatus after catching covid. Those aside I thought he was pretty consistent. I agree with the general consensus that it's not a crushing blow for him nor AEW, but it's bad news for me as I enjoyed his wrestling and there's no way I'm figuring out whatever a MLW is.

There's a few Elevation matches announced, which I don't think have been posted. Rosario Grillo & Hunter Knott v. Aaron Solo & Nick Comorato (he is billed as solo on the graphic, I thought that was a joke) Ashley D'Amboise v. Stat (with OC, CT, and WY) Dani Jordyn v. Yuka Sakazaki Lee Johnson v. Marcus Kross (the guy with Goku hair) Red Velvet v. Angelica Risk And main event Bear Bronson v. Darby Allin

That’s kinda what I associate Punk with, or at least that’s the impression I got from having Punk-Joe recommended ages ago and being bored at 2 guys just whaling on each other for 30 minutes Was that some guy AEW wrestler Jack Evans, or has this happened to Lance more than once?
