Overall an okay episode of Dynamite which means pretty good in the history of pro wrestling TV. The first hour only having one match was weird. I'm glad they finally got the footage out there if only so that it can end the discourse of what really happened (lol, as if the discourse will ever end) instead of people endlessly speculating about who threw what punch first or whatever. It's over, it's done. I'm glad they used it as a device to move multiple parts of different stories forward (bringing back Jack Perry eventually, the FTR/Bucks match) and it wasn't just a "Here's what really happened, enjoy" kind of thing. FTR's promo was good, I thought. It put a nice button on things and felt like the best way to say "Okay, you loving saw the tape – now let's all collectively move on so we can be the future of this company and pro wrestling as a whole". I also thought it was smart to not mention Punk by name at all, whether by his real name or wrestling name. I kind of feel bad for Tony Schiavone. He looked completely over the whole thing, and his recent comments about the whole Punk interview tell me the same. The guy had to live through and participate in some of the scummiest, pettiest bullshit in WCW and probably just wants to come to work and enjoy wrestling again without any of the petty bullshit sneaking back in. He just looked so bummed out in the shots of the desk before and after the segment. Can't say there was a great match all night, but I didn't dislike any of them. Probably liked the STP trios match the most if only for STP getting a win, especially because Moriarty pinned loving Shibata. The rest were all good but never really kicked into a gear I could super get into. Lots of informative video packages building up Dynasty, which was good – especially if they thought they would be getting extra viewers off of the airing of the tape. This feels like one of the best built PPVs in a while, honestly, just in terms of how many different ways it's being built up. Not just in-ring promos or matches, but that plus video packages to really concisely explain what's going on in all of the feuds. It's a nice touch.

closet statist posted:Punk looks like poo poo! unfortunately the man is a master of spin. FTR promo kind of sold the whole airing of the video for me. Was a good “we all saw it, it’s loving done, let’s move on, we’ll be the future of this company if the Bucks don’t want to be” stamp on things. The video never has to be referenced again and the feud can just be about two teams wanting to be the best and gently caress each other up.

He already feels like the biggest babyface in the company despite his Don Callis association. When the United Empire are back as a full group and they turn face, the feud with The Elite is going to be nuts.

Dango Bango posted:Bryan brought up a good point on WOR - why isn't Eddie showing any frustration about losing 2 of his 3 titles in the last two weeks?? He got angry after losing to Okada and told Briscoe he was going to bring out the old Eddie to kill his rear end. He lost, but he loves and respects Mark so it balances out. He’ll probably go off a cliff when he loses the last one. Edit: wow beaten several times including almost word for word by Pylons

Like, it would zoom on her face, she'd say a line, it would zoom tighter, she'd say a line, etc, until it just zoomed all the way back out to show they were doing the promo in a hotel lobby with mood lighting. They’ve been doing this a few weeks now. I don’t mind it so much for standing around promos bouncing from person to person.

I don’t think it’s unfair to assume he could have been legit bummed out by the bullshit of it all. He had to deal with the worst of the worst in WCW, and AEW so far hadn’t let that stuff run into the product so directly. I assume there were a ton of trolls on twitter just trying to be dicks about into, though. I’m glad he was just acting bummed out because, as others have said, Tony rules and I hope he gets to be happy doing this for as long as he wants. Hearing him call MLW years back and it feeling like he was legitimately falling in love with calling wrestling again was great, and it’s even better having him get another big run in AEW.

That sounds nice. We were supposed to drive from PA to Chicago in 2015 for a Rainer Maria show but there ended up being a massive snow storm and we couldn’t go. Luckily we got to see them in Philly later that year and again in 2016.

Cause that's why I'd do Fletcher and Davis joining Will I’ve had a feeling that at some point the Callis family turns on Ospreay and beats him down, though I don’t know what would spur it on. Then Fletcher is unsure for a moment before trying to stop them and also gets beat down. Then Davis returns and clears house.

Pat Mustard posted:Just watching collision/botb and Tony mentioned that Roddy was a 20+ year veteran, maybe it's just me but that doesn't sound impressive as much as it makes it sound like Roddy is old as gently caress. I mean, talking about Dustin Rhodes or Sting or something saying how many years they've been going adds to them having such a long storied career but someone like Roddy is still in his prime like. And he’s only 40 (according to Wikipedia, they have burned me on wrestler ages before)! Lots of wrestlers don’t hit their prime until that age and dude has been everywhere in the past 20 years. I remember seeing him on our local Florida indie’s TV show with Sedrick Strong when I was in high school. He kicked rear end even back then.

I’m so glad they got to the Jericho turn quickly because this Hook thing didn’t need to drag on for another 3 months before in happened and Jericho is at his best as a delusional maniac. I’d been wondering for a while if they were doing the Lionheart thing for so long with the different music to decondition the fans from singing to his theme song. Would seem silly to go back to the singalong song if he’s going full heel again at this point.
