That Dynamite was loving incredible, I was a little worried when they followed the Moxley and Mercedes promos with the Willow attack angle but the whole match clicked into such a fun rhythm with Julia being a little poo poo and Willow showing up to beat the gently caress out of Brody and cannonball him. And then it was just hit after hit, not a bad segment in the bunch and Dynasty looks to be one of their best cards of all time.

I said in the GDT but I'm really happy that Swerve nailed the go home segment. He's awesome and charismatic but his big flaw is that his live promos tend to meander unless he can find something that lets him lock in and hit flow. This time he immediately hit flow and never let it go. He's ready. :hai:

The thing about Dynamite last night was how packed it really was. Man, the pacing was on point. I was worried at first with the Copeland match starting with the Willow injury angle but Willow coming to the ring and cannonballing Brody was absolutely the right call, hype as gently caress, and it was cool to see Julia get the win.

So much happened on the show. It really hit all the beats a go-home show should. I know technically Collision is the real last show before Dynasty, and that looks awesome too, but man, everything from Mercedes's little post-match bit to Danny Garcia keeping up with the Bucks and Okada to the Bucks interrupting the FTR video package to "the rarefied air of Jericho" to the wild ending...the entire show just had tons of great little impactful moments that flowed into the next. It just made me happy!

Ospreay/Claudio 2 needs to happen and they need half an hour or more.

It's funny you say that when a complaint last night was how the heels don't get enough big wins, mostly in the upper midcard. It's a tough balance!

That was me in reaction to Shane Taylor eating the pin. My reasoning behind that is STP has always felt like a joke to me because it's always a foregone conclusion they're there to job. Which is the position of too many heels right now.

I'll admit it's tough to book though when AEW fans are the type to turn a good heel face because they love their work.

I'm definitely on your side. Not mad about it because the beatdown was good but I love Shane so much and want him to have a big win. STP is awesome, he should have won!!! Orange can eat it!! It's okay!

Though they did pin Shibata so that's nice.

Roderick Strong should absolutely not go away. He's one of the best wrestlers on the roster. Doesn't mean as much when AEW has probably the most talented roster of all time, but nonetheless, Roddy is a fantastic wrestler and if anything I'd like to see more of him. Maybe he and Kylo can spinoff from the Kingdom and go on a dominant tag team run.

I just really like Roddy and people saying he should go away are wrong and bad :colbert:

You're right and you should say it. He's really locked into a character that works for me, giving him some much-needed spice to his fantastic ring work. Also the glasses are funny. Big fan of his "Ned Flanders As He Appears In The Simpsons Wrestling" gimmick.

I live in the US and have been buying AEW ppvs from Bleacher Report from the beginning. I can't keep up with the cost anymore with how many shows they do now. I was thinking of trying to VPN and ordering that way.

I know nothing about how to activate a VPN. Which ones are reliable. What additional devices I might need.

Would anyone be able to tell me in the most dumbed down way how to go about participating in that 3 ppv for $50 deal? I see it on Triller but it also might require AEW Plus?

The TV we watch on we have always used the BR app on Xbox. I can hook up a laptop to watch off of too. I don't have a roku or any other similar device, but don't mind getting one if that makes this easier. I dont believe my TV has any built in streaming apps. I've seen people mention casting from their phone and disabling the VPN once it starts? When I've seen people mention pick any address as billing/location in UK do I just go to Google maps and click somewhere and use that?

I use my internet providers router for wifi if that is relevant.

Thank you. I look forward to hooting and hollering at a price that keeps me watching.

I use ExpressVPN as my VPN. It has apps for mobile devices, Google TV, Fire Sticks, or can be used on a computer no problem. It's a program you download and click a button to activate when you want.

Basically I had a US Fite account already. I set my VPN to the UK, opened up the Fite website, and was able to subscribe to AEW Plus, and it let me pay in dollars and everything. I don't think you need AEW Plus for the PPV rates but it does get you the non-commercial weekly shows. I can turn on ExpressVPN on my phone and buy the PPV bundle through the Triller app or watch that way, though weekly I have a Chromecast with Google TV and I have the VPN and Triller apps both installed there so it's a simple case of turning on the VPN and going to Triller to watch.

So...get a VPN, set it to the UK, log into your existing Triller account, and the bundles and monthly sub options should just pop up, and you can pay using Google Pay or whatever stored payment method you have. Pretty easy.

I am torn

I would love to see Hook just beat the brakes off Jericho, suplex the poo poo out of him and then choke him out

But if Jericho manages to squeak out a win and be a braying jackass about the FTW title, carrying it around in a velvet bag and such, it could be extremely funny

The Jack Perry/Hook feud was really fun because of Jack's cowardice, so that with Jericho at his most sanctimonious could be great fun.

Tony's statement posted:

I don't think there should be discrimination against transgender wrestlers, or transgender people at all.

I absolutely stand by Nyla Rose. AEW stands by Nyla Rose, and all transgender people in wrestling.

I was really surprised by this after our show in December of 2023. It was not something I was expecting, and of course, I was disappointed by this commission's decision, and that warning.

Nyla is a great part of our history. She was the first transgender champion, ever. She's done a lot of work with the AEW Together community.

She is a great person, with a great heart. I personally have nominated Nyla to TBS as the best social media presence for a number of years.

The first Dynamite, the first shows... look at everything Nyla has accomplished. To just put that label on her, that's not right. She's so much more than that.

I hope everybody can look at Nyla. She's a great person, and she deserves these chances. The AEW locker room has people from all backgrounds, all beliefs.

If the AEW locker room can embrace Nyla, I'd hope the Oklahoma State Commission can as well.

Nyla will be a special guest host for the PPV (dot) com AEW Dynasty PPV event, and we're very excited that she accepted the invitation.

I think the world of Nyla Rose.

It's neat to have someone running a company who is, like, nice.

Some other interesting notes from the WON Twitter include that the ROH/AEW Trios belts unification match was supposed to be announced earlier but some kind of injury prevented them from making it official since they wanted to make sure everyone was good to go, Carlos Cabrera was a Mansury suggestion because they really wanted to improve the Spanish commentary and presentation with the new CMLL partnership, and he hinted that making the library of past shows available in the US mostly hinges on the media rights (which he's optimistic about). He also said that if CM Punk was telling the truth about having to cover his own medical expenses, that's typically something the company takes care of and he will reimburse Punk if it's the case.

Neat stuff.

I think you're able to access the PPV on Roku this way, because they're offering Dynasty through Triller in the US, so it'll just show up as a regular purchase. For weekly shows through AEW+ you'll either need a device that can use the VPN app like Fire TV, Chromecast, or Apple TV or a VPN-enabled router.

Edit: Yeah, I just checked. It's showing up as Purchased on my Roku so you should have no trouble watching it.

I feel so bad for Yuka, she clearly hurt her leg on the botch but it's amazing that she finished the match and that Emi immediately knew how to work the crowd up and do some simple spots to get the crowd wanting to see Yuka kill her. Abrupt ending due to the injury and yet the last sequence was very very good. I really hope Yuka isn't too badly hurt because even with everything surrounding that match she reminded everyone that she's so good. Next level good in a way many others on the roster wish they could be.
