[Sepholio]

….I'm sorry but Darby Allin and Jimmy Havoc going up for #1 contender for the world title is some galaxy brain dumbness. And I like Jimmy a lot. But ffs that is laughable shit.

[GD]

I couldn't agree more. Just doesn't come across as very intriguing.

[Sepholio]

Ok so Cody tweets an excuse for why wins and losses don't really matter like they said they would originally. Neat. Gotta love the arrogance of Cody though: apparently a loss to Cody is better than a win over someone else.

[Sepholio]

I mean jfc. After that shit show HIAC and one of the worst RAWs ever aired, AEW was basically handed a gift on a silver platter. Huge opening to take a shot at WWE while they are weak and maybe gain some serious inroads early on (and I mean against the main brand shows, not NXT)....and their answer is Darby Allin vs Jimmy Havoc......jfc

I'm almost convinced that the joke rumors about WWE actually being behind AEW are true.

[Evil Vito]

How is that an excuse? Quality of opponent SHOULD matter. Especially as they move along and everyone has a ton of matches under their belts.

If the day ever comes where they put someone on a Goldberg streak, you can let it build while he kills jobbers but it won't be until he beats bigger names that it takes the next step into "oh shit, this guy needs a title shot".

Love the college football comparison. People raged when UCF didn't get into the playoffs after two straight undefeated seasons. Well look what happened once UCF started playing teams worth a shit.

[Evil Vito]

Besides, even if Havoc/Allin isn't your cup of tea (and personally I don't care about Havoc but think Allin is someone who can be marketable for them and therefore I'm on board with giving him a prominent match).....rest of the card looks real solid tonight.

Bucks/Private Party in particular jumps out for me. That can be a really good one.

[Loose Cannon]

while i typically would side with Seph's responses here, But i'm not real down on that match being for the #1 Contender because I really don't know anyone in AEW other then like 6 people. So for fans like me, they have to start somewhere and make me care. I see two guys getting a #1 contender shot and I think well i guess they matter somewhat.

It's like when i first started watching WCW in the early 90's. I knew who Flair and Rude were from WWF. but had no clue who was considered good or who were jobbers until i began watching religiously.

So I'll give them a pass for now since this is their 2nd prime time show

[Loose Cannon]

I do find it odd that Hangman is teaming with Goldust though. Jericho and Sammy makes sense because they aligned last week. Hangman and Goldust has no interaction what so ever. so it's weird to see them just thrown together here

They addressed it near the end of this.

I do appreciate that they use BTE to tie up some loose (cannon) ends even if not everybody watches it.

[Loose Cannon]

oh cool, didn't even know they were using You Tube. :y:

[Sepholio]

Yeah, it's also where you can catch AEW Dark, which shows all the dark matches from Dynamite tapings. I really dig that idea tbh.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Love the idea. The Darby Allin v Cima match was stellar, and the 8 man tag was fun if not a little sloppy. It's a great way to get talent air time outside of the weekly show.

[Evil Vito]

Lol 40 minutes into the game and still only in the first inning

Yeah this is getting bumped

[Evil Vito]

Dynamite will air on BOTH TNT and TruTV tonight under the expectation that they will be bumped off of TNT at 8:30. So presumably if/when they cut out the announcers will remind everyone to switch over.

[Jordan]

I do wish it was Cody/Dustin vs Sami and Jericho, but I am wiling to give Hangman a chance.

[Bad News Gertner]

If quality of wins matter shouldn't PAC be the #1 since he beat Kenny Omega.

[Jordan]

If quality of wins matter shouldn't PAC be the #1 since he beat Kenny Omega.

That's the truth right there. But considering he cheated to beat Page so you could call that objective match making as well, if you wanted to think that way.

[erickman]

looks like it will start on tru tv

[Evil Vito]

If quality of wins matter shouldn't PAC be the #1 since he beat Kenny Omega.

It’s debatable since they’re going on a bit of a “Kenny is losing his mind” schtick.

It’s not a system without faults but at least they’re still trying to explain some of their decisions instead of “lol here’s Jinder Mahal in a #1 contenders match”

[Supreme Olajuwon]

When will the Lucha Bros be on my tv? This is outrageous.

[Jordan]

When will the Lucha Bros be on my tv? This is outrageous.

I've been thinking the same thing. But they were on AEW Dark last night.

Also it's kinda bullshit if they slap this game over on TNT at 8pm. St. Louis is up 13 to 1, it's the bottom of the 7th... eh. Whatever.

[Dark One]

I think people expecting some concrete calculus like an ELO or something to determine wins and the value of those wins is expecting something unrealistic in a scripted sport.

I'm fine with Darby vs Havoc for a title shot because it's not like it's a marquee show or anything. A world title match IS a big deal, but it's not like this is the main event of Wrestlemania or anything. And while there are arguably people with better records and strength of schedule (Pac, primarily), Cody's explanation is fine, especially since they don't have a long history of matches to go off of as of yet.

It's not like some WWE situations where a dude loses ten out of fifteen matches and then beats the champ with a roll-up in a non-title match and is suddenly in the title picture.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I’m absolutely fine with Darby Allin being the plucky youngster who doesn’t know when to quit going against the grizzled veteran Jericho who wants to beat some respect into the kid.

It’s one of wrestling’s best tropes.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

If Havoc wins though, were gonna have to have a talk.

[slik]

Looks like a big crowd from people on Twitter posting pics

[Dark One]

Can't wait for every match to end via ref stoppage

Looks like Cardinals vs Braves is in the bottom of the 8th. Looking positive that AEW isn't going to get bumped.

[Dark One]

Ryan Clark w a major scoop!


Ryan Clark OMG WTF thought he was dead

Like Kevin Nash

[slik]

Moxtober Begins!

[Jordan]

We are live on TNT, FUCK BASEBALL!

[Dark One]

JR definitely didn't look at the name of the arena prior to reading it just then.

[Dark One]

GIVE ME HIKARU SHIDA

[slik]

Let's go private party

[rez]

AWWW yis

[Evil Vito]

LET'S GOOOOOOOO!

[rez]

Theme music sound level is a little better but still could use some work

[Emperor Smeat]

Private Party getting the party bouncer treatment for their entrance is pretty cool.

[rez]

It could be because of the fact this product actually has an excited crowd

[Loose Cannon]

is this the same guy with JR and Tony this week?

[Loose Cannon]

nevermind it is, he seems a lot more comfortable now

[GD]

Too many cuts.

[Loose Cannon]

gonna be honest, I hate this spot fest shit, but it does get the crowd going for sure.

[Emperor Smeat]

Private Party easily going to be the cornerstone of AEW's tag division in the future.

[Evil Vito]

Private Party are so fun

[rez]

Fuckin cool. shout out to both the sharp shooter and scorpion deathlock

[GD]

Does anyone else feel like they're going a bit too fast?

[Dark One]

Too many cuts.

Yeah, they're a little jumpy, and it started the same way last week. I feel like it calmed down a bit as the show went on, though. We'll see about tonight. At least they're not doing shaky cam shit along with the cuts.

Yeah! Glad that we won't have them on Smackdown either.

[Loose Cannon]

Does anyone else feel like they're going a bit too fast?

for my taste yes. but maybe this is what people want now? but i would think it's hard to get the crowd to pay attention when things get slow when you start fast

[Evil Vito]

Always been a sucker for the "pull the tag partner off the apron" spot

[Loose Cannon]

sweet spot right there with Nick pulling the guy away from the tag

[Emperor Smeat]

Can put Nick Jackson in the growing pile of people who can do a spear better than Edge.

[GD]

JR name dropping "New Japan"...

[Dark One]

Yeah! Glad that we won't have them on Smackdown either.

I feel like it's worse when there's not anything happening because they're trying to get facial reactions from four people at a time. I've come to accept the camera cuts on impact as a cost of doing business so to speak--although I drastically prefer NJPW's camera work. At least it seems to be one cut per bump rather than like rapidly firing between four cuts in one move like we've seen elsewhere at times.

[Jordan]

Too fast? It's The Young Bucks and Private Party Jack! They go top speed!

[Jordan]

Damn I should be drinking beers.

[Emperor Smeat]

Really weird scream by someone in the crowd.

[Triple A]

Theme music sound level is a little better but still could use some work

Still can barely hear any of the themes, they really should turn it up

[Evil Vito]

Still selling the back during the hot tag. Good stuff.

[Triple A]

Really weird scream by someone in the crowd.

I think that might be Isaiah Cassidy... think he did that in their last match too

[Dark One]

Does anyone else feel like they're going a bit too fast?

for my taste yes. but maybe this is what people want now? but i would think it's hard to get the crowd to pay attention when things get slow when you start fast

From last week--and other shows--I think it's part of their "something for everyone" / "every match can be different" approach. Most people when they see Young Bucks--and Private Party if they're familiar with them--expect this from the teams. Hangman + Dustin vs Jericho and Sammy will likely be a different pace.

I don't expect the whole show to be PWG balls-out speed, but that's what people want from these four.

[Jordan]

Goddamn Bucks! I love'em.

[Dark One]

Still can barely hear any of the themes, they really should turn it up

I know that chick.

[Loose Cannon]

YO hurra into a diamond cutter. wtf! never seen that

[Dark One]

Cards vs Braves is over, so we should be locked in on TNT I think.

[rez]

This match is good

[Loose Cannon]

Oh come on, how does that not finish the match. fuck

[Evil Vito]

PRIVATE FUCKING PARTY!!!

[Triple A]

Hot crowd

[slik]

This is gr8

[Jordan]

NOO!!!!!!!!!!!

[Emperor Smeat]

:y: at Private Party winning.

Private Party vs Bucks was great. AEW has such an amazing tag division compared to WWE and even NXT to a degree.

[Triple A]

Interesting

[Dark One]

The Elite are doing a good job of keeping out of there own way for the inaugural stuff.

They're pushing Cody to the main event, but I think he's got the crowd backing and investment for it to make sense.

[Jordan]

Godddammnnn! What an opener! I am shocked! I see what they doin though! Bucks gotta have somewhere to go so sure, let someone else take the belts first! Private Party is awesome.

[Triple A]

:y: at Private Party winning.

What tag teams are even in the NXT tag division? Undisputed Era, Street Profits... can't even think of anyone else

[Evil Vito]

in that case...

Danny motherfuckin' Burch and Oney Lorcan!

The Forgotten Sons

Breezango?

[Evil Vito]

That opener got me really hyped. What a time to be alive.

[Dark One]

It's clear The Bucks like Private Party, and Private Party picking up the win here does more for them (and the division as a whole) than the Bucks winning and going to the end. An argument could be made for the Bucks and whomever on the other side of the bracket having a 30 minute balls-out war to really up the value of the tag titles, but I think establishing a potentially strong but relatively unknown team might be a better move.

[Emperor Smeat]

Cards vs Braves is over, so we should be locked in on TNT I think.

Nice of the Cards to end their destruction of the Braves with enough time left to spare for TNT.

Fozzy aren't great but I really dig "Judas"

Jericho looks 10x better without facial hair. Love the shades.

loving the heel stable

Forgotten Sons, Oney & Burch, and a few other random ones.

NXT's big problem is how very up and down their tag division can be at times and not solely because of call-ups.

[Triple A]

this is great

Split-screen promo during Havoc's entrance is pretty cool. Was great when WWE used to do before dropping it years ago outside of the rare occasion.

You mean for jobber promos only.

[Evil Vito]

The first 30 minutes of Dynamite and even the NWA show last night really show just how sterile and uninspired everything on main roster WWE is by comparison.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Got home late so it looks like I missed a great tag match where some newer guys were possibly made and most of Jericho's promo.

[Loose Cannon]

these two looks like the perfect tag team

Doesn't seem like anyone is interested in watching NXT.

Fuck the WWE Legends contract. Sting should come and manage Darby. That coffin drop finisher is fuckin legit.

I'm DVR'ing it and will watch tomorrow. Decided I'd rather do that than flip back and forth and miss anything.

[rez]

True True

[ClockShot]

Good evening, everybody.

Caught the tail end of the tag match and just buzzed through the thread and I'm caught up.

How we all doing?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

JR seems sharper tonight.

And Schiavone has been gold for both episodes so far.

[Jordan]

That was perfect lineup of the commentary with the action when Havoc was working the finger bend.

[Dark One]

Doesn't seem like anyone is interested in watching NXT.

I suspect part of it is that a lot of folks have been conditioned to watching NXT on demand when convenient. I think for most people it's never been a WATCH ASAP kind of thing. That's compounded by the fact that AEW is new and exciting and seems like anything can happen.

[GD]

Wouldn't be surprised if they get beat in the ratings again.

[#1-norm-fan]

It’s debatable since they’re going on a bit of a “Kenny is losing his mind” schtick.

It’s not a system without faults but at least they’re still trying to explain some of their decisions instead of “lol here’s Jinder Mahal in a #1 contenders match”

My favorite part of that whole situation was the week before they had a 5 way match to decide the #1 contender for the IC title. The next week, the 4 losers of that match, including Mahal, got to have a number one contenders match for the WORLD title.

[Emperor Smeat]

Fun fact, had Darby's time in EVOLVE end better than it did, he'd probably be in NXT by now.

Losing to a string of NXT guys in a row helped sour his feelings in EVOLVE and also wasn't fond of the idea of possibly having to change his style and/or character to fit what WWE would likely want.

[Loose Cannon]

Good evening, everybody.

I guess we also probably shouldn't underestimate the damage the past five or six days of WWE stuff did to even NXT's goodwill.

That said, this is a forum like 20 people use, so it's not a huge sample size

Also sampling the live threads over at /r/SC

[slik]

Judging by twitter way more are watching AEW again

[Dark One]

I’m absolutely fine with Darby Allin being the plucky youngster who doesn’t know when to quit going against the grizzled veteran Jericho who wants to beat some respect into the kid.

It’s one of wrestling’s best tropes.

you know that's right

[Jordan]

Okay Darby and Jericho should be an awesome match for Philly. You know that shit is gonna be wild.

[BigCrippyZ]

Here’s the thing. If your lesser show doesn’t matter because your major shows shit on your lesser shows and what the lesser shows build up, your product is going to be shit. It’s a management problem ultimately. AEW doesn’t have those problems. At least not yet.

[Jordan]

I bet we get knee in the spine lion tamer too!

[slik]

Private Party and Jericho both trending worldwide on Twitter

[Emperor Smeat]

Allin vs Havoc was pretty good overall.

Hangman Page and Allin are two guys that if AEW takes their time to build up properly could become huge stars for the company. Page's star rise suffered a lot from only having a few PPVs spaced too far apart to build him up.

[Evil Vito]

Darby gonna be bumping like mad for Jericho next week

[screech]

Darby vs Jericho should be a lot of fun

[Jordan]

Gonna switch to NXT for a few minutes. Not interested in this match.

[Evil Vito]

Thank goodness Britt Baker is in the ring this week instead of at the announce table.

[Triple A]

Big Darby Allin fan over here,,,

[Jordan]

Changed my mind! Better to enjoy one show at a time.

[Triple A]

Bea Priestley hot . . .

[Dark One]

Big Darby Allin fan over here,,,

Do you like Darby Allin more than Todd Chrisley?

[Triple A]

That`s a complicated question

[Dark One]

Please post your thesis here.

[Evil Vito]

Bea Priestley hot . . .

feel like the sex between her and Will Ospreay is pretty intense

strong style sex

[Dark One]

Where do you think he learned to do that awkward scream-selling he did up until the beginning of the year?

[Jordan]

Do you guys think Kenny is making love with Riho?

[Emperor Smeat]

TNT keeping the split-screen stuff for commercials during matches has been great.

Thought USA was going to keep doing the same for RAW since its stayed on their network but seems they ditched it if Monday's episode was any indication.

[GD]

Feel like Io will "look like" Sakura in 15 years.

[Triple A]

Feel like this match really shouldn't go much longer...

[Dark One]

To be honest, from the results, that may have been a mercy.

[Emperor Smeat]

Women's tag match was good overall.

[GD]

I don't have the strength to "check out" NXT. Need to sleep.

[Evil Vito]

Do you guys think Kenny is making love with Riho?

I have my suspicions.

14 year age gap between them...damn

Think she stole him away from Kota

[Dark One]

Dr. Britt Baker DMD is going to be pulling people's teeth out with her bare hands in a few months for submissions.

[Jordan]

That was probably my favorite womens match AEW has done yet.

[GD]

I have my suspicions.

14 year age gap between them...damn

That damn jezebel!

[Triple A]

I don't have the strength to "check out" NXT. Need to sleep.

Feeling "resentful" towards NXT due to WWE using it to try to sabotage AEW...

[rez]

lol JR with the , "real mandible claw" comment. A lot of WWE burns tonight. lol

[Dark One]

SPOOKY PERVERTS?!

[Emperor Smeat]

For a brief moment thought the Dark Order were going to attack the Best Friends when the lights went out.

[Dark One]

Oh, Shawn Spears.

Marginally less spooky pervert

[rez]

I'm still loving the interviews in the arena area instead of backstage.

[ClockShot]

Has Tully Blanchard been with Spears since he arrived?

[Evil Vito]

Already had one NXT match spoiled due to Twitter. Not even following the guy...but it now shows you Tweets from somebody you aren’t even following as long as a bunch of people you DO follow are following that person. Damn.

[Dark One]

Has Tully Blanchard been with Spears since he arrived?

Since he brained Cody, yes.

[Emperor Smeat]

If LA Park/La Parka ever signs with AEW, already has a feud set with Spears over who is the real chairman in wrestling.

[Jordan]

It could happen.

I assume each match ended via ref stoppage.

[xrodmuc316]

Feeling "resentful" towards NXT due to WWE using it to try to sabotage AEW...

Heard a few rumblings that Vince didn't even give the NXT guys raises despite getting $50 million a year from USA Network.

It makes me even more resentful towards WWE, but sympathetic to NXT.

It I was fantasy booking the ratings, I would want NXT to beat Raw and Smackdown, so Vince McMahons head would explode.

[Evil Vito]

Wooooo Mox brought his NJPW attire!

[Dark One]

Justin Roberts' "JJJJYYYYEEAAAAAHNNNNNN" lives on with Mox.

[Jordan]

Mox is A STAR

[Dark One]

I assume the excuse will be "it takes a long time to redo that many contracts" which, I mean, sure, but if you're rolling in money you can probably expedite that shit a bit.

[xrodmuc316]

I'm a big fan of Shawn Spears, but that Mohawk is so goofy looking.

[Dark One]

Looked better with facial hair. Looks weird without.

[ClockShot]

Tully almost tripped on those steps.

[rez]

lol @ Tully

[GD]

So as far as I can recall, AEW doesn't recognize Moxley as the United States Champion, yeah?

[Dark One]

Do you like Darby Allin more than Todd Chrisley?

That`s a complicated question

Please post your thesis here.

I'm waiting.

[rez]

I would have saved Mox's first match for PPV

[xrodmuc316]

LOL Pac going heel on the "goon" announcers. So good

[ClockShot]

So as far as I can recall, AEW doesn't recognize Moxley as the United States Champion, yeah?

New Japan?

Eh, I'm gonna assume no unless the get into a partnership.

[GD]

I'm waiting.

Trips would probably considering donating his children's kidneys for a night with Todd.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wooooo Mox brought his NJPW attire!

He needs to find a way to smuggle his adopted son Shooter Umino from the UK to AEW while NJPW is not looking.

[Jordan]

So as far as I can recall, AEW doesn't recognize Moxley as the United States Champion, yeah?

It hasn't been mentioned.

[rez]

Trips, where can I buy Chrisley Knows Best DVDs?

[Dark One]

Trips, where can I buy Chrisley Knows Best DVDs?

His Honda Civic's trunk.

[Jordan]

The jumping knee in the corner was fucking dope

[GD]

Trips, where can I buy Chrisley Knows Best DVDs?

Genuinely surprised that it exists.

[Emperor Smeat]

Moxley vs. Spears was pretty good overall.

[ClockShot]

Paradigm Shift or Death Rider.

What's the better name for Moxley's finisher?

[Dark One]

Paradigm Shift or Death Rider.

What's the better name for Moxley's finisher?

Death Rider no doubt

[Dark One]

lol at a barbed wire wrapped broom

[Dark One]

Kenny Omega bringing a barbed wire broom to a barbed wire bat fight.

HE TRULY HAS GONE CRAZY

[Emperor Smeat]

Would have laughed if PAC randomly had a barb wired chair just to complete the visual of everyone having barb wired weapons in that standoff.

[ClockShot]

For a minute I thought Kenny went and found Moppy.

[GD]

Omega Moxley so hot right now

[Jordan]

Hahaha that was great! Pac spoiling the barbed wire bat and broom duel! I wonder where this will go.

[GD]

Jameela Jamil is hot

[Vastardikai]

I have my suspicions.

14 year age gap between them...damn

Think she stole him away from Kota

I hope not. Because that would explain Chasyn Rance popping up at that one show he booked.

[GD]

So glad to see Frank Thomas on both AEW and WWE programming.

[Dark One]

Damn only a half hour left? This show has breezed by. No long drag like last week had through the latter half of the first hour.

[Evil Vito]

Already the main event. Man this show flies by. Time flies when you're having fun.

[Emperor Smeat]

Having the announcer say a wrestler "calls himself ____" and referencing it in their entrance name plate works way better than how WWE does it with Cole and his boring commentary style.

[Evil Vito]

Good call, Sammy. The leather jacket looks a lot better than the panda head thingy.

[GD]

Wish they did a better job of mixing entrance themes...

[Dark One]

IT"S THE NATURAL TIME

[Jordan]

This is a very interesting match. I bet Sami is nervous as fuck right now.

Jericho definitely needs to keep Hager with him at all times. Perfect role for him.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Man I can’t tell you how much I love AEW for the sole fact that the announcers are focused on calling the match.

[GD]

Not enough beta cucks.

[Jordan]

Hangman is coming off really good in this match.

[Emperor Smeat]

The creator of Samurai Jack has a new show on tv?

That commercial looked pretty interesting and might end up watching it later tonight.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wish they did a better job of mixing entrance themes...

Probably has to do with the audio sensory stuff they are doing to make sure all of their fans can enjoy the show.

[Dark One]

SHUT UP BYRON

[slik]

would be funny if jim ross got drunk and whipped his penis out and it was pierced and he yelled boomer sooner

[Dark One]

SHUT UP BYRON

Sorry. Thought you might want a little WWE commentary experience.

[Dark One]

would be funny if jim ross got drunk and whipped his penis out and it was pierced and he yelled boomer sooner

You're on more bath salts than Santana and Ortiz.

[Evil Vito]

I love how AEW has brought TPWW posters back from the dead just because we all miss being able to live discuss a program we actually enjoy

[rez]

Love all the references tonight

[GD]

That's pretty neat.

That was one helluva lariat!
