[Evil Vito]

Here we fucking go!

[rez]

weeeeeeeee

[Emperor Smeat]

That was a pretty cool opening teaser. If they do stuff like that going forward that would help lessen the complaints about the lack of storytelling in their weekly show

[Evil Vito]

I have to say, I hoped that contract signings were a WWE trope that would've died a slow death in AEW.

[Evil Vito]

Mox is like a billion times cooler than Dean Ambrose.

[ClockShot]

Looked like some of the upper tier was tarped off.

[slik]

Let's go Sammy

[Evil Vito]

"He calls himself 'The Best Ever'"

Singles Record: 0-2

:lol:

[Triple A]

Pumped . . .

[slik]

Loved that bitch slap

[slik]

This match is pretty good, crowd is pumped

[ClockShot]

Turnbuckles got Rick & Morty, the ring posts, a few masks here and there.

This gotta be something big if they're going above and beyond with this.

[Emperor Smeat]

Sammy vs Page was pretty good overall.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Blonde Seth Rollins was just ragdolling Sammy for a lot of that. Pretty cool.

[Triple A]

Turnbuckles got Rick & Morty, the ring posts, a few masks here and there.

This gotta be something big if they're going above and beyond with this.

Prob just cross promotion because Cartoon Network is under the same corporate structure as TNT...

[rez]

COWBOY SHIT! COWBOY SHIT!

[Evil Vito]

"Cowboy shit" chant :lol:

[ClockShot]

Cowboy shit, eh?

We gonna have ourselves an actual hanging?

[Triple A]

They are never gonna fix the entrance theme volume it seems

[Emperor Smeat]

Turnbuckles got Rick & Morty, the ring posts, a few masks here and there.

This gotta be something big if they're going above and beyond with this.

Probably just advertising the new season of the show since it starts on November 10th.

TNT's parent company also owns Adult Swim.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Don’t know much about Sammy Guevara but big fan of his selling

[rez]

Adult Swim commercial followed up by a Jack Daniels one. lol

[ClockShot]

R&R Express doing...……..something right now.

[Emperor Smeat]

They are never gonna fix the entrance theme volume it seems

Probably not anytime soon considering their outspoken support for people with sensory issues.

[Evil Vito]

SHANNA A/S/L PLZ

[Evil Vito]

Hikaru Shida!

[Triple A]

Probably not anytime soon considering their outspoken support for people with sensory issues.

I doubt that has anything to do with it... since they have pyro and stuff which is way more startling... Also seems like a matter of adjusting the volume levels on the TV production side... Maybe Lock Jaw can shed some light on this!!

[rez]

Oh, JR. He was just talking up Shanna and now doesn't know anything about her

[slik]

These two ladies have significantly more charisma than many we've seen on AEW thus far.

[Evil Vito]

You can tell Shanna is Portuguese #datass

[RP]

Why does Jericho have this clown Sammy Guevara hanging around?

[rez]

A lot of prominent camera angles on dat ass

[ClockShot]

I agree, that was 3.

[Emperor Smeat]

Match started out slow but its been getting better the longer its going. Soo far its easily the best women's match quality-wise since Dynamite started.

[RP]

I would eat that ass.

[ClockShot]

Good ladies match.

Started slow, clunky at times, but picked up and got better as time went by.

[RP]

I like this asian too

[ClockShot]

I have no idea what just happened there.

[Evil Vito]

That was a really great match between Shanna and Shida.

[Emperor Smeat]

Santana and Ortiz probably still sour over the Rock'n'Roll Express busting out a Canadian Destroyer against them at Janela's Spring Break show months ago.

[RP]

They should bring back the Rock and Roll Express but turn them heel and rename them The Hills Have Eyes.

[ClockShot]

Thanks for coming, Rick and not Morty.

[Triple A]

Santana & Ortiz now being called "Proud & Powerful" I guess...

[Emperor Smeat]

:| at Tony telling a story about the time he saw Dusty Rhodes naked.

[Triple A]

Feel like the crowd can probably barely hear any of this... Volume seems all fucked up

[Triple A]

Feel like I have seen the short guy before...

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Morty announcing Best Friends and OC's entrance.

[rez]

loolkjlkj;lkjl.

Well, WCW had Chucky and RoboCop..

[Emperor Smeat]

OC getting the biggest pops of the night soo far is amazing.

[ClockShot]

:rofl:

That was a lot of fun.

[Evil Vito]

The Rainmaker camera effects for the Best Friends hugging will never not make me laugh.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the ref trying to raise OC's hands after the match

[rez]

perfect way to use OC, imo

[slik]

That was a really fun six-man tag


Love OC

[Evil Vito]

I was thoroughly sports entertained in that match.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Corporate cross promotion very corny and lame

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Otherwise that was fun

[KIRA]

Man hangman page deadeye getting a lot of milage tonight like they're making up for the fact that he didn't do it. Loving the show

[Evil Vito]

Ahahaha Jericho looks absolutely ridiculous and I'm all for it.

[ClockShot]

A contract signing not in the ring.

Different.

[Emperor Smeat]

AEW not doing the AEW title contract signing in the ring is pretty interesting.

[rez]

Jericho is in the Halloween spirit!

[Evil Vito]

At least there’s some continuity here - AEW legal counsel was also present in the Road To video where Cody and Shawn Spears signed the contract for their match.

[Emperor Smeat]

Tony sounds like he might be dealing with a cold or flu. Sounds a lot more raspy than usual.

Or maybe he just forgot to take a drink to freshen up his voice before going out.

[ClockShot]

Lawyer lady is hot.

[KIRA]

I love Jericho so much

[Triple A]

oh no @ what chants

[KIRA]

Shoulder pads on Y2J jacket are insane

[ClockShot]

Pops-a-dent ain't gonna fix that.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Hager kneeing Dustin in the nuts. Great shout out to how his last MMA fight went down.


oh no @ what chants
Worst thing Austin gave to the industry was that chant. Even he regrets ever saying it on tv.

[Triple A]

lol @ Jericho smoking a cigar

[KIRA]

lol @ Jericho smoking a cigar

That put a huge smile on my face

[rez]

that was fun

[ClockShot]

Sweet video, Kenny.

[Emperor Smeat]

:( Kenny's video game pre-intro mentioning him and Kota Ibushi no longer being close pals.

[Triple A]

What's the mask

[ClockShot]

Ken & Ryu in the house.

[KIRA]

What's the mask

Undertale

[rez]

Fignuts is Omega!

[Triple A]

Omega is the best... Everything he does is very intense... rules

[ClockShot]

Terminator: Dark Fate. In theatres Friday.

[Emperor Smeat]

Sunset flip countered into a triple powerbomb on the outside was pretty cool.

[Triple A]

Nick Jackson looks like OssMan

[Emperor Smeat]

Bucks & Omega vs. Hybrid 2 & Sabian was pretty good overall.

[Triple A]

Sweet match

[ClockShot]

Santana & Ortiz all over the place tonight.

[Emperor Smeat]

Considering how big of a dud the debut was, Peter Avalon has done a pretty good job salvaging the Librian gimmick into being a decent heel heat magnet.

[Triple A]

That was good...

[rez]

Well, that's one way of using The Librarians

[ClockShot]

They better pick up the pace. 20 minutes and we got the tag finals still looming.

[Triple A]

Considering how big of a dud the debut was, Peter Avalon has done a pretty good job salvaging the Librian gimmick into being a decent heel heat magnet.

Yeah I'm a fan of it... Very campy heel who attacks the town with cheap heel heat... I like it...

[Simple Fan]

They better pick up the pace. 20 minutes and we got the tag finals still looming.

Probably going to get ambushed and pushed back to Full Gear.

[Emperor Smeat]

Moxley's promo was pretty great.

Moxley vs Omega at Full Gear is going to be great. It was already set to be amazing but if recent AEW unsanctioned matches are any indications, its going to be crazy good in brutality.

[rez]

Nugenix commercials...sick of them. I bitch enough about repetitive commercials during WWE so gotta call it as a I see it.

[Evil Vito]

Trying to not get my hopes up on AEW and NJPW working together. I mean they already referenced the NJPW logo, the G1 trophy, and Kota in that Omega entrance.

Pleeeeeeeease.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

This match has a BIG FIGHT FEEL

[Supreme Olajuwon]

In a time when everyone is doing lucha things, Rey Fenix still stands out.

[Emperor Smeat]

Fenix instantly regretted doing a leg drop to the outside.

[ClockShot]

Ooof. That was rough.

[ClockShot]

Tick tock.

[rez]

Inner Circle gonna interfere ?

[ClockShot]

An inside cradle?

Of all things?

[Triple A]

Damn

[Emperor Smeat]

Bit surprised SCU won. Tag title finals was very good overall.

Tonight's Dynamite was very good and entertaining overall.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Eh

[Evil Vito]

While I was pulling for the Lucha Brothers, Scorpio Sky subbing in at the last second and winning the whole damn thing was a really cool storyline in this tourney.

[rez]

Surprised but not disappointed

[slik]

The right team won

[Jordan]

Awesome show. Lucha Bro's were my pick but SCU is really good. Scorpio and Kaz deserve this. I LOVE CODY AND JERICHO. Holy shit. Jericho is truly the best but so is CODY. Who will win!?!?

[Jordan]

Shanna has a GREAT ass. Shida's hot too, with that lil thong showing through. Best ladies match in the fed so far.

[Jordan]

No interest in Brandi and Kong.

[Jordan]

Mox was great. Kenny was great. I think he needs his wings clipped so to speak. This weird Japan dork gimmick is going to go over the heads of most people if they want him to be a baby face.

[Jordan]

Dusty would be so proud of Cody and how he's developed into such an amazing babyface.

[Droford]

Shanna has a GREAT ass. Shida's hot too, with that lil thong showing through. Best ladies match in the fed so far.

That match paled in comparison to what NXT did with their women.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Such a great show. Another easy, breezy two hours. Moxley is a fucking star.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

That match paled in comparison to what NXT did with their women.

Better matches mean shit compared to the energy generated by AEW -- to this point.

[Mr. JL]

Shanna has a GREAT ass.

I'm not the only one who noticed.

Jon Moxley is a Fucking STAR. Rocket ship him; especially in the underdog, fight authority role. I can 100% believe current WWE did not see it just because of their formulaic setup. 2 decades ago Vince would have been focused enough to recognize it and run with it.

SCU winning kind of surprised me; I was cheering for The Lucha Brothers, especially considering they already knocked off The Young Bucks at All Out. SCU has consistently had some of the best matches all throughout AEW's run in pre-shows, Dark or opening matches so kind of glad they have gotten the nod here.

Plus, this outcome also gives fans some more options to build towards... Lucha Bros, Young Bucks reigns, etc.

[Tom Guycott]

"He calls himself 'The Best Ever'"

Singles Record: 0-2

:lol:

Being fair, they have the same problem with Nyla Rose currently. You're supposedly pushing "The Native Beast" as an unstoppable monster - was almost the first ever AEW Women's Champ - and she's winless.

Tangential: I wonder about this win-loss thing. I mean, will it be cumulative, or seasonal? If they get their poop in a group and use All In as their Mania/Slammiversary type show, will the records reset like a sports season to move people up/down the card?

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Part of the issue they're running into with the win loss thing is they're still really early in their run, and they don't overuse or over expose their talents. Nyla could easily get some wins with a couple of squashes.

Overall, I love what I've seen. Everything is easy to watch. It makes sense. I do think the right guys are winning. And they're building up their big guns. I think Moxely is the obvs choice to eventually dethrone Jericho, and the way they're building him up is perfect. He's been electric every time he's been used, and the whole unsanctionable thing is great.

I get the record isn't be-all end-all and that it's "early", but still, as it stands, to correct that, Nyla *needs* those squashes to happen for this bookkeeping business to make sense... otherwise it kinda hurts when you have JR putting over how dominant she is while goose eggs show up on the TV screen. Guevarra being the young gun in the big inagural heel stable is way less intimidating when the guy is still winless. Shawn Spears being paired with Tully seems like a huge waste of potential when, once again, there are no wins. Sure, there is plenty of time to course correct, but as of right now, it comes off as a bit hokey and wrong. We'll see how it shakes out in a few months.

[Jordan]

I wish they didn't involve Tony Kahn in the Moxley program. He said he wouldn't be an on screen authority figure and he's already got one foot in the door on that one.

[Fignuts]

Better matches mean shit compared to the energy generated by AEW -- to this point.

[Jordan]

Shanna is 10x better than Britt Baker. I just want to learn all about Shanna now, she's from Portugal and has wrestled in all of the womens fed's and has a GREAT butt. She's not PERFECT like Alexa Bliss but she is a SUPER ATTAINABLE REAL WORLD HOT. And that makes me love her with all my heart.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I'm big and hard on Shida, but man Shanna looked good and worked a great match.

[Lock Jaw]

Just finished watching this show instead of Monday Night RAW.

Started watching yesterday actually, but got bored during the Adam Page vs Sammy Guevara match and turned it off. I am not a huge fan of either of these people as singles rasslers. Especially don't buy Adam Page as a big top tier singles guy.

The women's match was probably AEW's best. Seems to me like they picked the wrong Japanese lady to be champ.

Not sure what the deal with Brandi Rhodes is... didn't even realize that was her last week, thought it was some other braud. Now she's.... I dunno... into satanic voodooism or something? I think she'd be better off being used as Cody's valet..... unless she has actually become great in the ring after her departure from WWE.

Bunch of fun matches... the Ricky and Morty stuff was weird, but was done with a team that "just loves to have fun", and the match was pretty short so I didn't mind it.

Was hoping that they would stay away from "contract signing" segments, but I loved the lead-up with Cody in the limo. As far as the signing, it was good too I guess. Jericho was great as always, and I like that they are turning Hager's knee to the groin into a thing.

Kenny Omega..... I have no idea what that whole entrance was about, but every single week Omega gets farther and farther away from the "potential top star power" I saw in him. Honestly, the best thing for him would have been to get away from Young Bucks and all his buddies. I think he actually would have been presented a lot better in NXT/WWE. Here he just seems like..... I dunno.... they tell you he is a big deal, but he just.... doesn't seem like one.

Moxley's promo was great though, maybe the best I've ever seen him, I can't remember. I can see him only getting bigger and bigger. He's got that "ring can't contain his energy" kind of feeling right now, which I haven't seen in a long time.

Tag Team Title match was good, a bit surprised SCU won, especially the way they did... but I ain't even mad, bro.


Overall another fun show, but probably the lowest quality so far.
