[Evil Vito]

They have different wristband colors each taping for COVID/temperature testing. Red and pink this week.

[Emperor Smeat]

Considering today's coronavirus developments, maybe not a wise idea to have a lumberjack match.

[slik]

Hell yeah Lumberjack Match kicking things off

[rez]

Lumberjack match lite.

[slik]

Ricky Starks at ringside as a lumberjack

[Evil Vito]

Lol the height Mario Stunt got being thrown off the stage by Wardlow. Loved that.

[Emperor Smeat]

Lumberjack match was pretty decent.


Lol the height Mario Stunt got being thrown off the stage by Wardlow. Loved that.

Yeah Marko's been pretty great as AEW's human lawn dart whenever needed.

[slik]

That was a blast

[Emperor Smeat]

Britt probably asked Adam Cole to lend her some of that plexiglass WWE has been using at the PC for her new Britt mobile.

[slik]

LOL @ Britt Baker and her plexiglass shield

[Evil Vito]

Holy fucking Shida :love:

[slik]

Already trending at #1 in the U.S.

[Emperor Smeat]

Shida has won more matches with the Falcon Arrow in recent weeks than Seth Rollins has done in years in WWE.

[ClockShot]

Got home. Saw Shida hit the ring. Talk shit to Penny. Turned around and turned on the stove. Match over.

Like, 2nd week in a row this happened to me.

[slik]

RIP Kip's sunglasses

[slik]

Arn taking charge at this press conference

[ClockShot]

This is stupid.

[Emperor Smeat]

Why is only the front part of Hager's shirt tucked in?

Press conference segment was somewhat decent at best.

[ClockShot]

Now this stuff with Colt and Brodie has my attention somewhat.

[slik]

I liked that Sonny/Joey segment

[Emperor Smeat]

Someone in production must have recently bought new graphics software considering now Brodie gets the spooky graphics treatment for his entrance now.

[Emperor Smeat]

Sonny Kiss giving Penelope Ford a run for her money for most butt cheeks shown in an AEW match.

[Triple A]

Sonny Kiss has a great look...

[slik]

good camera shot

https://i.postimg.cc/dVfv1HVX/Screenshot-2020-06-24-at-7-33-37-PM.png

[Triple A]

Lumberjack match ruled

[Evil Vito]

The Sonny/Joey segment reminded me of Lucha Underground in the best possible way.

[Triple A]

I hope Janela and Sonny Kiss win...

[Triple A]

Worried about every1 tearing their ACLs

[slik]

Wow, Sonny Kiss/Joey Janela are a great tag team

[ClockShot]

EVERYBODY DIES!

[Triple A]

Colt Cabana's theme mad annoying...

[Emperor Smeat]

Nice of Lee to save Cabana from harm although ouch at Janels getting slammed into the railings.

Janela & Kiss vs. Cabana & Lee was pretty good.

[slik]

Lance Archer being very murderhawk-y

[ClockShot]

Heh heh.

Britt got herself a Popemobile.

[Emperor Smeat]

Still wonder if FTR are going to keep the car entrance once AEW is able to run in regular venues.

It works great for empty arena shows at Daily's Place since the venue is very spacious at ringside.

If Alberto Del Rio could pull it off, they should have no problem too.

[slik]

This should be a good tag match

Good ep so far, hr 1 zoomed by

[Emperor Smeat]

Yeah the show has been pretty good so far.

Feels AEW found the right balance for their empty arena shows in recent weeks. Not too heavy in wrestling but not too heavy in story stuff either and still end up with plenty of people getting some quality tv time.

[Evil Vito]

FTR look bigger than I remember them being in WWE. Unless this is just an example of how deceptively big most of the WWE roster is.

[slik]

really good match so far

AEW's tag division is tops

[Emperor Smeat]

SCU vs. FTR was very good.

FTR have been on a roll with very good matches since their debut.

[Evil Vito]

I adore AEW’s tag division

Now just refocus the women’s division after Fyter Fest.

[ClockShot]

Maaaaaaaaaaaaan. I had to take the dog outside and I missed this.

Check the reply On Demand tomorrow.

[Emperor Smeat]

:D Penta's back

:lol: at the surprise being revealed too early

[Triple A]

Dax Harwood looks like he "put on a few pounds"

[Evil Vito]

LUCHA BROTHERS

[ClockShot]

Hey, Pentagon made it back.

[xrodmuc316]

LOL@ FTR wanting real tag team focus.

Also, here is an angle where we are gonna have you distracted by your truck getting stolen, then throw you into a multi man match.

[Emperor Smeat]

Hey, Pentagon made it back.

Picked a pretty bad time to do so considering the circumstances recently.

Him being back probably means Jack Evans and Angelico are also coming back soon since all three were stuck in Mexico these past few weeks.

[Triple A]

LOL@ FTR wanting real tag team focus.

?

[ClockShot]

:lol:

That was funny.

[slik]

Good tag vignette between Best Friends and Omega/Hangman

[Triple A]

Don't like those gross "cupping" bruises all over Omega...

[slik]

New matches announced for Fyter Fest are good:

MJF/Wardlow vs Jungle Boy/Luchasaurus

FTR/Young Bucks vs Butcher & Blade/Lucha Bros

[xrodmuc316]

Don't like those gross "cupping" bruises all over Omega...

I hate those too. Not even sure that is proven to be helpful, but if they want to do that, do it before you are gonna be on camera.

If you are purposely going out on camera 2 minutes after with those marks just to show you have been "cupping", you are being a douchebag.

[Triple A]

Yeah pretty sure it is considered a "pseudoscience"

[xrodmuc316]

Cage with a much safer looking Steinerdriver than Big Poppa Pump.

[Emperor Smeat]

Cage got some really nice air with that powerbomb to Cruz.

[ClockShot]

Been wondering if Moxley gotta get back to NJPW soon and do some U.S. title work since they started back up. Or, given the circumstances, NJPW is going to give him some leeway and call him when they're ready for him.

[Emperor Smeat]

Was Taz ever a manager in TNA/Impact?

He's been pretty great as the mouthpiece for Cage so far.

Also there goes another week where someone not named Chuckie T got to use up AEW's swear word.

[slik]

Tazz is fantastic as a heel manager

[Triple A]

Yeah Taz is great as a heelish manager... Clashes with his kinda "nice guy" role on commentary on Dark though

[xrodmuc316]

Was Taz ever a manager in TNA/Impact?

He's been pretty great as the mouthpiece for Cage so far.

He was kind of an adviser for Samoa Joe for a bit, not too long though with Main Event Mafia not really needing an adviser.

[Emperor Smeat]

Been wondering if Moxley gotta get back to NJPW soon and do some U.S. title work since they started back up. Or, given the circumstances, NJPW is going to give him some leeway and call him when they're ready for him.

Probably not until around October going by recent reports of when NJPW thinks foreign talent will be available to them again.

They did show him on their return video for their first empty arena show so they still have some plans for him.

[Triple A]

[rez]

It's sound proof lool

[rez]

THAT WAS UNCALLED FOR

[ClockShot]

Britt got trashed again.

Next week, Britt's in a military tank.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Britt and Swole.


He was kind of an adviser for Samoa Joe for a bit, not too long though with Main Event Mafia not really needing an adviser.

Interesting. Wonder if he did any mouthpiece work for Aces & Eights since that's the last big memory of him I have in Impact.

He sounds really comfortable in the new role as if he's been doing it for years like Paul Heyman.

[Triple A]

Not feeling this match

[Emperor Smeat]

Hardy vs Santana was decent. Match was running on fumes near the end though.

[Emperor Smeat]

https://i.postimg.cc/pdVXSGL1/Night-1.png

https://i.postimg.cc/LXn49Jft/Night-2.png

Night 2 looks way better than Night 1.

SCU vs. Dark Order is the only weak point for Night 2 while Night 1 pretty much just has Jurassic Park vs. MJF & Wardlow and AEW Tag title match as the only really enticing stuff on the card.

[Triple A]

Just wish there was a crowd every time Orange Cassidy is on... such a shame...

[ClockShot]

Pretty much how I though this was gonna go.

Jericho doing all the talking. Cassidy sleeping standing up.

[slik]

Love OC

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: AEW got allowed to say two swear words this week.

Chuckie T probably breaking stuff backstage in rage over this revelation.

[ClockShot]

NOT THE SHADES!

[Emperor Smeat]

Not a good night for shade wearers.

First Kip's shades got destroyed and now OC's shades suffered the same fate.

[Evil Vito]

Those were $500 sunglasses, asshole

[ClockShot]

BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

[Evil Vito]

Holy shit, get OC’s ear stitched up before it falls off.

[rez]

lol one of the best endings to Dynamite.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ouch at OC's ears. 2nd week in a row he's busted his ear.

OC and Jericho segment was pretty good.

This week's episode was pretty enjoyable overall. Only real weak points were the TNT title press conference and Hardy vs. Santana match. Everything else was mostly good to very good.

[slik]

[Mr. Nerfect]

The blood will probably help OC. What won’t help OC is OC. And it won’t help Jericho working with him.

[slik]

Over an hour after it went off the air and #AEWDynamite is still the top trend in the U.S.

https://i.postimg.cc/cHRhJB3Y/download.gif

[Evil Vito]

This was a really good Dynamite. Loved this show.

[rez]

:rofl:

[Jordan]

Am watching the show on delay now via my Sling DVR. I will give my thoughts so as to be the final word on this epsiode.

Thus far, Wardlow and The Luchasor MUCH better than I'd have thought.

[Jordan]

Fun opener with Wardlow and Luchasaurus both looking pretty good. I don't care that Lucha can do a shooting star press off the entrance though, they didn't need that.

[Jordan]

I usually zone out when AEW women's wrestling starts.

This press conference felt phony until Cody started talking. He is "this business". Cody is like if Kerry Von Erich could talk as good as Dusty and didn't do drugs.

Hager has a face that always lets me know he know's that he's on camera. Especially during this scene. I don't buy Hager as a real talent in wrestling. I saw him live at MLW a few times and he was just ... boring. He has no character and no ability to connect to an audience. No joke he should join the Dark Order so that he has to wear a mask. A mask forces you to be more animated as a performer to tell a story because you cannot rely on your face. I'd like to see it done.

[Jordan]

LOL @ the Joey & Sonny Kiss promo. I didn't know what to think at first but by the end I really thought that was good. I would love to see them use the Johnny Cage style split/nut punch then KO punch from Janella as a finish.

[Jordan]

Starting off the tag match with Brodie Lee/Colt Cabana vs Janela & Kiss ... I wish that AEW would've given Brody a promo to deal with his loss at DON. If that happened I forgot it.

I LOVE IT when Dynamite shows the sun setting in the background at Daily's Place. Beautiful shot. I think Daily's is my favorite wrestling venue ever.

Joey looks like a little girl when he wears pigtails.

I actually missed who won that tag match. But I liked seeing Archer do some ass kicking.

[Jordan]

Well if SCU and FTR is now... then what could be the main event of this show?!

Glad to see the classic version of SCU (I guess) back together while Scorpio Sky is an announced singles competitor now.

FTR are two guys with a reputation that don't have contracts so it makes sense they just drive from North Carolina in their gear step out and step up brother!

[Jordan]

Wow FTR are so great. They really do make you go back to the days of Arn and Tully. SCU as well as totally able to go there.

Great f'n match.

That 8-Man tag will be insane.

[Jordan]

I fell asleep so the episod ended after the FTR/SCU tag match!
