Janella gotta quarantine

Kenny now facing Sonny Kiss

Shame since the last match Omega and Janela had together was great.

I like GCW a lot but their handling of the coronavirus these past couple weeks leaves a lot to be desired. Between that and the big dispute over money with Ethan Page, they've been taking some notable hits to their image recently.

Bit surprised Wardlow vs. Jungle Boy is opening the show considering some of the more juicer matches for tonight's show.

Let's go.

What's the card tonight?

Jungle Boy came way too close to his neck nailing the ropes from that airplane spin by Wardlow.

Match itself was pretty good.

rez
10-21-2020, 08:11 PM
Meh... steak dinner, baker, and 4 way tag team are all i'm for.

I believe this is the 3rd Dynamite without Thunder Rosa...fucking miss her. Tony, throw ALL the money at her when her contract is up. ALL of it.

Emperor Smeat

Kingston is amazing on the mic. Maybe the best person AEW hired this year just in terms of mic skills quality.

Even that Expos jersey he repped last week was great.

Something about the way that narrator for the "Go-Big Show" commercial says the show's name sounds a bit weird.

Women's match was somewhat decent.

AEW really needs to up their efforts for their women's division since just a single and/or quick match isn't enough to help turn it around.

4-way tag match was very good although that finish was close to being botched because Kassidy rolled a bit too much at the end.

Guess AEW's time keeper is not a fan of the Young Bucks.

This week's show was very entertaining overall and in the upper tier of Dynamite shows this year. Only real weak part was the Omega vs. Janela match getting ditched at the last minute due to coronavirus stuff and Jericho ordering a blue steak for dinner.

Probably the same with all the other random women from tonight's show in regards to them being Jags cheerleaders since AEW has used them before as extras for matches and shows.

Apparently tonight's NXT show had a bait-and-switch done for one of the title matches and made the #1 contender's match from the week prior moot in the end.

Even had their own mystery masked guy show up and laughed at reading it happening around the same time as the masked time keeper bit on AEW's show. Got a chuckle out of that even though it very likely wasn't intentional at all.

I really enjoyed this week's sode, and Full Gear is going to be an excellent card. In addition to the announced and rumored matches I'm thinking we get a 4-way for the TNT when Brody causes a cluster fuck next week. Cody vs OC vs Darby vs Brody. Though they did hint at something with Cage and Starks.

Was impressed with MJF's voice.

I don't necessarily hate the idea of this but I stopped watching because it seemed meandering tbh. Like they're whole thing was "OOOOH WE'RE DOING A SONG" but they didn't do much to make it interesting.

Two narcissistic dickhead heels, who believe they are elite entertainers, staging their own (heavily rehearsed) surprise Broadway musical number doesnt really seem that bizarre or illogical tbh. Guess Max should have picked a fight with a ninja turtle instead huh.

It was Pat McAfee, took out UE so they couldn't be in the match. It was not some random person, just continuing the feud.

Yeah honestly it was a fine concept but the execution was very safe. They shied away from overproduction when they should have gone AEW All Out.

The dance number was whatever. It was goofy and I chuckled but it didn't do anything to make me more interested in whatever MJF and Jericho have going on.

Kingston's promo from last week was ace. Cleaner Omega was great. Obvs him and hangman in the finals. And I think Omega goes over.

FTR v The Bucks should be good and I'm hoping it's FTR that wins.

Cody isn't interesting right now. I hope he loses the belt again soon and shifts character direction.

Yeah that was revealed afterwards as the reason for the attacks. Its still a bait-and-switch and NXT hot shotting the titles to go in a new storyline direction for it.

I just found the whole thing a bit funny because both shows were doing the masked guy bit at around the same time.

I mean they sort of had to go in another direction due to Holland’s injury. And let’s be fair, the NXT reveal was better than the AEW one.

Emperor Smeat
10-22-2020, 06:01 PM
Yeah Holland's injury did throw a big wrench into their plans but the problem was more of the way they did the whole thing in the end.

Oney & Birch being associated with Pat would have made more sense had they been cheated out of a tag title shot last week or had feuded with UE enough to develop real bad blood or beef.

That also meant the past few weeks of NXT teasing a split of UE got quickly tossed to the side so that UE could resume their feud with McAfee.

Then you have Breezango as the biggest loser of them all since they got the legs cut off of their tag title reign relatively early into it because NXT decided to quickly rush in a new direction for the belts.

Another tournament match involving Omega got changed. This time it involves Penta replacing Fenix due to the real injuries Fenix suffered on Wednesday's show.

Storyline reason is Eddie Kingston had Fenix forfeit his spot in favor of his brother since it wasn't in the family's best interest for him to compete while hurt and risk their chances at another potential AEW title shot.
