The highest rated show on television is ready for another episode of the highest quality television program

Stupid Basketball. It's not even top teams playing.

[Savio]

Wooo!

[Mr. Nerfect]

Feels like a repeat.

[slik]

Hope PAC defeats that no good punk The Butcher

[Evil Vito]

Feels like a repeat.

Could say the same about most of your posts.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Oh dang

[Emperor Smeat]

That was such a BS call by the ref very late in the Cs vs. Bucks game.

:lol: at Giannis missed the game tying FT. If that was done on purpose, then that's already a strong contender for worst play call of the season.

[Evil Vito]

Just cheered for Giannis failing to send the game to OT. Fuck outta here NBA, I’m ready for Dynamite.

[erickman]

glad he missed it

[rez]

HERE

WE

GO

[Evil Vito]

Woooo Top Flight

[Jordan]

Gotta be honest... I could care less about The Rock and Roll Express, they always looked like old men who were sporting white trash looks to me.

[slik]

Just tuning in,let's go MJF

[Jordan]

Top Flight are improving every single match and quite noticably.

[Jordan]

I can honestly say we haven't seen the best of MJF yet in AEW. The first time I saw him was at Lost in New York against Nate Webb and it was fucking incredible heel comedy high spots that I've never seen done better.

[Emperor Smeat]

Just realized that Dante Martin from Top Flight sort of resembles Morty from the Rick & Morty series.

Moreso because of both having the same exact hair style.

[Jordan]

There is no Marty in Top Flight they are both Shawns.

[Emperor Smeat]

Jericho & MJF vs. Top Flight was very good.

Hager looks a bit ridiculous in those loafers.

[Jordan]

How is it possible Hager was better in WWE?

[Emperor Smeat]

Hager really not a fan of someone else in the Inner Circle being as tall as him.

Wardlow didn't deserve any of that besmirching from him.

[Evil Vito]

Top Flight are so good and Jericho/MJF were great foils for them.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at that commercial for AEW's Christmas Story stuff.

[rez]

Tony's hair lol

[Jordan]

Once again... STIIIIIIIIIIING

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Wardlow Hager interests me for the sole reason that I’d like to see what Wardlow has to offer in his own program. We know Hager is only good as the dumb muscle. We’ll see if Wardlow has skills beyond that.

[slik]

sting has cena nuff

Hi guys!

Here comes Taz baybay

[Emperor Smeat]

I think Bryan Alvarez is drunk on twitter

Probably means the Observer's Xmas holiday shows are getting taped tonight.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

That shot of Darby leaving his post looked ripped right out of a super hero movie.

[slik]

Tazz should hit a Canadian Destroyer on Sting r/n

[Jordan]

HOW THE HELL DID DARBY GET IN DA RING

[Evil Vito]

Hell yeah I like everyone in that segment.

[rez]

lol @ Sting's Dusty impersonation

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Cage saying he doesn't wanna wait is a nice little touch. Shows he's not a chicken shit.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

lol @ Sting's Dusty impersonation

It was surprisingly v good lol

[Emperor Smeat]

:'( That was such a touching moment by MJF.

He's soo going to get his ass kicked by Santana & Ortiz when they find out he was lying.

Edit: Nevermind, MJF was actually telling the truth and not deceiving Santana.

[Jordan]

I wonder if AEW will pull the trigger on their War Games match with Sting/Darby/Cody/??? vs Cage/Stark/Hook/Hobbs

[Damian Rey 2.0]

MJF slowly earning the trust of LAX (eyeball emoji)

[Evil Vito]

I love Colt still not realizing he’s in a cult and turning the Dark Order salute into a dainty wave

[slik]

MJF being human

[Jordan]

:'( That was such a touching moment by MJF.

He's soo going to get his ass kicked by Santana & Ortiz when they find out he was lying.

But he wasn't lying. I think they just planted the seeds for MJF's split off from Jericho/Hager/Sammy with P&P on his side. I like it!!!

[slik]

I think that's pudding

I could see that being possible although all depends if they hold that match within the next few months and it doesn't get delayed again due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Also depends on when full crowds will be allowed back again for shows since that's the main reason why AEW has held off doing that match type.

[Jordan]

I'm really over Jurassic Express. I'd lump them with several others that I'd like to see cut from AEW like Sonny Kiss, Cutler, Janella and replaced with guys like Ethan Page, Lio Rush, and Mance Warner.

I feel like at this point we are looking at 2022 for a return to touring.

[Jordan]

Obviously I wouldn't cut Jungle Boy btw

[slik]

Tully Blanchard should hit a Canadian Destroyer on Jim Ross r/n

[Jordan]

FTR really don't need Tully talking for them, they cut a much better promo at this point.

[Evil Vito]

Jungle Boy bout to get eliminated from Survivor in 2 weeks

[slik]

Need Jungle Boy to align w/ Darby and Sting as Wolfpac Boy

[Evil Vito]

Omega and Callis are so fucking good.

[Emperor Smeat]

Low blow by Callis to say that Fenix isn't event worth a spot on Impact Wrestling's roster.

[Emperor Smeat]

Guess The Butcher is training to be a martial artist based on that new ring attire.

[slik]

have seen so many tweets from people who started watching Dynamite after the NBA game and like 90% of them are "Chris Jericho is a fat ass now"

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Eddie Kingston was such an underrated signing. He's gonna be a heat magnet as a manager or an awesome heel announcer.

Him and Tony arguing is actually funny and entertaining.

[rez]

All I want for Christmas is The Butcher's stache

[slik]

If Triple A was posting in this thread rn I would give him a Canadian Destroyer

[Emperor Smeat]

They are not wrong though.

Take the Coronavirus 15 or whatever the number is for pounds gain during this pandemic and like double it and that's what Jericho probably gained over this year.

[Emperor Smeat]

Butcher vs. PAC was pretty good despite the shenanigans at the end.

[Evil Vito]

Love the Black Arrow

[Jordan]

So many Fat Jericho tweets he is definitely gonna lash out or diet one of the two.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

He's just gonna get fatter

[Jordan]

I was all about Jade until I followed her on Twitter. She's a fucking newb idiot.

[Evil Vito]

Jade Cargill looks like that after a baby? God damn.

[Jordan]

I DON'T WANT A TO WATCH A FUCKING WEDDING

[Evil Vito]

Penelope Ford so freaking hot.

[slik]

Penelope always looks depressed

[slik]

Trent being taken to a local medical facility

[Evil Vito]

Penelope Ford plz wear a bikini to your wedding

[Emperor Smeat]

That promo by Jade Cargill was 100% WWE style in terms of being fully scripted and memorized.

Same stiffness as a typical WWE style promo although to be fair she doesn't really have that much experience giving TV promos and that style is still very useful for those with weak promo skills despite its drawbacks.

[slik]

Hope Brock Lesnar shows up at Beach Break and pops out of a giant wedding cake and hits a Canadian Destroyer on Kip Sabian

[Evil Vito]

Don’t really want to watch a wedding segment in AEW, but their comedy segments feel a whole lot less cringe worthy than AEW so idk

If it ends with Miro beating the fuck out of people on a beach I’d be down for that

[Jordan]

It was shit. And this wedding is shit. They need to leave that shit for WWE. Nobody wanted Miro to come to AEW and play the same role plus video game nerd. This epsiode is pissing me off.

[Evil Vito]

There’s a Canadian indy wrestler who frequents the AEW subreddit. He’s worked Uno and Grayson plenty of times and apparently Uno’s always said his dream singles match opponent was Dustin Rhodes.

So cool for him getting to knock it off the bucket list.

[slik]

How much longer is left, anyone know?

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Damn I bit on that piledriver near fall

[Triple A]

Finally home from my "office holiday party"... watching... will watch the rest later

[Triple A]

Yeah what time did this start?

[Jordan]

How much longer is left, anyone know?

2 hours would be around 12:07

[Emperor Smeat]

Yeah what time did this start?

Shortly after 10PM.

[slik]

Well, Well, Well

If Triple A was posting in this thread rn I would give him a Canadian Destroyer

[Triple A]

YouTube TV says there are about 42 mins remaining

[Triple A]

Well, Well, Well

Yeah I'd love to see you try... you won't do shit

[slik]

QT Marshall has questionable punches

Rhodes/Uno was enjoyable

That was actually a really good Spears segment. I guess they're writing him off.

Shida is such a babe

[slik]

Abaddon tried to tell Shida hello but Shida attacked her instead, smh

[Damian Rey 2.0]

My girl is kicking the shit outta this jobber

[Jordan]

I think this epsiode has been my least favorite in a long time. I'm ducking out. Just too much stupid shit tonight.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Abaddon tried to tell Shida hello but Shida attacked her instead, smh

WILL YOU STOP

[Evil Vito]

Shida v sexy

Alex Gracia also v sexy

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Shida v sexy

Alex Gracia also v sexy

My pipi v happy

[Damian Rey 2.0]

GET HER BABE!

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I'd love to bite Shida on the neck, lemme tell you

[Emperor Smeat]

Guess AEW ran out of food in catering if Abadon decided to snack on Shida instead.

Also does that mean Shida is going to turn into an Abadon-like zombie/vampire now?

[slik]

Abaddon starting her Christmas feast early

[rez]

JR casual voice goes to commercial as Shida is bleeding all over the goddamn place. WTF, JR

[Triple A]

The Acclaimed's theme is good

[Emperor Smeat]

Moxley being announced for Night 1 of AEW's New Year's shows ends all the speculation of him possibly showing up as a surprise at NJPW's Wrestle Kingdom 15 shows.

[slik]

Hope The Acclaimed cut a mid-match promo too

[Jordan]

I bet Miro ends up cucking Kip with Penelope and ruins the wedding in a "reverse Lana/Lashley" angle and fuck this whole dumb angle. Seriously what a disappointment. You could've had Miro come in like Bolo Yueng in Blood Sport and be a fucking killer, which draws yes it does it draws fucking money to have bad ass believable monsters. But no he's a Gucci wearing streamer nerd who is buddies with Kip fucking "Zack Sabre wasn't interested in coming to America full time" Sabian. AEW is pushing me out I swear to God. At least Saturday is a dependable awesome fight night with UFC. Wrestling is sucking some dick right now.

[slik]

mmmmm Zack Sabre Jr

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I agree with Jordan. Miro is being grossly misused. There's still time to save him. He just needs to destroy Sabian and call the segment and Sabian a joke.

[Emperor Smeat]

That's one ugly looking Sharpshooter by Nick Jackson. Like one tier above The Rock's in terms of ugliness.

[slik]

Really dislike the Young Bucks

[slik]

Really don't want AEW to 'completely implode' for a while since I'm so over WWE I don't think I'd really watch much wrestling if it did....probably just the occasional clips/gifs of New Japan on twitter from time to time

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Nick Jackson getting hit in the nuts.

Completely agree on Miro. Definitely not the presentation he needed.

That said weren’t you mostly complimentary of AEW the past couple of shows? Seems odd to now suddenly feel pushed out but hey to each their own.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Really dislike the Young Bucks

I like them as cocky prick heels. They're bland and unbelievable as babyfaces. Idk what it is but I can't get into and buy them as faces.

Problem now is FTR are better heels and talkers than the Bucks and I don't see how the division works of they're both heel teams.

Nonetheless, I thought it was way to early to take the belts off FTR. There's no credible heel team for the Bucks to fued with.

[Evil Vito]

Pretty meh episode of Dynamite IMO. There was some decent stuff in there and I don’t regret watching it or anything but it’s nothing that would draw me back in if I was just watching for the first time.

Thankfully they don’t often have two meh shows in a row and I already think next week is looking pretty optimistic with Omega/Fenix.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Sounds like they’re really capitalising on moving their World Title and getting Sting in.

[slik]

Yeah I concur with the last two shows being sort of 'eh'

Next two appear to be more stacked with lots of possibilities for fun stuff

[slik]

I wish the Britt Baker talk-show segment was on Dynamite instead of Dark

Yeah this show felt very filler esque. Next week looks fun. Curious to see what direction they take Moxley in now that he's not champ. Can't imagine they feed him another loss in a rematch.

[Emperor Smeat]

Acclaimed vs. Young Bucks was pretty good despite being a bit too long.

This week's show was very enjoyable overall and better than last week's but still below the Winter is Coming and Shaq apperance shows.

This week's show was probably also the best produced one of the coronavirus pandemic era since the fake crowd stuff wasn't that overbearing during it.


Really don't want AEW to 'completely implode' for a while since I'm so over WWE I don't think I'd really watch much wrestling if it did....probably just the occasional clips/gifs of New Japan on twitter from time to time

AEW going away any time soon means WWE can then put all their focus towards trying to topple and getting rid of NJPW and other notable promotions next as part of their global wrestling conquest plans with NXT. Doesn't matter if its international like NJPW or AAA or even domestic like ROH or NWA, if WWE thinks your any sort of a threat to their global plans, you now become a big target to get rid of.

[Evil Vito]

Think it’ll be tough to ever top the 5 or 6 week stretch of QT Marshall gym shows for the most meh run in Dynamite. They did ok for the first couple of weeks but the restrictions of only having a skeleton crew became pretty clear. Once they got everybody back it felt refreshing.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I wish the Britt Baker talk-show segment was on Dynamite instead of Dark

I don't get why they waste good segments on a YouTube show. They could've bumped Jungle Boy and friends v DarkOrder and subbed in Baker's segment.

The segments/backstage stuff was the highlight of the show honestly. Nothing of importance happened in the ring.

[slik]

Jeez I forgot about that run but you're right. Completely forgettable.

I did too, I don't remember it at all

[Evil Vito]

In general the live shows tend to be better than the taped ones just because there seems to be a different sort of energy.

I don’t begrudge them for taping every other Dynamite though. Best to not make the entire roster travel to and from Jacksonville every week during a pandemic.

[slik]

I don't remember anything from the episode on the Cruise ship except the fans chanting "Your boat sucks" when that other cruise ship passed them

[Damian Rey 2.0]

You're right. The difference in energy in the arena is obvious. I think mostly the taped shows have been fine minus the crappy crowd noise. But tonight just felt meh beyond them advancing stories thru segments, interviews and promos.

[Emperor Smeat]

I don't get why they waste good segments on a YouTube show. They could've bumped Jungle Boy and friends v DarkOrder and subbed in Baker's segment.

The segments/backstage stuff was the highlight of the show honestly. Nothing of importance happened in the ring.

I'd assume its just them wanting to test out her segment a few times before giving it Dynamite status. Her talking segment is still a bit rough around the edges.

They do the same thing with Being The Elite to test out some character and storyline stuff before having it show up on Dark and Dynamite. The winless feud between Cutler & Avalon started off there before it got upgraded into being a Dark feud.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

That's true. Silver and Reynolds really got to shine with their comedic chops on BTE and now Silver is one of my favorite acts on the show.

[Emperor Smeat]

Yeah the Dark Order grew a lot in terms of character personalities and direction due to AEW's Being the Elite show.

AEW pretty much is in a Catch-22 situation. If they do anything notable on BTE and/or Dark, then people complain they are wasting stuff that should be strictly on TV. If they try to put everything on Dynamite, then people complain too much stuff is going on or certain stuff is not done as regularly as other stuff while Dark is seen as a useless show to follow.

For a while, some people were arguing AEW should just drop all their women's stuff from Dynamite since it was barely any good without realizing or caring that how can it ever improve if its not given the quality TV time and attention it needs.

[Triple A]

In general the live shows tend to be better than the taped ones just because there seems to be a different sort of energy.

I don’t begrudge them for taping every other Dynamite though. Best to not make the entire roster travel to and from Jacksonville every week during a pandemic.

I feel like the live shows for the most part have been weaker... mostly because of the lack of piped in crowd noise, so it always feels like it has much less energy (and they always seem to do worse in the ratings, so seems like I'm not the only one who feels that way)

[Evil Vito]

See I I find the piped in crowd noise to be distracting when they overdo it. The performers themselves seem to be a bit more locked in knowing they're on the air live.

[Evil Vito]

Miss proper crowds so much though. The Dynamite with Cody and Wardlow in a cage match was probably the best episode of the year, crowd was shit hot for everything. Sigh, fucking COVID.

[Jordan]

AEW is kind of 50/50 for me. There is some talent that I love to watch, and then they have a large amount of talent that I don't think should be on TV. The slow burn approach to storylines is good but I don't like that it's super slow. Sometimes a month or more to pickup segments, like the Cody/Jade/Shaq segment for example. I tend to feel more negatively about the taped episodes because they generally have more b-team focus. The women's division started off pretty good in the beginning but I have hardly any interest in what they are doing with it now. I understand that they are trying to build stars everywhere but I would appreciate seeing the big stars more often.

[Evil Vito]

Yeah that's a fair point. On one hand I appreciate that they try to leverage their big roster and not overexpose anyone, even seeing someone wrestle on Dynamite two weeks in a row is pretty rare...three weeks in a row basically never, aside from the Cody TV title run.

On the other hand they are a bit too rigid with it. I realize a common complaint of WWE is you see the same guys wrestling the same matches week in, week out...but that doesn't mean you have to pull guys off TV entirely for a week. Let them carry on their angle in pre-tapes or segments instead of hitting pause and skipping a week.

Would go a long way toward making shows feel more "equal".

[Evil Vito]

I hope some guys can get a change in direction in 2021. Miro of course, he should be murdering people at the beach during the wedding. But there are others.

Would be great if fans can be back in full force by Double or Nothing, but it's impossible to guess timelines. Vaccines not only need to be rolled out long enough for everyone who wants one to get one but also there will need to be enough time to look at cases and make sure they are actually dropping as hoped before the flood gates can be safely reopened. But whether it's May or later in the summer I hope every company can use it as a clean slate to do a reboot, feel like there will be red hot crowds all over the country since people will just be glad to be able to do things again...so it's a good time to try new things.

[Jordan]

I can see an event with fans in Jacksonville by summer but I don't think we will have AEW or WWE on the road properly all year. I hope I'm wrong though.

I think when AEW was born there were too many guys and girls signed with MLW/ROH/IMPACT that should have been in AEW. And others that were available took the safe bet of going with WWE/NXT. So with that we have a lot of unproven talent on the roster. Add in the pandemic and we got chopped down even more to unsigned or undiscovered US talent because we couldn't get international workers over. I really hope Ethan Page, Mance Warner and even Tessa Blanchard end up in AEW and that AEW makes some cuts at the end of current deals.
