AEW Dynamite - Shaq, Paul Wight and more - 3.3.21

[slik]

Crossroads

[rez]

Let's get it on

[Emperor Smeat]

Not sure I'd start with the Shaq & Jade vs. Cody & Red Velvet match.

This is either going to be surprisingly good or really bad with no in between because of all the question marks going into it.

[erickman]

let's see if cody can carry this

[rez]

If Jade weren't so green to wrestling and Chyna was alive and in her prime..that'd be a cool match. js

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Wow Cody Shaq first? Red Velvet and Cody gonna try to pull off a miracle here.

[Triple A]

Let's go,

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Welp, Jade looks and acts the part

[Emperor Smeat]

Jade Cargill's entrance tron looks cool.

:lol: at this entrance theme for Shaq

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Shaq has cool music. He looks great.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

SHAQ STARTING OH SHIT

[Triple A]

Worried about Shaq tearing his ACL and/or MCL

[Triple A]

Cool back drop

[rez]

There was a local sporting goods store that had a signed pair of worn Shaq sneakers in a glass case. holy fuck were they huge!

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Jesus those chops

[slik]

Same

[Emperor Smeat]

Guess this is under WWE style rules with no man vs. woman stuff allowed.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Jade can destroy me please

[Triple A]

Jade has a great look, but feel like she probably sucks "in the ring"... decent so far though

[rez]

some good heel heat

[Emperor Smeat]

For her first ever match, Cargill looking pretty good so far.

Can see why AEW saw a lot of great potential in her.

:lol: at Shaq beating up the Gunns.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Lmao

[Triple A]

Bitch ass Austin Gunn...

That chair spot seemed dumb since Cody is supposed to be a face I guess and Shaq didn't do anything 2 deserve it...

[erickman]

Guess this is under WWE style rules with no man vs. woman stuff allowed.

now that tessa is gone most wrestling places are doing that.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

For her first ever match, Cargill looking pretty good so far.

Can see why AEW saw a lot of great potential in her.

:lol: at Shaq beating up the Gunns.

She's really athletic. Her movements aren't stiff at all. She's just gotta get ring time.

[Triple A]

Hopefully Austin Gunn isn't there for the rest of the night so he doesn't post 982375978235789987235789235 Instagram stories in 2 hours on AEW's Instagram page,

[rez]

pretty damn impressed with rookie Jade's in ring skills so far.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Damn Jade ate that beautifully

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Shaq bomb my gawd

[Triple A]

Hope this ends up on SportsCenter or whatever and gets AEW a lil publicity

[rez]

AEW scouted well on Jade. They must have a lot of confidence in her instead of using a more experienced woman to team with the celebrity Shaq.

[Triple A]

All the Cody and Shaq spots so far have been booked really well

[Damian Rey 2.0]

This is a fun match so far

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: at Shaq doing a table spot.

[erickman]

this match is not to bad, shaq and the women trained good.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Spine buster and a beauty

[Triple A]

Nice

[Damian Rey 2.0]

SHAQ THRU THE TABLE GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY

[slik]

This is fun

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Great false finish!

[rez]

holy shit. Shaq gotta be getting paid to take those tables like that. This is way better than what WWE would have done with him in a match.

[Triple A]

:y:

[xrodmuc316]

Shaq dead

[rez]

That match was 500% better than it should have been.

[erickman]

shaq is dead

[Triple A]

I guess no Big Show Shaq spot later

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Implant buster and that's it. That was a fun debut. Cargill gonna be a star. Really impressed with how good age looks.

Big props top Shaq for taking that table bump.

[Triple A]

Cricket Wireless commercials pissing me off...

[Triple A]

Yeah Jade looked good... Red Velvet not so much

[Emperor Smeat]

That intergender tag match was very entertaining and way better than I expected.


AEW scouted well on Jade. They must have a lot of confidence in her instead of using a more experienced woman to team with the celebrity Shaq.

Yeah, makes WWE passing on signing her even more puzzling since she has the muscular body type and fitness background that Triple H likes a lot for women with little to no past wrestling experience.

[mitchables]

hello. why is shaq wrestling

it's all over my twitter feed and you guys seem like you would have an answer that i am not willing to look any further for

table spot looked good though

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Tony wanting an interview with a knocked out Shaq ... nevermind Shaq bailed for catering or something.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

That intergender tag match was very entertaining and way better than I expected.

They picked a great way to debut her. Red Velvet's lone job was to her over and make her look good. Mission accomplished.

[erickman]

they kidnaped shaq

[Emperor Smeat]

hello. why is shaq wrestling

it's all over my twitter feed and you guys seem like you would have an answer that i am not willing to look any further for

Just him being a big fan of wrestling and something he's wanted to do for years. Once AEW signed with TNT, he mentioned about wanting to help them out for mainstream exposure.

[slik]

Shaq teleported out of the ambulance

Shaq is the new Fiend.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I need a pot of coffee trying to watch a Pac Fenix match. Awesome finish for Fenix.

[Triple A]

table spot looked good though

He hosts an NBA highlight show on TNT, which is the same channel that AEW is on, and he seemingly has an "itch" to wrestle, so this match happened... There wasn't really much of a big build or reason why they are wrestling each other. The woman on Shaq's team just interrupted a Cody Rhodes promo one time a few months ago and basically challenged Cody to a match

that's... actually really cool

good for shaq, live those dreams big man

maybe i should give AEW a go, i used to love wrestling and tried to get back into it a few years back but it was WWE and it just lost me again so quickly

thank you for the info team :heart:

[Triple A]

This should be a good segment...

[Emperor Smeat]

JR's eternal struggle to get a commercial break timed correctly continues to be funny.

[OssMan]

Lol at shaq going through the table. Whose idea was that

[Triple A]

that's... actually really cool

good for shaq, live those dreams big man

maybe i should give AEW a go, i used to love wrestling and tried to get back into it a few years back but it was WWE and it just lost me again so quickly

thank you for the info team :heart:

AEW is cool... doesn't "insult your intelligence" really and doesn't seem like it's a show written for little kids... They seem to plan things out in advance in a usually coherent manner instead of seemingly booking their shows the night before and constantly making nonsensical decisions on the whims of Vince McMahon

I just watch AEW now and WWE PPVs most of the time

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Max Castor better win that qualifying match. Huge charisma and needs more tv time.

[mitchables]

now i just need to figure out if it actually airs here anywhere...

enjoy the show folks, i'll leave you to it

Don't forget about the heat between Brandi and Shaq before she got preggos

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Jericho and MJF mocking Conrard Thompson

#TurkeyTits

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Turkey tits Lmaoooooo

[Triple A]

The Big Show signed with AEW and is gonna be on the show tonight also @OssMan @mitchables

Fuck you, MJF. Nothing wrong with Target clothes!

Bald jokes lololol

Bitch-off time

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I wish I could afford to buy clothes at target lol

[erickman]

they are going all out tonight

[Emperor Smeat]

Love how they keep bringing back Bischoff just to troll Jericho for these press conferences and town hall meeting segments.

[slik]

love some easy e

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Dasha looking mighty fine, btw

[slik]

young-ish bucks have CENA NUFF

[rez]

Big Show can team up with Young Bucks since they all cannot decide if they're heels or faces

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Why are the Bucks faces

It's usually a pretty fun/chill 2 hours

[rez]

BWHAHAHHAHAHA call back from the Rosie show

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Why are the Bucks faces

I've been asking this for a while. They're way better as heels.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Lmaoooooo they're letting it fly tonight baybay

[xrodmuc316]

God the Young Bucks are horrible.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Brandon Cutler getting his ass kicked during this brawl

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Machine Gun gonna move Ortiz?

[Triple A]

Nick Jackson gonna injure himself before the ppv,

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Or not. So far this is a hell of a go home show.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Santana and Ortiz the best of the tag teams out there but getting the jobber treatment

[rez]

worried for Mox and Omega in that upcoming match

[xrodmuc316]

So they are faces during a promo, then heels taking a cheap shot and having the heel Good Brothers helping, then faces again doing tandem offense?

[slik]

lots of pyro going to happen in exploding barbed wire death match me thinks

[Emperor Smeat]

AEW getting Onita for this Expoldy barbed wire hype video is cool.


Why are the Bucks faces
No clue beyond them just randomly deciding to turn face during the FTR feud. They fit a lot better as tweeners than faces since they've been acting more like that for the past few months.

[rez]

Santana and Ortiz the best of the tag teams out there but getting the jobber treatment

They'll get theirs after Inner Circle is done

[rez]

JJ?!

[Damian Rey 2.0]

JJ FUCKING DILLON

[Triple A]

Wish there was much more of a build for the Omega vs. Moxley match... feel like that's been a frequent problem with the build for big matches seeming too rushed... Seems like they are not gonna be on the show tonight either

[erickman]

jj is there

[xrodmuc316]

Oh shit JJ Dillon!

That makes sense Shaq gets something in return for his reality show. Only seen a couple of episodes but it was a fun show to watch.

[slik]

where doug dillenger at

[Emperor Smeat]

Ouch at Jungle Boy's back.

First he gets driven into the railing and then gets nailed onto cold concrete afterwards.

[erickman]

damn ads

[slik]

Tully always looks like he is plotting on the ring apron

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Spike piledriver baybay

[Emperor Smeat]

Tully pinning Luchasaurus was a surprise.

Match itself was very good despite it falling apart a bit right at the end.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

That dastardly Shawn Spears!

[Triple A]

AEW should sign Ric Flair and Tessa Blanchard and do an angle where they have an affair with each other

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Well that was awkward

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Tony telling JJ he's not getting paid extra for those lines.

[erickman]

no more bs that is good

[xrodmuc316]

"No More BS" he is going full anti WWE before he even said word one.

[tman220]

Is he talking about himself? Didn't reports said he would be wrestling too?

[Triple A]

Hmm

[Supreme Olajuwon]

It’s not CM Punk

[xrodmuc316]

Paul Wight looks rejuvenated


Show looks great physically

Rose Colored Glasses...

He looks exactly the same as he did 2 months ago on Raw when he punked out like a bitch to Randy Orton.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Can't believe Thunder Rosa or Britt Baker aren't in the finals. Buncha bullshit.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

It’s not CM Punk

Feel like they're setting themselves up for failure. Hall of fame talent? No idea who it could be.

[Triple A]

I guess Mizunami was part of a 6 woman tag match at the first Double or Nothing in 2019... don't remember her at all

Hikaru Shida, Riho & Ryo Mizunami defeated Aja Kong, Yuka Sakazaki & Emi Sakura

[rez]

Damn...that first hour flew by. good show

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Yo fuck Nyla Rose

She’s not Awesome Kong. Stop treating her like Awesome Kong.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Hey you know who was pretty good? Awesome Kong.

[xrodmuc316]

Feel like they're setting themselves up for failure. Hall of fame talent? No idea who it could be.

The Ryback!

But seriously, yet ANOTHER WWE guy coming in lol

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I like Nyla well enough. Her title reign was shot dead by the pandemic.

[erickman]

Damn...that first hour flew by. good show

i think that was the best 1st hour of aew i have ever seen lets hope the 2nd hour does not stink.

[Emperor Smeat]

Feel like they're setting themselves up for failure. Hall of fame talent? No idea who it could be.

Yeah unless its someone on the level of The Rock or Batista, there really isn't that many names available that wouldn't be a buzz kill or fall flat of being a mega moment.

Same for which Hall of Fame Big Show was implying since there are a bunch of them.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Britt and Thunder Rosa on the pre show smdh

[rez]

:rofl: Mr. T.

[rez]

Britt and Thunder Rosa on the pre show smdh

Really? That's some BULLSHIT

[Emperor Smeat]

That Exploder Suplex by Ryo was amazing.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Wait......could it be a women's star???

[Triple A]

That's surprising

[rez]

Wow. Nice...that was unexpected.

[Emperor Smeat]

Surprised Ryo won.

Match itself was a pretty good hard hitting bout but it could have been a few minutes shorter for its own benefit.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Ryo and Shida doesn't do jack shit for me. Even tho Shida is fucking gorgeous.

[rez]

Ryo and Shida doesn't do jack shit for me. Even tho Shida is fucking gorgeous.

I'm fine with it. Something different for an American audience.

[slik]

what if the new wrestler is country singer carrie underwood

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I'm fine with it. Something different for an American audience.

I wouldn't mind it as a tv match. But for a ppv it's meh for me. They have better options but aren't going with them and Idk why.

[rez]

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x33r2cb

[Emperor Smeat]

AEW's Women tournament ended up being one of the most unpredictable tournaments I've ever seen.

Like a page out of Roddy Piper's "Just When You Think You Have All The Answers, I Change The Question" promo for how it played out.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Honestly no idea who it's gonna be Sunday. None. But I feel like it'll disappoint.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Be still my beating heart it's Ricky Starks

[rez]

ugh. why are they doing a Sunday show? Loved the Saturday shows...some other shit going on that night?

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at that bitch slap by Ricky Starks

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Starks' shoes lmao

[Triple A]

horrible disgusting shoes...

[Damian Rey 2.0]

ugh. why are they doing a Sunday show? Loved the Saturday shows...some other shit going on that night?

Think there's a UFC fight thisweekend

[slik]

Brian Cage nearly lost his pants lol

[Triple A]

ugh. why are they doing a Sunday show? Loved the Saturday shows...some other shit going on that night?

Yeah damn...

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Another good segment. That's 3 in a row for Sting. They've done a good job building up steam the last 3 weeks.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Brian Cage nearly lost his pants lol

Thought we were about to see some swolverine cheeks lmao

[Emperor Smeat]

ugh. why are they doing a Sunday show? Loved the Saturday shows...some other shit going on that night?

They originally didn't want to go against a high profile boxing event that was rumored to take place on the same date as Revolution's original late February date.

Then they didn't want to go up against UFC's even this Saturday so they picked Sunday since at the time the NBA hadn't made a decision regarding the date of their All-Star game.

Instead of delaying it again, AEW said eff it and kept the Sunday date.

[rez]

All major sporting events should be Saturday afternoons

That way Europe can watch at a decent time

sorry rest of the world...

[Damian Rey 2.0]

LET'S GO MAX CASTER!

[Damian Rey 2.0]

All major sporting events should be Saturday afternoons

100%

[Triple A]

Wonder why they kept Fenix out of the ladder match

[Emperor Smeat]

Max Caster's lucky Brodie Lee isn't around anymore or else he'd be missing his head after that insult to -1.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Thank God Bowen's sorry ass isn't out here to ride Caster's coattails

[Triple A]

The Acclaimed has really grown on me... thought they were terrible at first

[erickman]

west texas rednecks love it

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I really like Scorpio Sky. They need to push him as a single.

[Triple A]

"10" unmasked,

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Scorpio Sky with some of the best guest commentary every. Just sitting there putting himself over like you're supposed to.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Feel bad for Sky if he’s the only “bumper” in the ladder match. He’s going to take a whooping

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder why they kept Fenix out of the ladder match

Probably to stop people from complaining a lot if he didn't win the match.

The Lucha Bros are opening their new wrestling merch store later this week in California so that probably played a big role into him being out of the latter match.

[rez]

I really like Scorpio Sky. They need to push him as a single.

He shoulda been the first TNT champ imho but by the time they announced the title he wasn't "hot"

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Wait when did Penta get added? I must have missed that.

[Triple A]

Sky is very boring "on the mic" imo... doesn't really have "star potential" cause of that imo!

[Triple A]

Wait when did Penta get added? I must have missed that.

I think he was one of the first three that were just announced as part of the match (Penta, Cody & Sky)

Oh dang ok that’s good. Still wish Rey was in it.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I respectfully disagree

[Damian Rey 2.0]

MAX CASTER BAYBAY!

[Emperor Smeat]

Lame ending aside, 10 vs. Caster was pretty good.

[Emperor Smeat]

On one hand, the women's division getting two matches at Revolution is great but on the other hand, that tag match looks way too good on paper to be pre-show material.

[slik]

Revolution looks like a fun show

[slik]

Feel like a big angle is going to happen since this is closing the show

[slik]

Wish Dolly Parton would come out right now and hit Matt Hardy in the head with a guitar

[rez]

Has there ever been a faction that had to be re written as much as Dark Order has? They're still entertaining, tho.

[Emperor Smeat]

Feel like a big angle is going to happen since this is closing the show

"Big Money" Matt Hardy reveals he received very bad financial advice from Big Show and has been broke for a while. All the money he's been flashing was actually taken from wrestlers wallets in the locker room while they were not looking.

[rez]

not including whatever NWO mix

[Damian Rey 2.0]

New Day?

[Emperor Smeat]

The Alliance in WWE?

[Damian Rey 2.0]

We're really not gonna get a Moxley and Omega interaction to close the show? Bummer.

[slik]

Hangman is 'above' Matt Hardy IMO

[Emperor Smeat]

We're really not gonna get a Moxley and Omega interaction to close the show? Bummer.

Yeah that's a bit weird. Maybe Omega has been way too busy working on whatever contraption he has in store for the explody barbed wire match.

[rez]

Marty Scurll was allegedly the first plan to lead the faction. Him staying where he was seems like they probably dodged a bullet on PR. It also led to Brodie and Brodie Jr. so I'll take it.

[Triple A]

Silver rules so much, so smooth

[Emperor Smeat]

Tag match was pretty good despite it running out of steam right near the end.

:lol: at the random mass brawl to close out the show.

[Emperor Smeat]

That was a very entertaining show overall and one of AEW's better go-home shows.

[erickman]

We're really not gonna get a Moxley and Omega interaction to close the show? Bummer.

saved for the countdown show

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Helluva go home show. They did a great job advancing most of the stories they've had going. Except for the main event.

[Jordan]

Hall of Fame WORTHY talent... Hmmm by using those words we should probably assume it's someone who isn't a current hall of famer.

Friend, have you heard of the New World Order? Id like to take a moment to discuss this with you. It all started back in 1995...

[rez]

Yessir. You're hearing it first. It'll be Christian Cage or w/e he'll go by.

[rez]

Friend, have you heard of the New World Order? Id like to take a moment to discuss this with you. It all started back in 1995...

I mentioned besides NWO in a different post a few pages ago

[Supreme Olajuwon]

But did you mention The NWO Wolfpack? Or the NWO 2000?

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Now that I think aboot it, I'm thinking Christian

I doubt it. He's prob signed up to get involved in whatever Edge has going on at Mania.

Honestly I have no idea. Punk is the too obvious choice but I can't see it. Think they'd have signed him already.

I have no clue what talent is sitting out there that is readily available and big enough a name to hype this way.

Unless it's a New Japan star.

[rez]

But did you mention The NWO Wolfpack? Or the NWO 2000?

I said NWO remix so sure

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Could be Hall or Nash or Xpac.

they're all done wrestling.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Oh wait Foley. He’s been pretty open in his support of AEW

Could be him

[Supreme Olajuwon]

This is fun. Wrestling is fun when there’s speculation. Wish other promotions knew about that.

Could be him

Oh yeah that's a good guess

Punk, Lesnar and Batista would be first tier choices. Christian and Mark Henry could be possible if they aren't signed to WWE. Joey Styles could be possible but that wouldn't be huge, awesome but not huge. I could see Trish or Lita provided they aren't signed with WWE. Same for Paige. Can't really think of anyone else that would fit the hype.

I'm still strong on Christian. I think Sting (and Paul) convinced him....

[rez]

I love the bromance of Christian and Edge (Edge even brought him into that Haven SyFy show). I think it's overblown tho.

Kurt Angle?

Nobody else is in the ring with him in that gif.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Yo if it ends up being Lex Luger standing in Sting’s corner I’m going to be disappointed.

Punk: sure, wouldn't complain. bring his wife in, too.
Lesnar: maybe in the crowd as a one off at the most....
Batista: lol....too busy making Marvel and Hollywood money
Mark Henry: I'd be fine with...a final one off with Paul.

isn't Lex still in a wheel chair?

I honestly think that Jericho is gonna diss his fat ass old rocker gimmick soon and get in the best shape of his life.

[rez]

unless his right wing wife has her thumb up his ass tic ;)

[Sepholio]

I'm gonna have to say it'll be Hornswoggle.

Seriously though my first thought is Kurt Angle.

[Black Widow]

I'm interested to see Shaq wrestle might watch the match in a little bit.

[Emperor Smeat]

I'd laugh if Big Show wasn't talking about a wrestling Hall of Fame and instead a NFL one since Cody mentioned in a recent media call about Pat McAfee having talks with AEW which McAfee later denied.

McAfee has been someone who drew a lot of praise by Triple H and NXT/WWE officials for his work in NXT and his random disappearance from NXT has been a bit puzzling.

WWE with NBC/FOX. let's see how this works out in 2021

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I will mark the fuck out of it's Cena. But I highly doubt it'd be him. One mention of it to Vince and there'd be a fleet of WWE branded Brinks trucks on Cena's front yard.

Lesnar is too expensive for how limited he would be.

Kurt Angle is too old. So is Foley. Unless they're bringing in and hyping on air personalities.

Punk would make the most sense and create a ton of buzz.

Paige would be interesting. But I don't think she can get cleared. So it would be an odd signing. Feel like it has to be an in ring act. Not a manager or valet or whatever.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Also, it's the "biggest scoop ever". So maybe it's a giant wrestler none of us know about or thinking of. Big Cass maybe lmao.

[slik]

What if it is KOZLOV

[Damian Rey 2.0]

By gawd, it's gonna be the Great Khali

Cena signing a deal with AEW would be the modern day version of Hogan leaving for WCW tier in terms of shock and holy shit moment even if Cena's actual usefulness in the ring is very limited these days due to his movie and entertainment career.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

AEW does do a really good job of protecting their performers and keeping them featured without actually wrestling. For instance, Darby Allen and Team Taz have gotten a shit ton of tv time but maybe 1 or 2 matches since Sting showed up.

If they could sign Cena, their ppv schedule and the way they build out their storylines could workfor a guy with that type of schedule.

That said, I honestly hope it ends up being Punk.
