AEW Dynamite - The Final Friday - 6.18.21

[slik]

The final Friday Dynamite...on Sat next week and then back to normal on Wednesdays.

Wardlow/Hager MMA/rasslin match.

[slik]

Wardlow/Hager MMA Cage match opening the show

[Triple A]

Interesting setup...

[Triple A]

Jim Ross not there tonight? Replaced by Taz

[Evil Vito]

I wish JR wasn’t there but alas

[slik]

Good, hope JR never returns!!

[Evil Vito]

This is a cool layout. Let’s go Wardlow

[erickman]

nope jr is there

[Triple A]

AEW does the fake crowd noise so much better than WWE... Actually sounds realistic rather than a terrible video game with 923875 glitches

[slik]

I like Aubrey's all-black ref gear, they should keep that

[Evil Vito]

I imagine they won’t have Hager drop an MMA fight but a guy can dream. GO WARDLOW!

[Triple A]

lol @ JR suddenly talking after 6 mins... taking a shit maybe...

[erickman]

give hagar his 1st mma loss

[slik]

jake hager sux

[slik]

Wardlow cool IMO

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I don’t like the MMA match in wrestling because we know what an MMA match looks like and it doesn’t look like what a wrestling promotion can give us.

[Evil Vito]

AEW's insistence on putting over Hager's MMA record feels like how WWE insists that The Miz is an actual Hollywood star because of their own direct-to-DVD movies and USA cross-promotion.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

MMA is very specifically not about style and spectacle. It’s what sets it apart from boxing.

[slik]

How does someone win this match, are there points being scored...

[Triple A]

How does someone win this match, are there points being scored...

They said no judges, only knockout or submission I think

[slik]

Would be funny if Tazz said 'you know what JR' and bloodied him with a spike like Abdullah the Butcher

[erickman]

i get the piper mr t boxing match vibe from this

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Like I’m just watching Hager have top control and throw 1 hammer fist when in a real fight he’d throw 30. It just doesn’t translate.

[slik]

IDK that this match is working...

[slik]

Boooo
Hager sucks

Legit lol'd a Hurricana in MMA match

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I need more Wardlow and less Hager in my life.

I don’t think this makes that happen

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Good promo Kaz!

[slik]

Wish Excalibur would start 'uncontrollably' swearing for no reason on air

[Evil Vito]

Darby rules

[Evil Vito]

Final taped Dynamite of the pandemic era

2 more Jacksonville Dynamites next Saturday and the following Wednesday but both are live. Then it’s back on the road finally. Feels good.

[Triple A]

Darby rules

Ethan Page is cool too

[slik]

lol @ ziptie

[Triple A]

That was good

[slik]

I enjoyed that match

[Evil Vito]

One of the better handicap matches I can remember

[Triple A]

Enjoying this...

[Triple A]

Statlander hot

[Evil Vito]

Asslander looking like a snack as usual

[Triple A]

That was very fun!

[Triple A]

Sweet to see matches with lil stories in them rather than just being there to fill time...

[Evil Vito]

:lol: Nakazawa being left behind. Love it

[slik]

I missed OC vs Bononi, how was it

[Triple A]

I missed OC vs Bononi, how was it

Basically a "comedy match" but very fun imo!

[slik]

thx man!

[slik]

would be great if Tony Schiavonne started interfering in Britt Baker matches and started throwing feral cats at her opponents

[Triple A]

Where has The Butcher been...

[slik]

Christian stuck in a Cage

[slik]

Hope Brock Anderson turns heel on Cody

[slik]

Brock Anderson is not too shabby, Arn has to be pretty proud.

[Triple A]

song in this vacuum commercial is one of the worst songs i've ever heard in my life

[slik]

better than DRUM LOUD in the Sesame Street Autism commercial

[Evil Vito]

Gotta love Brock Anderson's out of shape frat boy from Myrtlr Beach aesthetic

[Evil Vito]

Pretty good debut for Anderson

[slik]

Andrade doesn't seem captions...

[slik]

well in Spanish captions are fine

[slik]

Good Andrade interview

[Evil Vito]

Teasing that Omega/Page match for All Out hell yeah

[slik]

Wish AEW would debut DAMN iNATOR as the newest Dark Order member

[Evil Vito]

Penelope Ford very sexy

[Triple A]

Enjoying this episode... good stuff all around

[slik]

'Please welcome our newest member, DARK iNATOR'

Damn man grabs mic, cuts a promo on some jabronis and shoves mic in Alex Marve's face

[slik]

Penelope Ford finally wins a match

[Triple A]

smiling @ Miro

Love him

[slik]

lol @ Miro "God's favorite Champion"

[slik]

Vickie going to rassle

[Evil Vito]

Julia Hart not very good yet tbh...

Probably could use a Stardom or TJPW tour once things open up to get some experience.

[Triple A]

Cash Wheeler always sounds like he has a cold

[slik]

good tron video for Kazarian

[slik]

wish it was anyone else in this match but the bucks

[Evil Vito]

Woooooo no more taped Dynamites!

[Triple A]

Is the Wed June 30 Dynamite going to be live with fans?

[Evil Vito]

Anyway that was one of the better taped shows they’ve done. Good stuff all around. Glad to get a live crowd back next week and then back live and in the regular time slot the week after.

Good time to be a fan.

[Evil Vito]

Is the Wed June 30 Dynamite going to be live with fans?

Yep, they’re selling tickets for it.

[Evil Vito]

The June 30 Dynamite is also being billed as as "thank you" to Jacksonville. Wouldn't be surprised if the roster empties out at the end of the show or something as a sendoff for 14 months straight in the same building.

Obviously the crowds being back is the most important but aesthetically it'll just be nice to see different venues.

[erickman]

Probably could use a Stardom or TJPW tour once things open up to get some experience.

or send her to impact
