AEW Dynamite 9/29/21

[Evil Vito]

Bobby Fish has already taken to Twitter to challenge Sammy for the belt lol

[Triple A]

Lio Rush gimmick seems interesting... bizarre ass promo, but makes it interesting to me rather than him just cutting a generic wrestling promo about how he's a great wrestler or whatever

[rez]

Rhodes to the Top is good so far....fully was expecting it to be more of a copy cat of a WWE E! reality show.

[rez]

nevermind..it's starting to go down that "Rhode"

[Evil Vito]

Lee Johnson and Julia Hart together is the only real “news” to come out of Rhodes to the Top so far

[xrodmuc316]

Ok look, I am just going to say this, put it out there.

All of you liking Dan Lambert's promos, you know he is just saying what Nerfect says right? :rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Triple A]

Ethan Page rules

[Evil Vito]

Bobby Fish has already taken to Twitter to challenge Sammy for the belt lol

And they’re actually doing it!!! Wow. Awesome.

[xrodmuc316]

And they’re actually doing it!!! Wow. Awesome.

Yeah ill watch that! Also, Adam Cole already using his stroke to get people hired! BOOM!

[Emperor Smeat]

Rhodes to the Top is good so far....fully was expecting it to be more of a copy cat of a WWE E! reality show.

Saw the first few minutes of it before switching over to the Red Sox post-game show and it seems a lot better than I expected.

Brandi comes off better on this show than AEW's other shows based on what I saw.

Also laughed when her and Cody got into an argument over her vag and babies popping out of them.

I was a big fan of her cooking/drinking YT show and then she obvi got pregnant. I think it might be back?

[Triple A]

MJF is the best... laughing

[Triple A]

Darby Allin has like a rolling paper stuck in his hair for this entire segment... what is that

[ron the dial]

Ok look, I am just going to say this, put it out there.

All of you liking Dan Lambert's promos, you know he is just saying what Nerfect says right? :rofl::rofl::rofl:
sure but lambert is in on the game and nerfect is a sad bitter baby

[Sepholio]

What if Mr. Nerfect actually is Dan Lambert?

[rez]

someone mentioned this earlier in the thread but I would def be in for a Rush/Hardy feud that Matt loses his faction lol.

[ron the dial]

What if Mr. Nerfect actually is Dan Lambert?
oh shit

[Triple A]

Any1 watch Rhodes to the Top... watching... "backstage" AEW stuff is interesting even though it all seems obviously staged...

[Triple A]

Brandi very annoying.......

[Triple A]

Cody making a big deal about his "big promo"... hyping it up throughout this episode... the really terrible "patriotic" one...

[xrodmuc316]

What if Mr. Nerfect actually is Dan Lambert?

Mind Blown.

Lambert and Nerfect both have 7 letters :shifty:

[rez]

It'd take 3 AEW threads for Noid to come up with the amount of Dan burns from one promo.

[Triple A]

I liked Rhodes to the Top... not bad / pretty good

[xrodmuc316]

I liked Rhodes to the Top... not bad / pretty good

I watched it too, Cody's sister seems a bit out there lol.

[rez]

It's a fake last name ffs

[rez]

I get it on a trademark level but a sister to be bitter? f that. it's reality tv, tho.

[Sting Fan]

Another good show. I wasn’t into the Sammy win in the moment, just haven’t got on the Sammy train yet I guess but the more I think about it the more I like it.

I like that the title feels like it’s defended often and a title defended often probably should change hands a bit more. Makes world title matches feel more special as well as keeping things unpredictable.

I kinda like the fact Sammy wasn’t on fire leading into this as well, again keeps it a bit unpredictable vs. your average build up.

It’s a shame Miros probably not able to get in the world title picture atm

[Lock Jaw]

The moment you have been waiting for is here... I, Lock Jaw, will watch this starting now

[Lock Jaw]

CM Punk back on commentary.... they really have no idea what to do with him, do they? Other than try to cram him onto every show.

[Lock Jaw]

Adam Cole's boom a bit better this week... fit the music a bit better

[Lock Jaw]

Did they just announce Jungle Boy from Value Village? Or did I imagine that?

[Lock Jaw]

Jungle Boy is not a singles star. Also not a huge fan of Adam Cole, he was part of why I stopped watching NXT....

[Lock Jaw]

Bored @ this match right now

[Lock Jaw]

I like how JR always says Jungle Boy Jack Perry.... like he realizes Jungle Boy is a ridiculous name/gimmick and is doing his best to help the kid out by trying to make it a nickname

[Lock Jaw]

Panama Sunrise continues being the worst move in professional rassling

[Lock Jaw]

Match got better as it went on.... Jungle Boy does have potential but he needs an overhaul of gimmick/presentation or else he should not be a singles guy.

[Lock Jaw]

Adam Cole still just.... meh

[Lock Jaw]

Oh.... that Nakazawa dude is still there.... and is some sort of.... I dunno what. At least he isn't wrestling and rubbing oil on himself....

[Lock Jaw]

Fans chant CM Punk.... Punk does nothing.... Danielson comes out and Punk forgotten.... just like in real life.... Punk totally an afterthought in the company now...

[Lock Jaw]

Lucha Bros suddenly appearing with Triple A tag belts.... convenient....

[Lock Jaw]

Jobber tag team out, but showing us that they won a match to give hope....

[Lock Jaw]

Cody's entrance, using his own little underground tunnel is a total heel move....

[Lock Jaw]

Arn Anderson coach thing is dumb... hope Cody is going heel soon and dumps him....

[Lock Jaw]

Cody totally turning heel soon...

[Lock Jaw]

Nice at Arn dumping Cody..... Cody is gonna "snap" soon....

[Lock Jaw]

I like the look of these Bear Country dudes by virtue of being different than everyone else.... too bad they are out here to be jobbers.... unless they can't work, in which case good....

[Lock Jaw]

Seems like they can go.... should definitely be "in the mix" of the tag team division....

[Lock Jaw]

Super quick match, a fun one....

[Lock Jaw]

That Soho/Britt video package the first time I have liked one of those short video promo packages....

[Lock Jaw]

I liked Brodie Lee obviously, and seems like he was a great dude.... but....

Dark Order intolerable.

[Lock Jaw]

Get your shiznit together boys

[Lock Jaw]

Short little chaos match... good "tribute" to Brodie...

[Lock Jaw]

Dan Lambert here... nice... maybe the best promo here....

Where is the rest of his stable

[Lock Jaw]

Smh at fans swearing.... think of the children....

[Lock Jaw]

Nice at Scorpio and Ethan Page really holding their own on the mic too.... especially Page

[Lock Jaw]

Didn't know Hikaru Shida was so good at english....

[Lock Jaw]

Nice.... TayKO a sweet move....

[Lock Jaw]

Nice at the triple threat women's match for Rampage

[Lock Jaw]

MJF time.... but I gotta stop and take a break right now... to be continued later....

[Lock Jaw]

Ok, back for now... here comes Mr. JF

[Lock Jaw]

After hearing Ethan Page talk once, pretty convinced he has more potential as a main event heel than MJF

[Lock Jaw]

Fans keep chanting for Punk... they have more ideas of what to do with him than the writers do....

[Lock Jaw]

MJF such a scumbag

[Lock Jaw]

Sad @ Christian going from fighting for the world title, being screwed, but being fine with it and just going to be one of the "background faces" vs The Elite.....

Even sadder maybe that that is still more relevant than CM Punk....

[Lock Jaw]

Looking forward to seeing Miro destroy someone....

[Lock Jaw]

"Sammy has this air of seriousness about him" - *cut to shot of Sammy casually chewing gum*

[Lock Jaw]

Miro looking like an absolute beast....

[Lock Jaw]

Miro so good....

[Lock Jaw]

Can't think of anyone on the roster I'd feel is "worthy" of beating Miro except maybe Daniel Bryan..... Darby Allin maybe in an ultimate underdog thing...

[Lock Jaw]

And Christian of course

[Lock Jaw]

wut

[Lock Jaw]

Sammy wins, are you kidding me

[Lock Jaw]

In a match that wasn't promoted at all. At a regular show and not even a PPV or "super show" thing.

They just took all they built up with Miro and flushed it down the drain pretty much. The only excuse for this is if they wanted Miro free to take the world title.... but sitting on a heel as it is, that probably isn't going to happen.

[Lock Jaw]

Dumb.

[Lock Jaw]

Only reasonable thing to do now would have Miro "snap" even more and just utterly destroy Sammy in a rematch and quickly win the title back.

[Lock Jaw]

oh no @ Bobby Fish coming to AEW.... hopefully just a one time thing and he isn't under contract.... and hopefully Miro just comes out and destroys them both

[Triple A]

Other than the Bryan vs. Omega match, I liked this episode of Dynamite better than last week's... Much more variety and interesting stuff happening this week instead of just match after match...

[Triple A]

Nice at Scorpio and Ethan Page really holding their own on the mic too.... especially Page

Ya Page rules... Scorpio Sky not really imo... Sky really "lost the crowd" with his not good mic skills, then Page got them back due to being very good

[Triple A]

So glad "SCU" is not a thing anymore... Remembering how they used to do their horrible same intro before every match... the worst.......

[Jordan]

Is Bobby Fish any good?

[ron the dial]

he's fine in the ring but he's definitely not a potential star or anything. maybe if they can get o'reilly to reform reDRagon, but even then i personally don't really care about either guy.

[Bad News Gertner]

1.152 million. Down from 1.273 million.


Abandon ship! It's taking on water!

And they've added Punk, Bryan, Cole etc to draw 200,000 more viewers. Plus they aren't running against NXT anymore.


I think you all owe Mr. Nerfect and xrodmuc an apology

That is a horrible brag. All that shows is they only gained 290,000 of the 700,000+ people who used to watch NXT on Wednesdays.

[Triple A]

Is Bobby Fish any good?

I guess he is considered a "good wrestler" but feel like I have literally never heard him speak, so has zero personality to me

[ron the dial]

it doesn't hep that he spent what felt like 90% of his NXT run injured

[Mr. Nerfect]

That’s with a potential 800k fans that don’t have other live wrestling on that night anymore. That’s with a year more of TV, PPV and giant signings to generate buzz. And they weren’t fucking 12th. Advertisers aren’t as concerned with the 18-49 demo on a dying platform as much as wrestling fans want to pretend they are.

600k was the number I was reading the other day. Do you think advertisers are really going to be breaking bank on 600k white virgins in their 40’s when they could just go to YouTube?

It’ll take months of consistently good programming to erase the bad impressions AEW has made on potential viewers. People who gave it a chance and said “Nope.” They can’t even do a follow-up show properly. Lots of people praising Dynamite. Guess what happened with Rampage? It sucked. CM Punk debuts. Rest of the show sucks. Next Dynamite opens with Matt Hardy vs. Orange Cassidy.

Tell me I am fucking wrong. I dare ya, haha.

Vince has got nothing to worry about. He can give them Kevin Steen, El Generico and Johnny Gargano. It will not make a difference. All these talents’ careers are going to disappear into a black hole, and it’s sad, but that’s the combined effort of WWE and AEW sucking. You either play for the monopoly or you go do community theatre no one really gives a shit about.
