Can we stop calling Ricky Stark's belt a world title? "Fuck the World" World title :nono:

Wait who called it world championship?

Justin Roberts, commentators, talent etc.

Very odd

AEW is just further over exposing themselves. This shows gonna bomb and just make less people watch Dynamite and Rampage.

Gotta be honest, this doesn’t feel big time at all. I love Dustin Rhodes, but come on.

Mr. Nerfect
01-08-2022, 04:44 PM
Did they ever explain why Dustin changed his color scheme up? The red meant something when he first introduced it.

Mr. Nerfect
01-08-2022, 04:47 PM
JR and CM Punk should be the commentary team for this show if they’re not.

Mr. Nerfect
01-08-2022, 04:48 PM
Adding Starks vs. Sydal is smart. You need a buffer either side of the women’s match.

Going up against a Cowboys/Eagles game might not have been the best time to debut a a quarterly special.

Remember when Kenny Omega was upset that WWE was airing some other promotion's anniversary show (I think Evolve) on the WWE Network the same night AEW had a show? That was a fun time :rofl:

Wish this show used the WWF Raw Is War theme as its intro song instead of that song they played

Sammy is alright, but it is likely Dustin's last chance at a title and the best way to get to Dustin/Cody one more time.

Could you have ever imagined in say 2003 that Dustin would still be working and at this level?

Jim Ross and the show being live makes this feel much better/bigger than Rampage... even though the card kinda sucks

Triple A

Kinda wish they would use different sets more often... prob too expensive

Sammy does have the ability to make a match worthwhile. Let's see if he can do it tonight.

Shinsuke should just come out and defend the IC title tonight since WWE haven't had him defend it since June 17, 1997.

Gracia handling Sammy now, perhaps Sammy gets to make a few defenses of the interim TNT Championship? I like Iterim champ's in wrestling, makes some good stories just like it does in MMA.

It is odd but there are lots of rumors everywhere that Cody has bad mental health and needs time to heal. The bad chants and mean tweets have affected his state of mind.

They prob shouldn't have had him get immediately squashed by Wardlow in 15 seconds or w/e a couple of weeks ago if they still wanted ppl to care about his matches

I’m excited to see Hayter vs. Baker. I want Thunder Rosa to be the one to beat Baker but the idea of this Hayter slow build being the one to beat her after she cleans out the division is growing on me a lot.

Finally getting around to this. Really wish they’d have given Dustin the TNT title. He’s still got something in the tank and the story between him and Cody eventually competing for the belt is way more interesting. Ah well.

GD
01-10-2022, 11:57 PM
I particularly didn’t enjoy Sammy’s run as champion. The way his matches are structured and how he needs to get everything in does a disservice to the overall perception. He doesn’t sell enough. Might be true for others as well but he sticks out like a sore thumb.

GD
01-11-2022, 12:01 AM
I was invested in the women’s world title match. I knew Riho wasn’t going to win but it was a fun ride. The dissension with Hayter came across as a tad awkward at times. I guess that’s by design.

GD
01-11-2022, 12:05 AM
I hope Dustin gets a reign as TNT Champion before he decides to retire. He’s such a delight to watch in the ring.

Damian Rey 2.0
01-12-2022, 02:27 AM
I thought the women’s match was oddly structured. Lots of standing around waiting to get hit. And it’s hard for me to buy Riho. She’s so small and frail that most everything she does looks really soft.

The Hayter/Baker feud will hopefully be a good one. Britt hasn’t had a good rivalry since the Rosa feud.

I agree on Dustin. I wanna see him have one more moment of glory.
