[Supreme Olajuwon]

If Lucha Bros and Ingobernables only goes 5 minutes because this show is overbooked, I swear to god Tony…

[Jordan]

I am excited for a big episode! You know Mox, he's my favorite wrestler so I'm pretty excited to see him vs Jericho at this special QUAKE BY THE LAKE. This is a big rematch, years in the making!

[xrodmuc316]

Over/Under on Mox/Jericho blading, 3 minutes?

[ClockShot]

Leaving work now. Hope I don't miss anything good.

[Mr. Nerfect]

That promo picture doesn’t really make sense of anything that’s happening. You can barely recognize anyone. The way they usually do it with the matches separated is better.

[Jordan]

Over/Under on Mox/Jericho blading, 3 minutes?

I'll go over! But still, there will be blood!

[Jordan]

I bet we kick off with the Coffin Match.

[xrodmuc316]

I'll go over! But still, there will be blood!

That is pretty bold!

Im thinking the bell rings, they fight to the outside, somebody blades, they go back in the ring, probably about 165 seconds of action.

[slik]

The Lake will be QUAKED

[Jordan]

The Lake will be QUAKED

Wait a second... did you... did you feel that? I think I feel it coming!

[Jordan]

Guys I had a wisdom tooth taken out today and I'm totally fine, no swelling or pain or anything it's amazing.

I had a delicious homemade white bean chicken stew with carrots, spicy peppers, onions and kale.

[rez]

We're there, d00dz. ehrh erh uhh huh huh

[slik]

oh no JR on commentary already

[slik]

I bet we kick off with the Coffin Match.

lol

[Jordan]

I'm a big fan of both Brody King and Darby. Big fan of House of Black as a trio. Individually all three are fucking money.

[slik]

@Frank Drebin

any big predictions for this episode

[Jordan]

Whoa @ King's facepaint.

Oh wow we got TACKS! guys! BLOOD! THERE IS BLOOD! ALREADY!

[slik]

Darby Allin has COFFI-NUFF

[Triple A]

watching AEW Dynamite while delirious with COVID-19

[Jordan]

KING is GUSHING

[Frank Drebin]

Moxley gonna have to cut a vein to get over now

[Triple A]

cool...

[slik]

I believe this is a new record for blood on Dynamite, 3 minutes into the show

[Triple A]

Darby vs. big guy, my fav type of match

[Jordan]

watching AEW Dynamite while delirious with COVID-19

Ah bro I'm so sorry. I had it bad recently if you remember. Sorry brother. Take Tylenol and order some ice cream or frozen sorbet or something to help keep your temp low. I'm sure you are doing the right things. Covid sucks.

[Frank Drebin]

Would hate to be in the front row with Brody King bleeding like that

[Jordan]

I think King cut an artery or something my god.

[Triple A]

2 much blood

[Triple A]

making me dizzy

[Frank Drebin]

@Frank Drebin

any big predictions for this episode

Another MJF-less show. :n:

[Jordan]

Brody King is the man I love this dude. He's so nostalgic of Bruiser Brody to me. I guess all the Brodie's are like Brody.

[Frank Drebin]

Triple A don't die!!!

Don't give in to Moussad!!

[Triple A]

Ah bro I'm so sorry. I had it bad recently if you remember. Sorry brother. Take Tylenol and order some ice cream or frozen sorbet or something to help keep your temp low. I'm sure you are doing the right things. Covid sucks.

Thank you brother, God bless you. Feeling a lil better now, on the upswing. Mostly just feel like I have a cold and terrible sore throat rn and feels like my head is in a bubble but most of the fever and stuff is gone

[slik]

would be interested in a Brody King vs Brock Lesnar match

[Jordan]

Triple A don't die!!!

Don't give in to Moussad!!

Plz don't die! Plz don't die!

[Jordan]

Leaving work now. Hope I don't miss anything good.

You're missing the coffin match and Brody is GUSHING blood from thumbtacks on Darby's skateboard! YUCK!

[slik]

@Triple A

I will let owenbrown know that if you die it is in your will that owenbrown be made a SUPERmod and assume a reign of power on tpwwforums dot com

[Jordan]

Everybody on Dynamite wrestles like it's their last match lol.

[Frank Drebin]

Blood all over the ringside area. Girl sipping a pink lemonade with Brody King bleeding profusely inches away.

[xrodmuc316]

Buddy's finisher is simple but always looks good

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Very good Brandon Cutler cosplay at ringside. Legit thought it was him for a mo

[#1-norm-fan]

Homemade chicken strips and onion rings.

Don’t deep fry at home often but I thought I’d fatten up in honor of QUAKE BY THE LAKE!

[Triple A]

@Triple A

Yes I agree to this

[Triple A]

Dark Julia Hart hot...

[Frank Drebin]

Well that at least explains why the lights were out for what felt like 6 or 7 minutes.

[rez]

IT'S SSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!@!!!!!!!!!

[xrodmuc316]

I know they are saying "We Want Sting!", but what if they were saying " We Want Sid!". Powerbombs for everybody!

[Triple A]

All momentum in this match seems fucked...

[Mr. Nerfect]

Brody King sucks. He looks like an IT nerd, not a wrestling monster. The blood smells like desperation.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Moxley probably going to decapitate himself later to compete since his ability to have a match that is compelling on his own has faded. And he’s working with Jericho.

[Jordan]

Lol @ the finish, that was really good. Great match, lots of blood!

[Triple A]

Great match, didn't need all the interference!

[xrodmuc316]

HOLY SHIT Darby won a match?!?! Finally getting that CM Punk rub payoff 11 months later!

[Frank Drebin]

All momentum in this match seems fucked...

Usual overstuffed shit but with each side having backup it would have been stupid not to do that.

[Triple A]

spacing out again during Moxley promo

[Frank Drebin]

I'm going to assume with Mox / Jericho tonight that this means Punk will be ready.......?

[xrodmuc316]

Tiny better be paying Bret Hart something since half of every interview anybody in the company gives is about Bret or his family.

[Frank Drebin]

V anti Moxley rn. Can't help it. Just gonna be a shit match with blood going to the outside 10 seconds in. Cornette is gonna have a field day.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Wish he wouldn’t do that wiggle thing he does every promo cause the substance is good

And he’s from Cincinnati, Ohio, a proud American city!

Moxley has not been good since the Brock match.

I hope that girl didn't get any Brody King blood in her pink lemonade.

Jericho looking 10 years younger!

It’s been over six years people.

Lionheart Jericho is Jericho clean shaven.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

The grocery store sells strips of wagyu steak. Cubed those up, marinated in some soy sauce, Mexican oregano, cumin, and garlic: steak burrito with pico, guac, chipotle crema, and cheese. One of my favorite new things to make.

Jericho’s got three modes — comedy heel, babyface and serious heel.

Moxley has not been good since the Brock match.

That match was shit! Brock Lesnar, NCAA Wrestling Champion, UFC Champion, most legit pro wrestler ever, wouldn't even do chainsaw or flaming thumbtack spots with Mox. Lesnar is just lazy and doesn't understand the biz!

[Frank Drebin]

Lol....can't wait for House of the Dragon to bomb

[ClockShot]

Got home in time for Mexico's finest to kick off.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Why is Andrade wrestling with his shirt on

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Fat kid in the pool energy

[Frank Drebin]

Want to vomit @ that deliwhich ad

[Jordan]

Trust Busters are in the Trio's Tournament. I didn't know who that was so I looked it up...

On the heels of a new group debuting at Saturday's AEW Dark tapings in Orlando, Dave Meltzer is reporting that The Trust Busters may be around to stay -- either in AEW or Ring of Honor.

The new group is made up of Ariya Daivari (now going by Ari), former ROH wrestler Slim J, and former WWE NXT wrestler Parker Boudreaux. f4wonline.com

[Triple A]

This card is cool

[ClockShot]

Panera Bread Mac & Cheese for dinner. Good stuff.

What's everyone else munching on right now?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Trust Busters are in the Trio's Tournament. I didn't know who that was so I looked it up...

f4wonline.com

I still don’t know who they are.

But I bet it is a game changer!

[Jordan]

I'm enjoying the banter between Tony Schiavone and Taz.

[xrodmuc316]

Lol....can't wait for House of the Dragon to bomb

Discovery/Warner makes AEW promote their other shows for free.
Tiny Khan thinks this is proof he is going to get a HUGE renewal contract :rofl:

[Frank Drebin]

Always thought the Andrade / Gargano match in NxT is one of the most underrated matches I've ever seen. So good but never gets mentioned.

[ClockShot]

Apron Destroyer was about as clean as it can get.

[ClockShot]

Double knot it for good measure.

NOT THE DOUBLE KNOT :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

That’s pretty funny

SHUTUP, BRANDON. NO ONE ASKED YOU

We know Kenny coming back next week, GAME CHANGER. Actually, GAME OVER Triple H.

[Jordan]

Have they called themselves the Hung Bucks before

I heard Excalibur say it last week and it made me lol.

[ClockShot]

Oh. A squash.

[rez]

Shouldn't that squash match been on Dark

[slik]

Is that a new finisher for Luchasaurus

[ClockShot]

BACK OFF JULIA!

HE'S A MARRIED MAN!

[Jordan]

It would seem like Miro would team up with Sting and Darby to face House of Black but they aren't figured into the trio's tournament, and also Miro really doesn't fit on a team with Darby and Sting.

[Triple A]

I like Nick Comoroto's new look

This is the longest a match has gone in Mox's AEW history without going outside the ring and/or somebody blading :rofl:

[Triple A]

blood

[slik]

would be funny if Jericho was blinded and put Aubrey in the Walls of Jericho 'by accident'

[xrodmuc316]

I guess bleeding is bleeding, no blading necessary

[Supreme Olajuwon]

The fun thing about Taz calling all these moves by their official judo names is he could be 100% making it all up. I have no idea. But I believe him.

[Triple A]

wtf at going to commercial during the walls of jericho, stupid

[xrodmuc316]

LOL got his ear ring ripped out, somehow still bladed his forehead :rofl:

[rez]

seriously? commercial during a potential tap out? Kevin Dunn get hired?

Punk, Bryan back....Omega you'd think. Let's pick up where we left off at Double or Nothing and forget the last couple of months.

I'm convinced that being straight edge makes you lose your hair and go grey faster.

Andrade and Rush / Lucha Bros was really really good. Didn't even need blood.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The old man of the mountain is back. And I do mean old man.

[Vastardikai]

I used to think Baron Corbin was agressively bland. But at least he has a decent look, a gimmick, and a somewhat memorable name. Daniel Garcia has none of these (No, "Good at Wrestling" hasn't been a gimmick since Bret retired. And it was a gimmick for him because not everyone was "Good at Wrestling.")

Daniel Garcia has none of these (No, "Good at Wrestling" hasn't been a gimmick since Bret retired. And it was a gimmick for him because not everyone was "Good at Wrestling.")

Baron Corbin is a good hand. He just doesn't have the it factor to potentially make him a star. But he's a solid, safe worker that can make other guys look good. If I was starting a company he'd be someone I'd be interested in picking up for my roster as an upper midcard guy.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Never got it with Corbin. Watching in last week though, he’s really good. He’s always put one foot in front of the other really well, if nothing special. But he gets great reactions without needing to a million flips.

Daniel Garcia has got potential. I want him to get better. He’s so…commonplace though. He needs a lot of polish and a bit of dynamism to go with the wrestling.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Punk being back is fun. I expect him and Moxley to bleed profusely at All Out.

I think Punk being out has hurt whatever storyline they had planned for MJF. We shall see.

Loved Moxley Jericho 2. Thought it was better than their first match.

[Sting Fan]

Punks back, looks like Kenny next week, Mox has been killing it.

The world is good!

[Mr. Nerfect]

I’m surprised Omega’s actually returning. I wonder if he’s somehow managed to become good over the past year?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Now they will definitely climb to 980k viewers.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I’m surprised Omega’s actually returning. I wonder if he’s somehow managed to become good over the past year?

That’s a decent point. Certainly there will be some ring rust, but I doubt he’ll go from one of the best in the world to merely “good.” Don’t you worry.

[Evil Vito]

-Brody vs. Darby was good fun. I was totally expecting Sting to be in the coffin the entire time. I'll never tire of Sting just showing up in random places. Trios match with HOB/Sting/Darby/Miro likely upcoming.

-Faccion Ingobernable/Lucha Bros was awesome and the match I was waiting for since Rush signed. Definitely lived up to the hype for me and I'm jazzed at Dragon Lee coming in next week too.

-Obvious teases at Omega being the Bucks' partner. My body is ready.

-Not really sure a Luchasaurus squash was needed, Jungle Boy pretty much admitted as much on commentary "I probably won't be here long", could've probably just had Christian do an interview that Jungle Boy crashes and it would've had the same effect as what they did

-Miro confirms he's going after HOB so again, feels like that trios match will happen. In the meantime though a Brody/Miro hoss fight sounds damn fun to me.

-Nice to see Wardlow and FTR are still on terms. Can't really say that I care about the Jay/Sonjay/Satnam group. Sonjay is great on the stick but Lethal, while being a solid in-ring hand, just kinda bores me.

-Starks/Solo had some cool history with them being former tag partners. But obviously it was meant to just get Ricky a quick win and build up to a match with Hobbs that I'm interested in seeing.

-Stokely has been stealing the scene for me. I love how he's just seemingly recruiting everyone.

-Jade vs. Rayne was meh. Jade's great but I'm kinda just ready for her to be dethroned at this point. That said the main candidate for that (Kris Stat) is now hurt and much as I like Athena I don't know if I totally buy her as being the one to do it. If Khan has a firm plan on something he's shown he'll hold it off if someone is injured, so if he really wants Kris Stat to do it he might hold off, but guess it depends on how long she's out.

-Jericho vs. Mox was really good. Hard-hitting brawl that hit all the right notes for me. 2 really enjoyable Jericho matches in a row isn't something I expected in 2022 but I'm very happy to be wrong on that one.

-Not thrilled about more JAS/BCC brawling because I'm so ready for that to be done, unfortunately that's not happening.

-Am thrilled about Punk. He looked great here and I'm happy to see him moving around so well on that foot post-op.

-Punk vs. Mox at All Out has me hyped.

[Evil Vito]

With Punk now being back, it feels like MJF could feasibly return at any time. I'm gonna say right now that if he's not back by, at the latest, Grand Slam, then I will actually start to think he's not returning/has been negotiating his way out behind the scenes.

[Evil Vito]

https://static0.thesportsterimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Collage-Maker-10-Aug-2022-1108-PM.jpg?q=50&fit=contain&w=750&h=375&dpr=1.5

On paper Dark Order should stand no chance against House of Black with how they've been booked lately but Miro will likely crash their match so they're protected in defeat.

I imagine 2 members of Dark Order get taken out during the course of the tournament, likely with backstage attacks framed to look like it was Kenny and The Bucks. This of course forces Hangman into the tournament by the finals because there is no chance Hangman's not wrestling at the PPV.

Of course we'll find out eventually that UE were behind the attacks and it'll put The Elite back on a unified front.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Why they’re creating new belts when the teams are this scant/unestablished is beyond me. There’s no BCC presence. They split up Christian Cage & Jurassic Express, HFO (even though they sucked) and there’s no CM Punk & FTR. It’s a bit of a joke.

The finals is going to be The Elite vs. The Dark Order with Hangman Page in the DO team. Fucking yawn. Who is even left in the DO these days? John Silver & Preston Vance? The biggest question mark is whether Ospreay & Aussie Open go to the semi-finals and work with Omega. Have Aussie Open won a match in AEW?

If Omega is actually on the outs, it makes no sense to advertise a mystery partner. It makes no sense to do that in a tournament anyway. But it’s possible The Hung Bucks go to the finals against The House of Black, who take out Page’s buddies. Or they’ll get “creative” and put Omega in The Dark Order team. :lol:

[Mr. Nerfect]

Oh, apparently Page has said he’s not going to be in the DO team. So it’ll probably be Omega & The Bucks vs. HOB in the finals. Either that or Omega doesn’t return, they use Brandon Cutler and Andrade El Idolo and his team no one cares about goes against Will Ospreay & Aussie Open to continue to “Bucks are losers for some reason” story.

Got to imagine Lana (CJ Perry) shows up to stop Julia Hart from spraying black mist at Miro at some point.

Would be a great way to make Miro happy, booking his wife to stand next to him while he is relegated to random backstage promos and not getting World Title matches! What a good booker Tiny is LFG!!!!! :rofl:

I wonder how much of the tension between Miro and AEW is because they haven’t signed his wife for $750k a year yet?
