AEW Dynamite - 4/5/23

[Evil Vito]

SWITCHBLADE!!!

[ClockShot]

Nice.

[Sepholio]

lol who goes to catering to make room for Jay?

[xrodmuc316]

LOL an even smaller Adam Cole and more TV time for CJ Parker...are we sure Vince isn't booking Dynamite too?

[Evil Vito]

Tony having a big surprise within 2 minutes of the broadcast after the post-Mania Raw didn’t have any is just great lol

[Evil Vito]

SUUUUUUE!

[xrodmuc316]

another return to AEW, freakin Sue!

[slik]

Jay White is a great signing, I thought he would end up in WWE/NXT - he reminds me of a young Seth Rollins.

LOVE that #firevince is still trending lol

[Evil Vito]

Fun trios match

[Evil Vito]

Riho! Somewhere, Cornette just punched his wall.

[xrodmuc316]

Wait, how is Tiny gonna book Riho to run out and stop The Outsiders if she is already in the ring?

[Triple A]

Finally home.........

[rez]

Pretty good show so far

[weather vane]

AEW fucks.

[Triple A]

Everyone's skin color seems bizarre and unnatural when standing next to Paige

[slik]

Finally home.........

tony khan's big announcement was a new title, the duelbrand championship that can be defended on both roh and aew tv

[slik]

How did this Acclaimed/JAS story start??

[Triple A]

How did this Acclaimed/JAS story start??

I don't know...

[Triple A]

“This is something I’ve dreamed of for years,” says Khan. “It’s a huge milestone for AEW, and I can’t wait to talk about it. There will be fans around the world who will be excited—it is one of the most important announcements ever in AEW.”

smh really hope it's not just AEW doing a show in the UK or something... smh

[slik]

lol @ guy yelling 'it never rains in long island'

[ron the dial]

lol MJF the lounge singer

[weather vane]

MJF good.

[Evil Vito]

Hayter/Riho ruled, really hard hitting

[ron the dial]

sax dude fucking dropped the ball...

[Evil Vito]

There’s YouTube footage of MJF singing in his high school a capella group a decade ago. Wonder if he ever really thought he’d be singing in a packed arena in his hometown.

[Evil Vito]

Saladino with legit heel heat

[Triple A]

lol love this

[slik]

MJF the Hulk Hogan of Long Island

[Evil Vito]

This first hour has been AMAZING

[Triple A]

wtf @ guy in the crowd loudly shouting into a mic somewhere

[slik]

A.D.D.

A.D.D.

A.D.D.

[Evil Vito]

Fuck you Mrs. Benedict!

[Triple A]

booooooo @ Jungle Boy

[ron the dial]

wtf @ guy in the crowd loudly shouting into a mic somewhere

i hate him so mucb

[DaveWadding]

Jay White bores me to death, donut see what everyone else sees

[Sepholio]

hate when annoying fans do that. There was one on RAW too loudly booing into a mic for a bit.

[Sepholio]

Jay White bores me to death, donut see what everyone else sees

He's good but I was hoping he'd go to WWE because I feel like they could make room for him easier. Less people, more TV time, basically. Mind you it was rumored that Lesnar was leaving, Roman was going on hiatus, Edge just about done, Orton/Big E still out, Drew maybe leaving, Riddle wasn't back....lot of spots he could have been used to fill in there.

Now I'm wondering who disappears on AEW TV to make room for him, or how long it will be til he's curtain jerking Dark and only shows up on TV once every 3-4 months.

[slik]

here comes peter cotton tail

[Triple A]

here comes peter cottontail...

[Mr. Nerfect]

AEW sucks.

[ron the dial]

AEW sucks.

:eek::eek::eek:

[slik]

lol @ rtd

[slik]

sammy annoying

[Triple A]

Crowd sounds muted or something... or Guevara is barely getting a reaction

[ron the dial]

it's funny how Sammy has improved on the mic and is still terrible

[Sepholio]

it's funny how Sammy has improved on the mic and is still terrible

lol fair and accurate assessment.

[Evil Vito]

Khan probably not happy that Sammy dropped 3 shits in a single promo.

[slik]

[Evil Vito]

This is the problem with the Four Pillars feud, MJF has lapped all of them already. Darby is the closest to being a legit contender, but he’s still not on the same level. Jungle Boy has the personality of a wet paper towel and got to tread water for months thanks to TK’s inability to cut feuds short, and Sammy has X-Pac heat as soon as he opens his mouth.

[weather vane]

CODY RHODES

[weather vane]

LONDON ALL IN

[weather vane]

ONTARIO

[Triple A]

smh

[xrodmuc316]

LOL All In, that is the announcement

[weather vane]

WEMBLEY

[ron the dial]

lol TK is such a weird little dweeb

[weather vane]

That is wild. Place is yuge.

[Evil Vito]

Jesus, didn’t think they’d actually do Wembley. That’s pretty huge.

[Triple A]

cool @ Wembley Stadium I guess

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Oh shit. I thought they’d do Craven Cottage. Wembley is massive.

[ron the dial]

pretty sick they are running wembley

[slik]

I always assumed Jacksonville would be AEW's first stadium show but that is really cool, should sell really well in Wembley

[xrodmuc316]

How many of the 90,000 seats will they sell to consider it a sellout? 25,000? 30,000?

[weather vane]

Who headlines that show? British Bulldogs vs Big Daddy/Giant Haystacks?

[weather vane]

Earl Robert?

[Evil Vito]

I thought the notion of the UK being the announcement would be pretty lame when it was hyped as something “fans all over the world would be excited about”

But Wembley qualifies for that. I never thought they were gonna book THAT big of a venue.

[ron the dial]

what's the largest attendance an AEW show has had? ~20,000?

[Triple A]

Good @ giving Danielson mic time and not just have him standing around doing nothing for months

[ron the dial]

heel danielson is the best danielson

[ron the dial]

IN FACT THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT LOVE IS

[slik]

UK ratings must be huge to run Wembley

[xrodmuc316]

That will draw ratings, stabbing somebody with a screwdriver...

[Triple A]

I wish Don Callis didn't bust his head open... miss him

[Triple A]

So uhh, did the Dark Order tell Hangman to go fuck himself?

[Triple A]

cool forgot this match was on tonight

[ron the dial]

So uhh, did the Dark Order tell Hangman to go fuck himself?

if so it's about time

[xrodmuc316]

LOL how much money did Tiny waste getting a 50 Cent song for the Assboys?

[Frank Drebin]

Decided to watch live for the first time in a while. Catching up.....

Really hope the big surprise wasn't a Jay White debut. Might have been better if he hadn't wrestled multiple matches for the company in the past year.

[Frank Drebin]

Orange Cassidy and Best Friends still doing the same shit they've been doing for the last 3 years. Great at least House of Black will murder them.

[Frank Drebin]

God Rico sucks. Also exact same as 2019. Can't even hear her 80 pounds hitting the canvas. Christ.

Why are Baker and Harter faces?

[Evil Vito]

Ass Boys getting 50 Cent and their best HBK gear is awesome

[Frank Drebin]

Love Hayter. Seems to "get it"

Ex WWE chicks are "Outcasts" and heels. Why are they heels now?

[Triple A]

Love Hayter. Seems to "get it"

Ex WWE chicks are "Outcasts" and heels. Why are they heels now?

Fans didn't like Saraya so they turned her heel, then Storm and Ruby joined her and they are doing an ex-WWE women vs. "home grown" thing...

Hayter and Baker just kept getting cheered and are feuding with the heel stable, so they're de facto faces

[Frank Drebin]

MJF on the money as always. Fn great segment. One of the only guarantees AEW has.

[Evil Vito]

FTR are still All Elite!

[Frank Drebin]

Flippy shit match. Fun for a one off. Circus act.

Sammy talking and talking. Saying "shit" alot. Sammy is a pillar of AEW?

Can't wait for this announcement.

[slik]

That was a fun match - FTR giving Gunn Club their best match in AEW

[Frank Drebin]

Ethan Page way better than jobber who gets to cut a promo once in a while.

Hook has been used well. Is that a shitty new tat in the middle of his chest?

[Frank Drebin]

Announcement is a show in London. Who gives a shit. This is going to be like a WWE Saudi show.

[erickman]

i love aew divas show these women are catty

[erickman]

FTR are still All Elite!

yeah they saw vince is back

[Frank Drebin]

Ugh. Moxley and Yuta match. Boring shit. Why does anyone care about Yuta. Bland as it gets.

So far the show has been exactly what I was seeing after All Out. MJF and not alot else.

[Frank Drebin]

Bring back Punk.

[Evil Vito]

Great Dyno. Lot of stuff I’m interested in right now, and the hot crowd helped.

[Frank Drebin]

Great Dyno. Lot of stuff I’m interested in right now, and the hot crowd helped.

Gonna watch this main event but I just don't see it, dude.

[xrodmuc316]

Nothing interesting happened. A guy who has already been on AEW, is now on AEW. Vince came back so FTR is staying. Tiny announced AEW is adding another PPV in England. Nothing shocking or even compelling whatsoever.

[xrodmuc316]

OMG Tay has to have the worst accent in the history of the world.

[Triple A]

Tay very hot

[#1-norm-fan]

About fucking time FTR won the titles.

Now keep them on them forever.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I’d laugh if FTR are still on their way out and Tony is just putting the belts on them like he did Cody.

Wembley Stadium seems ambitious.

[XL]

AEW cementing themselves as the dominant brand in sports entertainment once again. 90.000 rabid fans in London’s Wembley Stadium! Meanwhile the return of Vince has WWE’s biggest stars ready to walk!

[Evil Vito]

Gonna watch this main event but I just don't see it, dude.

[XL]

Odds on a “bomb threat” meaning they have to move to Craven Cottage?

[Evil Vito]

Tay very hot

Ya seriously.

All Access is as scripted as anything but it's kinda funny to hear Tay being unhappy about the lack of singles matches and this was from last Octiober/November. She's done very little of substance since then.

I remember when she was face they got me to buy in to her as a legit title threat. But yeah, she's never gonna get cheered again so long as she's with Sammy and his punchable face.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Odds on a “bomb threat” meaning they have to move to Craven Cottage?

A bot threat.

[Sting Fan]

MJF segment was good but I still want to see him wrestle more. Everytime Riho comes out I scoff due to her size and by mid match I'm all in on the match. Her and Hayter were a great pairing.

Time to pull the trigger on Hangman joins the Elite, I think there playing for time with one of the Bucks injured but could have sent Kenny out to get a beating as well to speed it along. I forgot how good heel AD is on the mic, he made that segment.

I love the Best friends, HOB continue to be monsters, Hook is enjoyable.

The FTR thing fell flat with me but I watched on a delay and had the finish spoiled which took me out of it I think. I Love the way they have played the IWC over this, thats a nice touch and I'm sure all the people screaming they want believable storylines will hat being worked.

Overall another solid AEW show IMO.

[Sting Fan]

Oh but criticism, they have to do more with Battle of the belts. Im glad it got plugged on the show etc but I had no idea it was coming, doesnt feel like anything culminates there.

If MJF is an attraction lets get him into a mini feud and defending on the show even if it feels like a no brainer hes winning. Have someone from the mid to undercard be a thorn in his side and he decides to make an "easy defence", mid card face takes him for a bit of a ride before MJF takes them and out and voila someone gets a rub.

Let your arrogant heel champs arrogance give someone else a bit of shine. I would love to see Trent Baretta in that spot for example.
