AEW Dynamite is QUARANTINED - 3.18.20
 

The Exalted One will be revealed tonight

Hopefully they show WWE how it's done.

Interested / worried... Hope it's somehow different from what WWE empty arena shows have felt like... (like shit)

I like the blacked out seats set up much better already... WWE's brightly lit empty seats looks like shit...

Worried about the Exalted One thing the most... curious how that's gonna go.......

Good promo from Cody

Someone (probably JR or Schiavone) breathing loudly into the mic...

Opening segment was decent.

They should have stuck with the lights out look for the rest of show since it felt more intimate than what WWE did for RAW and SD at the PC. Now its probably going to feel just as awkward to watch as WWE's shows were.

Kenny’s comment about not even knowing if there will be a Dynamite next week got to me.

They’re doing this show now and plan on continuing but if one person even comes into contact with someone who might have it...that’s probably the end of it until this all passes. Hell, Jacksonville could easily shut it down at any point if that area sees an outbreak.

So I’m just gonna sit back and appreciate being able to watch live wrestling while we can.

:lol: at MJF and Spears setting up an impromptu gambling ring in the audience.

Tazzzzzz

I like that there are wrestlers sitting in the seats... Makes it feel less dumb when they "play to the crowd" and maybe there will be some background noise

AEW using some talent as the crowd

smart.

Apparently this venue is on the shortlist to become a National Guard virus testing location.

Cases are gonna explode in the next week so I’d say there’s a better than 50% chance that this is the last Dynamite that will feature wrestling for a while.

Gambling not legal in florida so..

:lol: at OC falling asleep during the match. Between the banter from the "crowd" and OC, this already feels better than RAW and Smackdown.

WWE and AEW should come together and share the performance Center

WWE should steal the faces and heels watching in the crowd thing. It's already given this show more life than the last 2 WWE shows.

Also having the hard cam face the ramp is critical

This is working much better than the PC so far tbh

Not sure if Trent was trying to go for a 619 spot or a Flying Nothing spot.

Best Friends vs Lucha Bros was very good.

Wonder how much money Spears lost on that Best Friends bet.

Got home and caught the end of Best Friends/Lucha Bros.

I hear some ring side cheering, even if it's some roster guys chilling. That's good.

As opposed to WWE where they're content with having crickets chirping at the P.C.

lmfao, yes it is. Source: Personal experience.

Unbelievable how much better this seems than WWE...

JR just referenced Sting hah

Ouch at Riho's face

Women's 4-way was pretty good despite it sort of ending abruptly.

Riho falling down laughing at Sabian lol

:lol: at that dig Cabana gave towards WWE Creative regarding the Shayna biting Becky moment.

That was great little segment with Colt and Sabian.

...can't go to the bars, Jameson..

Mox still got the Ford GT.

Sweet.

Looks like Bunny stayed home.

Sounds like they're not planning to have a Dynamite next week...

Or at least not Blood & Guts... which is good tbh

I'm really loving this so far

Going to assume someone forgot to measure out the distance for some of the pyro due to the different stage setup.

Jungle Boy almost got nailed by his entrance pyro.

Yeah I can't believe how well they've made this work

This is freakin' great.

The locker room crowd and other stuff is giving this life.

I'd laugh if they just hold next week's show at some random parking lot. They already set up a parking lot street fight match for next week.

Although it probably would go against whatever public gathering ban is in Jacksonville since that technically wouldn't be a closed door show.

Jungle Boy is lucky Butcher managed to hang on to him since the way he was going to tumble out of the ring didn't looked good at all.

Tag match itself was pretty good.

Exalted One might not work with MJF there in the crowd yelling... very curious what they "have up their sleeve"

Past 2 weeks probably have been the easiest paychecks Jake Roberts has ever earned.

Gets paid to chill in the crowd and do basically nothing. Even Lesnar has to put in more effort whenever he shows up on RAW just to stand around.

I figured this would have been last.

They should just go somewhere that doesnt have any sort of ban. I bet they could go to Montana or something

Looks like Matt Hardy's build.

Nope.

Harper's in the house.

:D Brodie Lee/Luke Harper

BRODIE FUCKING LEE!!!

God damn I’m so sad this could’ve happened in his hometown.

Looks like the same body type as Luke Harper

NICE

You know what that means

oh cool...

(stream is 1 min behind)

YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!

Dig at Vince. hahhahaha Nice nice nice.

That coat looks great on Lee.

Covered up his bald spot

It's a shame this couldn't be in front of a crowd...

Was supposed to happen in his hometown.

Really unfortunate. Fuck.

Still psyched though. Brodie is the tits.

Did a good job of making Christopher Daniels annoying and obnoxious and making U happy when he gets fucked up

That was really good

Brodie Lee going to get way more spotlight in AEW

Wonder what Matt Hardy is going to do in AEW now that he's not the Exalted One assuming he wasn't dumb enough to actually sign a new deal with WWE after complaining about his creative issues there.

You see the look on Tye's face?? Thinking "damn another WWE guy, I'm never gonna get a push :'(" .

EVERYBODY DIES!

Soon...

hornswaggle !

Hornswoggle

Who's the woman/ring girl?

Looks familiar

I really have a feeling that even with the past bad blood, if Impact continues to let him own his creations that he is going to end up there.

Also they have the location for next week lol

That Archer vignette was pretty cool.

AEW has done a way better job handling a no crowd style show than WWE has this past week.

Lol that wasn't Hornswoggle.

I hope Archer got the theme music from NJPW.

"Next Dynamite"

Not next week

i know. was it Wee Man?

That Archer segment was ace.

It honestly helps that the hard camera is focused on the entrance/stage and not the empty crowd

Lol at that shirt

:rofl:

:lol: at Sammy singing the Judas theme.

Bwa hahaha fucking Guevara singing.

Coach Arn needs to go away.

The fact that they keep saying “next Dynamite” instead of “next week’s Dynamite” is a pretty clear indicator they’re not confident on being able to run next week.

Let us all take a moment of silence that Big Dick Nick Foles won't be making a celebrity appearance at Double or Nothing.

I love Arn in a managerial/mouthpiece role but Cody doesn't need him.

:lol: at Hangman Page's entrance name plate

Hangman "Handswash" Page

Adam "Handswash" Page.

:lol:

Could we still get Matt Hardy making an appearance? It'd make sense to go out with a bang if there is indeed a hiatus for the product.

Sammy's shirt isn't available but they have 2 Brodie Lee shirts already

?

This really going 30 minutes?

Let's go then.

Was poking around Pro Wrestling Tees and they got it there.

All purchases go to charity.

It'd be poetic justice if AEW does great in the ratings.

Maybe next week since the last "Free the Delete" video is this week I think.

Then again between his and WWE's recent teaser tweets, wouldn't be surprised if he decided to resign with WWE. WWE can easily throw stack after stack of cash to get him to quickly forget about any creative direction issues.

Bought, thanks for pointing it out

:yes:

Considering the circumstances, this has been a brilliant episode.

And after such a depressing week of nothing, this was so badly needed.

Where security?!

Fans can't assault wrestlers!

That count was a little on the fast side.

Inner Circle vs. The Elite was very good.

Has a face team ever won the advantage match going into a War Games match?

:lol: at Jericho banning the fans from future shows. Pretty good way to get around not having fans for shows due to the bans going around.

Here it comes?????
