AEW Dynamite - 8.12.20 - $7,000 challenge match
 

+ tag team appreciation night

woop woop

should be a fun show

Not sure inviting extra people for tonight's show is a wise idea considering Jericho's recent issues.

TNT title looks wayyyyy better now. I can't wait to see it on TV tonight.

Where is everyone? You'd think this was a RAW thread.

Must be watching Big Brother

Young Bucks vs Dark Order was very good.

The middle part with the giant TNT logo still looks a bit too plain but the rest of the belt looks even better now.

Fun opener.

I think Evil Uno & Stu Grayson are underrated.

I thought Excalibur was supposed to return to the broadcast team tonight?

MJF's campaign chick looks like Ellen Muth from "Dead Like Me".

Seems they recently changed their minds and now he's set to be back later this month.

I see

Good opening match

Think whoever MJF hired to be his pollster might be using some Steiner math to come up with those poll numbers.

Maxwell 4 All

12 year old joker reference

That overhead camera view for this MJF promo is pretty cool.

A heinous attack on MJF by a cowardly Moxley

MJF's neck probably shrank by an inch after that impalier DDT by Moxley.

That's an old school reference!

I loved that segment with MJF. The whole laying on the mat thing. The brawl with Moxley.

Show has been really good so far

Not a good week for doors in wrestling.

First WWE has one of their glass doors broken by a mysterious group and now Scorpio Sky just smashed a door.

Wish they'd have saved this match for a ppv. I think Sky has star potential. Doesn't need to eat a loss on free tv.

haha..right?

You think there's a resemblance?

Cool camera angle for Scorpio Sky

TNT title looking good

TNT belt looks sooooooo much better gold.

Allie so hot...

MIKE CHOIDA

Them getting former WWE ref Mike Chioda for this match is pretty interesting.

Once you said it, yes 100% lol

Great to see Mike Chioda!

lil Bran Bran

I like cocky arrogant Scorpio.

#AEWDynamite trending at numero uno on Twitter

He's one of the few guys that seems to get lost in the shuffle sometimes. Feel like a no contest where he and Cody fight off say Brian Cage after a solid match would help all involved.

rooting for Scorpio Sky

TNT Title does look a lot better

kinda cringey to say Sky could be the first African American TNT champ...there's just been one champion. lol

I'm here.

JR is on his A game tonight and that was a great sequence

your phone sucks and so do the Blackhawks. how you doing?

I was just checking how old Chioda is, and I never knew he was trained by Joey Marella.

The Cody Rhodes AEW figure does not come with the horrible neck tattoo.

TNT title match was pretty good. Ending felt a bit flat though.

The Eddie Kingston match still has been the best one out of Cody's title defenses.

Match was not too great... was fine...

Damn. That was a great match. But man, feel like they wasted Scorpio Sky there in what will end up a throwaway match.

Guess Brodie found which trash can had the old TNT title in it.

Good promo by Brody. They gotta pull the trigger on him. At least of they're serious about him being a big player. Can't have him lose back to back title matches and expect to keep him interesting.

Damn

Was rooting for Scorpio, that match was much shorter than I expected

Is this a PPV? All title matches?

Has Sammy Gueverra killed anyone or attempted to rape any Diva's yet?

Wasted Scorpio there. Tuned in specifically to see this match but knew it was going to be a dud when it was in the first hour. Match didn't live up to its potential and it feels like a let down through and through. Oh well.

:lol: at Luchasaurus' little speech and shout out to his mom to the camera.

Luchasaurus' mom versus Trent's mom. Winner gets a Jurassic Park jeep.

Wish Taz would leave commentary and put Marko Stunt in a Tazmission

Apparently Hangman needs money for a new lawnmower.

Where's the GoFundMe for that?

Think its time the Elite held an intervention for him if he's already blown through all of his AEW money on booze.

Ouch at Hangman's head.

Jungle Boy didn't get enough of a rotation on that spinning DDT.

AEW Tag title match was pretty good.

show sort of 'just there' for me after Cody/Scorpio

Yeah losing steam with the last couple of matches imo

Don't just name drop Murdering Marty!

I don't like babyface FTR

Hoping/expecting there to be a point to this segment... Not interested in the "old timers" stuff...

Ricky Morton has been very dedicated to this hairstyle for 40 years.

:lol: at that weak ass slap by Ricky Morton

That's more like it FTR!

Pretty good

OMFG YES! BAH GAWD RICKY MORTON IS BROKEN IN HALF!

Is Jericho's suit somehow getting more orangey each week?

Jerichocovid-19 trying to bribe Mike Chioda

That was a great tag team appreciation segment. It moved some stories along :)

Oh nice, I've seen a few episodes of NWA Championship Wrestling from Hollywood so I'm familiar w/ "The Killer Bae" Heather Monroe

Boner alert. Shida in the hizzous

That was a pretty submission spot by Shida.

I think now it's heavily leaning towards Spears, FTR, and Hangman with Tully.

TAY JAY FOR THE WIN!!! :D

:lol: at Archer and Roberts.

Thought at first Archer was going to give Roberts a big wedgie.

Lance Archer cyberbullying Jake Roberts

:y: at the Women's Tag Team Cup Finals getting the TV treatment.

Would have been embarrassing had the whole thing been just on Youtube.

AWWWWWWW SHIT $7,000 DREAM MATCH!!

Anna Jay wins the cup for the Dark Order and Brodie beats Cody.

1-0 Debate record lol.

Alright going back outside on my deck. (watching on my phone, can't smoke in the house)

Billy Graham can fuck off

AEW has done a good promoting the Special Dynamite on Sat Aug 22nd

Let's go OC!

Yeah. TNT still needs to hold up their end and promote the special new date during their NBA games and programming.

Next week should be really interesting to see if the theory of both NXT and AEW would be having way higher numbers if they were on separate days holds true or not. An extra 200-300k should be possible for both at most.

:y:

Ending was a bit meh but Jericho vs. Orange was pretty good.

:eek: at TNT throwing AEW a bone with that few seconds of over-run time.

This week's episode was pretty good overall. Not one of their stronger shows in terms of ring action but the talkie and story building stuff was very good,

Lol at the "stacked" pin attempt.

Big win over Jerichovid-19 for the main man OC!

OC managed to overcome the odds better than Cena or Reigns ever did.

OC had to overcome Jericho, Jericho's pal Floyd, Jericho's potential new pal named COVID, Jake Hager's dastardly hug attack, his own pals causing a big distraction at ringside, and his little oranges getting smooshed.

A pretty entertaining show. Time to watch DVR Big Brother

The televised wrestling promotions should really think about what the NBA is doing with fans on big LED screens...maybe take it a step further and do projectors.

Overall a fun ep this week of Dynamite
