AEW Dynamite 8/18: Chris Jericho vs MJF (The Fifth Labour)
 

MJF needs to go over with a lot of fuckery. People need to be throwing shit by the end of the night.

It's kind of crazy how all these matches that I though were going to be on All Out are happening on TV before the big PPV. I mean shit, what is the card gonna be!? Super curious about what AEW is cooking up. This card tonight looks great, can't wait.

On this week’s Dark Ricky Starks was a guest commentator with Excalibur and Taz and was an absolute delight. Such a natural charisma and charm about him even when you can’t see his handsome face.

I think Excalibur and Taz is probably my favorite announce team right now.

Jordan X reading my thoughts. I thought for sure MJF v Jericho and Starks v Cage would be PPV matches. Jurassic Express getting title shots also seems like a PPV caliber match.

I have zero idea wtf the ppv card is gonna look like now. Maybe Omega v Christian, prob Darby v Punk, maybe a follow up to Moxley calling out Tanahashi, and who knows wtf else.

Very weird that the card for their first ppv in nearly 3 months is only a few weeks away.

Starks has future star written all over him.

I feel like this is meant to be a particularly strong Dynamite card to give people even more reason to tune in Friday for Punk is Rampage.

Anyway this looks like another week where I won't be able to provide my live reaction to the fine people of TPWW. Gonna have to watch late tonight or tomorrow morning on DVR, unfortunately.

Optimistic that it ends up being a killer show, though.

So Jericho is going to come out to Sane tonight, right?

Nah the AEW account tweeted the Judas lyrics and asked fans to sing it tonight

Which like, I hope they’ve figured out how to get the crowd to start in sync. Otherwise it’ll be a mess of people singing different parts of the song at different times

I wonder if we'll get a good Punk tease for Friday tonight

You would think there would be an "official match made" for him for a good lead-in to the actual show.


So yeah..... they definitely should.

Who do you guys think Punk with wrestle at All Out? Matt Hardy? It could be Hardy and a way to give him a big win for his World Championship push.

Probably Darby. I can see a post match promo with Darby tonight calling him out either subtly or just blatantly.

I am pumped for dynamite tonight baybay

IT'S WED NIGHT AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS

AEW 636 tickets shy of a sellout for available seats tonight in Texas with 4,428 tickets sold.

Goddamn Mox and Kingston are cool as fuck.

Crowd feels hot already.

goddamn jezebels!

Damn jezebels 2.0 and Daniel Garcia

Man they must really see something in 2.0 because they are eeeeeeevrrywhere

Damn 2.0 and Garcia are getting that PUSH

Sting looks great WHOOOOOO It's SHOWTIME

I love that AEW takes he talent and immediately lets them sink or swim. So far 2.0 is swimming despite likely jobbing tonight.

I love Sting’s theme so much

Sting looks great

Skeevone is marking out so hard for Sting. I love it.

This is a terrific opening and the crowd is hot

ouch!

Great double team on Darby

having flashbacks to WCW Mayhem video game....first wrestling game that allowed you to go backstage.

Flair should show up in the rafters
