That episode of Dynamite was really fucking great

 

Jericho: WE BRINGIN IN A BOUNTY HUNTER

 

Me: So what goofy nerd is it this time

 

Jericho: *says it*

 

Me: WHOA

 

AEW needs more size, so if they can either pick up or even have guys like Cobb coming through every once in awhile, more the better

[Vic Boss 612]

BRO, THAT DYNAMITE EPISODE

[MT 917]

AEW offered Jeff Cobb a contract that would still allow him to work with NJPW

 

Yes fucking please.

[Blackjak 57]

Jesus fuck what a PPV

[Psycho666Soldier 283]

I thought Cody/MJF was pretty disappointing.  Something felt missing for all the build there was.  Wasn't feeling Dustin/Hager or Nyla/Statlander.  But everything else was rad.

 

Spoiler

I was originally wanting Jericho to win so he could build up an even bigger heel champion legacy, but the match made Moxley's victory felt so deserved.  I'm so proud for the dude.

 

[Vic Boss 612]

Fuckinnnnnng Kenny/Page vs The Bucks

 

And Orange Cassidy

 

Cody/MJF - Things I can come up with to explain it

 

 

 

- The crowd wanted workrate and not mediocre wrestling with gaga. They weren't really getting it up for Jericho vs Moxley either, which was similar stuff.

- Cody is already a mediocre in-ring guy and his broken toe hobbled his performance

- MJF has barely wrestled in AEW, so no one knows his signature moves beyond "trolls Cody by using the Crossrhodes" and "does all the '80s cheating spots." I recall at one point that Excalibur excitedly called for "Salt of the Earth" when MJF grabbed an armbar and no one reacted to it because if he's done it on TV, I don't remember it

- Cody's tattoo

- No Pharaoh

- Lingering effects of Kenny/Page vs The Bucks. They sent Nyla and Statlander out there to die like the were 2000's divas trying to follow that, it didn't help Cody/MJF either (though the counter to this is Orange Cassidy and PAC having a good match)

- Holy shit, Orange Cassidy was Fire Ant from Chikara

- Here's Chuck Taylor singing about Fire Ant

This is the main reason he lost. Pharaoh not being there (probably to avoid backlash of having him out there with pyro and a "rock band") was offset by having The Green Arrow out there.

How did you not know that?!  

 

[Vic Boss 612]

Game recognize game, and I didn't recognize game :(

[MT 917]

Odds on Matt Hardy being the Exalted One?

[Vic Boss 612]

It's the obvious choice, and he may be the only one that can make that goofy bullshit work

Wait, I got it.

 

What if it's

 

Stephen Amell

That's why I think it can't be him. Although he did just announce he's a free agent...

[Vic Boss 612]

Wait, I'm an idiot, it's obviously

 

King Maxel

[MT 917]

Honestly, the person I really want it to be is

 

Dario Cueto

[Vic Boss 612]

Brooooooooooo

[Blackjak 57]

I'm totally on board with that. 

[MT 917]

Using the right one as the background for my second (vertical) monitor

[Psycho666Soldier 283]

I saw that last night.  It's a work of art.

The faction of Pac and the Lucha Bros has a terrible fucking name

Can't wait for The Terror Rhombus to debut. 

 

Jake the fucking Snake though.

[Psycho666Soldier 283]

Spoiler

I do think the trio of Pac and the Lucha Bros is badass and holds a lot of potential.  And I kind of liked the sound of the Spanish version of their name.

 

But yeah, straight of "Death Triangle" is pretty fucking dumb.  Even a little swap like "Triangle of Death" sounds marginally better.

 

[Vic Boss 612]

Apparently the name is reference to one of the wrestlers who trained Penta and Fenix, who was himself part of a trio called Death Triangle/whatever the Spanish version was

[MT 917]

 

Cassidy is awesome. I remember watching him at PWG last year when everyone was out selling their merch and taking pictures. He was in character the ENTIRE time, it was hilarious. 

[MT 917]

So Brodie Lee (Luke Harper) turns out to be the Exalted One, and Matt Hardy is gonna team w/the Elite. I like that better than Matt being the leader of the Dark Order, and it's cool they both got to debut at the same time. Sucks that it was in front of nobody though.

[Vic Boss 612]

I like that they called back to Brodie being in a cult already with Bray Wyatt, with the implication that maybe Brodie is taking what he learned an was applying it himself, but I don't think he's charismatic enough to be a cult leader. Matt would be better in that role

[Vic Boss 612]

Well goddamn, pal

 

That Brodie Lee vignette was him pretending to be Vince

[Psycho666Soldier 283]

I had a good laugh about it once it hit me what was going on.

Lies, he'll be awesome

[Vic Boss 612]

Mark it down, I was wrong, first time in history ;_;

[Vic Boss 612]

I wish DoN was 2 1/2 hours instead of 4 and only the major matches got the big high spots. I was tired by the end of Cody/Lance

 

Probablyyyy shouldn't have done that drowning spot in the Stadium Stampede

[MT 917]

Honestly, while there weren't any bad matches, outside of Stadium Stampede, nothing really stood out to me.

[Psycho666Soldier 283]

Jungle Boy/MJF was a work of art 

[Vic Boss 612]

Great coming out party for both in the ring

 

The poison-rana on the apron should be banned outright though

[MT 917]

Sammy Guevara said he wanted to rape Sasha Banks.

 

So....that happened. 

[Vic Boss 612]

Eh. That was obviously an edgelord joke about how attracted he was to her (he would've been 21/22 at the time?). It's not playing well right now for obvious reasons, but that's a pretty nothing singular incident in the larger scheme of things (unless there's more incidents involving him to show a pattern of behaviour).

 

 

[MT 917]

Fyter Fest night 2 (Bucks/FTR vs BnB/LB specifically)

 

How about that Canadian Destroyer to the outside during FTR/Bucks vs BnB/Lucha Bros? I usually think that move looks ridiculous, but holy shit was that awesome.

[Vic Boss 612]

That 8 man tag was awesome.

 

Jericho vs OC too

[Vic Boss 612]

Holy shit

[Psycho666Soldier 283]

Right?

[Psycho666Soldier 283]

Legit, as I was watching, I had the thought of looking at the player to see how much time was left in the show.  But seeing the way Brodie was dominating, I stopped because I had this feeling.  I didn't actually think the feeling would come true, though.

 

Kudos on them for having all the post-match shenanigans, too, because if I had looked, I would have thought the match would have had at least a solid 5+ minutes left.  Not to mention I absolutely love ballsy booking like that.  I was just as in support when Hiromu beat KUSHIDA in like 3 minutes or however short it was.

 

[Vic Boss 612]

I'm a serial "how much time is left" checker with the DVR, and I think I'd fast-forwarded through a commercial. There was like 11 minutes left including entrances so me and my sister were figuring on a time-limit draw. Bryce hitting the three count (and looking like he didn't know he was going to hit the three count) was so shocking that I had to see the rest play out... and then it kept playing out

 

I loved how they had Arn beat up a few of the nerds too. Like it's supposed to be a cult for losers and dorks so even as an old man he should be able to whip a few of them, and then the Brodie superkick to the gut and putting him down softly to protect his neck IRL, fucking love shit like that

HAPPY MIRO DAY EVERYONE!

[MT 917]

From Jericho's Instagram  

 

 

For anyone that doesn't know, he and Fozzy played the Sturgis rally a few weeks ago, where masks weren't required because they're tough bikers who ain't wearin' no sissy masks! Also, that concert is responsible for 250k+ cases. 

[Garlic Junior 136]

 

 

The entire thread is great.

[Vic Boss 612]

I remember a faction warfare storyline from RoH where Generation Next split up, and Austin Aries formed his own crew and Roderick Strong formed his own crew and Jack Evans was supposed to form his own crew but it took months later and his promo excuse in the middle of the ring was "I'm kinda lazy" so I 100% believe Jack is not helping himself out

[MT 917]

Le Dinner Debonaire spoilers

 

What the actual fuck did I just watch?

 

[Vic Boss 612]

I hate them both so goddamn much

[MT 917]

Some allegations against Cody

 

Nothing serious like he's cheating on Brandi or has child porn or anything like that. Basically he treated someone working for AEW like shit and the guy has no idea why.

[Vic Boss 612]

People been looking at his other tweets and it sounds like he's a creeper who doesn't realize he's a creeper
