Is the Logan Paul match a title match?

I mean, it was preplanned in the sense that he sat in that press conference knowing he was going to ask Nick Hausman and ask him about Scott Colton. Shit, when Hausman told him that he wasn't close with Cabana and they hadn't been for a long time, Punk told him "you blew my spot". To me this whole thing is about The Elite behaving like children all the time and they crossed paths with someone that can behave like a child too, but in a different way. Page's line about Cabana than no one but Punk and like 50 people knew what it was about seemed to me that it was Page trying to get under Punk's skin but not in a way he ended up doing. Like sek said, it's about taking a slight jab and not figuring that the other person might just take it like a sign that the war is on.

That's two different meetings. The first one was 10 days before All Out were Tony talked about the new people in charge of talents relations and there was stuff like this Who knows what was the exact wording used by Omega but him being tough on the locker room was reported so we can't act like it's out of nowhere. The meeting that had supposedly everyone happy was the one before last week's Dynamite that was called by Jericho, Danielson and Mox. The fact there hasn't been any details about that one tells us that it was probably a successful one (Jericho complained at the All Out scrum that details of locker room meetings shouldn't be getting leaked). It was still funny reading Dave talking about "one person said it was the best meeting they've ever been a part of" because it read like Jericho was the one that told him that

The most shocking thing to me is how the Stokely segment didn't lose any viewers. I thought the whole thing was fine but it died a death with the live crowd and it certainly felt like it could've been better served as a video package instead of an in ring promo. I guess people really liked last week's show and the tournament is somehow creating legit intrigue?

I believe he said Mox had an angle ready for when he returned from vacation -which had to be scrapped-, not that there was going to be an angle to make him go on hiatus (and take his vacation). At least that was on WOR.

Much better than the PPV match, loved how they worked the leg injury for the final stretch. Now Mox has a target and Dragon an "out" to lose next week. I hope the tag title match closes next week though, that crowd is gonna be salivating for an Acclaimed W.

It's one thing to be tame but they've been dead for most of this show. Even the tag match had crickets for moments (specially after the commercial break, I'm watching the FITE feed) and Penta had to land a damn Canadian Destroyer on Keith Lee for them to show real life. The Acclaimed got a mild reaction compared to the last couple of weeks.

I think this is the worst crowd I've seen in the year I've been watching Dynamite.

Wait this is for the belts and got ZERO build/hype???

Man, this crowd SUCKS. Did Hobbs botched a busted lip or was it a weird coincidence?

Page kicking the indy pizza guy was the highlight of this first hour.

This should've been a 5 minute video package but oh well, the crowd better start getting use to it.

Well, Mox sure as hell is winning next week.

This was a quick commercial break. Maybe the main event is going long and I'm not sure that's a good idea after watching what happened at the PPV.

One of the most underrated parts of the post All Out media scrum was Jericho talking about MJF. How they were texting back and forth after Max's last promo before he was gone for months, with Jericho telling him he was going to become a huge babyface and MJF telling him he didn't want that because he didn't even know how to be a big face, lol. Jericho told him that it wasn't that hard and he could teach him how to do a babyface comeback in the ring and that was basically it

Page is a former world champion that had Danielson's number and did not cut an embarrassing promo like Sammy did.

I hope Sammy gets squashed in 5 minutes and Mox doesn't let him do 1 single flippy move.

Oh man that would be terrible on some many levels.

I'd love a Darby run to be honest but he needs a couple of feuds to get his heat back. Jungle Boy is gonna have a hard test with the coming program with Luchasaurus. I'm more worried about Starks though, it's clear the crowd wants to see him succeed in a bigger role but it doesn't seem Tony wants to give it to him.

I get that but at the same time, after the legit huge deal that was his comeback for the company, Punk's effect on a lot of metrics isn't THAT big to have Tony by the balls. Only thing we don't know about is merchandise, and maybe Punk was doing incredibly big numbers compared to the rest of roster (we will never known unless someone from AEW tells us). But anything else I see is an increase with Punk doesn't seem to be the kind of bump that couldn't be replaced by any other star AEW has if the company had legit good booking for a 4 month stretch. Which is something AEW has been lacking for close none months now. I mean, All Out was so badly booked that it basically relied entirely on Punk being from Chicago and it did not do good numbers so he's not THAT big of a draw/deal either.

I'm of the thought both sides of the melee were unprofessional, both were wrong and both deserve to get shitted on by the fanbase for being morons and hurting the company. Any argument trying to defend either side makes very little sense to me at this point.

I expect Cody to get the same build up to his return as HHH got in 2002 so my guess is that he's gonna be massively over to the point of making the decision of him pinning Roman a very easy one. I kinda hope he gets a new finisher instead of the cross rhodes though (or a pedigree, lol).

I meant to write *not to* cash in at Full Gear. I feel the MJF title match (and win) should be built upon and not get thrown together in 4 weeks against an impromptu tournament winner. Let that shit build some tension, and I think Danielson (specially with a 6-9 month reign) is perfect for that role.

Yeah, Darby/Mox is way more interesting and could have some real heat. Sammy is there to continue to push this neverending JAS/BCC feud and have a heel, bleh. They should give the strap to Danielson and come up with a reason for MJF not to "cash in" his title shot at Full Gear. Just build the tension between those two while Dragon starts collection dope title defenses that give the belt back it's must have status. Have MJF vs Danielson at Revolution or even Double or Nothing and then put MJF over and let him run with the ball. But that's never going to happen. Mox will win and then drop the strap to Max in November (so Mox can get his vacation) or the first Dynamite of 2023.
