MoS

Wish they had done a slightly better job with the finish but otherwise what a fantastic match

Yeah. I was particularly impressed by how well they did the chain rollups and the usual Eddielenko sequences, which can look really bad in the hands of inferiot workers.

From everything I am reading, it seems like AEW has really outgrown BR

Disgusting apron bump 2 minutes in lol. Darby is a mad man

Well I was not expecting Eddielenko sequences in this match

That Darby video package was incredible

God I hate Matt Hardy so much

Poor Smart Mark Sterling kept the cake in his face for 5 whole seconds and he still couldn't get it smeared over his face. Punk is definitely being more and more dickish as the build goes on.

So, we have discussed this before, but what do we think: can the Hangman coronation be delayed longer? I think, after the kind of promos he has cut, and the video packages made, they can't afford to not pull the trigger now. He has a very loyal fanbase, but even they might not be able to take another heartbreaking loss. I think he has to win now.

That is true. However, trying to sell people to watch a wrestling show at 10 PM on a Friday night with the lure of Orange Cassidy vs. Matt Hardy should be considered an imprisonable offence.

The standard for wrestling promoters and bookers answering questions is so damn low, Khan appears good usually just by comparison. I don't know how he behaves in NFL press conferences though. But I mean our standard-bearer for decades was this person, so our standards are low:

That was a very defensive, arrogant answer by Khan. The reporter later clarified that she was just going to ask if AEW has plans for an all-women's PPV. Interrupting a woman asking question about women's wrestling and not letting her finish by talking about how he feels he doesn't get enough credit for building the women's division - because he paid for his wrestlers doing the NWA show - is a bad look. Like okay? So you paid them, do you want a medal for not being as actively awful as WWE? Thankfully he himself realized he didn't come across good and apologized. I am guessing how defensive and reactionary he can be in interviews versus how nice and professional he usually is, is a function of how much coke he has snorted that day.

I don't disagree, but here Omega was being a dick, and therefore it was easy for Page to play off him. Page is earnest and sincere, basically the opposite of the rest of the Elite, and he needed to be the one to really deliver well for the segment to work, and I thought he did a fabulous job.

And to be fair, while Savage shouldn't have got paranoid like that, that fucker Hogan absolutely did have lust in his eyes!

First of all I rant and moan every week about one thing at least on Dynamite, I take offence to the suggestion that I am a v positive person without having a shred of being a miserable bastard. I had for instance specifically said that while I loved the Hangman spot in the Halloween match, I didn't like the match itself. Second, Hangman isn't Eddie Kingston. He used to do that shit a year back, when he didn't feel confident in himself and had insecurity - incidentally, exactly where Eddie is right now. He has outgrown it, it is character evolution that is crucial to his story. It's the same reason he talked about being brave enough to take time off to be a dad in the middle of the hottest run of his career. It's this calmness that has given him the confidence he didn't have before, something Eddie still lacks. There will come a time when he will snap at someone else, but that's not the correct story here. For what it's worth, Eddie Kingston and Jon Moxley showed pretty much the same amount of melodrama in their feud last year, because the melodrama fit their story too.

Disagree completely. Hangman did fully listen to him and respond by calling out Omega's bullshit, instead of interrupting him by smacking him in the face, because he needed to. He needed to calmly tell the world that Omega's manipulation does not affect him anymore, because he sees through it. He knows that Omega is scared of him, and he wanted to tell the world he knows that. Omega's bullshit isn't going to faze him anymore, because he realizes the bullshit isn't a weapon, it's a crutch. A shield. Also, the best way to get to Omega wasn't to punch him, but to (kind of) mention Ibushi. The gasp from the crowd proved that. I thought it was perfectly done. I definitely find a lot of the melodrama the Elite does to be cringe and complete turn-offs, but I thought this was a great example of excellent pro wrestling melodrama.

That was a home run of a contract signing and final segment. Tremendous episode of Dynamite, best in quite some time. The Hangman era is going to be awesome.

That tag match was just an excellent TV match

When exactly was it coined? The story I remember is that it was coined during the Invasion angle when all WWF heels were getting cheered against the outsiders but not X-Pac. He had been terrible the year before, yeah

On the other hand, every single thing about this Punk-Kingston feud has been pitch perfect

How the fuck is this Hardy-Cassidy feud still going on. Petition to rename the always unfairly named X-Pac heat to Matt Hardy heat.

I mean, I know that when I flirt with a girl, I sure as hell don't call her my fetish lol Wardlow looks so great destroying people

Did...did Max Caster call Jungle Boy his fetish??

Lol has Rebel injured herself again? She gets hurt every time she wrestles

Bryan Danielson will NOT repeat a finisher
