Alucard

Not weekly, Bryan vs Ethan last week was his only match in December. Rather than traditional Good match vs Undercarder type, I was expecting this to be more of a squash which he didn't do any of in the past year (vs Matt Menard in September was his only singles match that went under 10 minutes last year and even that was semi-competitive)

I'm expecting Bryan/Nese to be a 2 minute squash type, with an MJF angle since they're advertising MJF as being "contractually obligated to appear." Most Dynamites are 5 matches, this one has 6 and the last several to have 6 always had one match being 2 minutes or often less. Considering this card has 2 title matches, Starks/Jericho, a women's tag, and AR Fox/Swerve referencing their history

The original inspiration for Full Gear!

Dante Leon in NOAH has been using that move that Sol Ruca used. He tweeted something along the lines of "Now I know how KENTA felt"

From what I've seen since their return, B-Fab at least comes off like a total star, so I hope she does well if nothing else.

Felt like a hotshot way to end Mandy's epic reign on a random episode instead of New Years Evil, but a cool moment nonetheless.

That crowd was loving all things Keith Lee vs. Shane Taylor. Keith's big catch was one of the biggest pops of the night.

Paige did get the official "is All Elite" graphic, so she was signed. After her Double or Nothing debut at the end of May, she was scheduled to have another fight in Bare Knuckle FC in August, so she went in to training for that, but then the fight got postponed to mid-October and ended up cancelled the week prior. Last month she said in an Instagram Q&A that she would "absolutely" be back in AEW but she didn't have any news as to when. Hopefully soon, I thought she showed good potential and her theme music was awesome.

Michael Cole losing his mind over tonight's homage to Milk O Mania was hysterical "This is UTTERLY hilarious!" "He's MILKING this! MILKING the opportunity!" "They're running like COWards!" "It's an UTTER failure!" "this is Legen-DARY on MILKdown!"

indeed. 5 years later TNA did another best of 5 with Roode & Aries vs. The Wolves

Damn good work! I could see Cole for Final Battle as well, but still wishing for an Aries or Low Ki appearance in the 'former roh champs'

They wasted no time on that one, he became All Elite immediately after his first appearance!

Starks/Archer on Rampage tomorrow, winner faces Brian Cage in round 2 on the Full Gear preshow while the tournament final has been moved to next week's Dynamite. Tony said the Full Gear main card is finalized at 10 matches and "will end at a very reasonable time".

and Savage was there too! But it was Hollywood Hogan who really brought "The Rock" out of Rocky Maivia and convinced him to focus on his promos

As long as they deliver the goods, I dig it (and I think Knoxville, Austin , and Logan all did) Speaking of which Logan Paul says he's meeting with officials this week and he's gonna pitch wrestling Cena at Mania.

I'm sad for Candice LeRae if she's not included, considering her entire Raw run was against those on the heel team but now she's disappeared for a month.

Guevara vs Fish lets go!

Tony announced JUN AKIYAMA is coming in next week w/ Konosuke Takeshita vs. Eddie Kingston & Ortiz on Rampage!

A shame, that was actually Eddie's last match on Dynamite too, 3 months ago.

Thought Becky Lynch was absolutely fantastic as Cyndi Lauper, that was great. Popped for them having clips of a re-enactment of the legendary "Goonies R Good Enough" music video Also fitting/timely that part of the plot centered on Rocky working in Saudi Arabia. the brief Bret bit with the drawing was also fantastic.

He is, but since returning from the G1, he was only in a battle royal on Rampage and then spent October doing squashes on Dark. But he'll be back on Rampage this week, in a likely loss against Ricky Starks

Logan tweeted that he tore his meniscus, MCL, and potentially his ACL halfway through the match. damn.

only in SaudiMania, with "we love you" chants

Tony just announced Jarrett is the new AEW Director of Business Development, he's officially All Elite!

THE LAST OUTLAW. and he's got the MY WORLD theme!
