Its hard to suspend disbelief when watching somebody who looks more like one of the fans then a collegiate wrestler or pro football player. There are always exceptions though. I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of Keith Lee. Quote
FMKK Posted October 5, 2019 Author Report Posted October 5, 2019 Also, they cut a cool little angle with Cody attacking Jericho at some convention in New York Quote
joeg Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 Keith Lee has the prototypical size and build of an NFL nosegaurd.... i wish there were more wrestlers who looked like that. Quote

Boss Rock Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 Really digging the build to Cody-Jericho thus far. And when it comes to wrestlers' looks and the expectation of them looking like athletes, I get it but at the same time I look at how Bobby Eaton and Jerry Lawler had the most unimpressive physiques of any wrestlers I've ever seen and that didn't stop them from becoming huge stars.

Mad Dog Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 As far as Sammy Guevara goes. My wife loves him. Bought his shirt and gets excited everytime she sees that panda head coming through the entrance way. Quote
FMKK Posted October 5, 2019 Author Report Posted October 5, 2019 Dark matches are going onto YouTube Quote

Boss Rock Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 Shame they couldn't fit that match on the broadcast. Quote
SirEdger Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 I think that's an awesome idea. I was wondering why they were taping so many matches after Dynamite but now I understand. Do we know if it's on tape delay (meaning that this week's premiere will feature the matches taped last week)? Quote

WingedEagle Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 I really like the overall aesthetic of Dynamite. I don't think its a stretch to say that Dynamite looks and feels like Nitro. The stage and color scheme/lighting in the building seem like a direct callback to that era. Call it familiar, nostalgic or whatever you'd like, but its nice and different from what we're used to seeing from televised wrestling. Quote

One other thing : Tony Schiavone interviewing people right at the entrance. That brings memories of Mean Gene doing the same in front of the Nitro entrance. Quote

I never watched during the Monday Night Wars, but from what I HAVE seen of Nitro, I totally got that feel, all the way down to the intro. Love the aesthetic. Quote

Coffey Posted October 5, 2019 Report Posted October 5, 2019 Does it make me a mark if I pull the trigger on buying an AEW hat off of ProWrestlingTees? $30 is a lot of money for a hat with a velcro clasp... Quote

Yes. Absurd pricing for a hat, and presumably that doesn't even factor in PWT's ridiculous shipping fee, which is the main reason I don't throw money at them. Quote

If you can wait, there's always a Black Friday sale that will knock enough off to cover the shipping. Quote

I wait till sales or stuff is getting cleared out. Plus I think Hot Topic has all their shirts now. Quote

Hmm, we have a Hot Topic in our barren wasteland that is our local mall (that's on its last legs). You think they carry hats too, or just the shirts? Quote
Stiva Posted October 6, 2019 Report Posted October 6, 2019 The dark show idea is great and seems absolutely aimed at the likes of this forum who rue the fact so many cool match-ups were never filmed. Quote

Coffey Posted October 6, 2019 Report Posted October 6, 2019 Thank you all for being so helpful. I might look for an old school NWA hat instead. I don't feel comfortable pulling the trigger on a $30 hat with velcro prior to shipping & handling costs. Quote
