We need something to get excited about the show. Cold as Ice, Foreigner style. I have a two monitor set-up for video watching. One monitor, the main monitor, is bigger than the other. On Wednesday nights, I usually have NXT on the smaller monitor & muted (mostly because I can't stand Mauro). Tonight though, I'll have NXT on the big screen, unmuted with AEW playing second fiddle. Mostly because AEW has felt like it's coasted since the first week & NXT feels like they're trying to get people interested. Dynamite has been on for a month now & although I did love the debut episode, outside crowning tag champs. (which I don't really care about) & the Cody/Jericho segment, it hasn't felt like must-see TV. The biggest thing AEW has done so far is Moxley showing up & that was at a PPV before they were on TNT. Jake Hager ain't it. They need big moments to get people talking again. I feel like the interest is waning & it's too early for that already... Quote
SirEdger Posted November 7, 2019 Report Posted November 7, 2019 I'm a bit surprised they're going ahead with Riho vs Emi Sakura for Full Gear. I thought they'd be going for Riho vs Hikaru Shida instead. I guess this confirms that Riho retains at Full Gear. Quote

There hasn't really been enough on the TV to tell me why they want to kill each other so much. Quote

There hasn't really been enough on the TV to tell me why they want to kill each other so much. Agreed. I am loving Dynamite so far, but I hope they give more promo time to wrestlers. In the ring so they can interact with the crowd, and Tony can obviously steer them through the promos and also plug their PPV. I was not around, but for those who started following wrestling on the internet in the mid-90s, has there ever been a time since the mid-90s when wrestling has felt as cold as it is now? WWE is in excellent financial shape, but I barely know anyone who follows wrestling anymore, and I live in India which is the 3rd biggest market for WWE after the USA and the UK. Quote
C.S. Posted November 7, 2019 Report Posted November 7, 2019 Yeah, as much as I like Dynamite, I have zero desire to watch the PPV. I'd be more excited to watch the NXT PPV (if I still had a Network subscription). Quote
FMKK Posted November 7, 2019 Report Posted November 7, 2019 I'm still excited for the PPV and have enjoyed all the Dynamite shows so far. It's clear though that last week's was more of a misfire than it seemed at the time because enthusiasm is clearly down. Quote
C.S. Posted November 7, 2019 Report Posted November 7, 2019 AEW is starting with PAC. Good way to get me to switch to NXT, which I just did. Quote

goodhelmet Posted November 7, 2019 Report Posted November 7, 2019 I didn't know I needed a PAC vs. Trent Beretta match until it happened. Really enjoyed the match until the finish. I liked PAC delivering the brainbuster on the floor... but it didn't end the match. Brent should have been DOA at that point with his friends scraping him off the floor. Oh well. Quote

Yeah, really don't know what the fuck they were thinking with that! PAC is the geekiest geek in all of geekdom. Even Seth Rollins is more tolerable. Quote
goodhelmet Posted November 7, 2019 Report Posted November 7, 2019 Bullshit... Seth Rollins is not more tolerable than PAC. Quote
MoS Posted November 7, 2019 Author Report Posted November 7, 2019 It was a good match and PAC looked good. Perhaps a bit too long though. His very short nasty promos are the best way to use him on the mic. Quote

MoS Posted November 7, 2019 Author Report Posted November 7, 2019 I know I sound a broken record but it really is incredible how over Cody is. 7 years ago the most hallucinogenic drugs would not have made me think he could be in this over. Quote
C.S. Posted November 7, 2019 Report Posted November 7, 2019 Cody is fucking fire on the mic. We saw zero evidence of this in WWE. Quote
sek69 Posted November 7, 2019 Report Posted November 7, 2019 Jesus Christ, just give Cody all the belts. That was like Dusty just embodied his soul during that promo. Quote
MoS Posted November 7, 2019 Author Report Posted November 7, 2019 Wow that was an incredible promo. He has to win after that right. Even if it's for a typical Dusty-like short reign, they have to pull the trigger after this. Quote
Coffey Posted November 7, 2019 Report Posted November 7, 2019 It’s crazy how good Cody has become. He used to be bland as bland can be. Now he exudes confidence & star power. Quote
SmartMark15 Posted November 7, 2019 Report Posted November 7, 2019 What a promo, oh my god. Genuine passion that you can't help but root for. Quote
C.S. Posted November 7, 2019 Report Posted November 7, 2019 It cannot be overstated how bad the Dark Order gimmick is! Quote
MoS Posted November 7, 2019 Author Report Posted November 7, 2019 I really wish the Dark Order gimmick would die, but I guess them being jobbers in the tag team division is not that bad. Quote

sek69 Posted November 7, 2019 Report Posted November 7, 2019 The gimmick sucks, but having a good working team that everyone else can beat isn't the worst thing. Quote
