goodhelmet Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 It was a fun match but not on par with the summer match. Still pretty great for tv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Jackson Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 I thought Darby vs Cody was great. 2 for 2 with this matchup. Women's match is red hot too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 This is how I like my Britt Baker matches... with her laying on the mat not doing anything for most of the match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Jackson Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 The visual of Riho being squashed through the table by Rose was awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 Agreed. Nice setup for a match down the road. The right person lost. No complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 I feel like Nyla is getting better but I can't really say the same about Britt Baker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiraffejustin Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 Without paying super close attention to the Cody/Darby match, I enjoyed mostly everything I saw in it. I think Darby probably could have sold the leg a little better from the first figure four. I'm happy Arn is doing something, but I'm not sure how I feel about the "head coach" role. I love Darby though, the way he flies into things is brave. I didn't watch the 4-way match after it just started and people were already laying around. I stopped watching the Moxley match, because why was he having such a competitive match with a guy named "Trent"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are already souring on Baker. The best thing she did in the match was lay around and get pinned. I can't get over the fact that I enjoy Moxley so much more than Ambrose.

sek69 Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 JR's eroding skills have been discussed ad nauseam but he still is great at being disgusted by heel tactics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 Enjoyed Sammy vs. Dustin. Didn't enjoy the finish. The MJF promo didn't resonate with me this week. They need to turn off the damn background music during interviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migs Posted January 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 Not sure if the amount of time they keep leaving for main events is intentional or not, but 11 minutes of air time at the start of this match is not great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 I thought this was the best mindless AEW spotfest so far. Maybe it was good vibes from enjoying most of the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laz Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 Very, very good show. Weakest part was the ME, IMO, but everything else kept my attention and ranged from enjoyable to daaaaaaamn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoS Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 Maybe I was watching this with a new year hangover - happy 2020 everyone! - but I thought this was one of the best Dynamite episodes in a long time. Certainly the best since Full Gear. Baker turning heel is clearly the only road forward for her - same with Page. That pop Cody got in his match was insane - unless they fuck it up really badly, Cody-MJF will be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laz Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 Hangman Page poured a glass of Jack at the bar and then sipped a glass of iced tea on commentary. Some of us can tell the difference by sight and I'm not sure what that says. Either way, I actually dug him in a "frustrated middle manager" sense, and I think he'd be far more over if he actually did some cowboy shit instead of just using it for a t-shirt and trying to spam 2006's "indie wrestler starter pack" moveset. Cody/Darby was awesome and an early MOTYC for me. Dustin/Sammy was insanely fun with the right finish, and Sammy's promo in the crowd leading to Jericho's video promo about the car and then sealing it with Sammy using the cue cards to promo during the PIP commercial break was BEAUTIFUL. That is the kind of shit that makes AEW stand out, far more than any flippity-dippity spotfest could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 I also want to say that Jon Moxley is already a contender for wrestler of the year 2020 for Orange Cassidy-ing Orange Cassidy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
