AEW Dynamite February 26

[sek69]

This Iron Man match has been pretty solid so far. Another great start to a show.

[MoS]

The sudden death thing was not really necessary, but it was a solid match. 

Taz is always so glad to be there. It feels awesome.

Total heel move by Orange Cassidy, interrupting someone's interview like that

[MoS]

They have really made Darby a big star. Hoping he finally gets a big victory at this PPV.

[sek69]

Orange is great. The old farts can complain all they want,  if the crowd chants "he will try" then it works.

[sek69]

Time for PWO combined into one wrestler, SHANNA!

[MoS]

This match should have ended 5 minutes ago

[MoS]

Wow, no Cody and MJF for the go-home show?

[MoS]

I absolutely love heel world champ Jericho. 

[MoS]

I loved the weigh-ins and all the brawling. Still think MJF and Cody should have been on the show to cut fresh promos. 

I liked the sit-down interview with Page/Omega and the Bucks. I was totally rooting for Page though; he was right in what he was saying.

Man that was such a Mid-South ending, everyone brawling everywhere while JR is losing his mind, it could have been the Irish McNeil Boy's Club in 1984.

Yuka Sakazaki seems to be getting more over with the crowd. I think I like her a lot.

Tony Khan grew up watching Mid-South, right? I am glad  he has taken more control over the booking.

Jericho doing the Gracie train is the reason that I don't care if I hate most AEW matches, they are better than WWE.

I don't think he grew up on it considering he was raised in Illinois (and born in 1982), but I'd wager he traded for more than a few tapes of it in his day. 

It really gets undersold how big a fan he was growing up, he was deep in it back in the early days of the interwebs like a lot of us were back then.  His dad's mentioned it more than once how it even impressed him how much Tony followed the business and how when he approached him to start AEW he knew he could make it work.

[Strummer]

You have to give Khan credit here. He listened to the criticism of the show's around the holidays and since the new year almost everything is working

Tony is the best

[MaseMan]

Awesome Wednesday night. I loved the Iron Man match (and to be honest, I've been kind of down on Kenny Omega's ring work lately, but it worked on Dynamite). The sit down with the Elite was also perfect, and made me actually want to see the match even more now.

The tag team division is almost too loaded right now. I really think they should examine creating a Trios Title for some of the groups like Jurassic Express, SCU, etc to fight over. 

The women's division has too many workers just kind of "there." Need to get some new feuds going, or something. Create some solid alliances between a couple of them, as well.

I agree it was sort of weird that Cody and MJF were nonexistent on this show...but to be honest, if the whipping angle and cage match didn't get people salivating for this match, nothing would.

Are you suggesting a...collective of some kind?

Really dug the thirty minute iron-man, but the no selling just gets so tiring. Really bottomed out on that about halfway through with Pac kicking out of some crazy move only to immediately roll out and run around the ring looking for a chair.

No to any more "collectives!" 

However, a couple solid tag teams would maybe be nice?

This. For someone like me, who does not care a bit about the more is less (or whatever) style that is currently predominant in US mainstream wrestling, the perfect way to watch AEW is to jump from angle/interview segment to angle/interview segment and skip the matches, except if it has someone in it who still takes at least a bit of time (like one of the Runnels boys or Jericho).
