AEW Dynamite - December 16, 2020

[MoS]

Will Dynamite continue its momentum, or will people get tired of Sting and Omega-Callis fucking around

[sek69]

I wonder if the Good Brothers will show up with Kenny tonight. 

[SirEdger]

I wonder if they're gonna keep the Good Brothers appearance for the last Dynamite of the year on December 30th. They'd probably like to leave a better impression for the last Dynamite than the one they did last year when Dark Order wasn't exactly what it is at the moment.

[sek69]

Wardlow is off the show due to family issues, so the mega tag match is now a 12 man instead of a 14 man (Brandon Cutler was taken off the other team). 

[MoS]

Okay, I know Matt Hardy is a legend, but I hate how prominently he has been pushed, and I don't care how many people he puts over *Eventually*, I still think featuring him this prominently is a mistake. 

On the other hand, their slow build of MJF v. Jericho has been perfect so far. That's an absolute goldmine of an angle. I hope they keep on this path.

[sek69]

Well hey,  congrats to Cody and Brandi.

[MoS]

Yeah congrats to Cody and Brandi

I am sure Sting fans are loving his return, but his segments have left me stone cold...cold for me. He's an almost-been who nearly was a star for a year, and who has basically done nothing since then

 

 

 

[MoS]

Lol Kingston cut such a great promo, he got PAC to be cheered like crazy as if he is a returning hero. If no one else, at least @C.S. will agree with me about how that shows just what an absolute epic promo Kingston is. An absolute King. So glad to see him in action

[Log]

I love that AEW realizes that they should have Kingston talk every week. They make sure he has a promo or is on commentary or something where he’s got a mic in front of him. 

[sek69]

Griff Garrison looks so much like Chris Jericho circa 1993 I half expect to find out he's secretly his son. 

[sek69]

Rosa/Britt = money

[MoS]

That was a great promo by Rosa. However - and genuinely no disrespect to Rosa - Britt remains the only legit star in the AEW's women's division. I hope we have Dr. Baker, our heel world champion soon. That belt needs her. She's genuinely the best thing in the women's division rn

 

[sek69]

Rap Battle Kaz is not a thing I was expecting to ever see on my TV. 2020 contains multitudes. 

[MoS]

These two rookies are terrible. Forget about being John Cena circa 2002, they are worse than Bull Buchanan 2002. That rap would have been out of place and cringey in 2002; it was embarrassing in 2020

[sek69]

As part of the whole working agreement, Moose should come out and confront Big Swole for jacking the cadence of his theme song for hers.

[MoS]

Always love to see Serena and even Ivelisse, who, whatever you might say about her, is a precocious wrestling talent. Big Swole looks so out of place here. I would get it if it was just a lack of wrestling ability. But she is neither big nor particularly swole so I really don't know what her appeal is supposed to be lol

[sek69]

If either AEW or Impact books a Don Callis vs Tony match they have my money.

[sek69]

I suppose if nothing else, an Omega-Janela main event might be what finally pushes Cornette over the edge to finally having a stroke.

[sek69]

Omega vs Rey Fenix? Don't mind if I do.

My 3-year-old son says, “Oh, that mask guy is definitely going to be champion.”

[MoS]

I definitely feel this was a very underwhelming episode of AEW. I get that this booking has led to a lot of interest in the last couple of weeks, but I think the last couple Dynamites have been really underwhelming and have either not led to any cognisant eventual result, or are just prolonging a story - with rather boring characters - that doesn't interest me

Haven't watched the show yet, but I am firmly on the Eddie Kingston train. Not using him properly really exposed that the NWA didn't always necessarily have its finger on the pulse (as much fun as I had watching Powerrr for a while).

[SirEdger]

Good grief, I don't see the buzz about The Acclaimed. I just can't.

If you're to give a title shot to a newcomer team, give it to Top Flight instead.

[Tim Evans]

Between Private Party, Top Flight and now the acclaimed, there are a lot of young tag teams that really aren't ready for Dynamite yet. Top Flight has potential but man the acclaimed are bad just based on the last two weeks. Maybe they are better on Dark.

How did Janela get a title shot? And why was it no dq? Omega tried but I almost would have rather seen Omega vs Sonny Kiss. Omega/Fenix sounds good. I do miss Moxley though.

[jiraffejustin]

Kingston setting up a program with God. I don't know that we really need to see another non-wrestler angle in AEW right now with what's going on with Shaq.
