AEW Dynamite - Grand Slam - September 22, 2021

[Strummer]

Again this crowd is incredible. Such infectious energy. Makes everything seem huge

[KawadaSmile]

That might be the best use of the reverse frankensteiner

This was my exact reaction as well

CAVE HIS FACE IN DRAGON

[strobogo]

Not a lot of times where a draw is still satisfying, but that was pretty awesome and no doubt has to be the TV match of the year. 

[KawadaSmile]

Jesus christ don't do headbutts

[Flyin' Brian]

Really good match. Everything I could have asked for besides a Danielson win. 

[Strummer]

Yeah there's the draw. It worked though

[MoS]

Bryan Danielson is the greatest wrestler I have ever seen

[Timbo Slice]

The draw was telegraphed when it went on first, but they went for it anyways. If that’s a mission statement of what’s to come, bring it the fuck on. What a match. 

[KawadaSmile]

Man get this shit outta my tv

They really had no need to do that post match beatdown. Crowd was fucking spent anyways

I thought they worked them well. They were mostly on the arms, unlike the shoot headbutta Bryan did with Dolph at WrestleMania

[Jmare007]

Fastest 30 minutes I've seen, what a match!

[Timbo Slice]

Regarding Kenny’s mannerisms, he realized he was in there with an adult and it showed. Kept to a minimum, but his execution was on point. 

[MoS]

I thought it was the perfect draw and the aftermath was great to establish more heat on Danielson. I don't know how they plan on following the draw, but I am excited 

[KawadaSmile]

I started watching from that buckle bomb onward, basically.

I still got some good things out of the match, but man am I bummed I just couldn't watch the first 3/4 of the match.

They going 60 next time (after Page beats Omega and Kenny doesn't have the burden of the AEW Title anymore)

[C.S.]

Fun match, but it really felt like more of a taste, a teaser, which isn't the worst thing in the world. Didn't feel like 30 minutes (in a good way). 

[Matt D]

Went back and forth with Loss on it.

Maybe the most important thing for me watching wrestling at this stage of my life is immersion and commitment, being present in all aspects of the match. It's what drew me so much in with Bock and why I've spent the last year being so high on Tenryu. It's why I am not at all against you guys with Hansen even though I have my issues with him. And there's just none of that with Omega from what I've seen. Especially if this is him being on the good side. Loss called him a truly post-modern wrestler, always self-aware. He never seems in the moment to me, even when he's selling which is when some of this should drop if it's an act to get heat. I appreciate thought out match layouts and callback spots and earned counters, etc., and full credit for him if he's got that going, but I just can't believe anything about him. The good thing is that I've got so much other stuff to watch that it's not actually going to be an issue for me and I won't rain on your parade in other situations, so no worries there.

[KawadaSmile]

Man this crowd is fucking TIRED. For great reason, of course, but it's a good idea to have CM Punk here.

[Flyin' Brian]

If Cody was going to do a neck tattoo he should’ve got one like Punk. It’s there but not distracting. 

[Strummer]

Well they seem pretty loud for Punk

Everyone appreciates your takes man, you're not raining on any parades. 

(Plus think of this as homework for GWE)

They are, but they don't need to sustain that heat like they did for Omega/Bryan

Totally flew by. What a sick reverse hurricanrana too
