Jmare007 Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Never crossed my mind (until now) that we are a couple of booking decisions away from a Punk vs Joe title match. Sure, it doesn't look like Joe will win the tourney but a big match vs Punk would be an interesting main event for one of those special Dynamites.

Phil Schneider Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 I would be shocked if we don't get a Punk vs. Joe match at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so, looks like Joe got pissed at Johnny elbowing him directly in the face to open the match as he was going for a tie up. Then Joe gave him a receipt, and they spent the rest of the match going back and forth with each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Whatever happened, it was a clunky mismatch from the start. Slow Mo Joe vs. Johnny "Should've Been Called Dynamite" Elite was a clash of styles, to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strobogo Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 I thought it was pretty good and probably more entertaining going the way it did as opposed to a normal match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn’t even thought of that, but you are right Johnny Dynamite would’ve been a much better name. Oh and Joe’s still got it, dammit. He has looked a lot better in AEW that he did the last time I saw him in NXT. He is hardly in his prime anymore but I think he can still go if given the chance.

Jmare007 Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 I'm so refreshing watching Takeshita outside of DDT. I was begging him to take a meaningful overseas tour for so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Thread Killer Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Are the Hardys really that much bigger than the Bucks? I always assumed they were pretty much the same size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always assumed they were pretty much the same size. Well, not quite Billy Gunn levels of dissonance, the Hardy's coming up in the height of the Atittude Era means people forget they're only small by late 90's/early 00s standards, not normal human standards. Jeff is 6' 1" and is announced at 225, but even if you think that's worked a bit, the Bucks are working their stats as well, so he still has 2-3 inches in height and probably 25-30 pounds on him. For all the talk about size, the big thing that throws people off on the main roster is height. Well, for example, Pete Dunne looked slighlty small in NXT, it wasn't totally out of line. On the main roster, he's standing beside Sheamus and that's that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmare007 Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 MJF's shitty tan jobs gotta be a part of his gimmick. I'm not sure how no one has made fun of him for it (if they have, I haven't seen it). That's one thing WWE can actually teach him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blehschmidt Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 This has been a pretty great Dynamite so far. Opener was decent, Hangman/Takeshita was excellent, Punk wearing that shirt in Texas made me like the guy even more, tag was decent, Wardlow segment did what it needed to do, and Fenix/O'Reilly over delivered. If we get some good Regal lines out of this, and the women's joker isn't a dud, I think this one will definitely rank up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.S. Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Maki Ito is definitely an underwhelming surprise, but it makes sense to save the big guns for matches they'd win. Joe wasn't losing here and neither will Britt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
