AEW TV Megathread

[Lukeless]

Cash Wheeler is such a great bumper.  Besides FTR's excellence at the legitimate match and performance aspects of tag team wrestling I love to see how Cash will pirouette when he's getting thrown out of the ring and how he'll try to kill himself once or twice every match.  I started typing this before the match was over and seeing the finish I feel vindicated lol

It’s ROH so I’m not even sure how many people are watching but they need to get the Trios belts off Dustin and the Von Erich immediately and give me El Sky Team vs Adam Priest and The Workhorsemen

Not a fan of making the tag title match a three-way. If it's that's a way for Hurt Syndicate to drop the belts without having to eat a pin, that's all you need to know about them. (EDIT : wait so apparently I missed the fact it's a three-way elimination match, therefore whoever loses has to eat a pin. Ok then)

Not a fan of every stipulations in the world added to MJF vs Hangman, but I guess this is a way to make the audience doubt about what should be a foregone conclusion (Hangman is not losing the belt just after that win at All In, that would be really dumb and would kill the momentum of the company). Still, all this feels over-convoluted to me, which has been an issue with the MJF character before.

I don't really care about the Christian & Cope angle, but I like the fact Christian remains the same old asshole and doesn't just switch to babyface, a role that never fit him well and less than ever now. Luchasaurus coming back is "oh, ok" to me. It makes the dynamics between him and Christian kinda screwed up in a way since the slow burn was him turning babyface on Christian, so I dunno how you do that now. And the match has even less business on a PPV now. I honestly can't wait until this whole thing is done after Toronto. I don't care about an angle based on WWF nostalgia from 24 years ago.

The Ospreay promo was great, the three matches were quite good (FTR the Brodido was actually better than that, but the ending made no sense to me, how in the hell you have a tournament final end with a time-limited match ?), and Danielson showing up was cool, but honestly one of the weakest Dynamite they have done in a long time, with a crowd that was kinda flat (or poorly mic-ed). Hopefully Forbidden Door will wipe the so-so feels I got from this episode (and let's be real, it most probably will, look at those matches on paper). Can't wait for the 2300 Arena residency after that too.

This, in general. This whole trio thingy was ridiculous anyway since the Von Erich were not even there for months and months. 

It would make no sense to keep the trios & tag titles on Dustin's team while he's gone considering others had to vacate for way less (I won't even mention the dumb "interim" stuff which I thought was a thing of the past). Get those things on Blake Christian & Lee Johnson anyway.

Glad Adam Priest is getting some sort of ROH push, yeah.

Also, just sign Janai Kai and give her a sweet ROH push as a starter. She was one of the rare talent that was interesting in MLW these last few years.
