AEW

Dragon v. King

Bryan with another fun match, Max Caster popped me with the "ending more careers than your father in law" line. Also love that MJF rents his friends out to others, love to see the hustle lol.

A very happy Diwali in advance to all of you!

Dark Order v. Elite means some COWBOY SHIT

Dustin v. Danielson should rule hard.

Watching on DVR now, FTR/Tully vs Lucha Bros/Alex is a match I want to see now.

Tony Khan just booked Bryan Danielson vs. Minoru Suzuki on a YouTube stream. In the year 2021. My word.

Hangman Page to be interviewed. Page-Omega is the greatest ongoing story in wrestling right now, and I am very excited to see how they book its next chapter.

Punk better be careful with Bryan Danielson’s son.

It's the 2-year anniversary of Dynamite!! This promotion looks and feels so different from 2 years ago, even with most of the featured wrestlers then still being featured now.

Danielson v. Nick Jackson should be great. Someone mentioned in the Dynamite thread that Nick Jackson is the best worker in the Elite and I think at least in 2021, I agree.

Die No Might seems pretty darned interesting this week: Miro v Sammy G, which... anything less than full-on greatness would be kind of surprising. Bungle Joy v A damn coal. Which... I think a boy vs a baybay is an unfair match-up but this should also be great. Penelope Ford and The Bunny vs Tay Conti and Anna Jay. Which... two natural heels vs two very likable ladies. Matt Sydal and Dante Martin vs Lee Johnson and Cody Rhodes. Which... Cody gonna start an actual heel turn here? How much ring experience does Matt Sydal have? Spoiler he has been wrestling since before I was evan bourne. What did CM Punk say when Adam Cop…

I am beyond excited for this one. I have been watching the Bryan Danielson ROH title run in preparation for this, and this is someone I am increasingly sure is the greatest of all time (last match watched was Danielson-Styles from RoH is the best possible modern day version of a 70s NWA world title match, absolutely adore it) going against someone who many others consider the greatest of all time. This is going to bang so hard. And it's not like the rest of the card is filler.

Already taped but it seems like a show that has potential if the crowd isn’t worn out.

Setup for next week looks damn near impeccable. The continued rise is just so fun to watch.

I think there are only three announced matches for Dynamite so far: Adam Cole vs Frankie Kazarian Jade Cargill (w/ Smart Mark Sterling) vs Leyla Hirsch Darby Allin (w/ Sting) vs Shawn Spears (w/ Tully Blanchard) Am I missing anything?

Hope it's OK for a lapsed former regular poster to stat a thread. Thinking about All Out: A fair number of the matches seem to be foregone conclusions. AEW might throw a curveball at us, though. I'm still excited to watch the matches that seem to have obvious outcomes, with maybe one exception. They added a pre-show 10-man Best Friends and JE vs HFO tag match, I guess in place of the Pac vs Andrade match. Women's Casino Battle Royale has been moved to the main card. I'd expect Thunder Rosa to win, and Ruby Soho to be the surprise entrant, but none of that is carved in stone. Mox vs Kojima: Mox is gonna win, but I'm excited to watch, for the…

Heard something big happened Sunday.

Andy Almas about to save his job tonight.

Darby vs Garcia, with some guy from Chicago named Phil on commentary, Hayter and Rebel vs The Nice Alien Lady Nose-booper, Tommy Black vs Big Shotty Lee And best of all: the Redeemer speaketh! Feels like Rampage is gonna stay on that roll.

What Will Punk Do Next

Punk posing with Giannis, Brandon Cutler out here taking falls in build-up tags, wrestling is BACK, baby!

Something big happen recently or something?

AKA CM Punk’s “surprise” debut. Moxley takes on Daniel Garcia, Jurassic Express have Private Party in that thrown together tag tournament and Cargill will flex her way through Kiera Hogan. Hopefully, we hear Eddie Kingston’s response to Miro too but this is really a one angle show so let’s hope they stick the landing.

So it’s pretty obvious that with the NXT makeover, the next several weeks are going to give AEW the opportunity to basically create the roster they’ve always wanted, along with what looks to be significant talent cuts on the main roster, and maybe some folks feeling WWE isn’t what they want it to be. However, even with three hours of TV and the two Dark programs, there is this feeling of a roster crunch when it comes to showcasing talent, and one of things AEW has done well, which is bring along new talent, might not be as highlighted as much when they have to make TV time for so many folks. Is this a good thing? We just saw NXT wither away after being a hit promoti…
