January 2, 20205 yr comment_5908389 It was a fun match but not on par with the summer match. Still pretty great for tv.
January 2, 20205 yr comment_5908390 I thought Darby vs Cody was great. 2 for 2 with this matchup. Women's match is red hot too
January 2, 20205 yr comment_5908392 This is how I like my Britt Baker matches... with her laying on the mat not doing anything for most of the match
January 2, 20205 yr comment_5908393 The visual of Riho being squashed through the table by Rose was awesome
January 2, 20205 yr comment_5908394 Agreed. Nice setup for a match down the road. The right person lost. No complaints.
January 2, 20205 yr comment_5908395 I feel like Nyla is getting better but I can't really say the same about Britt Baker.
January 2, 20205 yr comment_5908396 Without paying super close attention to the Cody/Darby match, I enjoyed mostly everything I saw in it. I think Darby probably could have sold the leg a little better from the first figure four. I'm happy Arn is doing something, but I'm not sure how I feel about the "head coach" role. I love Darby though, the way he flies into things is brave. I didn't watch the 4-way match after it just started and people were already laying around. I stopped watching the Moxley match, because why was he having such a competitive match with a guy named "Trent"?

The best thing she did in the match was lay around and get pinned. I can't get over the fact that I enjoy Moxley so much more than Ambrose.
January 2, 20205 yr comment_5908398 I lol'ed at Jericho offering Mox an "Executive VP" role in the Inner Circle.
January 2, 20205 yr Author comment_5908399 Sammy doing a promo via signs in the PIP break was tremendous.

January 2, 20205 yr comment_5908402 Dustin vs Sammy with Hager at ringside was super fun. This show has been a blast
January 2, 20205 yr comment_5908403 JR's eroding skills have been discussed ad nauseam but he still is great at being disgusted by heel tactics.
January 2, 20205 yr comment_5908405 Enjoyed Sammy vs. Dustin. Didn't enjoy the finish. The MJF promo didn't resonate with me this week. They need to turn off the damn background music during interviews.
January 2, 20205 yr Author comment_5908406 Not sure if the amount of time they keep leaving for main events is intentional or not, but 11 minutes of air time at the start of this match is not great.
January 2, 20205 yr comment_5908407 I thought this was the best mindless AEW spotfest so far. Maybe it was good vibes from enjoying most of the show.
January 2, 20205 yr comment_5908408 Very, very good show. Weakest part was the ME, IMO, but everything else kept my attention and ranged from enjoyable to daaaaaaamn good.
January 2, 20205 yr comment_5908409 I really enjoyed this show, more than any AEW since Full Gear I think
January 2, 20205 yr Author comment_5908410 Just now, goodhelmet said: I thought this was the best mindless AEW spotfest so far. Maybe it was good vibes from enjoying most of the show. They definitely brought the creativity and intensity tonight.
January 2, 20205 yr comment_5908418 Maybe I was watching this with a new year hangover - happy 2020 everyone! - but I thought this was one of the best Dynamite episodes in a long time. Certainly the best since Full Gear. Baker turning heel is clearly the only road forward for her - same with Page. That pop Cody got in his match was insane - unless they fuck it up really badly, Cody-MJF will be awesome.
January 2, 20205 yr comment_5908419 Hangman Page poured a glass of Jack at the bar and then sipped a glass of iced tea on commentary. Some of us can tell the difference by sight and I'm not sure what that says. Either way, I actually dug him in a "frustrated middle manager" sense, and I think he'd be far more over if he actually did some cowboy shit instead of just using it for a t-shirt and trying to spam 2006's "indie wrestler starter pack" moveset. Cody/Darby was awesome and an early MOTYC for me. Dustin/Sammy was insanely fun with the right finish, and Sammy's promo in the crowd leading to Jericho's video promo about the car and then sealing it with Sammy using the cue cards to promo during the PIP commercial break was BEAUTIFUL. That is the kind of shit that makes AEW stand out, far more than any flippity-dippity spotfest could.
January 2, 20205 yr comment_5908422 I also want to say that Jon Moxley is already a contender for wrestler of the year 2020 for Orange Cassidy-ing Orange Cassidy.
