Posted April 13, 20223 yr comment_5979581 Loaded Dynamite and Rampage this week. Joe v. Suzuki, Texas Death Match. And oh yeah, Eddie Kingston is the absolute best -
April 13, 20223 yr comment_5979582 Looking forward to Punk vs Penta and Hobbs/Starks vs Swerve/Lee too.
April 13, 20223 yr comment_5979589 Punk/Penta bothers me. It sounds too good to be thrown randomly at this Dynamite, in a moment where I don't think is a good idea to make neither one of them lose. That match up deserved some build up and higher stakes.
April 13, 20223 yr comment_5979590 Penta is just not hitting like he once did, though. He’s becoming a casualty to the bigger names, and while there’s some want to push him as a singles guy due to Fenix’s injury, he’s treading water until he comes back. It’s clear that Tony sees the most value in him as a tag performer right now.
April 13, 20223 yr comment_5979598 They can heat Penta back up at any time. Also, Penta hasn't had a banger of a singles match in AEW in a while and the vibe I get online is that people are sick of the taunt spamming. Watching live, though, it's obvious he's still over. I think putting him in the ring with one of the smartest workers going right now is a good move.
April 13, 20223 yr comment_5979600 Quick note to anybody who is planning on recording tonight’s show on their DVR and watching it later, there is apparently supposed to be an overrun so set your timer accordingly! I used to get burned by my cable company on a fairly regular basis when Raw and Nitro ran over and I was recording it for later because I wasn’t around to watch it due to work or whatever.
April 13, 20223 yr comment_5979606 Punk called out like 20 people on Twitter for a match, Penta was the least interesting of them.
April 14, 20223 yr Author comment_5979610 Punk doing the old carny "hey this is a botch and I might be legit injured" selling, nice
April 14, 20223 yr comment_5979611 I mistimed things and missed the first ten minutes of the Punk-Penta opener - bummer - but I liked what I saw. I have a bad feeling the bland ReDragon will win the Tag Team Titles tonight from Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus. I sure hope not.

Unfortunately Penta is treading water until Fenix comes back. But there’s no shame in losing to Punk.
April 14, 20223 yr Author comment_5979613 If reDragon are transitional champs for FTR to have a heel team to beat, I am cool with it. But I would have the champs retain too, yeah
April 14, 20223 yr comment_5979614 Liked that double team move by Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus, variation on a Demolition Decapitation. They should pull that out more often.
April 14, 20223 yr comment_5979615 I can see ReDragon being transitional champs but Coach Tony doesn't seem to book like that.
April 14, 20223 yr comment_5979616 Just now, sek69 said: I can see ReDragon being transitional champs but Coach Tony doesn't seem to book like that. Probably for the best. ReDragon vs. FTR for the titles would be seen as a match between "NXT castoffs." Not my opinion - just what you know anti-AEW idiots would say. Never mind that both teams weren't there at the same time.
April 14, 20223 yr comment_5979618 The only thing more heartwarming than Tony Schiavone rediscovering his love of wrestling is Regal rediscovering his love for violence.
April 14, 20223 yr Author comment_5979619 FTR have become massive faces so effortlessly. This is going to be their year. That Blackpool combat club backstage interview was excellent.
April 14, 20223 yr Author comment_5979620 How many indy jobbers do you think technically just made their TV debut right now
April 14, 20223 yr comment_5979621 MJF/Wardlow is going to end up doing a huge number on whatever PPV it ends up on. People are salivating for Wardlow to tear him to pieces.
April 14, 20223 yr Author comment_5979623 That was a very good trios match. Wonder what the long term plan is for King and PnP to even the numbers advantage.
April 14, 20223 yr comment_5979624 JR getting to talk about Mid South history and Bill Watts made him sound happier than I've heard him in years.
