June 30, 20223 yr comment_5984806 Fucking LOL at Claudio taking Kingston's victory away from him. Great storytelling, but if this is the blowout, fucking Jericho didn't get his comeuppance.
June 30, 20223 yr comment_5984809 Yep, this was far and away the best Dynamite of the year. PiP during Blood & Guts was the worst part if anything
June 30, 20223 yr comment_5984810 Blood and Guts was... okay, I guess. Jericho going to the top of the cell basically killed the match for me, and it was going great, even managing to circumvent Santana's injury.
June 30, 20223 yr comment_5984811 I generally liked the match, with two issues. The time. Man, there’s just no reason to have a hardcore style match go this long. That kind of leads to the second problem. For three minutes when the match should be hitting its finish we go Picture in Picture and lose sound. Then a five minute break AGAIN later in the match. Frustrating.
June 30, 20223 yr comment_5984812 This is where the Santana injury happened. I wonder if the spot where Tay clocked Aubrey Edwards and opened the cage door was designed to allow staff to get Santana to the back

I wonder if the spot where Tay clocked Aubrey Edwards and opened the cage door was designed to allow staff to get Santana to the back I don't think so, because they set up Ruby Soho's possible involvement in the pre-match video. That was definitely a waste of the first "heel knocks out Aubrey Edwards" moment, though.
June 30, 20223 yr comment_5984815 I don't want to cast aspersions here, but Santana has put on about 50 pounds of muscle in the past couple of months. This was way better than the first B&G, picture in picture and ad breaks were bad, but not as awful as the first one was. I don't know what the fuck the JAS outfits were supposed to be. Like old timey ENTERTAINMENT strippers or some shit? Looked real stupid, and if they were going to bleed buckets, maybe wear a different color.
June 30, 20223 yr comment_5984816 JAS I thought was supposed to be Clockwork Orange but in red instead of white.
June 30, 20223 yr comment_5984818 Just now, TheDuke said: JAS I thought was supposed to be Clockwork Orange but in red instead of white. That and also their gimmick is being douchebag SPORTZ ENTERTAINERS so of course they will wear the most ridiculous thing possible to a Blood and Guts match,.
June 30, 20223 yr comment_5984819 Evil Christian is great, him versus Jungle Boy seems like it will absolutely slap, but I could do without evil Luchasaurus - though if they keep it to short squashes like that, it’s tolerable I guess.
June 30, 20223 yr comment_5984820 Thought blood and guts was just okay - unnecessarily flabby and it slowed to a crawl once Jericho went to the top, without the requisite drama to justify that pace. The Claudio/Kingston ending was clever enough but not really what I'm looking for as the culmination of a gang fight. The whole thing paled in comparison to the arena brawl.
June 30, 20223 yr comment_5984821 Gotta say, I love “salty, chip on his shoulder” Eddie, but I think he gets really phony when he’s “cartoonishly sadistic” Eddie. Didn’t care for the gasoline, didn’t care for the Sammy bump leading into the maniacal laugh.
June 30, 20223 yr comment_5984822 With this and Forbidden Door I'm so pumped for when I go on July 20th, GET INTO IT!!!
June 30, 20223 yr comment_5984823 That was a fucking great show, and the best part was OC coming out to "Jane" with the Best Friends wearing those tye dye track suits that looked like half of my tee shirts. After the PPV match with Osprey that blew everyone away, this is the start of the "serious" OC character and I'm all in. Oh and the main event was fucking awesome. Come on, what a great blood filled spectacle . Daddy Magic dude took a beating and an assisted blade job from Mox. And those JAS outfits were amazing.
June 30, 20223 yr comment_5984824 I thought the middle of the match dragged a bit, possibly due to Santana blowing out his knee and them needing to adjust to that. I also wish that not every one of this kind of match goes on top; it takes ages for them to climb, and the Sammy bump was not necessary In this case though, for me, it was worth it just for seeing Claudio swing Jericho on top of the cage. That was a crazy "holy shit" spot, and credit to Jericho for trusting Claudio enough to do that. Man, Claudio is strong as fuck, and now that he is on a roster full of generally smaller guys to work with, it means we can see him press slam more fools. The finish was also clever and great storytelling, and it's nice to see more angles and storylines developing in AEW again. Christian being the swarmiest dick possible is another great one.
June 30, 20223 yr comment_5984826 Claudio doing crazy ass feats of strength against smaller dudes in AEW is going to rule so hard. Shit, he might be able to juggle the Best Friends. Also we might seriously need to rename the Muta Scale to the 2.0 Scale. They don't fuck around when it's time to bleed.
June 30, 20223 yr comment_5984828 Eddie was also telling Claudio at the end that he hurt his back. Hope it's not too serious, the absolute last thing AEW needs is Eddie Kingston on the shelf
