idk, hope it resumes, punk vs. ricky please

― Windsor Davies, Thursday, 28 October 2021 12:56 (two years ago) link
finally caught up with Dynamite in full after watching Deeb / Shida and the main event on my lunch break earlier. i'm like a broken record over here but it is really astonishing how consistent they are. yet another show where even the worst stuff was at least "good".
I think they're onto something with sleep-deprived new dad Moxley. it's a great pivot away from where he was now he doesn't need to be the top babyface anchoring the show. idk how this world title tournament is gonna go but I think they could do a lot worse then have Moxley give Danielson his first AEW loss in the final. Danielson can take it and it would serve to reestablish Moxley as one of the main guys now that Danielson, Punk, Cole, Black etc. are all there. would be an awesome first feud for Hangman too.
so many places they can go at this stage!
with all that said, not mad on Bobby Fish getting 15 minutes every week given how stacked the rest of the roster is. TK seems to like him a lot. he'd be good working with the young guys and the unsigned indy talent on Dark

Jon Moxley has allowed me to share with you that he is entering an inpatient alcohol treatment program. Jon is a beloved member of the AEW family. We all stand with him and Renee, and all of his family and friends, as he shifts his focus to recovery.— Tony Khan (@TonyKhan) November 3, 2021

Yeah, after decades of wrestling encouraging binge and bad behaviour, it’s nice to see tv appearances not mean as much as a mans health. Hope he gets the help he needs.
― a hoy hoy, Wednesday, 3 November 2021 18:44 (two years ago) link
Mox describes what it feels like to smoke crack in the prologue of his book, and has recounted doing cocaine and going to the library on Renee's podcast. He's definitely a guy that has walked that line, so it's nice to see someone who has that kind of persona in wrestling choosing to get treatment before he spins out of control.
Really a testament to how much parenthood can change some people. I'm really glad that it's transformative in a positive way for him.

Anyone else see Eddie and Punk’s confrontation? Eddie was sooooo good.

A lot said about the in-ring justifiably but AEW has had a hell of a year for promos, with Mox/Britt/Eddie/Miro killing it every week and Punk coming in

Can't think of anyone who deserves to be spotlighted more than Eddie Kingston. Someone who truly did it all for the love.
― hourspass, Tuesday, 9 November 2021 20:24 (two years ago) link
While I really agree, that’s also quite true of a lot of AEW wrestlers, and they can’t all have the belt, ya know?

Also true. Either way, I am glad that he's finally contracted somewhere and has a little more security in his life. The pandemic really affected a lot of people as far as their ability to eke out a living through wrestling. Sobering to think about how close he was to hanging up the boots.

Punk vs Eddie man, fucking intense
that Elite/Jurassic express tag was kind of overindulgent for its placement on a card of this size, but it sure did a lot for Jungle Boy Man
That was my favourite MJF match I think
Miro getting dropped by basically a pro-wres flash knockout after a King's Road style epic kind of shows what AEW had been missing in its first two years of existence IMO (other than Serena Deeb, the actual best worker in America); Punk and Bryan's input over a couple of months has been unreal and I hope the youngins are absorbing everything they can from them while they're around

not sure how hangman vs. omega lived up to the hype. but it did
― STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Sunday, 14 November 2021 05:24 (two years ago) link
MJF/Allin was just the best. I don’t care about whatever crap storyline they need to build up, but MJF should be on every PPV.
― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Sunday, 14 November 2021 07:08 (two years ago) link
I also in no way, shape or form got tears at the end of the PPV.
― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Sunday, 14 November 2021 07:09 (two years ago) link
I’m ridiculously tired. I woke up worrying about life, remembered this was on and went for it.
I disliked the start of MJF-Darby with them doing a synchronised dance, at one point you could see them lifting the other guys arm off the mat, as if the dance was so much more than pinning the other guy. They got me after that for a bit. Hated the finish though, it deserved something better than MJF touching his dick 20 times throughout the match.
FTR and Lucha Bros don’t mix at all. Again, horrible finish.
My laptop started playing up during Miro-DBry. Will need to watch again.
Then there seemed to be 3 matches I didn’t really care about, and fast forwarded all through and started to get really sleepy. If it wasn’t motn next, I would have fallen asleep in my Bluetooth headphones. I don’t understand why the Cody tag in particular needed to happen here, and Britt needs more convincing challenges.
Eddie-Punk was fucking great. The Cena tease was a motherfucker.
Jericho needs to go away. Fast forwarded through, only to catch Jericho going up on the ropes, waiting way too long and shouting for JUNIOR! JUNIOR! to come hit him, which was embarrassing.
Jay Lethal is everything I’ve never cared about in TNA/modern indie wrestling. Also has a few allegations that don’t sound too great from #speakingout
That Hangman video! At first I was sad they didn’t go full WM17/My Way and just had a small video. But the second horse vid was great. A great match too. Intrigued to see what happens now. There is a lot of talk about Kenny being injured, about the SuperKliq, Bryan as #1 contender, Punk-Mox-MJF-Miro all as potential other contenders, some big names who could come from the midcard or other promotions too. All the champions up until this point seemed like logical progressions you could see coming a mile off. Now seems like the first time you can’t really predict what’s going to happen. I’m very excited.
All in all, a decent show that I hoped to be a better one. Maybe if I watch it again in a couple days and a better mood, it would be.
