Everyone's realized what I've known since 2007. Cody sucks.
Bert
September 30th, 2021, 3:37 PM
Why does everyone hate Cody now?
Hero! loves him.
I'll love him if he leans further into the whole Homelander thing he's doing. Have some hidden camera where he talks like MJF and then goes out and smiles and waves like nothing happened.

Because they have no taste
Nash Diesel

Cody needs to turn heel and whoever he feuds with needs to say he needs to stop pretending him and his wife are AEW's answer to Triple H and Stephanie McMahon or Total Divas, idk something that just completely blurs reality. Heel Cody gifting himself a title shot and dethroning whatever babyface takes the belt from Omega would be nuclear.
I don't hate Cody, I just don't think he's in the right role. The upside is, what he's been doing the last couple years will help his heel run. Just like Roman Reigns' booking all those years when everyone booed him out of the building helped his heel run tremendously.
Nash Diesel
September 30th, 2021, 4:48 PM
Could AEW turn Kenny back to babyface and Cody take over as the leader of the Elite?
Bert

Pres10 should take his mask off.

Cody is okay. I don't think he is great but he is not terrible. I hated the stuff with Agogo. He got the TNT title going and I liked the back and forth with Brodie. This stuff going on now is meh. I watched Rhodes to the Top. meh

cody was incredible while AEW was establishing itself. the jericho and then MJF feuds were awesome and he was by far AEW's top babyface in a very important time for the company to build momentum. for the past year+ though i've found most of what he's been involved in tiresome. i'm really ready for a heel turn, but i hope it's as part of the actual show rather than staying sequestered in some "nightmare family" bullshit no one cares about. i want to see him as a heel individual feuding with the top babyfaces. heel cody vs. cm punk could be a monster program.
VHS
September 30th, 2021, 5:31 PM
Cody's got heel written all over him, I bet they're just stretching it as far as they can so the whip is more severe. It'd be cool if he just said you know what to hell with all of you, gives the people the finger and walks out only to come back and screw somebody out of a grand achievement. The guys has an entire posse walk him to the ring, his wife is the biggest bowl of go away heat and him being a face just doesn't do it (for me).
MTR
September 30th, 2021, 5:32 PM
Yeah his face run early in AEW was really good but at this point he needs to turn heel. He is a better heel in my view.
Hero!
September 30th, 2021, 5:34 PM
last night was definitely planting the seeds for that heel turn. I hope he joins the house of black or goes back to the elite

i've never been a big fan of cody's stuff until his face run to start AEW, which i thought was incredible. his indie heel work grated on me, and not in a good way. it was so cringey and boring. i'm curious to see what direction they go with this time.
MTR
September 30th, 2021, 5:38 PM
I am mean I will probably still be meh on most of his stuff but I think he needs to change it up at this point.

Tribute to Bobby Eaton I guess, they’ve wrestled in the Midnight Express style trunks a couple of times since he died as well. But yeah, not a great fit perhaps.

Love that, would be the perfect route to go imo. Was great when Cody stepped into the ring on Dynamite and gestured to the crowd as if they were cheering the hell out of him, only to be met by a wave of boos. It definitely seems like they're going for something like that.
Mazer

glad they're going with 7 instead of 9 like the first one.
first one had a lot of mid to lower card guys, but that was also a year and a half ago and thinks have drastically changed since then. darby and orange cassidy were the only two 'big' names in the match, with brian cage as the surprise. i wonder if they stack this with bigger names or if they still string in lower guys to push the 'opportunity' angle. i imagine they may throw dante martin in there cause, i mean, why wouldn't you.

Tony also said people would be surprised by the star power in this match.
I could see Miro being in the match but him winning seems unlikely to me with heel Kenny as champ. Maybe he starts a feud with someone else in the match though.

Orange Cassidy and Matt Hardy added to the ladder match.
BGMaverick
October 1st, 2021, 11:01 PM
Crowd finally got that chant in as well as they could for Danielson. His violence and aggression is very palpable and quite enjoyable to watch play out on screen. Really fun match between the two of them, fun to see Cattle Mutilation result in a finish. Kazarian < Danielson in regards to Elite Hunting.
Nice production quality on that Starks vignette. Swagger level was off the charts for him there.
I'm curious to see how long they plan to keep Punk's next move ambiguous. Feels like they're walking a very thin line with his direction. They have some mystique to him but it can easily veer off to losing the sizzle.
WWE-itis was on display as they went to commercial way too quickly into the women's triple threat. The No-DQ aspect really helped protect Thunder and helped the other two competitors. Not mad at Jade getting the win.
“There’s plenty of souls in this company that need to know their own truth. And there's plenty of toll that needs to be collected." Nicely done. Pleasantly surprised to hear the prospects of Black being done with the Nightmare Family.
I feel like they had two matches that easily could have closed this show and they had a third that really didn't need to. Oh well.
PAC, Andrade, Moxley, Archer were a great first rollout of options for the Casino Ladder Match. Notably went down with Cassidy and Hardy being the next competitors. Either way, that group and the Joker should make for a fun mach.
Bert
October 1st, 2021, 11:16 PM

mox and archer have recent drama as well as history. pac and andrade are still feuding and just had a match that people really dug that had some cool high spots. there's at least three feuds/stories being weaved into this match, which itself tells the story of someone aspiring to win a world title shot.

I watched the first 20 minutes of Cody Rhodes' reality show because my friend records 20 mins after Dynamite airs in case it runs long. If it was a reality show about AEW I'd be all in. I liked hearing Darby talk about how he slept in his car the night before beating Cody for the TNT belt. The struggle is when it's Cody and Brandi. If this show is simply going to be a way to "stick it to the haters", it's going to paint these two as high and mighty self righteous oblivious humans.
I'm also not really about reality tv. The last reality tv shows I truly cared about were stupid ass shows like Flavor of Love and Surreal Life. I watched some of those old Real Worlds from the 90's but I never hopped on the bandwagon like many others. Big Brother, Survivor, Kardashians, none of that shit appeals to me.
But if they keep focusing on a lot of the backstage stuff, showcasing some wrestlers like Darby, it should be pretty good. But it won't so yeah.
Psycho666Soldier
October 4th, 2021, 6:28 PM
I watched the first half or so of the show, too, and I do like that it comes off a bit like a backstage look at AEW between what they showed and how they've advertised it. It makes me want to tune in just for that stuff. Like you said, if it was some kind of AEW behind the scenes reality show without the focus on Cody and Brandi, it might be mandatory viewing for me. As it is, I might leave it on casually once I finish Dynamite, but I don't plan to tune in for every episode.

Tony Kahn: ...
And I can tell you right now, I have one huge announcement on the show. It is going to be a lot of fun, and it should be just a really, really good night of wrestling for Wednesday Night Dynamite, two year anniversary show.
Mike Johnson: I know you well enough to know you're not going to hint that the announcement, but I will ask you, if you can reveal any details regarding the Joker for the Casino Ladder Match because traditionally, when the Joker shows up, it's someone people aren't expecting, whether it's Brian Cage or Ruby Soho. Any insight into who the Joker may be tomorrow evening?
Tony Khan: I will not give you any insight into who the Joker is going to be. I will not tell you that, but I will go back to the announcement, actually, instead and tell you that it's been something a long time coming. I'm very excited about it and proud of it, and it'll really add a lot to the company, I think.

Nash Diesel
October 6th, 2021, 2:19 PM
Less is more. They need to make the TNT title matter. The quality of challengers has made this title a joke. The fact Sonny Kiss almost won the title from Cody or Diego Del Latinx with his 1 win almost beat Miro....I just don't get it.
We started a drinking game where every time someone mentions Tony Khan did something during one of their shows we take a shot of Faygo or you have to take a gravity bong hit like it was 1998. Straight out the bucket.
Do you think Tony makes it a point or do these wrestlers do it because they're marks? Imagine if every segment we had be told Vince finalized it lol. "Thank you Vince for making this Charlotte v. Bianca match on Raw!" ECS in full effect (Entitled Cokehead Syndrome)

I would guess its more of a choice. It seems like people might generally like Tony, and maybe go a bit overboard here or there. I've never seen it as too problematic, but every once in a while feels shoe-horned in.

It feels like every segment we are reminded of Tony Khan. I don't think it's people going into business for themselves every time. If they are, what a bunch of asskissers lol. AEW's roster and their die hards would let Tony Khan piss in their kids' mouth if there was a chance they could get some of that billionaire money. That's why nobody talked shit about Bischoff until after the fact. At first he was the coolest guy on the planet because his "dad" had a never ending supply of cash.
The only company who should be doing a women's tag title is the main roster of WWE. It's bi-brand and they have the depth but the depth isn't much to brag about. AEW is even worse.
Mazer
October 6th, 2021, 3:48 PM
I'm not against women's tag titles. Its like all secondary titles to me. Unless you go way overboard with the number of titles (like the Invasion era), its typically more about the booking to me than the depth. The NXT women's tag titles seem to work OK to me. its a shorter show, so if they're absent from time to time, its ok.
That said, i see the counter-argument that if you introduce a title that is likely to be poorly booked, you're just asking for problems. Get your existing shit sorted first, etc

Literally just said the same thing in the discord chat.
Also, I agree with Tainted. Punk wrestling low carders is perfectly fine and I don't think is worthy of complaint. But him just casually wrestling low carders with no/minimal storylines attached is pretty weak.

Really fun that they just skipped the entrances and went right into the 8-man. Minor detail, but I dislike how things get so off the rails with either a straight tag match or a match like this one. Might as well just call it a Tornado Match haha. Really ugly powerbomb spot but they all can't be perfect. Tag semantics aside, hell of an opener.
Punk got a lot of mileage out of those Jordan 1s but that's cool that he gave them to the kid ringside. Happy-go-lucky Punk is fun and the match with Garcia should be good and certainly appreciate the fact he's giving the rub to the future, but I'm looking forward to seeing what the next big moment will be for him.
Congrats on Fuego becoming a proxy member of the Inner Circle. Lambert gets some serious heat, haha. I'll be curious to see how Dos Santos looks during the match. Paige just looks so annoying when she's in the ring lol.
Tournaments are always good and the new belt looks awesome. The women's championship looks like a throwback belt but despite having a TV channel's logo as the centerpiece, I think I like the new one more. This pretty much puts the onus on them to do more with what they have within the division. Let's see what they can do.
Simple but fun tease of Martin and Black. Think that's a mutually beneficial program for the both of them.
Commercial break outta nowhere during Hikaru/Serena lol.
Was there something I was missing as to why Pinnacle was wearing masks? That seemed very unnecessary.
Kind of surprised Moxley was pretty much the only person to get promo representation prior for the main event. Just seemed like they could have done a bit more to hype the main event. On top of that, seemed a bit rushed to have just 19 minutes of TV time with the timed rollouts for the entrants. Maybe that was intentional to create a sense of urgency but that kind of came across as rushing and maybe not giving the match time to breathe. Really good to see Hangman back, and hilarious to see the chryon back in action for him (Finally Showed Up To Work). There were a lot of wild bumps in there and hopefully everyone is okay. Things get really interesting now at the top with Bryan not letting go of challenging Omega and Page back in the mix and now guaranteed to get a shot at Omega.
Hangman: "I used up all my PTO." haha

I thought that was a bit odd, too. I figured the have enough for a set of women's tag titles and make it a point to prove they can do that better. Plus, an added benefit of getting more of their women's roster on tv as well as perhaps have title matches on Dark/Elevation. But then the more I thought about it, it made sense. You have the AEW Heavyweight, and then the TNT title. So, you have the AEW Women's title and then the TBS (for the women's roster) title. Problem is, the Baker promo later kinda had her shit on them by claiming they're fighting over a B level title.
Also, if Shida doesn't renounce her happy/smiley ways and get more vicious and less predictable (as was reference on commentary), I would be surprised. A losing streak story could kinda work here if Shida just gets obsessed with getting her 50th over Deeb, but can't find ways to beat her.
Hangman coming back as the Joker was a surprise to me as I haven't followed anything. He HAS to beat Omega now. Can't wait any longer. Hangman and Moxley going at it had potential, so them being the first feud could be good.
MTR
October 6th, 2021, 10:40 PM
Yeah that is my thought. Page gets the title shot and wins and then Danielson and Omega continue without the title since Danielson is not really going out there and wrestling a ton of singles matches to jump into the rankings.

I love the idea of a secondary women's title. Why shouldn't the women get a secondary title like the men. They don't have tag titles. They have been building a good women's division so this is a good time to add another title to the division.

People are saying the title match should happen at Full Gear. The PPV was named after Page from a BTE segment. Omega beat him at Full Gear to advance in the tournament to crown the first AEW champ so Page beating Omega in the main event is the natural conclusion to the storyline.

I'm just not sure how long Punk in the midcard stays fresh and satisfactory for all parties. AEW fans are legit excited about what's happening (as well they should be). But nothing's new forever.

I think the people who aren't sheep and appreciate reality will get sick of CM Punk doing the Sting routine, beating all the young midcarders.
The one upside to AEW is that the guy with the final say caters to the internet chatter. So I think he's seeing people of all walks of life wondering why CM Punk isn't in there, doing an actual angle with top players. This is CM Punk and fuckin Adam Cole Bay Bay is in a bigger angle.
It makes you wonder if people tune in and see Punk fighting these nobodies if they think "Yeah, this guy was always an overrated micarder" Would CM Punk have been World champion in the 1 belt era? They unified them shortly before he left and to this day I wish it had been Punk v. Bryan Mania 30 unifying the 2 titles but we got Cena/Orton (yay....) I think more fans should be like wtf, why is he fucking around instead of taking what they get--If this were Vince and Punk was working with fuckin Madcap and Cedric, people would be saying Vince is burying him.

Have some sense people. Punk isn't in AEW to be a valet like Sting, he might be past his prime years but he'll fit in the old veteran role that Flair, Hogan, Savage, Brock, Michaels, Cena, Orton, HHH etc etc have sat on or currently sit in as has happened in every era of wrestling. He'll be a multi time champion in AEW unless he gets a bad injury that stops him.
And all the aged old stars worked with mid and lower carders at somepoint as well. Hogan went to WCW and started working with Kevin Sullivan Nd his band of jobbers within about three months. HHH was trying his best to make Curtis Axel and Orton was losing feuds to Jinder Mahal due to a 50 year old Great Khalinshowing up.
Darby v MJF is a fine feud. Darby is dogshit on the mix though so hopefully they let MJF do most of that or at least let Sting talk for Darby. Both guys are in an upper mid carders spot where they are workers of the show and can move into the main event pretty easy if called upon.

“Wrestling is different. You’re not supposed to be a ‘mark’ and you’re not supposed to take pictures with someone you share a locker room with. The culture is different in AEW. I get excited when Adam Cole’s music hits. I think he can see that on my face. There is an excitement in the locker room, and then I see the fans, and it’s amazing. Every new city I go to, these people haven’t seen me in seven years. It’s like Aug. 20 all over again for me.”
“Daniel Garcia is light-years beyond his age,” Punk says. “He’s just shy of half my age, and I can only compare him to when I was that young. He’s in a better spot than when I was that age. Everything builds off a great foundation, and he’s very fundamentally sound. He’s trained by Pepper Parks [AEW wrestler The Blade], who is an excellent f------ wrestler. He’s respectful, he listens, and he’s not corny and doesn’t kiss a--. He’s everything I possibly want in a wrestler on a television show.”
Garcia is in the midst of a remarkable week. He and Alex Shelley put on a clinic Thursday night for Beyond Wrestling’s Season 3 debut of Uncharted Territory, and—in addition to the pretaped match against Punk airing on Rampage—Garcia will spend his Friday night wrestling the great Minoru Suzuki at West Coast Pro Wrestling’s No Leaf Clover show in California.
“Daniel Garcia, myself, Alex Shelley and Minoru Suzuki, those are four names you could place in four different generations of professional wrestling,” Punk says. “Minoru Suzuki, and then me, and I was in Ring of Honor when Alex Shelley was the next generation. His f------ stable was Generation Next for Christ’s sake. He was like the next guy. And now that’s Daniel Garcia. It’s crazy.”
“To me, that’s the story I want to tell on the screen. I see some of the comments like, ‘CM Punk’s not in the story line.’ Yes, I am. The story is I’ve been gone for seven years and I came back. I’m starting at the bottom and making my way to the top. That’s the story.”

So Cage really needs a mouth piece, huh? Damn, that was bad.
Maybe Ricky should have left Team Tazz instead.

I think Cage has kind of served his purpose in AEW. Not sure there's really any room for him anymore and if they continue to make signings he'd probably be a candidate for release imo. But at the time it seemed like the wrong move. Starks looks like he would thrive on his own as a babyface more than Cage. I'd love Starks to move onto a feud with Sammy over the TNT title now.
Punk/Garcia was class, as expected. Lucha Bros are so over. God, they are fantastic and them disposing of the Acclaimed fairly promptly was nice.

I guess it's kind of like his own Dark, where he has good matches with mostly young wrestlers he likes that are a step above enhancement talent. Matt Sydal is a little older than some of the other ones but he's still a good wrestler.
Bryan Danielson vs Bobby Fish on Dynamite next week is pretty much the same thing.

Another point: Say what you will about whether the promos were good, but the obvious pointed jabs directed at Punk prior to the Garcia match seem underutilized when they're coming from 2 point0.

I tend to agree with TE but we won't know until later if the dividends are paid in full. Allin was already his way to being a star, but Hobbs and Garcia's eventual trajectory will help decipher whether or not this was proper utilization of Punk.

I originally thought it would be Rush and them, but they’re still locked up with ROH.
Aramis and Argenis are a good possibility, they’ve been stateside more. Laredo Kid has done AEW before, so maybe him and someone else. Cinta de Oro (former Sin Cara 2) is starting to work again, so he’s always a possibility…there’s also always PSYCHO CLOWN who is the top guy in Triple A. Good ole Manny Kalisto is also just floating around not doing anything and his past ties are to Triple A

a second tier women's title really doesn't seem worthwhile
Can't wait to hear Jade Carbunckle say "I'm that bitch" 69 times as she holds up the title after staving off Nyla Rose after she gets another ten shots at this belt. Er, 'title'.
All snarkyness and political commentary aside, they are so weak in their Women's division, they haven't been able to come up with consistently interesting and talented challengers for one Women's title, let alone two.
I really don't see the need for another McGuffin in AEW at this time, but I understand the industry nowadays: they've only got the 4 now (WWE has 10 championships plus 2 mitb winners and now a queen and king, equals 12 or 14) and I understand AEW (and Turner) wants to push the move to TBS, hence the 'TBS Champion'.....
And if the powers that be in AEW ever added a third Men's title instead....well, we know how the (is it?) snowflakes would go nuts online posting that AEW doesn't support Women's wrestling, doesn't give women a chance, etc.....
Tony Khan might as well invite Lynda Hogan to be Commishioner of the Women's division as well. :eek:

Cause you just completely made something up. Sting has wrestled four matches in a year, he does more valet work than being an actual wrestler.
There you go, calling Sting a valet, totally made up. Imagine looking at Miss Elizabeth and Sting and seeing the same thing. All those matches her and Savage won against The Orient Express on Prime Time every week.
Nash won't let something like facts get in the way of a good argument.
The last time you tried to talk about facts you wound up getting banned. I thought it was for you saying the part about all studies are fact lol.

Going back to the ladder match I just want to say THANK GOD that match happened because this was one of the worst Dynamites we've seen in awhile. I was falling asleep.
Rampage.........Do you think the extremely low ratings are a concern? 466,000 viewers. I'm a little confused about Tony Khan's tweet about finally going head to head with the #1 show and beating Smackdown. Is he just simply talking about those 30 minutes they'll be up against each other or is he talking about the entire number?
AEW like to pull a WWE with those weird pointless wins. Like when WWE tells you they have more twitter followers than the NHL and Wayne Brady combined.....The UFC does this too. "He's tied for 9th in most submission attempts at Welterweight in the 2nd round by a Canadian"
Smackdown had over 2 million viewers on Friday. Rampage had a fraction of that. I would like to see Rampage call WWE's bluff and ask TNT to let them air at 7pm and a do a 2 1/2 hour show. Fuck it. And stick to the game plan, don't do a big match like CM Punk v. Kenny Omega. Do CM Punk v. The Librarian. Have the Young Bucks and Adam Cole v. Dark Order. TNT title defense with Sammy v. Austin Gunn.

Listening to Billi Bhatti kind of break down the WWE/Wyatt situation, it really made me chill about the whole situation with them parting ways. By far one of the best characters of all time imo. Not too many matches I would say I cared too much about but as a character, incredible. Bhatti pointing out the injuries, the requested time off over the years for various reasons. Some of the legal shit the WWE were dragged into because of his divorce.
So who knows....maybe TK sees that despite how incredible this man is, maybe with such a bloated roster it's not worth dabbling into beyond a few appearances. If you take off your WWE blinders and remember that they're really the only promotion that doesn't do any cross promotion with other wrasslin companies, you'll see that AEW are willing to put people on even if there's nothing contractual long term.
