It is fantastic to see the women, and Shida specifically, main eventing two weeks in a row. They've earned this spot.

Aw my instance doesn't seem to be updating this thread so I'm coming over and watching Dynamite with all of you here. I know I shouldn't laugh but I loved MJF throwing the dodgeball right at the kids face jkjdfkjdf

Neon_Carnivore@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y

Hitting a bunch of kids with dodgeballs is incredibly fun. Everyone should do it at least once.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Was that Lemmy? I know they were having issues seeing pinned posts and whatnot. In any case, glad you're here. You've always been great in these threads.

And that one kid got blasted in the face. Must've reminded Max of an old bully or something lol

cupcakezealot@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Yeah, it's on lemmy.blahaj.zone. I usually can see things but I was posting in the Dynamite thread but they were only showing up for me for some reason. I have no idea how these things work.. haha. cries

(I know they were having some server issues so maybe it's just not sending out the post to all of the instances or something; I'll try back later but for now I'm glad to be here :D)

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 8 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Kinda interesting that Daddy Magic and Cool Hand were still out there supporting Anna Jay.

csm10495@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I was more amazed that I didn't feel the need to stare at Daddy Magic's face during the Jericho segment.

Like normally his face does things, but it didn't during that segment.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y

lol Yeah, he was all business during that promo.

Travon333@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 3y

Looking at this tournament bracket is hilarious. The champ has to win to get in but the former champ gets a bye

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 7 pts · 3y (3 replies)

Looked like Cool Hand was checking for a pulse lol. That was weird.

ImADifferentBird@midwest.social · 6 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Yeah, that looked rather awkward. Wonder what they were going for there?

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 6 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I thought he was going to put her hand on the rope, but maybe the ref told Anna to nix the bit due to time?

ImADifferentBird@midwest.social · 3 pts · 3y

Yeah, that's probably it. I thought at first he was going to put her arm on the rope, and then he just didn't.

TommySalami@lemm.ee · 6 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Jack Perry vs RVD was fucking great, I'm sports entertained. RVD is in terrific shape all things considered. He was looking gassed but he kept up with everything, shaky top rope notwithstanding.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y

Absolutely. Hopefully this won't be his last match either.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 6 pts · 3y

Mox with a rolling cutter. Wow.

cupcakezealot@kbin.social · 6 pts · 3y (2 replies)

BCC recruit Luther and Serpentico already cowards :(

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 8 pts · 3y

Serpentico would basically be a +1 longsword in Claudio's hands.

CarlsIII@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y

We still haven’t seen the full potential of “Japanese death match legend” Luther!

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 6 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Shida main eventing two weeks in a row. You love to see it.

Travon333@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

😂😂😂Not to be a pessimist and it's probably to work around Anna Jay's experience level but it's only 10 minutes.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y

No you're right. And there'll probably be a commercial too lol.

Travon333@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 3y

😂😂Once again I love Garcia's dance and sassiness

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 6 pts · 3y

"...Hogan would've snorted ya"

HOLY SHIT that was gold 😂

Thedogspaw@midwest.social · 5 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Dam kids murder the little freak🤣

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Two guys who just gave a young girl CTE are about to get the biggest pops of the night.

Thedogspaw@midwest.social · 5 pts · 3y

Child abuse is such a baby face move

Travon333@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Roddy is such a trooper to travel every week in a neck brace. Gotta believe TK would've given him time off.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y

Next week Roddy should come out covered in aloe after all those MJF burns.

Travon333@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y (2 replies)

😂😂😂 So does TK break out in hives if a tournament hasn't been booked in the past 2 weeks.

32XPlayer@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y (1 reply)

That or if Orange Cassidy hasn't opened a show for a month

Travon333@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y

😂😂😂 For awhile last year, it felt like OC and Jericho were alternating who opened.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y (1 reply)

FTR = Beetlejuice

Travon333@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y

They are lowkey dickheads. Anytime another tag team gets a shot and some time to make their claim. They just upstage them immediately and hold the titles up.

cupcakezealot@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y

shake it off (better than you baybay version)

ItsWizardTime@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y

Oh no....JAS....

Moving on

Oreos are pretty awesome aren't they?

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y

If you’re reading this, please upvote the thread. Normally I’d pin it but it seems like some instances can’t see pinned posts on kbin.

I’ll pay you back with upvotes and boosts galore in the comment section.

EDIT: I'm going to pin the thread for now (its buried behind a few posts) and take it down around showtime so others can see it.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y

I really want to see these two guys (Mox and Penta) in a death match. Just the two of them.

Travon333@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I like Jack's heel personality. He's so pompous but is such a coward.

serfraser@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y

I think he's killing it, honestly. You can feel Christian's influence all over this new direction.

Travon333@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Hyped for a Bucks vs FTR match. Hopefully Matt's bicep thing is healed by then.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

He looks good so far. Same with Jeff.

Travon333@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

The familiarity with the Bucks definitely helped.

32XPlayer@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y (3 replies)

That was a pretty good showcase in a relatively short amount of time for everyone in the JAS

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Agreed. I thought Daddy Magic stole the show.

32XPlayer@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Yep, either him or Garcia imo

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y

Good call. Garcia's up there too.

32XPlayer@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Don't lose your mask challenge, difficulty: Penta

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y

Has this man heard of a knot?

Travon333@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y

I really hope these Death Triangle injuries are kayfabe

Travon333@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y (2 replies)

The JAS thing felt like an actual breakup though. Besides Sammy trying to be his equal, I feel like they all get a chance to get the Jericho henchmen stench off of them.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Yeah it was more of a 'mutual' break-up. It'll be interesting to see where they all go from here. Especially Garcia. I'm worried he's gonna stop dancing 😂

serfraser@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y

Don't you put that evil in the world! Snake Hips 4 life

ItsWizardTime@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y

Why do the Hardys have AEW Fight Forever footage in their intro? They seem to be the only ones who feature footage from the game.

Travon333@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y (4 replies)

Lol is Adam setting Max up?

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y (2 replies)

That's where I'm putting my money lol

serfraser@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Same but I'm so torn. I really think Cole needs to stay the babyface longterm but MJF is hitting Eddie G levels with this loveable scumbag stuff and I don't want it to end.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y

The whole thing is great. I can see a world where MJF/Cole win the RoH belts and Cole beats MJF for the title. They stay tagging together but friction builds over time until one finally cracks (has to be MJF in this case) and turns on the other.

…And IMO I think Cole's going to be the heel of the story – 'Manipulating' Max with friendship and charm.

Neon_Carnivore@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y

I'd honestly love that. MJF getting swindled out of his title would be incredible.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Someone say jinx!

Travon333@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

The Elite from Nick before the break was definitely at CMFTR

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Prediction for tonight:

In the ring, Jericho tells Callis he’s going to stay with JAS. Suddenly, the arena goes dark. A familiar theme hits. Whose is it? You guessed it – Goldberg’s. He comes down to the ring and spears Jericho. Then Sting runs down the ramp and runs Callis and Goldberg out of the ring.

Sting goes ‘Wooo’ then gets on the mic and says that when he was just a baby scorpion Jericho used to feed and nurture him. Sting joins the JAS and takes on Goldberg at All-In.
Jericho would fight Bill instead but one of those bionic ab plates he had installed last year ruptures during the spear so he can’t make All In because the only surgeon who can fix it is based in Germany and late August is the only time he can fit Chris in.

Thoughts?

construct_@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 3y

Probably correct

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (3 replies)

So is Ricky joining BCG?

Travon333@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I was thinking that a few weeks back, but he beat Punk without they're help. Looking back at his promos, I think he's also made it clear he's a solo star who stands on his own.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y

I think you're right. I wouldn't be surprised if Ricky/BCG get involved in the CMFTR/HoB match though. My guess is that's how HoB retains.

construct_@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 3y

Edit: OHHHH, Bullet Club Gold 🔫🥇

What's BCG?

Travon333@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

We all should have Prince Nanas hyping us up throughout the day

32XPlayer@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Roddy is taking that neck brace dangerously close to Bob Orton's cast territory

JelloBrains@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Oh no, the JAS turned on Jericho... guess they'll need to reform under a new name... isn't that how Jericho's factions have worked since AEW started?

Thedogspaw@midwest.social · 3 pts · 3y

The Jericho unappreciation society coming soon

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

I don't wanna brag or anything but I think I called that women's match for All-In ;p

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I wish they kept last week's lighting. I'm not crazy about the red/blue lines

ImADifferentBird@midwest.social · 3 pts · 3y

Yeah, I always liked the colorful powder explosions and the entrance tunnels. It's a great look.

Travon333@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

RVD still moves pretty good especially considering his past, but looking at current him shows how Uber athletic prime RVD was.

Travon333@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

So Tony isn't gonna hit any ones music.

Wait finally the Bucks music hit. Wonder if Dax is salty

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

I was hoping he'd say something again lol

ItsWizardTime@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (5 replies)

So they still haven't figured out Jacks new look eh? Those pants are too bright and shiny. Muted darker colors would look much better.

JelloBrains@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

He raided Logan Pauls's wardrobe was my first thought, because Paul was wearing similar pants.

Edit: I'm clearly behind, I didn't see those other comments when I made mine 5 minutes late.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (3 replies)

It looks a bit like Logan Paul's gear to me.

ItsWizardTime@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Thank you! I couldn't put my finger on it until you said it.

Also look it's two guys in yellow and black....

I know they are different styles of tights/pants but still.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

I hear ya. It would've been nice to see RVD in his trademark tye dye instead.

Travon333@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

I thought it was a nod to Jerry Lynn for some reason.

Travon333@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

Lol just tuning in and Tay is not impressed with Jericho

Neon_Carnivore@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

I'm surprised Jericho wasn't immediately taken to a local medical facility after Garcia served him so brutally. Those moves...

hellothere@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 3y

I'm now very worried that they are going to put the belt on Saraya at Wembley.

Beyond that, great show.
