Protect Trans Kids sign in the crowd <3

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

In Florida, too. That's powerful.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The powder, colours, lights on the crowd. I love the "old school" feel tonight.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, I missed the more colorful look. I always thought that fit AEW; it's not a carefully manicured product, it's bursts of everything from everywhere forming something cool and beautiful.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Agreed. And that was a great way of putting it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Swerve is such a psychotic villain! Wtf man

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I'm pretty sure the fox doesn't go cacow, but I'm not a biologist.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

So... What does the fox say?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Even Jeff Jarrett, King of Bullshit Mountain himself, can't out-Bullshit The Elite. Gotta love it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What did MJF react to from the crowd there?

Also I love them bringing back the powder intro

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's only been what--five years? And I'm already feeling a nice dose of nostalgia.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

To be fair 2020 lasted a decade

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

lol Excellent point.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

MJF stole Roddys friend and turned face.

Roddy also still in a neck brace 😂😂😂

And Coles old friend the OGK show up as well.

Things are getting juicy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

😂😂😂 The Jarrett overbooked style of match is so fun while doing so little.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Komander and Vikingo are what happens when you ignore air resistance in real life

Beaut of a show today. Cole/MJF at All In, while historically not a match I'd have had much interest watching in that slot, works perfectly given the story they're going for. I suppose this means that we'll have CM Punk's off-brand world title being a separate entity longer than All-In, which is perfectly good, that story's got some legs on it for sure. I've had an inkling this eventually ends with Cole betraying MJF and validating everything he's always felt about not trusting people, which is a compelling story, but the concept of them actually staying friends after and proving to MJF that there's good in the world is equally compelling, could be fun.

So happy for Shida, she deserves a run in front of fans and the division needs a shake-up. I wasn't sure whether they'd be willing to do it tonight so it was a pleasant surprise.

Swerve getting the promo we've all been waiting for him to get. A true mega-heel promo that makes him look legit as hell. This is how you start getting his character to the levels we've all wanted him to get to.

And a win for Trent? Over Moxley/Penta? That's a heck of a win, glad for him.

The first bits of All In hype levels are starting to set in, and that's good.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

So true about the MJF/Cole partnership. I loved how, at first, it seemed like Max would be the one to turn on Cole…but now everything suggests it's going to be the other way around. Just an excellent story that almost came out of nowhere.

And I'm happy for Shida too. How cool is it that the champ who wrestled in front of no one during the pandemic will be the champ at Wembley? So well deserved.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’m already sick of punk but I’m also already sick of the “this is the real belt” plot line. It’s so played out.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I'm glad Max just full-on ignored the whole storyline on Collision

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

HOLY SHIT! R-V-D!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

That was some cool shit. I appreciate the moment!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

We are spoiled with variety of matches we get on Dynamite. This sample of everything I think the original vision was. This also makes me appreciate Collision taking a more focused old school approach.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Guess he's not on a Legends contract lol.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm surprised Mox isn't bleeding already

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Ten minutes in and he's still not bleeding. This is the biggest surprise of the night, R-V-D included.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

LET'S GO TRENT?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Did Chuck just swear? Hard to tell. The person behind the 'bleep' button finally got their timing right lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

200 episodes and they still won't let him say the s word

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

They dare censor Chuck?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

WOOOO SHIDA!!!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

FUCK YEAH! HOLY SHIDA!

She kicked out a minute after!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bruuuhhh. Everybody gets tacks. I didn't expect this match to get so messy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pretty sure I saw Penta rip a tack out of his hand with his teeth and spit it out lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

If there's one guy on the roster as sick as Mox, it's Penta.

I've seen his Lucha Underground stuff, I know what he's capable of.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

These shows have all been bangers recently

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

That was some aggressive dancing

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Tony Khan is a madman. His music budget must be insane!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

It was either that or use his TNA theme, so, you know, money well spent.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Renee about to make Mox pull those tacks out of his ass so he'll learn
