I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

I hope they give best friends/cowboy bebop a whole lot of time

I don’t want it to be a crazy head drop fest, but I hope they can make it the full match in the breadth of time it deserves.

Edit: I am also curious if Cody defends the TNT title on night 2, and how they build someone that fast to be a challenger with any hype. Not saying they cant, but I do wanna see what they do

:pray: give me cody/pentagon

On thread recommendation watched BTE.

I don't think any of us want Austin Aries in AEW and it'll probably never happen. But if he hadn't thrown a tantrum at Bound For Glory and had just done business and left amicably, y'think it would've happened?

Yeah I just watched this one, and it is as dope as expected. It’s cool that they can have another supplemental series just to hype up big events and PPVs without trying to fold it into BTE

Cody promo in this is great. "Jim Ross is gonna tell you a thousand times on commentary about how great of an amateur wrestler Jake is. Cool; we're getting paid now."

Lollin at Hager impotently sputtering out "As a prizefighter...I only see the prize...and I'm ready to fight..."

Lance Archer was built up way better as a threat than Hager has been.

Maybe that's Hager's job? To look big and mean but ultimately to just job to the stars.

Here's a thought: with Havoc now in therapy and definitely on his way out of the company, does that clear the way for Jamie Hayter to come back?

Probably just too busy.

Also, I don't think Kenny would do a podcast even if he wasn't. I guess he does twitch streams sometimes but that's just him fuckin' around on Call of Duty or fighting games or something.

Brodie Lee has been an absolute revelation since coming to AEW.

Mox has too, but in an entirely different way

is there any indication that Jimmy Havoc was the thing keeping Jamie Hayter out of AEW and not just that Hayter would rather work Stardom

The clever thing they've done with Dark Order so far is avoiding the Unspeakable Unbeatable Cult trope while still keeping them dangerous. Once someone beats the Unbeatable Cult, the story's over, but with a group like the Dark Order who are impressive but not undefeated, they can be beaten without being destroyed. Introducing or reintroducing the humour elements helps a lot with this.

I could be entirely wrong but the story I'd heard was that Havoc was influential in stopping her being booked.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
it is fun watching AEW have a new nominee for best on interviews every few months from someone long considered after their prime and useless

few months ago it was Jake the Snake, now we're up to Taz

The show hasn't even happened yet.

Even in its low points, Dynamite outperformed original expectations. Week to week ratings have very little impact on anything as far as we're concerned as fans.

Don't try to divine meaning out of ratings for one week. Absolutely don't try to divine meaning out of ratings for one week during a pandemic, the US rioting across the country, and every entertainment industry having a sex pest callout moment. I'm sure also a bunch of other stuff that's a mess that I forgot.
