Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Some nasty storms knocked out my power last night, we were back up and running just in time for the TNT title match.

Marq Quen is not human, I still can't get over that DDT.

I'll have to catch the rest of the episode on demand, it sounds like it was a pretty good one.

We will never be rid of these stars. But I hope they live forever.
Loving this work from home thing. Starting my day getting meetings and emails squared away while watching last night's Dynamite. Hell yes.

First match now. Jericho, for everything else he is, is a pretty great commentator.

Also Butcher the Blade just exude violence, I love it.

E: wait Butcher plays guitar for Every Time I Die?! That's hilarious.

E2: Pretty good match, but I still think FTR's mindbreaker finishing move looks a bit hokey.

Ive watched that gif in slow motion and worked put the real hero of it isnt Marq its Cody. When Marq is halfway up Cody pivots his body left to face sideways. It looks like a corkscrew but its really as simple as Cody turned halfway through the move which twisted Marq sideways too.

what i really want out of this title run for cody is not fuckin hager matches but lots of matches with cody and a young gun like jungle b last week and marq this week where they go out and have a banger of a match and make you believe they can beat cody (and cody doing the work with them and working out some really cool spots specific to their talents because he's good at that kind of thing)

I agree, I think it says A LOT about Cody that he's showcasing young talent in a very positive light. It must be why the climate is so much better at AEW: it seems like most of the wrestlers care about each other, and that is encouraged and modeled by people at the top.

A four person commentary team is too much. Jericho is much better when he can stay engaged with one other person otherwise its all over the place.

Jericho yelling over the top of everyone was starting to get on my nerves and it would have been intolerable if he was on commentary for the whole show with the way he was acting. So when he left the booth to beat down OC I started to wonder if he was being obnoxious on purpose knowing he wouldn't be there for long.

Pro is an amazing name!
Random thought: I really want the Sonny/Joey tag team to have a spot where Sonny goes for a flying rear end attack and the opponent sells it like crazy, and then Joey goes for the same attack and the opponent no-sells it.

cody is 100% committed to doing HHH but not lovely and i have made my peace with that, because when he does old school southern wrestling like last night, i love it

its a dangerous niche and i wont be prepared when he becomes Fully Bad HHH but i have to believe it wont happen or my world will shatter

I really, really like this Matt and Sammy angle. One of the first things Matt said when he joined was that AEW is a haven for the future of wrestling, him wanting to protect and help push that future, leading into a fight against Jericho for Sammy's soul is super good.

Ok, so I just had a thought.

Matt Hardy is doing the multi-persona thing right now, and building towards a Jericho match, right?

Take a look at Jericho's entrance at Double Or Nothing last year.

https://youtu.be/CIsKdtE718U

And now imagine a cinematic match at the Hardy Compound where Team Extreme Matt Hardy, Mattitude 1.0, S.C.U.M. Matt Hardy, and Broken Matt Hardy face off against Lionheart Chris Jericho, Y2J, List Jericho, and the Painmaker.

Film it out of order so Jericho can get the appropriate haircuts, and maybe end it with a new Jericho persona (shaved bald?). Match Hardy's madness with Jericho's own. Maybe they're competing for Sammy's soul.

The final step for Jericho is draw an eye on his head and tag with Luther. Meltzer gives them an award.

I'm not interested in constructive criticism, believe me.
jericho has basically evolved once in AEW already. at least to me the menacing painmaker with the fedora and spiky leather is distinct from the paranoid goof who wears gaudy blazers with no shirt, aviators, and carries a baseball bat.

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.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

The Painmaker is Jericho's New Japan persona, so they're at least somewhat distinct.

The Audience: "Man, I wonder who Cody is going to fight at Fyter Fest so many young, up and coming superstars in AEW or maybe a new debut, the possible oppenents are endless--"
Cody: "JAKE HAGER, YOU WANT A MATCH AT FYTER?"
