I thought this was the weakest ep in a while. No blow away matches, way too many insider references and a main event storyline I'm not in love with. Still a fun way to spend 2 hours though

What insider references were there?

I know about the slap and Matt/Callis' one on one. I'm just wondering why they're focusing so hard on Matt's feelings here and not Nick's. Is there some reason why Matt and Kenny are closer than Nick/Kenny? My first experience with the bucks is exclusively through AEW so idk if there's some backstory from NJPW that I'm missing.

Nick is a natural heel and knows it. But he loves and will stick with his brother no matter what. Matt is more conflicted.

I'm definitely expecting less arguments about the rating itt this week, though next week should be extremely interesting in that regard

The war is over, there is no need to post about ratings ever again after this week.

When they get the second show I feel like that's going to alleviate the feeling of bloat had by people who currently choose not to watch over 50% of AEWs weekly content, as long as they choose not to skip it like they already do the YouTube shows. Cause not counting them is the only way it feels bloated even now, and that's a you problem, not an AEW problem.

Vince MechMahon

I'm gonna be real: I don't think any of AEWs title reigns have been particularly special. It may just take some distance between when they happened and looking back, but like... None of them have had anything that's really stood out as "this couldn't have happened without a title" involved. Or had a long enough chase for the belt. Both Mox and Kenny won the belt on their first attempt. It's one of the reasons I'd be okay with Hangman going for it and whiffing it. When he wins the belt that will be a moment, cause it's been building for so long. But right now there just hasn't been that for me yet.

I also don't really think it matters though, as belts are just props 9 times out of 10 wherever you go (or just 10 times out of 10 with WWE at this point) and the rest of the product is still good regardless.

Bullet Club rules, but the belts either need to come off the Bucks or they need to actually defend them.

"Takeover had better matches than a weekly Dynamite" is not exactly a shock.

It would be for me. I'll take a series of matches the vary in style, even if they aren't all great, than the one single match everyone has at NXT every show any day of the week.

Exactly the same length as dynamite???

When I checked on peacock as Dynamite was ending it said it started 4 hours previously. So if it's not 4 hours long, that's on Peacock.

It's not even like he's doing anything major. He's not leading the Dark Order or anything, he just comes out with them sometimes and acts funny in the background, and for some reason he gets to be Tay's manager. It's not like he's giving them actual orders or cutting big tv promos.

That one promo he cut against Luther was great, though.

I know the roster is huge but it’s not like there’s a ton of fat to trim. Guys like Daniels, Jericho, Dustin and Christian all seem to be in their last runs, guys like Cutler and Nakazawa have other roles but ultimately harmless to have on the roster as job guys. The tag division is a little crowded but there’s not really any teams I would cut either.

I guess if you held a gun to my head and told me to cut 20 wrestlers I’d cut:

- Hager
- Spears
- Colt
- Preston Vance (sorry -1!)
- cutler
- Nakazawa
- Christian
- Kazarian
- Daniels
- Dr Luther (sorry MRT!)
- Shanna
- Mel
- Serpentico
- Janela
- Sonny Kiss
- Marko stunt
- Matt Sydal
- Mile Sydal
- Leva Bates
- Ethan Page

This is the list of a crazy person.

The bucks are really good, and why does everyone keep saying this was an invasion angle? It was never an Invasion angle. That's more WWE brain poisoning. It's not an invasion angle when ROH guys show up on NJPW either.

brian posted:

i will never ever believe that

Then that's a you problem because Tony Khan has been on record dozens of times saying he is the booking "team," and the buck stops with him. So if you're starting from a position of "fake news" despite all the evidence to the contrary, you might just be a weirdo about the bucks.

You can just not like the Bucks without having to make up a whole headcanon about them. The worst that will happen is I will reply to you saying "Bucks rule, haters vacate," and that's not so bad. Some have even been known to enjoy it.

I think the only thing that would actually make me a bit upset right now is if the Buck's retain. We don't need tag and world title to be tied up in this. Give the division it's own story while the Bucks help Kenny.

Them losing takes us a step backwards. The entire thing Don and Kenny were doing was to get the bucks their killer instinct back. If they do that then lose a week later, we revert back to where we were before the heel turn.

is Kenny winning the IMPACT title in a few weeks? Do you think winning Big Plat, IMPACT, and holding the AAA title is enough to put a bow on the belt hunter thing?

I think he needs at least one more he can actually wear and say the name of on TV, because he can't with the AAA belt currently, it would seem.

The Young Bucks are killing this promotion like they're killing the business and you can tell because of all their poorly received matches with Lucha Bros/PnP/FTR/Butcher and Blade/Private Party/Top Flight/Hybrid 2/The Acclaimed/Jurassic Express/Cowboy Bebop and I could keep going they've just had so many duds

They get zero crowd reaction too. People just don't care about the old bucks.

You're gonna look foolish to doubt JR when Kenny and Don, dressed like a ref, run down after the main event of mania, hit the champ with a one Winged Angel, get the pinfall, and then run back to AEW with the big ugly logo belt.

Put Abadon into the Acclaimed but don't change her gimmick at all. Or theirs. Castor raps, Bowens as the hype man, Abadon stands there and looks scary.

You know, if Death Triangle need someone to counter Statlander, bringing in a zombie weirdo to counter the alien weirdo would be fun.

My guess is the house show might be used to test either time slots for the second hour, or as an HBO Max special. I bet we don't get the full thing for like, at least a month though. This is all based off nothing but gut feelings and is probably wrong.

I thought part of the build was saying the show wouldn't be broadcast in any way?

Fans with mobiles changes things, but nevertheless.

They had a full production staff and commentary team. If they weren't planning on releasing it I'm not sure why they would bother with commentary. Production I can see the argument of wanting it for historical purposes but the commentary is what pushes it over the edge for me.

Who was on commentary? It could just as easily have been a “here’s an opportunity to get some reps in live but without worrying about a broadcast” if it wasn’t the usual dynamite desk.

Schiavone and Kingston. So not guys that need the practice.
