Really solid event and i loved Sting's retirement match, TK did book him great during his run!

[RJK]

Sting's last match was great! Darby is crazy. And I can't wait for JR to retire, business has passed him by

[RJK]

I think it's a mistake to not have Okada directly in the Main Event for the world title. Love what they did on Dynamite though

[henryeatscereal]

Dynamite was very interesting!

Wasn't expecting Okada joining The Elite, but it makes sense for him to have a match with Ospreay, Kingston and Danielson.

Loved the Darby Allin promo, i hope the guy comes back alive.

New logo and colors look good, the show needed a makeover.

[Space Suicide]

The amount of WWE tribalism oath sworn fans I've seen online trying to erode Ospreay and now the Okada debut is hilarious. I know the Young Bucks are divisive but give me a break haha.

After a little fat cutting and more focused booking, this is easily the strongest roster AEW has had in years.

[the duder]

Shocked to read reports that CJ Perry and Miro have called it quits.

On Rusev day, of all days...

[richardp]

He has truly renounced his hot flexible wife once and for all. Damn.

WWE President Nick Khan, COO Brad Blum Revealed as Key Figures in Vince McMahon Sex-Trafficking Suit

Not surprised, honestly

[Swykk]

Divorce is never a good time. I wish them both the best navigating through it.

Of course LBE Khan knew about Vince. So did Stephanie and she tried to keep Vince out and bailed when he got back in. As much as I do not like her, she has had more integrity here than anyone else involved. Not a high bar to clear, mind you, but still.

Now, some positive—I think I’m going to try and watch Wrestlemania for the first time in many years. It is shaping up real well overall. I’m interested again.

[the duder]

Things have been pretty excellent in the WWE world over the past 4ish months. Genuinely excited for Mania for the first time in a long time.

[MrLobster]

Huh, neat... a new season of Dark Side of the Ring has started.

And what's this about Foley wanting to do another match? I get the overall goal of wanting to use training as a reason to put in the effort to get healthier for the future... but it's not a match I'd watch.

[xfocalinx]

Filmed a sit down interview plus inring footage back in October. The production on it has finally finished. This local company does one minute features on local artists..but they liked my stuff so much I managed to get a bit longer than 1 minute!




Enjoy!

Even though I'm not a fan I'll post it for those that care.

Last night was probably the best Raw in a decade - WWE is proving that it is easily the best company in the business in regards to storytelling. Also the first intentional blood spot since (i think) extreme rules with the thumbtacks in 2016. When you don't bleed every time someone farts it actually means something.

Bonkers show overall.

[richardp]

Yeah I'll agree last night's Raw was genuinely one of the best episodes that I've seen in a really really long time. That Mcytire, Rollins, Punk promo was ridiculously fucking great. Drew was killing it out there. The "PG, Buddy" comment had me in stitches. I know the whole segment was a scripted work, but dammit if all three of them were legit shooting on each other.

Most of it, 100% Punk went rogue when he asked Drew "who chose him" (Vince). I'm loving TKO WWE, everything has improved.

[Space Suicide]

I've heard it was great by most online, I personally didn't watch it as I rarely pencil in time to watch any WWE outside of NXT weekly with devotion.

Best in a decade because of two promos/segments? No one even talked about if the matches on the card were worth a damn in most praises of this episode.

Best in a decade...guess one episode out of (estimated 51 weeks a year, not Christmas week) 510 episodes isn't bad.

[henryeatscereal]

I watched it, felt like an "ok" RAW,

best in a decade? i guess the bar it's pretty low...

Ricochet vs Big Head was really fucking good, and Jey vs Nakamura was also a blast to watch. The promo segments were phenomenal, but the matches themselves did not suck either.

[Swykk]

The Cody promo was great.

I liked Punk and Drew but Seth just keeps making an ass of himself. It’s so weird that not only is he being made to look like an also ran in the tag team match with Cody versus Rockline but also tonight essentially used a bunch of words that could be summarized as “ME TOO, guys! I’m super important.” which makes him sound like an also ran in his match versus Drew.

[xfocalinx]

With all the cursing lately and the blood from Cody, I wonder if they're testing the waters of PG13 content, and then if it's all positive - switch to PG13 when they jump to Netflix

That would be a welcome addition, as long as they don't go nuts with the blood and keep it rare. It's super tacky in 2024.

Also i'm surprised no one has mentioned the rock throwing the trash can at cody and nailing him in the head - SUPER reckless.

[Swykk]

This is yet another Swerve appreciation post.

Him and Takeshita tore it up last night and you have to think Swerve will be champion next month and probably hold it until Wembley where I assume Ospreay will take it from him from the look of things.

[the duder]

Fun two hours of dynamite last night, bookended by two excellent matches.

Is this pro wrestling's renaissance? It's all really, really good.

[henryeatscereal]

It's Swerve's time and he should be crowned at Dynasty, next month

Ospreay's match was good too.

I'm not a Punk fan, but hearing him name drop Jim Cornette's podcasts put a smile on my face.

Speaking of Punk: https://www.cagesideseats.com/aew/20...ium-jack-perry

[Swykk]

That’s pretty much what was already known (at least I had heard these things). My position remains that the whole thing sucked. I don’t think anybody involved handled things correctly but I still love and appreciate them. None of this makes me hate AEW, Punk, Tony, The Bucks, Hangman, Kenny, HOB, Danhausen, FTR, etc except I do think Jack Perry is a moron but I’ve never really liked him to begin with so that’s probably why.
This also isn’t the first time someone has said Tony isn’t the best communicator.

I also still plan on watching Wrestlemania for the first time in years.

Wrestling is really good right now and I hope this doesn’t delve back into a conflict again here. I don’t want that. I like talking wrestling with you guys.

[henryeatscereal]

CM Punk and AEW were never meant to be, so dumb, because both could have made great feuds and money, but in the end everything was a problem of communication and mismanagement, i hope this interview leaves things alone at last and we all can enjoy the product (or products) we want to enjoy.

[RJK]

Wow they sent Adam Copeland out there to cut a promo to open Dynamite as a retort to CM Punk, wild.
I love AEW but Tony Khan is a mark
