2020-01-01 AEW Review

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening....whenever it is you have found this review.  We are going back to the first of the year and AEW Dynamite.  I know that we have the Elite in action but beyond that I do not know/remember so lets get to the ring!

• Taz is here!  That is awesome as I love me some Human Suplex Machine!
• What in the hell is this?  Is that a Cody "mask"?
• Are they trying to out WWE the WWE here?
• My god they are the reincarnation of WCW, they did not turn on the ring announcer mics
• We are five minutes in and the second WTF moment!  Wow
• Its Double A!  AWESOME!
• Head Coach of the Nightmare Family?  What in the blue hell does that mean?
• Is Aubrey the best ref in the business right now?  One of the few bright spots of AEW in my opinion
• Did they ever explain the weird face paint of Allin?
• Allin needs to put on probably 30 pounds to be believable in my opinion if he is going to be in the ring with people of star size
• I love Arn holding the paper up over his mouth like a real coach so no lip reading.  Excaliber talking about it is good
• I know other people out there, like my Cult Leader Jim Cornette, hate Excaliber but he does have great points at times.  But he does look really stupid in the mask
• I love that Arn just stared at Darby and did not back down because he is bigger then he is!
• I think the Diaster Kick is such an underrated move
• That modified Rings of Saturn looked very painful
• I do love the ramp in this arena.  Always loved it when WCW did that ramp too
• Rhodes?  Oh you are going to get AEW SUED!
• They really give Darby way too much offence, I know they are building the kid but not at Cody's expense
• I cannot wait to see the Snowpiercer series!
• Who do you think Arn is going to turn on Cody for?  Also, why did Dustin allow this partnership since Arn turned on Dustin years ago
• That is just stupid because would that help Darby
• Sorry JR but Cody did not get his knees up, I think he was supposed to but he did not
• How is Cody going to beat MJF if he cannot beat Darby with his finisher?
• Got his knees up that time!
• Took way too much for Cody to win
• Time for some Women's action
• Nyla Rose has put on some weight or her ring gear has changed
• Riho just looks awkward coming out, like a teen in their first play
• 30 seconds in and the monster of the division is already on her back?  Who is booking this!?
• Is this no DQ because its a four-way?  They did not say that
• Nyla and Shida just standing there looking....sigh
• Is Billy Corgan the official here?
• It was a knee not a guillotine Excaliber.  It was to the side of her head
• My god, that was not good, looked like it might have actually hurt Nyla
• Britt did not have that Hells Gate set up correctly 
• This is not the WWE women's division
• The Young Bucks are pissed in the back that their move was just used...SUPERKICK!
• Did JR just say Porn Wood?  Joking I know he did not
• Seriously?  I guess Nyla Rose is just a giant jobber like Mike Shaw in WWF
• Britt needs to have a glove on for the Lockjaw, I hope they do that in the future
• Wow, nothing like showing the cameraman in the shot WCW...er....AEW
• Look at Dustin tower over everyone
• joindarkorder.com, bet that has a bunch of hits
• Why does Trent not have a name?
• What is with the hand holding?  I do not get it!
• Also, I do not get Orange Cassidy
• Have I ever said how much I hate Justin Roberts as a ring announcer
• Wow the chops sound brutal
• This is a stiff stiff match
• Does every match have to go through a break with AEW?
• I feel like I have had a birthday during this show!
• I do have to say that JR seems to be having fun announcing
• Trent is a hell of a performer.  AEW does have some great performers 
• Implant buster!
• Why is Cassidy allowed to get in the ring?  
• Sammy has such a punchable face!
• Really?  The old here is a car if you join us gimmick?
• If it is registered to Moxley how is Chris driving it legally?
• Here comes the man who refuses to age Dustin Rhodes
• Did he just spank Sammy?
• Dustin has caught the do too much syndrome 
• Jake Hagger has the best contract ever!  Has yet to wrestle yet is on TV every week
• Seriously every match goes through a break!
• Ugly spinebuster by Dustin
• Seriously a Destroyer on the apron.  That should be a damn career-ending leaving the company move not a damn transition move
• I love MJF, he is never NOT in character.  Follow him on social media it is awesome
• This is the longer show ever!
• So what if MJF pees sitting down
• How great is MJF, is there a better heel around?  The answer is NO!
• How dumb is the name Wardlow
• Great they just played music over Luchasaurus
• Britt is turning heel!
• Why is Pac a bastard?
• Did Olivier dye his hair?
• Olivier should destroy Pentagon during that weird ritual
• Pentagon does not use the most psychology in the ring but I do really like him for some reason
• I hope his headband does not fall off, because he has an 8 head at this point!
• Fenix seems off here for some reason
• This is the choreographed section of our show sadly
• Is Pac the best athlete in AEW?
• Pac makes it look like an actual fight
• WTF, seriously?  This is stupid.  3 destroyers in 90 seconds and no finish
• Pentagon just watched Pac get a powerbomb so he could make the save.  Why not stop the powerbomb?
• Why were the Buck hugging in the ring?

The worst part of the show is that it looks so fake at times.  Look at the Women's match and the main event.  So often people are standing around waiting for something to happen.  MJF is the best performer in the business today hands down.  Cody and Dustin are right there as well.  Overall the show as....well there and really long.  Great athletes but it feels like a really long indy show at times.
