2021-05-30 Double or Nothing

 

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening....whenever it is you have found this entry.  I am reviewing tonight's AEW Double or Nothing?  Will Omega keep the title?  Will Sting get hurt?  Who will show up as a surprise?  Will it be a Stadium Stampede or Football Fuckery?  I think we should go find out!

• How does Justin Roberts still have a job?  Did he get caught during #metoo?
• What was that?  How did Cage not hit that move?
• 4 minutes in and Excaliber screamed his first move name
• So the buckle bomb nearly ended Sting's career and you have it in the first match into a ring post.  Yeah modern wrestling
• The refs head is distracting me, it is shaped weird...I also pulled Great Brian Last before starting this show so yeah
• Team Taz may have a second broken neck after that crucifix
• Page makes a really goofy face every once in a while.  
• Wait...is Page going for a moonsault?  I have only seen him do that.....in every match
• Dailys place is a pretty cool location for wrestling with the intimacy but three levels
• It is the first match and we are getting a superplex over the top to the ramp?  Will they need to cut off someone's head to win the Stadium Stampede?  
• Page can kick out of a top rope F-5?  There is no way to defeat Page then unless you shoot him in the head like a zombie I guess
• Seriously if Page is taking this in match one we will see death in the Stampede 
• I love Taz as an announcer.  I think he is the best in the business
• Is there anything cool about the Young Bucks?  Because I do not see it.  They are heels because they are obnoxious
• Seriously?  They are bringing up their tennis shoes?  Dear lord I remember when The Midnight and the RNR feuded over Loverboys Oakleys *eye roll*
• Should Mox have to wear glasses to wrestle?  Bonus points to anyone who got that reference!
• I will say having the fans back in the building is so damn cool and the wide shots are awesome!
• Rumor has it the Bank Addicted Drug Robber Nick Gauge could show up.  Do you think AEW would do that?
• The Bucks seem like the 40-year-olds that hang out at the Frat House still and try to be cool.  
• Is Don Callis wearing some kind of face mask?
• I guess that is not Don Callis at ringside since he is suddenly announcing
• Has the match begun?  Is this a street fight?  I am so confused 
• Oh that is Brandon Cutler of course the Bucks need to have a bunch of gaga
• The bell finally rings?  WTF
• Are the Bucks wearing Sparky Plug Zubas?
• Damn Tony calling out the hair dye on Nicky Boys hair
• Nick's hair reminds me of Shawn Michaels right before he shaved it
• Shut the hell up Excaliber with your random Japanese names
• "All those matches in the backyard" -Tony
• Why is Nick acting like Randy Savage?
• The Young Bucks are a joke
• Did Nick get hair plugs?
• Why did Kingston rotate to throw Nick to Matt?
• Do the Bucks still have gum in their mouth?
• The Bucks sell like Michaels against Hogan
• Did this match really need double heat spots and interference?
• Why does AEW make so many references to WWE?
• Is this match STILL going?
• Nothing will stop most of these wrestlers.  MAYBE a hand grenade up the ass
• I think I had a birthday during that match, dear lord
• Wow, they are having JR call Kenny Omega the best in the world.  Good grief
• Very complicated rules to this, wonder if someone talked to Russo about it
• Dustin is so good and at this point must be 65
• The ramp is an elimination?  That eliminates so many spots!
• Who cares what suit people are.  They do not announce who is what suite ahead of time
• Are the Hot Boy Summer guys in this?  
• Wow that got Luther a payday for Y2J
• Is Serpentico wearing a Blizkreig mask?
• Comoroto looks like Hercules
• Is this the first time Colt has wrestled this year?
• Where is Christian?
• Penta is dressed up like the Joker?  That is cool!
• Matt Hardy can barely move in the ring
• Well that is a great way to have Jungle Boy come into the match
• Thanks for coming Varsity Blondes
• Big Shotty?
• Bad camera work in this match as we have often missed eliminations and things like Christan cage and Powerhouse leaving the ring
• It is time for the Joker....and it is....Lio Rush?
• So Lio Rush in the big surprise?  Yay?
• AEW has an entire roster that will make Rush look like a big man
• The fuck was that?  The Silly String?
• Is Matt doing a crab dance?
• Love the fat guys who cannot wave in rhythm with the rest of the audience
• It is nice to see Jungle Boys kid Marko Stunt got to stay up late to see his dad win
• Marko Stunt looks like a 10-year-old at the Superbowl with his dad.  
• Doing anything to make sure Cody gets cheered I see
• Over/Under on 30 people coming out with Cody.....way under
• Why is Cody dressed like the bad guy on the Boys, Homelander?  
• Oh my god why not just have a light that says applaud like at Disney back in the day for WCW
• Seriously Homelander is the bad guy and Cody is dressed like him
• OLYMPIC SLAM!
• I used to look forward to Cody matches, now I want them to end or just get to their bells and whistles
• Is that fake blood?  Looks fake, the wrong color
• At least the Vertibreaker was the finish.  I expected Ogogo to kick out of that and several other finishes honestly
• I wish Archer would have pulled a Danial Bryan on that POS Justin Roberts.  Choke his kid loving ass out
• If you run yourself into the corner like when you are whipped into them it looks stupid.  Damn Wyatt and Bryan for doing this 
• Archer should not be doing that as a transition move, it is damn amazing and should be pulled out for special moments for a false finish
• How is that not a DQ?  Do the refs not understand the rules?
• This is how Miro should have been booked to start off with.  The Bulgarian Brute. The Monster.
• There is not a snake in that bag, it is a bottles of piss!
• IT IS THE POUUUUUUUUNCE!
• Miro is a star waiting to be born but does AEW understand that with their EVP's in charge?
• I hate when the same people chant both sides of the chant, it is stupid, which sums up most wrestling fans
• Sweet baby Jesus could they shill their own shit anymore on this PPV?
• That was a Frankenstiner Excalibler, not a tieris or whatever the fuck you said.  Get over yourself!
• This match is REALLY sloppy when Shida is in charge
• This match should NOT have followed the Miro match.  They do not really match the intensity and they want to
• More sloppy work
• HOW IS THAT NOT A DQ?
• So Britt is now a babyface right?  
• Did the ref just watch her throw the belt out of the ring?  
• Why have the refs in the ring?
• So a curb stomp on a belt is not the finish?  She can then roll up Britt.  So stupid
• Kenny Omega is playing door basketball?  Jesus he is a loser
• What is this?  I do not care about Darby skateboarding
• Is that the desert that the nWo buried Flair in?
• Oh god is Darby getting picked up?  Oh it is Sting randomly knowing where Darby is
• Seriously what the fuck was that?  
• Also why was there not a midget involved?
• Sting is still hurt from a powerbomb in the ring but a suplex on a stage is a good idea!
• Ummmmm, Eric Bischoff was right....Sting needs to tan!
• Aubrey watched Page sweep Darby's leg and THEN turned toward Sting and yells at him to stay in the corner?  The refs are worthless in AEW
• Also why would Darby go to those ropes right next to Page?  
• Ah yes the Mean Streets of Seattle, second only to the streets of Greenwich!
• Right into his brothers!  
• That was not Bam Bam and Spike Dudley was it?
• Sting is going to drag Darby into the ringside area?  He should be saying to stop the match!
• He sold that for minute or two, that is more than usual in AEW
• Darby has a CHOKEHOLD ref!  The arm is below the chin
• I hate wrestling fans sometimes and their stupid chants
• Why would Aubrey even ask Page to submit?
• I ask again why even have a ref?
• Wait....Orange Cassidy talks?
• Good grief Chuck Taylor has a backpack?
• Seriously?  Does JR mean what he just said about Omega?
• An explosive first step Excaliber?  IT IS A HOP!
• He isn't a hockey goalie, he is a paedophile JR (speaking of Justin Roberts)
• Is that ref a Eunuch?  His voice is about three octives too high
• Three minutes in and we have a double knock down but have 45 finisher kickouts in the future
• How does a double headscissors work since he could not lock his feet around the neck?
• Jesus did he just wrap his thumb in his fist?  Yeah never been in a real fight
• With this being a triple threat is there no DQ?  Because that eunuch ref did not count 
• I wonder how much JR is getting paid?  And is it worth it?
• Oh my god Callis!  JR called Rock, Austin, Michaels, Taker, Flair, Sting, Steamboat, Funk, Midnight Express, Horseman, RNR Express, Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Foley, Orton, Cena, Kane, Triple H, Batista, Lesner, Angle, Trish, Lita and Edge matches.  ANY OF THEM are above ANY Omega match.  Sorry Donny
• I get that Callis is a heel and shill for Omega but fuck he sound stupid
• Omega is SO stupid looking with his stupid facials.  No wonder he hangs out with the Bucks
• So Pockets cannot tie his own drunks to be able to put his hands in his pockets
• More finger jesturing from Omega
• All of this and they have Cassidy do the stupid play kicks?  This is why you cannot take AEW serious
• This is not awesome it is a series of moves with no psychology or real selling
• So every move these guys do has some special name from Excaliber?
• Why did Orange just run like Tina on Bobs Burger?
• Seriously you went into a Full Gear promo and did not get Cassidy is moment after losing?  Who is directing this?
• Wait?  Did they pay Mark to walk out and wave and then talk on Dynamite?
• This is not really Sting coming from the rafters or Shawn Michaels on the zip line is it?
• Good grief how slow and unimpressive was that?
• The fans applauding their own singing of the stupid song!  
• If they were going to ambush the IC I do not think they would rev their engine
• Was the truck missing in one of those shots?
• Jericho should have sung into the megaphone that would really hurt the ears!
• Why was there a megaphone there?
• I guess that coffee was not very hot 
• Is that Urban Myers?
• This reminds me of some WCW shows where Tony and Hudson or Heenan would just laugh at how stupid things were
• Did Wardlow just try to kill Hager?
• Are we suppose to believe that this is linear or that this Wardlow/Hager stuff is happening at the same time as Jericho/MJF?
• Why are there refs if no one goes for the pin?
• Wait...why did he get his own lighting suddenly?
• Did Sammy tell us why he wore the panda head or why he stopped?
• That was not Rey Misterio and Kevin Nash was it?
• Right you pick a chair instead of bolt cutters that you could take off someones fingers.  STUPID!
• It is nice that FTR and LAX paired off.  What if FTR had paired of with Sammy and Ortiz that would not make sense!
• Do let Sammy take you up that scissor lift Shawn!  Ask Matt Hardy
• Oh good some handcuffs, have not seen those in a while
• Oh now the bolt cutters come into play
• These fake fans are going to get in the way?  The ones in the front row when Archer got thrown in the crowd
• OH SHIT IT IS KONNAN?
• More fake shit with the shots and what not
• Konnan looks so bad and crippled up and that is sad
• FTR are the best tag team in the business and this is how they are treated?  Maybe they should have put on the goofy hats in WWE
• Elevator buttons pushed!  
• Those beer bottles exploded way to easily did they not?
• Why didn't Wardlow pin Hager?
• Thank you for explaining it Tony because most people would not know that....well the small audience and smart fans do
• As someone who had something stapled to his hand once it does not hurt nearly that bad
• Piledriver on a solid wood table 
• Why is there a claw hammer in a board room?  I set those up all the time and never once put a hammer in one
• And why is his bat there?  Never mind of course it is there
• Didn't he just hit MJF in the head with a bat?  I have seen that happen to people and they do just stumble away
• Good night Marty....er MJF
• Shouldn't MJF be bleeding from multiple places?  Not one spot on his forehead
• Who in the blue hell are these guys?  And why did they just drive past him?  None of this makes sense!
• I am surprised Jericho didn't take that bump to make up for the cage bump
• You do not think that everyone is going to suddenly fight their way into the arena
• Golf Kart revenge!
• Did both halves of FTR & LAX get into the elevators?
• Because we do not see chair headshots that should have been a hospital angle but a false finish

The first match just had too many false finishes and big move kickouts for the first match.  Honestly Adam Page looked like Super Cena as they used to say.  It was silly and sad because the match was really a good match if you took that away.  Then you have the match about tennis shoes!  This match went WAY to long and the Bucks have go home heat with me.  If I NEVER saw them again that would not be a bad thing.  The Cody match basically buried Ogogo.  You cannot go anywhere with that feud or Ogogo now since he lost clean in his third match.  I would have had an angle where The Factory destroyed Cody, have him gone for six or eight months and have Dustin take the match even though he was already busted open earlier.  Have him fight and lose.  Then have Ogogo DESTROY people for the next six or eight months and getting ready to challenge for a title when Cody returns, screws Ogogo and then beats him.  Instead Ogogo is dead.  Miro could be the next big star if they do not screw it up...which means they probably will.  Britt and Shida were put in a bad spot, they should have followed the Battle Royal where there was less action.  It was sloppy but basically what wrestling has become most of the time.  The problem is it is like they wanted to be a heavyweight fight like the TNT title match but they just do not fit it.  I give up on these matches.  Nothing ends a match, you can get hit with 45 finishes and kick out.  Belt shots.  But 15 seconds in a mandible claw and it is tap tap tap.  Whatever!  The tag team match was what it was, basically a showcase for Sting and Darby to get over.  In case you can not tell I do not like Omega.  I think he is the most overrated wrestler in the business today!  He does nothing special and most of his moves are actually kind of stupid looking.  He makes stuipd faces and points a lot.  Shakes his head a lot like a baby face but is a heel.  He is a fucking joke that is high on the smell of his own shit.  That was so bad and fake looking and all set up.  That made me want to go find last years Money in the Bank match!  I am finishing this up while the fans sing Judas and I am annoyed.  This is wrestling now?  Fuck it is no wonder why I am enjoying 1994, a year most people say is the worst in modern years.  We get more and more Judas but we could not see the reaction of Orange Cassidy getting screwed by Omega?  Fuck Tony Khan and anyone who tells him this shit is good.  Good to great athletes being forced to do horrible shit.  In a word....I didn't like!

2020-06-17 AEW Review

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening....whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today, 2020-06-20, I am checking out the latest AEW Dynamite show from 2020-06-17

• Kenny Omega is out and Adam Page does not get an entrance?  
• So the challengers also do not get an entrance.  Yeah, they are going to win.
• My god Justin Roberts is horrible
• I love me some Dustin Rhodes as those of you who follow my classic reviews know
• Omega just screwed up a drop-down, I have been watching Dustin against enhancement talent in 1994 who could do that 
• Why is Dustin doing flying Frankensteiners?  It is not needed!
• He also just kneed Dustin in the head.  As Dustin's daddy would say Don't do shit you don't know how to do!
• I do like this arena and think AEW would be smart to stay there all the time in my opinion
• It is nice to see QT Marshall get a nice push, he ha always been underrated
• Omega loves to point and gesture 
• Page doing a great hot tag routine
•  Unless you are Fit Finlay you should not do the rolling firemans carry, he is the only person I have seen do it good
• Are Page and Omega the heels here?
• How is Dustin the best performer in AEW?
• Why is QT Marshall doing these moves?  Does everyone have to do dives over the top?
• QT needs to work on his Diamond Cutter but that is one of my favorite versions
• It is the Bunny without the mask....and no longer the bunny...I guess I need to watch Dark
• Good grief that knee looked stiff
• No respect from Omega with that cover, guess the Natural Nightmares push is over
• WTF is Abadon?
• If WWE did that people would be shitting all over it
• Why did they do the Anna Jay segment if she is going to do the JOB
• Okay, so they are going to have Anna Jay join the Dark Order?  I feel like Abadon is a better choice
• The best in the world is coming out!  MJF is better than me and everyone else!
• How is it that old men, guys like Billy and Dustin, are better than most of the roster.  Oh right because they are wrestlers and not "artists"
• Billy has a 9 head going 
• So the best performers in AEW are FTR, MJF, Billy and Dustin.  Throw-in Cody and what do almost all of them, minus MJF, have in common?  Oh right they were trained correctly and spent time in WWE/WCW learning to perform
• It is nice to see Jack Perry brought that little boy to AEW. 
• Mr. Ass is looking really good
• THAT IS NOT RIGHT!  THE REF CANNOT TOUCH A WRESTLER!!!
• MJF has the power of the punch!  Best punch in the business
• That fan should not touch a real man like MJF
• Who is the heavyset guy who cannot keep his pants up?
• Why is Jericho involved with Orange Cassidy?  Is Jericho a comedy act now?
• FRIENDSHIP TIME OUT TONY YOU SON OF A BITCH!
• How is this legal?  Big Swole is literally kidnapping a person!
• That neck tat is awful!
• What the hell did Cody just say?
• Starks need to put on a bit of bulk, looks like a high school kid still in my opinion
• Seriously Justin Roberts is the worst ring announcer ever
• Does Cody have the worst ring gear in AEW?
• I am begging AEW to have a match without a dive.  I dare them actually!
• Starks really is good!
• Starks looked like he did not know what he was doing and Cody was basically walking him through it
• Starks already has a 5 head!
• Starks could be a star if they put him in the ring with guys like Dustin and Billy and let him learn
• Two teams I cannot stand
• The Bucks doing the double bicep is like when Earthquake did it, no real definition
• So the Bucks get what a 30 count in between tags?
• So ref Jimmy Corgan will get into Kip's face for things but the bucks get 30 seconds of double team?
• Okay making Matt flip off his brother popped me
• The Best Tag Team in the World FTR is out!
• Wait...JR is now getting on Havoc for not leaving the ring quickly after a tag?
• ROAD WARRIOR BUCK!!
• I love that the Sharpshooter is a transition spot for the Bucks
• Illegal tag as Nick's feet were not on the mat
• Wait, Matt just splashed Havoc's knees, that is usually a bad thing
• How many finishers are going to be used in this match?
• Road Warrior Buck has injured ribs but can do a double Northern Lights...Okay
• FTR should just beat the hell out of The Bucks
• Yeah, Taz is a body guy ha ha
• Is Mox trying to channel Heath Ledgers Joker at times?
• Seriously how does Justin Roberts have a job?
• Why did Chuck take his shirt off?  
• I realize that wrestlers does not need to have bodies like Billy or Brian Cage but Chuck and Jericho to a certain extent really look out of shape.  Jericho at least has age as a reason Chuck has never looked good in his career.  
• Oh and for the record I am a fat ass but I am not on TV with my shirt off or a professional athlete
• Matt Hardy does not have a career as an announcer after he stops wrestling
• If Trent would get away from Chuck he could be a major star in my opinion.  Give him a personality and maybe a manager and we are off to the races!
• This is easily the best match for the Best Friends and this is because of Jericho.  Again it shows that Jericho and the vets are what we need more of and Omega and their ilk we need less of
• Chuck looks like he is about to pass out, he is as red as Shane McMahon in a match!
• Looks like me after running a few miles
• Really?  Someone is going to fight out of the Lion Tamer?  Seriously?
• Who in the blue hell is legal?
• Good grief Chuck has man boobs!
• Orange Cassidy is the most unintimidating person ever I think

A good show but why does every match go 20 minutes with 20 false finishes?  That is the major complaint I have for this show.  It is big move after big move with kickout after kickout.  Overall a fun show for the most part minus the Bucks.  I just cannot get into them.  They are not believable at all and I am sorry if people disagree with me.  The idea of Colt Cabana and Anna Jay with the Dark Order has me slighting interested in them.  MJF is the man!  Jericho, while out of shape, is still better than 90% of the roster.  I will be watching next week and will continue to review when I can.  Until next time....Abyssinia!

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.

AEW Dynamite Week 2: 2019-10-09

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening.....whenever it is you have found this entry.  Today I am watching the 2nd episode of AEW Dynamite.  Nothing more to say so let's go to the show!

• Starting off with some tag team action!  
• Uggg, I do not like Justin Roberts.  Did not in WWE and I do not now!
• Nice neckbeard there Matty boy
• 12 seconds with both men in the ring!
• Nicky Boy has an 8 head!  Just cut your hair off son
• 15 seconds that time.  Did they not say the rules would matter?
• Seriously how long can both men be in the ring?  Is it a tornado match?
• That should be the end of Kassidy, if he comes back it is just plain and simply dumb
• This is a basic Bucks match with very little psychology fans
• How do wins and loses count JR?  The Bucks are on a two-match losing streak yet they are ranked number one in the tourney?
• And of course Kassidy is back up
• So are the Bucks good guys or bad guys or "tweeners"?  Personally, they will always be heels to me!
• I hate it when guys turn their backs on their opponent.  Someone said how much Vince McMahon hates it and now I can not not see it!
• Why would he crawl to the opposite side of the ring?
• Also, when did the Sharpshooter become a basic move?
• Quen needs a better haircut!
• YES!  Bucks lose!
• Here comes Y2J....can I call him that or will I get sued?
• I hate their belt design, looks like the old Mid-South North American Title
• Good grief I want to slap Sammy.  PULL UP YOUR PANTS!
• The worst version of LAX?
• Wow Jericho is on fire!
• Uggg, why are the fans excited that Jericho just bashed them.  I HATE SMART FANS!
• The Inner Circle?  Really?
• Calling Dusty a jerk?  Great heat move
• Full Gear?  Stupid name
• Time for garbage wrestling!
• Wait...wins and loses matters yet I have not seen either of these guys win yet they are in a number one contender's match?
• I hope they do not do their garbage crap here
• Good grief that was ugly and sloppy
• This match seems slow
• That DVD into the Buckle is stupid but they did it very safely!
• Nice use of the Coffin Drop and the match was better than I expected.  At least no garbage hardcore crap
• I just cannot buy Riho when she is smaller than most high school kids
• Baker is almost orange unless it is my TV
• I am sorry but should I care about this tag match?  Not what I would put on at the hour 
• We have seen a stunner in all three matches
• Nice submission combo!  Rings of Saturn with a Mandible Claw.  Different and well done
• OH GOD!  I hate these guys.  The Best Friends my ass....and Pockets is there!
• Is this a heel vs. heel match?
• Very good question by PAC
• It is weird to have Tully at ringside still
• We are seeing a lot of repeat big moves tonight which is weird
• Seriously are there rules in AEW?
• Is Omega the Cleaner again?  Really picked the broom over the ball bat?  He is a moron
• Nice chaps there Hangman!
• Seriously Dustin has been wrestling since the late 80's!  He looks better than ever!
• I do not get Sammy.  Not who I would have picked to be the kid who is pushed but not my call obviously ha ha
• Shades of Stan Hansen there!  Love the lariat
• I do not think I have seen Dustin do that sunset flip bomb before!
• Love me some MJF!
• Oh my god, seriously he used a skateboard to come down and attack Y2J!

I would say this was a good show.  The Darby match and the ladies match was a bit of a drag for me.  Plus I hope we do not see a brawl at the end of every show.  It got old with the nWo and it will get old her as well.  

The main event was fantastic but with Y2J and Goldie in it what do you expect!

Overall a step down from last week but it would be hard to keep up.  

Until next time....Abyssinia!

2019-10-02 AEW Dynamite Review

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, whenever it is you find this.  I have returned after a long LONG absence of blogging.  Work and private life got real hectic real fast but I back....and better than ever!

I return to review the first-ever AEW show that happened tis past Wednesday night.  If you are new to my blog and reviews I will give you my thoughts as I watch it and then give you a summary afterwards.

So lets get to the tape as it were for the debut of AEW Dynamite!

• Why are there so many table sops in their opening?  Good grief!
• I know some don't like Excalibers look, but I think it is different although a little goofy with the mask
• Of course, we start off a Rhodes promotion with a Rhodes!  Dusty would be proud for some many reasons
• Wait...what is the difference between your life and your career Sammy?
• OH MY GOD, I cannot take Sammy serious if he is wearing that stupid polar bear outfit thing, Cody better beat him in about 30 seconds if he wears that!
• Brandi might be the most beautiful woman in wrestling today
• Good grief Sammy looks like a bad stripper hired for a rednecks bachelorette party
• Sammy is a great athlete but looks so silly
• I love having a female official, but it should be ladies for ladies and men for men, but that probably makes me an old man
• Vlogger?  Good grief!
• The delayed suplex is great but overdone.  It used to be special when Davey Boy did it
• Uggg, I hate the AEW crowd and their noise
• Huh?  Run through the house with a pickle in his mouth?
• Really?  A Brandi bump early on?  I hope they are strapping the rocket on this Sammy kid because if not...
• Cody needed to sell that inverted superplex a minute more
• Cody does not stand a chance if it takes him this much to beat Sammy
• I do not like Justin Roberts voice as a ring announcer
• Tony Schiavone looks GREAT!
• Why did Cody just keep talking to Sammy as the fans starting freaking out?
• Interesting they want to commercial but kept the attack going
• Jericho's "sleeve" looks awful....well most do honestly
• This attack is taking forever.  I thought this stuff was supposed to NOT happen in AEW.  Rules matter right?
• Love the stagehand shoving Jericho around, great camera work boys
• WTF IS BRANDON CUTLER?!?!  He looks like a bad jobber from the '80s
• Really a friend of the Young Bucks?
• Here is the biggest star in AEW, MJF!  
• Good grief he does have a D&D shirt!
• Really Excaliber?  Talking about D&D WAY too much, hope WotC paid for that!
• Two matches two dives....hopefully we will see a superkick at some point
• Love it, he cheated to win and we all know he did not need to, is he the only true heel in wrestling?
• Who is this horrible interviewer?  He is awful!
• Well that segment was Raw Host bad
• Scorpio does a pretty good Obama!
• Are SCU faces or heels?
• Another wasted segment.  Its like Thunder here!
• Wait, what is Aubrey doing?  If Daniels cannot push her around how can he do anything!  COME ON!
• How great is PAC?  Honestly, AEW has some of the best heels going today
• Is Earl Hebner the oldest official in wrestling ever?
• Second running Shoot Star Press, we should not be seeing repeat big moves like that in my opinion
• Is PAC the best wrestler in the world right now?
• Riho is just not believable as a challenger to ANYONE
• How many people are going to turn their backs on their opponents?
• Seriously this is just weird to see someone the size of a child beating up a full-grown adult
• So there are no rules in AEW, got it
• Yep, Riho gets the win because that makes sense, 98-pound champion who looks like a schoolgirl.  Guess you got to keep those Anime fans somehow
• Speaking of school kids here comes the Young Bucks....well the one looks like a balding school kid
• Only one of these six looks like stars and he is the champion!
• Omega would if he didn't shake his head and point around all time.  
• Jim Cornette talks about it and calls it jazz hands
• Wow superkicks by the bucks, really some unique stuff
• Why would you want to jump through your brothers legs?
• Omega is taking literally 30 seconds to do something
• WHERE IS THE BELL?  No rules again
• VIP area that is just next to the bar and no one is in it?
• Why would Moxley go through it too?  He went through the glass before Kenny boy
• Really?  So a bad back he can suplex TWO guys at once?  
• Nick needs to cut his hair, good grief he almost has a skullet that Heyman would be proud of!
• nWo style brawl to end the show
• Where is MJF to help Cody...both times?

An excellent to a very good show.  I am shocked by how much I enjoyed the show since I have not enjoyed most of their pay per views.  I think the stars gave too much too the others but seeing the end of the show made more sense on the Sammy stuff earlier.  Looks like it is going to be a big push for LAX and Sammy which will be interesting when you have real men like Hager who tower over most of the roster.  Overall I'd give the show a 4/5, very good.  However like WWE tweeted out, it is a marathon not a sprint.  Lets see what I am saying come first of the year or this time next year!  

However from a wrestling fans standpoint, we now have AEW, Raw, Smackdown, NXT, NXT UK, Impact on AXS and NJPW all airing in the US.  Plus NWA and OVW both regularly on YouTube (next week for the NWA).  It is an excellent time to be a fan of pro wrestling boys and girls and this fat man is very very happy!
