This episode came on when i was at party at the house of my neighbors down the street(the parents went out while the kids threw it)..had to watch it on the tv in the parent's master bedroom
CM Punk & Jon Moxley/FTR match was pretty good. Punk gets his rematch with MJF.
I HATE that USO motherfcuker!!!
I was impressed as well. Tony should definitely bring her back. That shooting star press was beautiful.
FCUK YOU JUST FOR THIS GIF!!!!
I had to laugh and include it when I was calling up pics & GIF matches.
He is living the good life.
HELLO!
Fantastic Dynamite tonight. Tony delivered on the surprises. The way he was hyping it up I knew it couldn't be just Keith Lee debuting. We also get "Switchblade" Jay White. Nice tag match between CM Punk & Jon Moxley vs FTR. Two women matches which is first on Dynamite and a good old bloody championship match between Lance Archer and Hangman Page. Shows like tonight is why I love AEW. What a night!
Decent show by AEW.
Just a few notes.
Keith Lee looked rusty to me. Nice to see him competing again, but his timing looked off on some of his selling. There was a move where the brother from Private Party dove on top of him over the ropes in the outside apron and Lee went down before dude made contact.
That and there was another spot in the ring as well.
Hope he drops weight though. I was halfway joking earlier in the thread but bruh looks to have added significant weight.
Cargil is green, we all know this but her matches are all rinse repeat. I know she has like 30 total matches, but her lack of ring work is lacking and just doesn't make her matches exciting. Like a Goldberg match during his "streak period" you know exactly how the match will go and there isn't anything fun about it.
The main event, just got boring after a while. I've never been a fan of "death" matches and perhaps I'm just immune to seeing blood flow since im in my mid 40s, I just lost interest in the match by the time Jake showed up and tried getting involved.
Maybe it's because I just don't buy into Hangman being a main eventer.
Lolz the AEW title belt is damn near the same size as Adam Cole.

S/O Gabby Ortiz, I like her little thick ass
I like all the seeds they planted tonight - all the branches they could go with the Bullet Club/Elite storyline, Jay White vs. Omega that never concluded in Impact, Penta Dark from Lucha Underground, Matt Hardy leaving the Lee match exactly how Jeff Hardy left his last WWE match thru the audience. And then Andrade vs. Sammy vs. Darby match at Revolution?
Then all the potential Jay White matches they could have, I want Jay White vs. Danielson somehow, I don't care how they set it up.
And I'm so happy for Keith, man. Let's not forget that this brother was on his deathbed last year and came back only to be stripped of his character and fired along side his woman who held him down, to marrying his woman and getting a new job and having a great coming out party of a match in the same week.

Never even heard of the guy.... lolz hasn't AEW been have a working relationship with NJPW? WTF is so "forbidden" about this?That was the hyped up "forbidden door" debut TK was hyping up?
The guy might be a great worker, who knows, but to act like everyone tuning in will instantly know him is just another example of TK mostly catering to the hardcore fans. And then they wonder why they can't break through in the ratings other than debuts from ex-WWE guys.
But it was marketed to people who would most likely know who he is. If you're watching Busted Open or other wrestling related show. There is a good chance you know who Jay White is. He didn't go on a "Good Morning America" and push this. He went to hardcore wrestling fans mediums and promoted this.

Yes sir! Jay is one of the top guys in New Japan. A Former IWGP Heavyweight Champion. Superb worker and fantastic heel. His appearance is a big deal to the hardcore base fan like me that AEW appeals to.
You don't watch New Japan so you wouldn't know who he is.
I think the concept around the "forbidden door" is although AEW has a working relationship with New Japan none of their top stars have appeared on Dynamite until last night so whenever one does appear it's labed as walking through the forbidden door.
It would be the same if Kazuchika Okada, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kota Ibushi, Tetsuya Naito, Will Ospreay or Shingo Takagi appeared on Dynamite. All top main event guys in New Japan.
I personally don't care about ratings. If you get too caught up in appealing to casual fans and chasing ratings you'll start to lose your identity and your hardcore base. Then your product just turns into another boring ass WWE knockoff.
You may not care about ratings, but the Turner folks paying TK do.
There's a reason why promotions like Impact, ROH, ECW, etc. that only cater to the hardcore fans have a hard time getting prime TV deals and end up either going out of business or wallowing in obscurity.
