More Young Bucks running (ruining) the tag team division and purposely keeping FTR down so they don't present a threat to them.

Fortunately Jay Briscoe said that shit about gay people years ago or there would be more competition.

 

[blackman80]

Fantastic match between FTR and The Acclaimed. The Acclaimed retains. They're still white hot so it wouldn't have made sense to take the belts off of them yet. Overall this has been a good Dynamite. Very focused show.

Mastermind2002, I'm with you..This was a damn good Dynamite show this week!!..

Really enjoyed seeing Starks style on one of the best heels in years.


That segment was even more effective with MJF just standing there and not interrupting.

Ricky Starks reflects on promo segment with MJF, says he winged it

Mercedes Varnado/Sasha Banks update, Mickie James' Last Rodeo note, Zak Zodiac's thoughts on family film, Apollo talks NXT Vengeance Day

www.postwrestling.com

** After winning the Dynamite Diamond Ring Battle Royale on the 12/7 AEW Dynamite, Ricky Starks came face-to-face with AEW World Champion MJF who he’ll be facing at Winter Is Coming. They had a promo segment that was capped off with Starks spearing MJF. Ricky spoke to Liam Crowley of Comicbook.com about his promo. Initially, Starks mapped it out entirely but after hearing what MJF had to say, he decided to scrap what he planned and winged it.

I think you’ll hear a lot of wrestlers say, oh, I didn’t think of it. I didn’t plan it out, I didn’t write it out. And Cody [Rhodes] makes the same joke, but that’s bull. Even the best promos had to have some type of structure to them. And I am somewhat in the same way, admittedly. I’m not one to really pull back the curtain on anything here, but yesterday, earlier in the day, I had wrote out this whole thing, and in my head memorized it and did all this, and stressed myself out, and then had a match to do. Anything could have gone wrong where I just forget it in the match.
I remember Max cutting that promo and saying these comments, and in that moment I was like, I’ll just wing it. I’ll just wing it. I know where I want to go and what I want to get to, and I’ll just fill in the blanks. So what you saw out there was me winging it. That’s how I operate. Yes, I can come up with some lines and think about it, but for the most part, whatever I feel, I just say, and it comes off in that moment.
I’m not a stranger to this type of reception to a promo I’ve done. Earlier in the year, after I lost the title to HOOK, I had a similar promo. The common theme between all that is it’s just me really speaking from the heart in every single instance.

I found this part in the Tony Schiavone article to be funny as hell.

“I’m also one that will get with wrestlers, and when two wrestlers have a problem with each other, I’m kind of the person that talks to him. So here I come in, say, ‘Okay, you f*ckers, get the f*ck together. We’ve got a f*cking TV show (to do)’.”

Is that how you do it Tony?

 

[Mastermind2002]

I wouldn't be against it. Have Roman beat the Rock in Night 1 and lose to Cody in Night 2.

 

[Mastermind2002]

If TK did manage to secure Mercedes it wouldn't move the needle for me at all. I'm more interested in seeing her wrestle in Japan than anything she would do in AEW or WWE. Both WWE and AEW's Women's divisions are the drizzling shits. Mercedes should just be a freelancer for awhile and not commit to WWE or AEW.

 

[Mastermind2002]

Probably had him jobbing to Orange Cassidy and he said fuck that.

If true, that's what I was leaning towards with my comment on him squashing Orange Cassidy. Fucking shame AEW cannot do anything with him.

How long is his deal with AEW until? He needs to go back to WWE ASAP.

I wouldn't be against him going back to the WWE if he got to keep the Redeemer gimmick. If he goes back as Rusev then it's a big meh from me.

Yes it was brother Helico-pterFunk!!..That was a damn good segment!!..Both of them was on point on the promo!!..

Mystery partner is Nia Jax, She will be the one to beat Jade She is the only one big enough to knock Jade down.
Statlander is not it and all of the other women are too small

 

[XXXplosive]

Oh god, just when I thought the AEW women's division couldn't get any worse

 

[Mastermind2002]

C'mon bro you actually want to see a Nia Jax/Jade match? That's bad booking at its worse. Nobody's beating Jade until Statlander gets back healthy. If Mercedes comes to AEW she's not going to go after a secondary title to face Jade she's going to go after the world title and become the face of the division.

 

[ThaBurgerPimp]

I know Excalibur will be glad when Regal's gone

 

[Mastermind2002]

Jon Moxley vs. Konosuke Takeshita: Wow, this was fantastic. I'm a big fan of Takeshita's work. Super explosive in the ring with good charisma. If booked properly could be one of the bigger babyfaces in the company. Won't be watching the rest of Rampage. This is all I wanted to see.

 

[0utsyder]

So then you have another woman that nobody can really beat? AEW has created a female Goldberg. Her outfits are more compelling than her matches. I called the Nyla Rose program which was funny to watch, but Jade over powered her? Like this title reign is starting to lose its luster.

Throwing Nia Jax in there just to create another woman that lumbers and over powers her opponents, just seems like we just got out of that program!

 

[Mastermind2002]

Pretty much!

Nia Jax vs Jade is going to be billed like Hogan vs Andre the Giant. Nia has credentials as a former world champion former tag team champion. She brings size and power plus wrestling heritage on her side. Average Wrestlers often go to other promotions from WWE and become the big fish in a small pond and can become a top guy.

Jade in AEW is like Moose in Impact wrestling.
Their size looks more like a WWE superstar and they look too big and clumsy for the smaller Wrestlers in their respective promotions.

Jade vs Bianca
Jade vs Raquel
Jade vs Charlotte
Jade vs Lacey Evans

Moose vs Kross
Moose vs McIntyre
Moose vs Lashley
Moose vs Gunther

Here's an example everything Will Osprey and Kenny Omega can do in the ring so can Riccochet. Somehow the WWE product size, match flow and story telling is better. It's like NBA vs BIG 3 yes everybody can dribble and shoot a basketball but the BIG 3 are players that are no longer in the NBA or was good in college (independents) but never really made it in WWE. Both can be entertaining and there is a place for both.
