The viewership dipped a little from last week but still in the high 700,000's. Got to get Jericho off the show. For the most part all the Dynamite shows have been good since "Forbidden Door". Where they've improved a lot is in storyline direction and purpose. Everything seems more focused. No more random segments or matches. They're on the right track they just got to keep building on it.


Waiting for those 1/4 hours
 
His little rant there about WWE PR is telling. He's like Chump, already planting seeds to put the blame on others for his own failures.
This is one of my problems with him, he can't just let shit be, and prove mutha fuckas wrong if it's the case, he has to address every fuckin thing like a petulant child, well, with the exception of issues in his company, seems to refuse to address those, but I digress...
 
I read that as his WRESTLING contract expiring. He probably has a separate contract working backstage in some capacity.

He's on the committee that got rid of CM Punk. Haven't watched AEW since

There are wrestlers who have dual jobs in AEW. Christopher Daniels for example is the head of Talent relations as well as being a in-ring performer. Danielson probably has a similar deal.

On another note it wouldn't make much sense for him to show up at Summerslam when he has a World title match against Swerve at "All In".

I heard is that Danielson is the creative director for AEW Collision!!...The position that they gave to CM Punk when he was at AEW!!...
 
Pretty cool, I always felt Japanese crowds were very reserved.

I still remember the hype train when Shinsuke got signed by WWE. I never heard of him or strong style wrestling, but I remember this thread jumping like crazy.

Can we all agree that WWE has NEVER really used him correctly. They've come close a few times, but they always drop the ball. Then it back to jobbing to mid carder again for a few months. Or not even being featured on TV.

That is more than half the reason why I don't get hype whenever people in here are trying to hype up these Japanese wrestlers coming over to AEW or NXT.

American promoters rarely ever use them correctly, so what's the point :dunno:

Yeah, I don't think he ever got used correctly on the main roster either. NXT, yes. He had his moments on the main roster but I think his lack of English language has held him back. I loved when they were doing promos with subtitles late last year/earlier this year, but that was too little too late.

Also, I think a lot of it has to do with his look. If he put on some muscle, it would have helped him, wearing those body suits to hide his skinny fat appearance does him no favors, Sami can get away with it because he can talk.

He's basically an enhancement talent at this point.

All the matches I've seen out of him here in the states, he looks old and broken down just like a lot of these Japanese stars that go to AEW.
He may have been great when he was younger in Japan, but all that strong style and stiff work catches up with you eventually.

I hadn't thought of it like that, but you may have a point there. Speaking of which ....


Can we talk about Randy Orton?!?!?!
With his history of neck, back, & spinal injuries, you'd think he'd slow it down or at least switch up his moveset.

I can't watch his matches anymore. Seeing him do that snap DDT off the ropes is cringe now. He's dropping directly onto his back with little to no protection :smh::smh:

Randy has changed his style a bit since he returned from injury.
I can definitely tell he's slowed down and doesn't move around as quickly as he did when he was younger.
As the saying goes "Father time does no jobs", shit catches up with everyone eventually
Look at okada, watch at his matches in Japan vs Omega and look at the way he moves around now and it's night and day, he moves around like a 50 year old these days at aew, Sad to see. Shit is brutal
Yeah, Okada is definitely one of the guys I was talking about. He looks old and slow now.
And don't even get me started on that senior citizen they wheel out on occasion, the same one who had the chop fest with Jericho the other night on Dynamite :smh:
The AEW fans are popping for what these guys used to be and not what they are in the ring currently.

His best days are definitely behind him. Omega might be able to get one last great match out of him but he's on cruise control now.

Agreed. TK needs to stop booking Minoru Suzuki. You watch one Suzuki match you watched them all. Chop, chop, chop, Gotch style piledriver! The end.

The one Japanese guy that TK should be pushing to the moon but for some reason won't pull the trigger on is Konosuke Takeshita.

I agree!!....To me, Takeshita is the best Japanese wrestler on AEW!!...Takeshita should have been hold a AEW title by now!!..TNT or International Title!!..

I’m not sure how you use them correctly though. They work great in Japan. In America? They wrestling is always going to be a niche.
