I'm loving Bryan Keith's bounty hunter gimmick. Gives off Django vibes.
Arresting people for weed in 2023 is stupid.
I agree! Love his work!
That final 5 min sequence between Fletcher and Komander was excellent!
They both fucked up that spot. When a spot doesn't go as planned they got to learn to ditch the spot altogether than try to force it.
Yeah, they should have called an audible. It's one thing if it's a taped match, where it could be edited to be seamless, but live? Call an audible.
Well damn! I was wrong! Athena retains! Thought for sure she was dropping the title tonight.
The person who made that twitter post doesn't understand the context of what bangers are. 98% of what is labeled as banger matches have some story or build behind it. It's usually a match off of a ppv paying off a feud or story. An example of this would be the two matches Omega and Ospreay had at WrestleKingdom and Forbidden Door this year. Somehow the meaning of "banger matches" has been misconstrued by misinformed wrestling fans be something negative when it's not.
When someone says I rather watch a meaningful match over a banger match they're missing the whole point. A banger match is a meaningful match. It's 2023 and you have people on twitter actually criticizing the efforts of wrestlers who entertain fans with high quality matches. What is the world coming to?
Lolz what was the story and emotional payoff of this "banger" match?
I went back and watched this week AEW Dynamite...It was a good show!!....The matches were good and the crowd was hype and enjoy the matches as well...That match with Hangman vs Rodrick Strong was good and also the match with Jay White vs Mark Briscoe was good...This Tournament has been really good!!... 
..That segment with The Golden Jets and Rick Starks/Big Bill was good....I'm upset with the Moxley vs Swerve match..It was a damn good match but I really want Swerve to win it....
It was a good show!!...looking forward to this ppv that's is coming up!!..

To be honest, Warlow started to get boring when he left MJF...I hate when they took the TNT belt off of Powerhouse Hobbs and give it back to Warlow..that shit had me upset!!
AGAIN wrestlers in 2023 are actually being criticized for working hard to have good matches.
But YOU called that match a banger. I was asking, what was the story and emotional payoff of said match?
I enjoyed the story they told IN THE RING. Earlier in the match both wrestlers tried to psyche each other out by playing mind games. As the matched progressed Garica tried to overwhelm Christian by keeping the match mat based however Christian was able to make some adjustments and change the momentum of the match with well timed counters. He also turned up his intensity on his offense with stiffer strikes which led to Garcia matching that intensity with stiffness of his own.
As things progressed throughout the the second and third act of the match Garcia looked visibly weary. The announcers mentioned that Garcia would have to run the table to have a shot at winning the Continental tournament. Perhaps that fact was weighing on his mind as he has a tournament match tomorrow on Collision.
Christian caught Garcia with a great running Spanish Fly spot that put him further in control. Christian however screwed up by going for a springboard 450 which Garcia countered into a knee lock transitioned into an ankle lock. In the ending sequence Christian mocked Garcia's goofy dance but was caught with a Dragon tammer for the win.
For a pre-show match it did what it needed to do. Tell a good in ring story and setup the main show.
Yeah, I remember those. They were delicious. The "cookie" that sandwiched the ice cream hit just right.

Yeah, used to get them from the ice cream truck on my block. They were regular as fuck if I'm being honest.
A few things to unpack here.
- It looks like Skye Blue has finally turned full heel and has joined Julia Hart
- Props to Abadon for working on her craft and getting better in the ring. She's starting to see more tv time as a result.
- THUNDER ROSA is finally back!

Making it no DQ only means there's gonna be MORE fuckery interference involved. Can we get a clean fucking finish? Book like you have some balls TK.
Absolutely love his work. Everything works with him. The gimmick, ring work, the music!
I don't know what TK is waiting for. Get Mariah in the ring!
