O2 presale was a lot better today, used the Liverpool arena ticket quarter site so no shitty dynamic pricing with ticketmaster, got some decent lower tier seats for 60 quid each for Dynasty. Liverpool arena isn't very big mind so any seat is a decent view to be fair. Going with the wife this time around so should be a good weekend away, roll on February!

Looks like there is pre sale for this tomorrow, I did sign up to AEWInsider which is who the pre sale is for tomorrow, but theres not been any pre sale links sent yet or anything. Liverpool arena and the usual ticketing sites havent updated yet either to confirm anything so its a bit odd.

My great grandad would've been 122 today too

Reigns vs Knight has been confirmed as kicking off the show also which is interesting.

Eh? How are WWE trying to exploit his death exactly? If anyone is its that idiot reporting this! Things like this just serve to undermine genuine stuff that you can criticise and have a pop at WWE for, and as we know there are many. Weird.

Good show, could've been improved by a bit better maych placement, but its one of those PPVs that if you watched it it was entertaining, but if you didnt you didnt really miss much. Aside from the Bucks winning the tag belts there was nothing majorly newsworthy. Pac/Andrade is a good match, but didnt really start the PPV hot, tag titles going here would've got it off to a proper hot start. Obviously can't plan for the Borden injury, but from that to Persephone and the open challenge was a tough watch, if id been watching live id have been fast off by this point. Thankfully from there, and especially from the Brawling Birds match onwards it really picked up and it ended fairly hot. Ospreay/Okada already confirmed for Grand Slam Paris so I expect Dynamite this week to be more of a placeholder/lead in to that show but maybe we'll get some developments, Death Riders related or something else, no idea what the WrestleDream card will look like and its only 3 weeks away so theyll be moving quickly. But yeah, enjoyable if not all that newsworthy.

Sounds like "sign guy", Rick Achberger has died. Red hat, blue shirt, even if he doesn't immediately spring to mind we'll all recognise him. Had some health issues last couple months by all accounts, then declined rapidly. Sad.

The countdown show is a cracker, does a lot of heavy lifting for the Ospreay/Moxley match in particular. Feels like the TV hasn't really managed to tell the story properly but the countdown does a good job of tying it in. It's one of those double edged swords I guess, its frustrating that the TV doesn't tell it, but it also makes these countdown shows so meaningful and must watch. They always leave me more hyped than before. Will watch this tomorrow as no chance I csn be up till 5am or whatever crazy time it finishes, but looking forward to it. Imagine the main event will be full of story. The rest of the card has been built really well, will be a top show.
