What "swerves" have there been, outside of Strickland? I may be forgetting, but I can't think of any at all.

- Black v Penta was fun but ruined by the fact that we know Black won't be on the show, so the winner was never in doubt.

Not sure this needs the spoiler tag but... Change to a match.

LOL they had to push Mox up the rankings or it was wardlow. 

Mox jumped 4 places this week....

Im hoping against hope Omega is ready to go. The forbidden door Tanahashi now has no one....

Rankings update on a Wednesday before Dynamite. Not only have they bumped up Mox to #1 but they've updated the rankings on the fly on an irregular day just to fit the situation. Wardlow is being robbed

Hoping now we're into the tournament proper  they do something with the lighting or similar to distinguish an Owen Hart tournament match from a regular one given they're just on dynamite / rampage

Was distracted the whole show by the woman in blue about 5/6 rows back on hard cam seemingly falling asleep throughout!!

What (UK) time is Rampage on tonight?

Andrade has a legitimate reason to bin off the AFO given they couldn't stop him from losing this week. Dump the lot of them and let him, reset and go on his own and do what he should've done from day one

Never mind the discount; the first clue they're not making bank was when they laid off the proof reader.

I've enjoyed a lot of his work but Lambert is definitely approaching oh just fuck off already heat.

Would have benefited from a long break imo.

His misogynistic comments make it uncomfortable watching tbh. No need to be insinuating such stuff. Him and Chris Jericho really do pull down the tone and drag wrestling back 20 years. AEW started off better than this and I wish it'd stop.

21, 22, 23, 24, 25

I just find Eddie Kingston so believable when he speaks. To the extent that I wasn't actually certain that, watching live, last week's encounter / interruption was supposed to happen. In the ring.... not so much. Give him a mic however and I'm glued

Someone said it here before but WWE is a TV show with wrestling whereas AEW is a wrestling show on the TV. Makes a big difference for an audience

I don’t get it? Ric Aptitude? Have WWE copyrighted Flair?
Aptitude? This due to him being a Jet Flying son of a gun! 

Just a direct translation I presumed

What's the best way to watch this live?

I've not spotted it before but anyone else see the in arena closed captioning of the commentary booth? At first I thought it was a teleprompter for the team and that production had effed up but realised soon after what it was.. is this something they normally do or is it just specific to some venues?

Ring announcing much improved from Dynamite in my opinion..

On the strength of the reaction in this thread I watched my first ever episode and I can't believe that nobody warned me that the crowd sing along to Jericho's entrance tune. I also can't believe nobody mentioned Haku. 

There's definitely been numerous Haku mentions. But welcome to AEW King Coconut

Are we expecting Matt Cardona to make another AEW appearance to cost Gage the match and continue the GCW feud?

Credit where credit is due, taking JR out of Jacksonville seems to be one of the best things for the show. He's been great the past two weeks. A live crowd and new environments seems to put a spark up his arse.

Agree. But he still seems a bit like he doesn't like the product at times. Think it was half way through the Christian / Hardy match but the JR comment "I'm so glad we have time limits" seemed very sarcastic and snide. It was met with complete silence by Excalibur and Tony Schiavone.

They've got a show in Rochester later this year. As Brodie's hometown I wouldn't be surprised if they did something for that.

Presumably that's the rescheduled date of the taping Brodie was supposed to debut at too.

Very odd stuff. Typical WWE timing if anything comes of it because both promotions couldn't be less shit and irrelevant. 

You mean "more", surely?

Isn't it 14 this season?
