Pinc Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) The wins and losses work fine. Wins and losses matter in boxing and UFC but its not literally the person with the best win percentage getting the title shot every time. Real life bookers booking real sports account for box office as well so its fine for wrestling bookers to do the same in storylines. Christ. Edited November 6, 2019 by Pinc
UK Kat Von D Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 MJF was amazing as commentator. They should have introduced him in a non-wrestling role, just let him chat shit about the all faces for months before someone has enough and drags him in the ring
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted November 7, 2019 Paid Members Posted November 7, 2019 Just noticed there is just the Friday night showing of AEW on ITV 4 now. No ITV hi lights. also Jericho’s promo video tonight on dynamite is fucking hilarious!
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted November 7, 2019 Paid Members Posted November 7, 2019 Cody's promo was fucking tremendous.
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted November 7, 2019 Paid Members Posted November 7, 2019 As was this
Paid Members GlennCullen Posted November 7, 2019 Paid Members Posted November 7, 2019 Cody gave the promo of his life there, top class. Add in the best end to a TV show in years, and this was a total home run leading into the PPV.
WyattSheepMask Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 So who dropped the massive bollock at the end of that PAC/Trent match? Trent for not kicking out or Remsburg for stopping the count? Great promo from Cody, and much love to the guy with the ‘Fozzy Sucks’ sign
DavidB6937 Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Great show overall, especially the Jericho stuff (same as every week to be honest, he's on fire) and Cody's promo. The way Cody has presented himself in recent years is a real testament to his self belief. He's still fairly middling in the ring but he's damn good at selling a match and his feuds. I could do without some fans online trying to sell Dynamite as the best thing in 20 years or the best thing ever etc. It has moments of greatness, and they're doing a solid job of delivering week on week, but they're clearly still a new company and learning as they go along. And that's fine. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I guess I can't fault a company that has managed to create such a passionate fanbase really.
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted November 7, 2019 Paid Members Posted November 7, 2019 That’s probably the best go home show end to an episode of seen in years. All the main matches got featured. That was great
Factotum Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Well that was another blinder. Jericho gets better every week and Cody's promo was perfect. This feels like a big match. Cody just knows how to bloody sell a match.
Yakashi Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 The jericho video is the funniest thing I've seen in years. Howled at virgil and calling jericho the youngest AEW champion of all time. Just amazing. Imagine booing this man.
The King of Old School Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 There doesn't seem to be an overload of matches booked for Full Gear. I hope they take the opposite of WWE's approach and just have 7 or 8 matches on a 3 hour show, would be very refreshing after the last 4/5 years of 4/5 hour events where everybody possible gets on the card.

Yeah and that's my only gripe with this great stuff he's been doing - aren't we meant to boo him? Or am I just being an old fart about it?
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted November 7, 2019 Paid Members Posted November 7, 2019 I really enjoyed that! Minor quibbles aside (PAC/Trent botched finish, barbed wire fucking broom, some matches meandered and felt too long), the crowd was hot, the roster felt over, the action never let up, great promos and video packages, feuds everywhere & there was a sense of unpredictability in the air. Best PPV go-home show I've seen in years. Also, I don't know if it's a timing issue or a definite creative decision, but I've noticed that the standard formula of tag matches is being thrown out of the window a little. Case in point the women's tag; the faces were worked over for 90% of the match and never really go their hot-tag and fired-up moments. Same could be said for the Private Party/Dark order match; the big hot-tag spots were cut off more often than not, and they never got that big bam-bam-bam-BAM! got tag sequence. It's actually refreshing to see and makes the matches feel different, less repetitive and more organic. They should save that dependable formula for the big tag matches and PPVs.
