He’s on a completely different level to everyone. Yes! Shame on me for neglecting to mention this but his passion was off the scale. Put over the importance of the title plus what it all means to him on a personal level too. All in such a short space of time. He's an asset to them in so many ways. Everyone needs to watch that on repeat til the next Dynamite and learn how to be believable characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted September 6, 2020 Awards Moderator Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) I actually enjoyed a fair bit of that show. Baker vs Swole reminded me more of Hardcore Title matches from 1999 TV than recent cinematic wrestling, and I quite liked that about it. I watched most of the show on mute, so didn’t realise that was Matt Sydal in the Battle Royal. Assumed it was some Indy name like Warhorse again. Anyway, dear oh dear. Didn’t go well for him. AEW don’t need more people right now anyway. Hobbs looks a good prospect - don’t recall seeing him on Dynamite before but there definitely seemed to be potential there. A few other moments in that match I disliked. The Darby bodybag spot... I get Darby doesn’t care and will do anything but someone needs to care on his behalf. And I truly hope Jake’s bag didn’t have an animal in it, because fuck off AEW if that was the case. Fuck all the way off. Speaking of, fuck off AEW for allowing Matt Hardy’s match to continue. No need. Deeply uncomfortable to see. The referee did her job as far as I could tell, but someone needs to be properly reprimanded for that. Shida and Rosa worked well together. Dustin was the star of the eight man. TNT Title on him would be fine. Page was the star of the tag title match. Thought that would have been an opportunity for Omega to finally show what he’s capable of but Hangman completely outshone him. The end did make me look forward to seeing him beat up Kenny, so job done I guess. Mimosa match went better than I expected, some great moments of peril and nearly falling in that I really liked. Much better than their last match on Dynamite. Main event was also better than I was expecting, Moxley looked like a champ, MJF looked like he could be a champ. Didn’t mind the finish - MJF tried to cheat, Mox beat him at his own game. Him and Archer for the title should be good. So, aside from the serious problems of the Hardy-Guevara match there was more I liked than didn’t on that show.

Paid Members Supremo Posted September 6, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted September 6, 2020 A positive that does need to be highlighted. This is the best bit of pro-wrestling cinematography in ages. Whoever makes the pre-match montage videos must have felt like they’d hit the jackpot.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snitsky's back acne Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 10 hours ago, Nick James said: They're just so smug and unlikeable (definitely more suited to heels), however I've heard them on podcasts and they come across great and super likeable, I can't understand why they are so different inside and outside of the ring. I was watching a Scott Hall interview from a few years ago. He was talking about his son being helped by the Bucks in New Japan. He said something along the lines of 'Cody said The Bucks are total assholes but they know that and they helped my son so we're cool'. I think the general consensus is the Bucks ARE complete dicks who, more than likely, believe all their own hype. I'm sure they are nice and sociable in situations that require it but everything seems to point to their natural personalities being that of insufferable pricks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Chris B Posted September 6, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted September 6, 2020 My guess on the Matt Hardy being allowed to continue thing is that he told the doctor that he wouldn't take any more bumps (which he didn't). But probably didn't mention that he'd be climbing scaffolding, and the doctor didn't realise because why would you assume that? However, outside of that possibility, it was a terrible decision by all concerned. Overall, I enjoyed the show. It wasn't anything special, but it feels like one that if you watched back five years from now, you'd be pleasantly surprised. No matches massively exceeded expectations, but nothing felt like it fell massively short either. The Hangman/Kenny vs FTR match was more hurt by a lack of a crowd than any other match I've seen. I thought the work and the story were really good, but it needed the crowd reacting bigger and bigger to two-counts, and between the small crowd and the heat in the building, it really felt like it was missed.

They managed to be more than loud enough for Jericho's entrance so I'm surprised they didn't make more of an effort for this match. I really thought they'd have a hot crowd for it but nothing really.

Merzbow Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 He likely didn't know what the fuck was going on, remember Foley not even knowing he'd been through thumbtacks when they were poking out of his face? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 If Matt didn't say stop it then there's a hell of a lot of others there with the sense to stop it on his behalf. Or at least you would've hoped so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted September 6, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted September 6, 2020 Wrestlers are nutcases. It’s practically a prerequisite. The last person who should be determining if a match goes on is a wrestler, never mind one that’s just thrown his own skull ten feet into concrete.
