Paid Members Chris B Posted April 23, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted April 23, 2021 The Hikaru Shida / Tay Conti and Darby Allin / Jungle Boy matches were both really good. Just both really fun to watch. All came out feeling like bigger stars than they went in as well. Nice to see a Darby Allin match that wasn't stunt-based. That roll-up pin he uses at times is really good. Britt Baker coming out to hype up that she's now the #1 competitor was simple and brilliant. All of that will make up for Jericho forgetting his words with his shit song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Jericho is so much like seeing a comic develop a bit when he's a face. It always starts fucking HORRIBLE because he's just throws shitty nicknames out and he's a bit too 'C'MON EVERYBODYYY'. But after time one of them works and eventually becomes his new pen, or list etc. He's a frustrating sod when he wants to be. Santana is fucking killer though. He's had the mic what, half a dozen times in AEW and he always comes across as a proper real violent sod. Got that cracking grin of his as well but when Santana says something he proper sounds like he means it. He looked insane a few weeks ago stabbing Dax with a smashed chair leg, genuinely brilliant presence about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) Sounds like some sub-NWO B team shit, dreadful. But the voice clips are annoying enough to maybe be good heat..? Â Edited April 23, 2021 by Merzbow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merzbow Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I'm not sure jokey NWO pastiche really screams main event stable tho, its BWO territory but the Bullet Club always was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackpot Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Jericho forgetting which stable he was meant to be slagging off, coupled with the previous weeks of getting the dig about Wardlow's brain and body the wrong way round doesn't make for good work from one of their most experienced performers.

Ortiz looks like a psycho who's just an absolute nutter and Santana, as you mentioned just looks like a violent sod that doesn't give two shits. Build the division round them once the Inner Circle stuff is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like Britt and I’m looking forward to the match with Shida.  But if they are making the effort to do this rankings thing, they have to start explaining it better on TV.  The last time Britt wrestled on TV was five weeks ago and she lost clean. I’m assuming she has won a few matches since then on the YouTube show(s) but that is only an assumption because they made no effort to explain that other than to show her win/loss grand total on the big screen.  To somebody who watches Dynamite every week, Thunder Rosa should be ahead of Britt based on current form.

Not sure if she’s been on Dark or Elevation, but in the past Lights Out matches haven’t counted towards a person’s Win-Loss record, so that’s their get out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She did a promo on Dynamite a few weeks ago where she complained about the rankings denying her a title shot. She pointed out that Thunder Rosa beat her in an unsanctioned match, so that didn't count. She also made clear she was going to wrestle on every Dark/Elevation to rack up multiple wins each week over jobbers. The other week ago, she updated Tony that she was now at #3 and going to be #2, as Red Velvet lost a match that night and slipped down. I haven't been watching Dark or Elevation recently and this has all been really clear from Dynamite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsfromlee Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Jericho's promo may have been a bit shit but nothing is as bad as the middle finger to the camera at the end. Has anyone ever not looked tragically cringey when flipping off the camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted April 24, 2021 Awards Moderator Share Posted April 24, 2021 Penta did his stupid hand thing four times in his match with Trent. Trent immediately took advantage and hit him with something three out of those four times. Stop doing the stupid hand thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
