That can't be hard. Priestly is the absolute dirt worst.

Hayter is fucking great though. I saw her for the first time at a PROGRESS show, she had a good match but the audience spent the whole time taking the piss out if her ring gear. It was a frustrating experience. 

Are you telling me that the fans at a PROGRESS show are the worst. 

I'm shocked and surprised #sarcasm

Hayter stood out immediately as the gobby Brit getting in the faces of all the fans. Glad they pulled the trigger. Hopefully TK follows the "Acclaimed Every Week" formula and keeps her as a regular instead of cooling her off.

Credit to Toni Storm too, who I never previously rated, but thought did a solid job of holding things together while Rosa is doing whatever.

Really curious where the Regal/MJF stuff will go tonight. Bit of a make or break situation for me with MJF. He's been a consistent highlight since the beginning but his character is a mess now. That wanky shoot promo painted him into a massive corner. Going back to his previous character feels like regression. Hoping this is the start of a more serious edge to him. Either that or they fully embrace him as a cool Rock style babyface. I'm so sick of this shades of grey, "cheer who you want!" bollocks in wrestling. It works 5% of the time and usually just dilutes crowd reactions and kills investment in the characters. 

Will we get a fresh break for Danielson? Time to get him away from Jericho and the scrubs and start making some fucking money with him. Criminal usage of him this year.

Buzzing for the Elite being back. Best of seven series of these trios matches though?! ?

But yeah, am actually looking forward to Dynamite tonight.

Some signs of life in ROH. HonorClub is back after a slight revamp. Only way for that to stay viable at $9.99 a month is if there's some new content on a regular basis. Which should mean taking up less space in AEW.

Just one reason I don't like those sort of smarky shows with that sort of audience. Give me a family show with a kid giving a finger poke to a heel and not backing down when the heel gets annoyed! 

 

Is "one sleeve, no fans" particularly smarky? If anything those kind of chants often sound more like a football match. 

"You deserve it" or "you fucked up" are smarky. I'd say giving a heel grief about their weird dress sense is a world away from that.

It's better than calling her a crack whore, at least. 

[JimmyAnderson]

Do we know if the best of seven series is for the trios titles?

[Tim Healys Chutney Spoon]

Remember it's billed as 'best of 7' but doesn't necessarily mean there will be 7 matches.

I can see 4-5 more penned in and by the time we get to match 5 there'll be an idea of how the fans are viewing it. If its failing then I can see them just running one team straight up to 4 wins and game over.

[BrodyGraham]

Are the Elite/Death Triangle Best of 7 definitely all trios matches? There's fun singles and tag matches in there involving those 6 guys without having 6 trios matches on the bounce.

[DavidB6937]

I think we all know what we're doing tonight.

 

[Infinity Land]

I don't imagine it would be handled well, but I could see AEW try and resolve the 'Interim' tag before or at the San Antonio show.

[Merzbow]

What's the deal with Rosa then, is it definitely something more than an injury keeping her out?

[2Xtreme_lives]

I can't remember the full story but wasn't there a scrap between her and britt or hayter. Happened the same week as the Sammy Kingston first row

Wasn’t it she claimed her back was hurt when they made plans to move the belt offer her? Was a big thing on Reddit accusing her of using her ethnicity to defend how she’s acted re acting “Latino” and the problems it’s caused involving her backstage. Not sure how much truth there is in that tho

She's had a lingering back injury. She'd been working through it most of her title reign. BOTB3 she broke Jamie Hayter's nose. If I remember right people put blame on a spot where Thunder dropped her or sandbagged her. Which could be explained by a dodgy back. That led to a backstage confrontation. Her next match was a Trios match on one of the youtube shows where she never tagged in or did anything physical.

Plan was to drop the title at All Out and get treatement. Then the feeling in her legs went. Supposedly happened for the first time just before Dynamite started so quick decision was made to cut a promo to set up the change to an Interim title match and go to hospital to get a scan. That's why it was all so abrupt and unclear what was going on that night.

The conspiracy version is Team DMD hate her and politicked against her. When she found out she was dropping the title she pulled the injury card.

Talking of boo boo faces, what was up with Moxley last week? Was a massive twat in that MJF segment. Completely mugged him off. Hope the lad gets a nice break.
