I doubt those who believed it wasn’t great, of which I am one, don’t grudge the 100 mins spent watching it How many people said it was terrible? And how many just debated that some stuff wasn't as good? People rarely shit all over Dynamite completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The general (and accurate) consensus is that the opener was good, the main event brilliant and the middle was below average/bad. I don't understand why this has been an issue for some posters this week. Edited February 3, 2023 by LaGoosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nick James Posted February 3, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted February 3, 2023 This seems like a circular conversation. Dynamite has a week where not everything is great, people discuss what could have been better, someone (usually Matthew) makes a snarky comment about how we are all so negative about everything, then people who are always AEW's biggest champions, justify everyone's comments. How anyone can say that this place is negative towards AEW, clearly don't read this thread on the regular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's also been a week where WWE has clearly hit a years-long high-point in terms of setting up and paying off a storyline - it's one thing when even a subpar show is still the best show of the week, but another when a subpar week makes it a less interesting show than the competitor.

Guest Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Terrible was probably the wrong word, was trying to say even a bad week is average and not awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity Land Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 MJF's fake tan was terrible as usual. No wonder he switched into a long sleeve shirt later 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) Tony needs to ban fake tan unless it's a gimmick, so many of the roster have fuck all clue on how to apply it. I think it's a bit of an in joke though going by some older BTEs. Edited February 3, 2023 by Merzbow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like a period it happens once a month lol I think you, and some others, are perhaps missing exactly why some posters (myself included) were down on this show. The wrestling quality is fantastic, it pretty much always is on AEW. If good matches are what makes a show for you, you’re probably going to enjoy every episode of Dynamite. While I obviously can’t (and wouldn’t try to) speak for everyone here, what a lot of us need to feel investment in these good matches are strong storylines to compliment this and create investment. There wasn’t much of that at all this week, unfortunately. We all know that AEW is capable of compelling story-led television, but often Tony Khan seems to get caught in the trap of thinking quality wrestling on its own is enough. For some people, it absolutely is, but for a good number of people, they need a little more to be able to sink their teeth into.

Infinity Land Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 2 minutes ago, Hannibal Scorch said: He’s been injured for a while no? Out since Blood & Guts which would be end of June. According to Konnan, Santana wasn't on the best of terms with Ortiz. His contract was up in September with him doing some tweets that could be seen as hinting towards that with number days left and Soon. There's been plenty of rumours at the time and since that he was on his way out or at least trying free agency. Then he got hurt and any plans he had ended and its been pretty much radio silence from him. At worst he's gotten his contract extended due to injury, that doesn't mean he'll be back. Considering how plenty of people have sat at home and Tony Khan has handled certain releases. Which is why it's a fingers crossed he'll be back on TV at some point.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted February 4, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted February 4, 2023 Santana is fucking great and deserves prominent TV time either with or without Ortiz. I love the man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Yeah, Santana has potential to be a top of the card babyface. He's got so much fire in his promos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
