AEW Dynamite Thread 2024

He has been hit in the head with a lot of chairs.

Sometimes I think Bully Ray is just a shock jock gimmick, to grift online. But then you see something like this, and realise he really is a brainless moron. Imagine starting that sentence not knowing her name. Gormless berk.

On topic, there’s something almost charming about how this silhouette looks more like Will Ospreay than if they’d just used a real photo of Will Ospreay. Might as well have drawn a speech bubble saying, “BRUV!”

[Arch Stanton]

'Brainless moron' seems a tad harsh just for forgetting a name temporarily. I do that in the office with people that have worked here for years! "Alright... ... Mate"

[LaGoosh]

I'm no Ricochet fan but doing a springboard clothesline in a full suit is sick as hell amd he needs to repeat this spot on Dynamite. 

 

 

[Supremo]

Yeah, he looks the business in a full suit. They should pull the trigger on the teases and have Ricochet join the Hurt Syndicate. Get him wrestling in a suit if you can. They’d be great Trios Champs.

I also like how this photo makes it look like Ricochet attacked Zack Saber in Scrooge McDuck’s vault full of money.

I stumbled across this fan-made edit this morning and nearly ran through walls.

Fantastic stuff. I’d forgotten how great that match was at All Out 2023. Probably the only truly great thing Mox did over the past two years before forming The Death Riders.

I know Orange Cassidy isn’t going to win at Full Gear. I know that belt is almost certainly Darby’s in about six to nine months. But just imagine. In the moment, on that night, I’m going to be all in on the idea of my boy Orange Cassidy becoming World Heavyweight Champion. He’s going to win whether he wants to or not.

It really was, and such a perfect culmination to one of my favourite title reigns of all time, with all the miles Orange had put on the clock finally catching up to him as his body failed him whilst faced with an absolute killer. 

It still pisses me off that a) Moxley ended up dropping the belt unplanned a couple of weeks later when Rey Fenix dropped him on his head & b) Orange came back to TV seemingly 99% healed up about 10 days after All Out because they wanted to do a couple of vignettes/tag matches with Hook. Really took the meaning out of the whole deal.

Moxleys injury also meant OC beat Fenix for the belt and they did the 'OC finally beats Mox' thing as a standard title defence, when you would imagine the original plan would have been OC winning the belt back from Mox. As such, while still a good moment, it didn't mean half as much as it could've.

Tonight Dynamite will be going head-to-head with NXT (they'll be at the ECW arena), here's what AEW have planned:

Yeah - in my head I fantasy booked them rushing Mox to getting close to OC's number of defences (you could have got there fairly quick if you had him defending twice a week on average) then Cassidy finally re-emerging just at he's about to take the record, and winning it back. That could have been molten done right. Ah well.

Pac’s render in that Dynamite poster is fantastic. Malakai Black on the other hand looks like a Dustin Rhodes as Seven tribute act.

Makakai‘s not even wearing face paint in that render. That’s just the colour he goes when there’s chance he might have to do a job on TV.

With the caveat I've not watched the show yet, but after seeing a video of the intro, that new Dynamite theme is terrible.

Just sub par mid 2000s style wrestlerock. Tony, there's more than one genre of music. FFS.

Ah my mistake, didn't look at the date on the tweet. It's still awful.

I thought it was a duffer. Can’t put my finger on why exactly, but after last weeks banger I just just found it a bit boring.
