Paid Members LaGoosh Posted July 2, 2025 Author Paid Members Posted July 2, 2025 I love The Outrunners and think the vignettes they do are brilliant. But I have no interest in them actually wrestling competitive matches. It's a problem with not having a C show. A C show is perfect for The Outrunners. Just let them run wild with goofy hijinks. Bin off ROH and bring back Dark! Quote
Paid Members Statto Posted July 2, 2025 Paid Members Posted July 2, 2025 I'm very much on the Outrunners have had their 15 minutes train. It was a fairly thin joke for me to start with, and it's run it's course. I'd have ditched them as soon as they shit the bed against the Hurts on PPV. But I guess it's a business at the end of the day and they were shifting merch. Quote
Merzbow Posted July 2, 2025 Posted July 2, 2025 Tony should have just let Britt go back when she first seemingly wanted to fuck off, honestly I'm just more annoyed that "independant contractors" can still be held hostage regardless of how much of a dick she is backstage. Quote

I feel similarly. The gimmick has worn thin, and I’m not sure what else you could do with them, other than turn them into comedy jobbers. I wouldn’t be massively worried for them if they were released either - I could see them getting over in either TNA or NXT, all while being able to wrestle at a pace that fits their ability level at this stage. There’s room for the act to continue, if they take it elsewhere. Quote
Chili Posted July 2, 2025 Posted July 2, 2025 (edited) The Outrunners I still enjoy but you can only get so much reach in that gimmick and their skill level, but I think they absolutely fucked them changing that banger theme music they had too, for shame!!! As previously mentioned they're an act that is so sadly missing the existence of AEW Dark. Oh, I mean chuck them into a trio with Dalton Castle or something. There you go, sorted.

I’m not sure they can bump well enough, though. Maybe it doesn’t matter, and if you turn them into an obnoxious heel version of their characters, you’d have another Max Caster-type situation on your hands. Quote

Yeah I’d go for this. They had already done it a bit before Dalton’s long injury lay off and the chemistry was definitely there. Low tier trios division act, if it got Dalton on Collision even semi-regularly I’d be all about it. Quote
The King Of Swing Posted July 2, 2025 Posted July 2, 2025 At least we got a fun match between them and MxM. Probably the last time I had any interest in The Outrunners. Speaking of MxM. They just showed up in GLEAT, of all places. Quote
Paid Members Kamran Posted July 2, 2025 Paid Members Posted July 2, 2025 It's the 300th edition of Dynamite tonight: They've also released a couple of match posters: Quote

Seemed to have real potential as a UWFi follow-up but seemed to go down the normal wrestling route more and I gave up on it. Quote
Paid Members RedTwoster Posted July 2, 2025 Paid Members Posted July 2, 2025 Ugh, Strong and O’Reilly have escaped Collision. If he’s well enough, it would be nice to see Jim Ross make an appearance, reuniting the original announce team for one match. No need to hear from the first ever AEW Champion though, if that’s something you’ve been considering, Tony Khan. (I don’t think he will - I expect to see Jericho making his comeback in the Casino Gauntlet match, assuming he returns at all) Quote

Like you say, it seems to have become much more generic. No idea how they are making money. MxM's match was an eight person tag, featuring Mei Suruga and Michiko. Pretty standard stuff, MxM seemed to be having a good time. Edited July 2, 2025 by The King Of Swing Quote
Paid Members Supremo Posted July 2, 2025 Paid Members Posted July 2, 2025 (edited) Between this and Willow, two of the best re-signings of the decade. Hopefully this run of calling Dynamite is now a permanent deal. Ian rules. Edited July 2, 2025 by Supremo Quote
Chili Posted July 2, 2025 Posted July 2, 2025 (edited) Yeah I really like Ian Riccaboni. He has a great voice the right pitch of enthusiasm for everything and carries himself well. Plus it gives Tony a bit of rest, I enjoy Tony so much more on Collision with Nigel. Great team they are. Plus he made Kevin Kelly throw a massive paddy so he deserves that contract extension.
