AEW Dynamite |OT2| #JoinDarkOrder UP: Blood and Guts postponed/Dynamite continues live shows with no audience

The only reason the name even "works" is the link to the word Dynamite. I guess the hot take by Helms forgot about that.
That's true, I just feel like there must be a better way to handle it.
Have to remember that with all of the current travel restrictions, AEW is running with a skeleton crew, both for the crew and for the number of wrestlers that are able to actually fly/drive into Jacksonville. Because they're running low on having enough main roster guys for even Dynamite right now, they have to rely more on local indie wrestlers to help pad out Dark. Just trying to make do with the current situation. On the bright side, it is giving a paycheck to some indie wrestlers who otherwise may not be getting any paycheck at all.
Yeah that too. A huge chunk of them are in California for example so they aren't leaving there I'm sure.
The fans have been shouting for him on every WWE show when Roman comes out for years! Huge get.
Getting guys work, creating content to fill time on YouTube, and allowing your stars an opportunity to get reps and look good and get a win. Sometimes you do an angle during a squash match to advance another storyline.
Yeah, same here. Was kind of surprised when I started reading up on it. Expected the usual goofing around about different channel championships, but the name itself isn't that big of a deal.
If it was the "Nugenix Man Boosting Championship" with Frank Thomas holding the belt in all promotional pics, then yeah
Totally in. Most I've anticipated an episode of Dark in weeks, and I already watch weekly.
Sammy's latest Youtube video said there'd be a Joe Alonzo vs. Cody matchup tonight, too. Maybe that got pushed to another week? Sammy also teased that Joe got a contract with AEW, too.
It's fun to poke at these obvious jobber matches but honestly I think it's a really good use of the program at this time. It gets indie talent work and exposure when they need it most and we'll get some fun matches out of it. I don't need to be surprised by the finish of every match.
Jobber or not I don't think Moxley (the champion) should be wrestling on Dark. I guess it works because it's Moxley, ready to fight at any time.
lol. His name and twitter handle are both great. Looking forward to this now.
Sammy vlog and on Dark? I can get used to double Sammy Tuesdays.
Also I never comment on YouTube videos but I had to recommend him Samurai Cop because it's up on YouTube right now. For any friends in self isolation who need some laughs:

Is that All Exceptional Wrestling in the Impact Zone?
Honestly no reason for them to be doing any live stuff at this point. Just seems like an unnecessary expense that the majority of the viewing audience wouldn't notice anyways.
IMO, I'll take episodes of Dark that are all jobber matches over nothing at all.
IMO, the lineup is a clear signal that Allin, Guevara, and Spears are in the TNT tournament (no surprise).
Re: Moxley on Dark- I like it. Dark doesn't have to be, and really hasn't been, analogous to WWE Main Event. Now that Moxley is appearing, Jericho's essentially the only person on the roster who hasn't wrestled on Dark. They've made a point to put the whole roster on there to avoid the perception that it's a worthless show like Main Event or whatever other equivalent is.

Yeah absolutely. Not even any real danger of spoilers getting out when you run with a skeleton crew. Just seems like a no brainer.

I wonder how much they plan on taping. Even they gotta be thinking they can't keep running that kind of schedule for months.
Certainly not. I can see them coming together to tape every two or three weeks for now or something.
I'd like it if they taped a bunch of shit in one or two days, then pad out Dynamites for the next month+ with tournament matches, pre-taped promos/vignettes and great AEW matches of the past.
It's not ideal obviously, but desperate times. The people on this roster are so creative, you can jam pack these shows with non-wrestling content. This week's BTE was awesome.

You have The Elite, Matt Hardy, Sammy, and Darby who are all very capable of creating their own video stuff. It's probably not the best television content but in times like these why the hell not.
I'm super happy to see these indie guys get a chance. That's gonna be a dream for some of them, plus the check doesn't hurt. I never viewed dark as like a complete second-tier show, I mean I did because its not TV , but it's not like the matches were always terrible or full of no-name jobbers. Dark has produced some good stuff. It's not really fair to be negative on the current state of it, they're just making the best of the situation.
I look at WWE right now and the state of them and wonder how anyone can even begin to criticize what AEW is trying to do , at least AEW cares

Going to be that person and point out TNT isn't a weight class.
I'll only be bitter if the belt is ugly.
Dustin stays winning.
