AEW Dynamite |OT2| #JoinDarkOrder UP: Blood and Guts postponed/Dynamite continues live shows with no audience
- Thread starter Bronx-Man
- Start date
I hadn't either, but the point I was trying to make (and did a poor job of) is that AEW has shown that they are going to promote people, even if they have terrible views. Which sucks. It's the one thing that I wish they would work on.
You're missing the point.
The stunts he's pulling are dangerous. ESPECIALLY for someone with no training whatsoever.
Flips onto light tubes, barbed wire, various household items.
It's going to go wrong.
I honestly thought that, after Brandi talked about the experiences she has had as a PoC, that things might would be different than the normal carny non-sense associated with pro wrestling. But Hager is still out there trucking along.
The Denver show hasn't been listed yet on their site. But I might just shoot for like the first row lower level tickets if it's that difficult.
Thanks.
I also held out hope, but AEW is still a wrestling company at the end of the day, which means they will attract problematic people. A utopian federation doesn't exist no matter how much we might wish for it. Also, sometimes, people are going to be shitty or hold views that are contrary to yours. :-/
I do not think anyone should question his mental abilities and suggest that he doesn't understand the risks he is subjecting himself to unless they are a mental health professional.
I have no problems with someone saying 'I hope he stops before he hurts himself' but the second you start talking about 'mental disabilities' is the second I personally take issue.
As you admitted, you aren't comfortable *because of your opinions of his mental abilities*. I think you're best off keeping those opinions to yourself.
It's been 84 years. Wednesday's card looks great. Can't wait for more Kenny and Page dissension.
Preparing to cost Riho the title. Wonder how absolutely dead Jericho and Mox will be.
lol I know how you feel.
NJPW has a magical ability to make all other wrestling feel like it stopped existing.
The cadence on that "wonderful" reminds of someone...
I actually liked how the salvaged the punches.
What I learned from the Philly show:
I created an account days before and was already logged in before the tickets went live. When it was time to search for tickets, my mistake was:
I chose the highest price tier (aiming for ringside) and searched, it spun for a bit before returning "no seats found." I then bumped it to the next price level down, same thing. On attempt #3, I realized that I should have done "Best Available" from the get go, because then the system would have given me results on the first attempt rather than me doing it manually 3 times. Every second counts during the initial rush and by the time I saw results, it was upper balcony already.
Philly "sold out" within hours, but the reality is that tickets were coming and going for the rest of the day and the next 2 days. Out of curiosity I was checking the site periodically and would find great seats well after I had already bought nosebleeds. They would get scooped up instantly of course but it was interesting to watch. Then a few months later, on stubhub tickets were going for LESS than face value...
I ended up getting lucky and buying better seats than mine and ate the cost of my original tickets. For 4 people I had 6 seats and was unable to sell or give away my original 2 nosebleeds.
Yeah, the lesson is to keep checking.
Boston sold out, but seats would open back up. That's how I got front row tickets a week before the show. Cause I checked periodically.
I mean sure but the mere fact that the AEW title and there was a mention of AEW from commentary during Wrestle Kingdom is huge. While there might not be any fire just yet there's a bunch of smoke. Maybe nothing happens in 2020 but I think there will be a partnership in the near future. Everyone wants it.
I think some looked far too much into the AEW title getting coverage. You can't ignore a champion in a sport.
You have to sell the match and why not sell the fact that Tanahashi could be beating the champion of another promotion. It would be silly if Jericho didn't wear the title to the ring just as Zach Sabre takes his rev Pro belt to the ring.
I think a lot of what Jericho did was off his own back again to sell the bout and he no doubt genuinely does want the two promotions to work together but I really wouldn't look too much into it.

Omega doesn't wear the AAA Mega Championship wherever he goes, so it's not like champions of other companies always just prance around with their other belts.
This was awesome. Marko Stunt haters can shove it.
Time to find out if Orange Cassidy wrestling is a draw, brother sister dudes.
That's America. America has this ridiculous idea that pro wrestling doesnt exist outside the host promotion.
It's plain dumb that AEW have a AAA champion but don't use that champion and worse is AAA even allow it to happen. Thats just degrading you're own belt.
Does AEW even call omega the current AAA champion?
If New Japan signed Go Shiozaki tomorrow to enter the G1 they wouldn't bring him in as some unknown entity and completly ignore that he was a Noah HW champion. That's just treating fans like idiots.

If there was one thing that didn't involve the booking or a potential partnership I could change, it'd be allowing Omega to actually show the AAA title. Or anyone who has a title. They have a title, there's nothing wrong with showing it off.
This is fucking great. I kind of wish this was on TV. Fuck they sold me on the Dark Order I can't believe it.
I like this one more. Heh
What kind of a person would body shame in 2020? 🤔
God damn, that Road To... was excellent. It's a shame AEW only gets 2-hours a week on National TV, cause this content needs to be seen by the masses. But at the same time I understand prioritizing Dynamite to be match and live promo heavy.
Wrestlers will look out for their problematic friends. Cody's doing that for Hagar, just like Aldis is doing it for the one in the Wild Cards who did domestic assault.
Looking out for your friends is understandable. Not right, but understandable.
I think if Hager wasn't one of Cody's longtime friends in the business he wouldn't be anywhere near AEW and would be doing 6:05 time limit matches, if that. (Hager is the worst member of the AEW roster)
I believe it was shown on Dark. Even in AAA the champ only brings the title usually if they're defending it. In lucha titles matter less than masks/hair.
I've haven't put much thought into his health, but it's been clear to me since the beginning that he does not have a lot of endurance and they have to write his matches around that. He's clearly doing the best he can without (hopefully) pushing himself too far.
I'm not sure Brandi has the best grasp on things, seeing as how she's the face of a voodoo angle right now.

Fenix went over a year without actually defending the belt. I think AAA are okay with it occasionally getting mentioned on Dark and a few more people showing up to their Twitch shows when Kenny is on.
