Had such a good time at AEW tonight. Had ringside seats and the crowd was hot for Dynamite. Rampage was a mixed bag. The go home segment was an MJF promo then CM Punk came out then Hook came out then Danhausen came out. The crowd was losing its mind!
Awesome episode. Was grinning for most of it.
Wasn't a fan of the Punk/Silver match, and Storm/Hayter have a better match in them for sure, but the rest was excellent. The MJF/Wardlow segment was incredible.

Man approaches podium. Pauses. Leans into the live mic. "YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT REALLY TURNS ME ON??"
God fucking dammit 🤣
God fucking dammit 🤣
Having slept on it - that may be an all timer ep of Dynamite.
Still not overly enthusiastic about some of the spots in the main event but that's just what those 2 are gonna do and frankly it's what Hardy needs to do these days to pull off a watchable match.
God if Punk turns heel I'm here for it, incredible work (both on the show and in the crowd only segment - Punk is definitely one of those guys I can see giving HOOK his first loss/losses in a mini-feud. Hell if he does his own faction again I'd be all for HOOK being a part of it)
Really wanted Dax to win - it's the sentimental story and Coles stuff just does nothing for me, he's been brutally over-used I think since his arrival.
I called the DON tag title match being a triple threat weeks ago and glad I'm right - those titles are definitely coming off JE, it's just a case of who Tony thinks has a better story with the titles. Personally I'm thinking Team Taz take them and if HOOK/Danhausen is a thing beyond DON then you can definitely do a feud there that spins off into the inevitable HOOK/Starks FTW feud.
JB/Starks was great because of course it was considering who was in the match - JB definitely needs something, some kind of edge because his vanilla good guy schtick is worn out now. The feud with Christian should give him what he needs. Starks is Starks and I'll never complain about him getting wins on TV - they're starting to put over the FTW title more on commentary I noticed and made a point of how many defences he's had. Think that may feed into my comment in the paragraph above.
That Dark Side of The Ring video was fucking incredible - I had to stop myself from laughing my ass off because it was like 2am here and the family was asleep. I still think Wardlow is going to be a bit lost after this feud is done and thought them planting the tiny seed of a ROH contract was intriguing.
Then the highlight of the show - HOOKhausen. I've never seen any of Danhausens matches elsewhere so I was looking forward to see if this as an OC scenario where he can actually really go. That being said this was pretty perfect. DH will get his moment in the tag match no doubt. HOOK is god damn over as rover - I thought this was a terrible idea when it first started but week by week they won me round and this whole thing will do wonders for him in the long run. Nese and Sterling are playing their parts beautifully - seems like everyone knows the main, if not entire point of this thing is to continue getting HOOK over and is making the best use of the time being given.
Overall, all I ask of an ep when I watch live was that it was worth staying up till 3am for and this absolutely was.
Rampage card looks pretty missable though but it's on real early here so I'll still watch.

- Cole vs Dax was great. Shame Dax lost.
- Punk vs Silver was good. Punk using the Buckshot Lariat and his promo were perfect.
- Nese squashing Danhausen was a bold choice. Hook shook his hand :)
- MJF contract signing was a masterclass. Boo Wardlow lol. The spoof video lol.
- Jungle Boy vs Starks (c) was great. Biggest win of Ricky's career. Swerve messed up. Lee!
- JAS segment was cheesy fun then BCC, Kingston & PnP showed up for a quick beatdown. Rosa/Deeb hype.
- Hayter vs Storm was good.
- Looking forward to Hangman/Takeshita.
- Hardy vs Darby was great. The ladder spot was insane and Darby ate most of it. Would have preferred Darby win but at least AEW treats their veterans right.

Also said Jungle Boy was getting beefier and watching his training regimen lol
Me as well! 😂
Amazing Dynamite. Probably one of the best. Hookhausen! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It's Thursday. You know what that means. ❤️
Punk in the shitheel role. This totally works.
And what a fantastic pairing HOOKHAUSEN is. Both were over separately, but this angle is getting them even more over. It's totally out of left field so props to whoever saw the potential in it and made it happen. Love that Taz acknowledged it on commentary.

Absolutely fantastic episode of dynamite this week, entire show was entertaining and progressed a lot of stories and the tournament.
So many memorable moments to comment on but I wanted to highlight a few.
The entire MJF/Wardlow segment was perfection, the DSotR spoof was genius and so well done.
I loved the Danhousen squash, it would have been great to see him wrestle but it made sense, he was distracted and it lead to one of the biggest pops of the night.
JAS Vs BCC segment was also perfect and the crowd made it feel massive.
The main event was pretty damn insane and better than I thought it would be. Darby is just crazy and while I was sure he should have won before the match, I didn't actually mind after the match.
Just an amazing show overall.

Really good show
Surprised at them already bringing in the BCC to face JAS, nice to see Regal getting in on the action too, don't need to see him wrestle again though.
Guess Danhausen isn't quite ready to wrestle, losing isn't gonna mean anything especially now they've made HOOKhausen official, at least for one night.
Womens match started off slower than I liked but grew into a really good match. Same old comments regarding the crowd. Toni is getting into her groove faster than Ruby did.
Dax vs Cole was awesome and would've been MOTN any other night.
Ricky vs JB took a while for me to get into it, too much moves for the sake of moves in the first half, again it built to something that ended up very good but these two definitely have a better one in them. It seems we're possibly getting another 3 way tag title match soon, even though FTR are #1 in the rankings.
Nothing Punk and Hangman did tonight did anything for me, I don't know what big segment got cancelled when Hangman caught Covid but I think this program really needs it, there is so much material they could use here and that's even without dipping into low hanging fruit like Hangman liking beer too much.
The Dark Side of the Ring stuff was funny and no doubt made Bischoff shit himself.
Props to the two crazy bastards in the main event, both these guys….I assume they just get off on the pain, Darby definitely does. Jeff seemed to be moving about better after the match than he did the Fish match so really what do I know? That was exactly what it should've been, incredibly entertaining but at the same time I kinda feel bad that I did enjoy it y'know?
I'm not into Jeff winning though for multiple reasons, I get that TK is getting the most for his money but it's a former WWE guy going over an AEW original and this tournament for both men and women is likely gonna end up with WWE people vs WWE people from the semi finals onwards. And yeah I know "everyone worked WWE at some point" but I was hoping this tournament was gonna be used to build someone new up.

"The Dark Side of the Ring stuff was funny and no doubt made Bischoff shit himself."
I thought the same thing and couldn't help but laugh.
I'd grown tired of the many debuts recently , so I'm very glad to see them using established characterizations to pop the crowd. Eddie's backup being people who the crowd knows will be like oil and water to the JAS is perfect. When you have characters who the crowd knows well enough to be excited to see how they'll interact with characters who the crowd also knows well, that's beautiful.
Stadium Stampede is the ultimate sports entertainment match, while Blood & Guts is the ultimate expression of violence, so it seems likely we'll get both. I'm kind of amazed how perfectly all these pieces are fitting together.
Dax was awesome there. Later in the night, Ricky too - caught in the Snare Trap, his eyes bugging out as he drags himself across the canvas by his nails. Fantastic stuff.
I would love to see this 4-way. (Team Taz should win, of course.)
Pretty sure AEW have 2 "big" tv events between Forbidden Door and All out (think its Fyter Fest and Fight for the Fallen) - wouldn't be shocked if we get Blood & Guts at one of those.
I have been playing Danhausen's new musichausen since I woke up this morning.
Very nice. Very catchy.
Very nice. Very catchy.
Tony has said we would probably see Blood and Guts during the summer. I think they'll do it at one of the Fyter Fest or Fight for the Fallen shows.
And 5% of this booking is definitely because Tony wants to pop for Regal saying "Blood and guts." 🙂
Btw, a couple of fun Danhausen fantasy booking suggestions from the Fightful Dynamite review.
-Starts hanging out with Abadon and tries to teach her to see her inner beauty.
-Goes mad with power as his popularity grows and becomes "Hollywoodhausen." We get Danhausen drone blimps at every AEW show. Danhausen has apparently said he wants to do this kind of stuff down the road.
Gonna share my greatest wrestling Twitter moment with you guys and enjoy my 5 minutes of celebrity vampire fame. Danhausen fan for life after his wife boosted this one.
Just saw this on my TL and was coming to say. Rivenblade going VIRAL 👀👀👀
I don't mind coz Darby clearly can survive the loss but we also know all Jeff is going to do in AEW is job out to young stars, so building him up a bit before he inevitably loses 90% of his programs makes sense. Got to give him some creditablity before he starts doing that
Wonder if Lulu or Sandra did his tights. Or maybe they collabed, which would be awesome.
Nice!
I think I have only twice had personal tweets go over 1k but I don't actively try or post comments so my account is still tiny.
Would be really interested from a marketing and analytics guy on how it helps your channel grow with the reply promoting your channel and if you see a noticeable bump in views or subs.
Kota Ibushi popped off again and I'm really wondering what's going to happen with the AEWxNJPW relationship.
Can this be a faction? Please?
Can this be a faction? Please?
I made a joke at my parents expense once, that started taking off with reactions every minute or so, and I got really nervous and deleted it. Lol.
Lol!
Pretty sure my highest ever was around 17k but that was for work but my personal account is mainly likes and retweets with occasional replies so it does feel weird when a random tweet suddenly takes off.
Yeah that's fine in isolation.
I'm more upset that there's gonna be likely no AEW "original" in the semi finals, let alone finals or winning and I just think that's wrong on a fundamental level.
Probably nothing. The industry can be petty as hell and maybe NJPW gets pissy if TK and Omega try to bring him in, but it's way too soon to worrying about that. It's best just to wait and see.
I can tell you that so far is has grown my Twitter followers by 10, and my YT subs by 0. LOL. Still going, though. We'll see. My YT channel has been stagnant for months, so not too surprised there.
Weird for people to take a silly off-air comedy bit so seriously in the first place, let alone think all that
You are absolutely right. I've been to a Rampage taping and now every time I watch Rampage at home, I associate the show with the feeling of being exhausted. I know that sounds ridiculous but I can't shake it off.
The problem is, there are not many options for taping Rampage. At least at its current time shot and show duration.
I wonder if MJF is on the same pay scale as agreed on when he was an indie only guy at signing for the whole contract regardless of being a big breakout hit featured player. Would explain some shoot motivation to leave. Def deserves a big bonus to keep him happy.
