The opening promo from Adam Copeland on this week’s #AEWDynamite was weird and felt forced. Him doing a pump up speech about how great/fun #AEW is after Punk’s recent comments just felt minor league. Then later on the same show they book an all-time awful match where Jay White gets beat up by Billy Gunn of all people for like 15 minutes straight then it ends in a DQ. Jay White’s run in AEW has been absolutely criminal.
@timbowman I couldn't agree more...and their show hasn't been exactly "must-see TV" lately. Like I don't want blood for the sake of blood, make it mean something. Make it mean someone is getting their ass whooped. Having Texas deathmatches on weekly TV doesn't really make much sense....😬🤦♂️
I really want them to be and do good. They're just having a hard time understanding what Professional Wrestling is all about.
There's no super good "must-see" storylines. The Christian Cage/Copeland angle was good and the Swerve storyline is 🆗 but nothing is like Cody/Rock and Roman right now.
@BeAware yeah AEW as a whole needs to get focused and just build the company back up in the next 6-12 months. They can never compete with WWE, especially now, so they need to figure out their own thing and capture more of an audience again.
Another somewhat middle-of-the-road #AEWDynamite
this week, which usually happens right before a PPV as they don't want to give anything away or risk anyone getting hurt when they've got big matches coming up.
Considering how strong the Revolution card is, it's hardly an issue that the go-home Dynamite didn't exactly blow anyone's socks off. They played it mostly safe, with one notable exception which I'll get to.
The weirdness with Hangman last week was apparently because he might have needed to get written out of the 3-way at Revolution. That is seemingly no longer the case, but they decided to use the angle anyway, rather than let it get swept under the rug.
Hangman's behaviour here does definitely seem odd, considering the low stakes to his deception, but it works if you consider that he is slowly having his mind destroyed. Every week the moustache is bigger and he is more insane. Good.
@ArnoldBooker@wrestling Yeah. Not quite sure what went wrong there to lead to that. It seems it was mostly Madison Rayne controlling her own momentum. Not sure if she was expecting something else or just didn't know how to take the move or what.
Prior to this match, Madison Rayne hadn't wrestled a match for 6 months (Aug 2023). She definitely looked pretty rusty in the ring.

@lewdmachines Yeah it’s a gose style beer brewed with agave, lime and sea salt and then aged it in tequila barrels. It’s not bad but I would have preferred a little less beer flavor.
