It’ll be interesting to see how Tony handles release requests. Samoa Joe is a good shout for someone who would rather be in WWE.

It's probably not a great sign I watch Dynamite every week and I didn't even know these two tag teams were feuding, and feuding to the point they need a street fight...but I also don't really know who Josh Woods is...don't think he's ever been on Dynamite...

anyway the main event of rampage was a street fight between swerve/lee and their heated rivals tony nese and josh woods

jade cargill vs madison reign announced for dynamite

“Let’s just try to bury it as quickly as possible” is the chosen tactic.

Lol, I forget Tony Nese exists. He really seems like he should be an Impact Wrestling guy. I’ve heard good things about Josh Woods.

Any "cool factor" that AEW had was ruined by Tony Khan hugging and tweeting his way in the annals of Wrestlecrap. The stupid indy/Chikara/PWG booking on national TV is one deadly sin that seems palatable for enough people. But now with super cool Triple Haitch leading WWE, Rapist Vince isn't leading the show anymore and the fans are going to start to jump back where the nostalgia and history really matters.

The best thing that someone like Punk, Danielson, Mox or Jericho could do is really take the risk to tell Tony Khan that he's ruining this project which could have possibly been a really great product. Just like Vince was the cancer that needed to leave WWE in the end, it's already apparent that the same situation is happening at AEW.

At the very least, TK shouldn't be the on-screen authority. I know it doesn't happen often but when he comes out to make announcements, I cringe. Keep him behind the scenes please.

But how would you guys feel if TK came out right now to SEND HOOKKKKKKKKKKKK

You mean it isn't cool when a 40 year old man comes out and stomps his feet like a 4 year old who didn't get ice cream? :rofl:

I mean I guess as long as HOOK gets SENT that might be okay

AEW is now unequivocally the promotion with the out of touch founder holding it back.

Tony Khan is a dork but him being a dork doesn’t hinder my enjoyment of the product. If he makes a bad booking decision now and then (which he certainly has) then yeah that hinders me but I couldn’t care less about him acting like a doofus in press conferences.

I don't pay any attention to the press conferences so he can geek it up there all he wants lol

No one watching Battle of the Belts tonight?

Of course no one is.

Apparently Claudio and Takeshita had a banger no one cares about.

Thunder Rosa broke Jamie Hayter's nose. Apparently she hit her with the brain buster and somehow ended up kneeing Jamie in the nose in the aftermath. Jamie toughed it out though.

the word stiff comes to mind. So do sand and bag. Rosa really building a rep like Seth Rollins had a few years ago.

Rosa was wearing a sand bag shirt on dynamite. I liked rosa to begin with when they just booked her as a fiery wrecking machine. Her title run has been meh namely due to her inability to promo combined with poor storytelling for the division.

They need to find a way to get Cargill to the women’s world title scene. She’s far more interesting than pretty much anybody else they have.

Yeah then get the TBS title or w/e onto Ember Moon.

Why is there even a TBS Title. Just have Britt Baker beat Thunder Rosa and Jade can unify the belts at All Out.

I have never got the appeal of Thunder Rosa. She is boring, can't promo, and I can't think of a single good match she has had when not propped up by Britt Baker.

She’s got some sort of legit background and has a nice ass, so people project talent onto her.

I’d go with Stat. As for Jade, I’d rather her not eat a pin to lose the belt. So maybe she drops it in a 3 way that gives her an out. I’d keep her undefeated until she drops the world title. Ideally they feed her Britt before putting her over Rosa for the belt.

Sounds like somebody misses Papa H :rofl:

He could be big if he goes back to WWE.... Got that advantage of not being there for awhile.

Guys like Kevin Owens or whatever, sure... Triple H could start pushing him again, but after so many years of being "just a guy" and being jerked around so much it would be like "who cares?"

But Rusev would have the "advantage" of having been gone, so he can come back "refreshed".... push that guy on return and it can be believable. As opposed to if he was around in WWE all this time in which case it would be "I'm not buying him as suddenly now he's main event"

It’s a work. Everyone is happy in AEW.

They just need to push Butcher

AKA The Jinder Push AKA The JBL Push.

Haha, no way would Rusev be perceived like that. I’m trying to think of someone on the roster that would have those vibes if you pushed them.

I was just reading that the stupid video game gimmick Miro debuted in AEW with was Tony Khan’s idea. I’d fucking want out too. Getting paid $1 million per year to sit around and audition for TV shows has its perks too though.

Damn... I was sure that would have been Miro's idea.... and just Tony with his "don't say no to bad ideas" attitude would have sat there and let it happen....

Miro sucks everywhere he's been, he has the look but he sucks.

Yeah, I would have thought that too, but apparently Miro said it was TK on Kurt Angle’s podcast. I haven’t heard this myself though, I’m just reporting what I’ve seen people saying.

The guy’s talented, but he has some odd instincts. It was a very silly move to get a haircut when you work for a promotional company that markets your image.

Your face sucks

Lots of AEW fans turning against Miro saying he’s not that good and suggesting they would rather have Mance Warner. This is not a cult.
