I feel quite confident there is no consequential amount of viewers watching Dynamite because Jim Ross is on commentary.

With all due respect to Gertner and Noid, I've been calling out the stupid shit AEW does since day 1 press conference.

That said, I'm not watching YouTube Dark or Newer Dark, so I wouldn't have seen the clip otherwise, so thanks Gertner :rofl:

It will probably really annoy me whenever AEW launches their second show on TNT.

It annoyed me years ago when WWE launched Smackdown b/c I had to watch another show to know what's going on.

Today marks the one year anniversary of pandemic-era AEW. That episode is so jarring to watch back because of the complete silence of it all, which is understandable of course because it was such a strange and uncertain time for all and there wasn't much time to do anything but just run the already written Dynamite in an empty arena. They course corrected the next week by adding wrestlers as a crowd as they realized how unsettling it was without any ambiance.

Assuming there's not a massive setback with the vaccine rollout I think by All Out they might be running full crowds at Daily's Place, and as of now September 8th in Boston is supposed to be the first Dynamite back on the road. Can't wait, miss full crowds so much.

Maki Itoh has deleted her twitter due to intense cyber bullying from wrestling fans

Good to see the wrestling community learned from Hana Kimura. The Cult of Cornette are joyless fucking scumbags.

#1-norm-fan 03-19-2021 03:18 PM

The self-proclaimed God of Piss and Shit probably got a lot of grief from all sides. It likely escalated after she was comically bad at hitting someone with a microphone.

But besides all that, did she actually delete her Twitter due to cyber bullying or is this classic Slikbate?

I mean wrestling Twitter is dreadful so it would not be surprising.

#1-norm-fan 03-19-2021 03:42 PM

You could take the word “wrestling” out of there and still be accurate.

I always say the same thing about Cornette: he’s entitled to his opinion and so are his followers but like, why bring that much negative energy into the world?

We get it, you don’t like anything about modern wrassling. But you have plenty of awesome stories to tell about the time periods of wrassling you enjoy, focus on that instead of wasting so much effort trying to shit on people who can find enjoyment in current stuff.

I've sent that point to Brian Last multiple times. The show was SO much better before Brian Last came around.

IC Champion 03-19-2021 06:08 PM

Yeah, I can’t even listen to Jim Cornette talk about anything current anymore. A full Fucking hour on Miro and company? And for someone who trashes Trump and his supporters for being “sexist pieces of shit” or whatever he calls the, turned around and doubles down on slut shaming because people said bad things about him. Also fuck Brain last, I’m tired of schtick as well.

Jordan 03-19-2021 06:11 PM

Corny is right about a lot of things no doubt. It's shocking to me that he has such a large following. You'd think he would have some initiative to produce his vision of wrestling at some point. But in reality that vision won't sell tickets in a lucrative way. He's best making his money the way he is now. Still it's shocking the affect he has on things. I haven't listened to his podcast in a long time now. He has nothing of interest to say anymore. He's just negative, what's the point of it all?

IC Champion 03-19-2021 06:18 PM

I know he likes to say that he’s doing it for all the old school wrestling fans who hate this modern day hokie bullshit, but in actuality most of his listeners are WWE fan boys who hate watch AEW. Old school fans who hate this hokie bullshit just don’t Fucking watch it. And would prefer he told stories about mid south or Florida or even shit stain. Anything else.

IC Champion 03-19-2021 06:21 PM

Also he’s so full of shit when he craps on guys like Moxly for looking like a plumber when he managed god damn Dennis Coundry and Bobby Eaton.

Bad News Gertner 03-19-2021 06:35 PM

Listen to the questions he gets. 95% of them are fans sucking up to him. "Modern wrestling sucks, right Jim...…"

IC Champion 03-19-2021 06:38 PM

And then proceed to ask him a question about an AEW show they just watched. So fucking r word.

IC Champion 03-19-2021 06:39 PM

I’m just really upset because it used to be so much more enjoyable and little by little, week by week, it’s just become a 2-3 show trolling wrestlers he doesn’t like, or pretends not to.

#1-norm-fan 03-19-2021 06:40 PM

I listen to both of Cornette’s podcasts weekly. It’s very relaxing to listen to someone speak who understands why wrestling is shit and will likely need so much fixing before it becomes relevant again that none of us will be alive to see it. I get it. AEW hyping themselves as the “back to basics” alternative and then just doing a lot of old WWE shit as if the “basics” is late 90s WWE was kinda gross to me.

And this is coming from xrod and noid’s biggest detractor.

But Goddammit, Cornette speaks the truth and I love it.

IC Champion 03-19-2021 06:43 PM

Thanks for your take.

#1-norm-fan 03-19-2021 06:48 PM

I also listen to Bruce Prichard’s podcast pretty much every week and he’s about as full of shit as they come. So entertainment value trumps everything for me even if Cornette wasn’t always right.

I remember Nash told a story on his youshoot about travelling with ICP in Arizona and warning them about getting eaten by coyotes when they went out to piss in a field. ICP then did a youshoot and someone sent in that clips and they were both like "wtf is he talking about. We've never even ridden in the same car as Nash"

Nash when later shown this and he basically laughed and said why let the truth get in the way of a good story.


Nash is a giant bullshitter and you can poke holes in a lot of his stories.

I still don’t know exactly how she wound up co-hosting the show. She brought nothing to the table. Brian Last is a walking wrestling encyclopedia. Cornette ends up asking HIM for clarification on obscure wrestling history a lot of the time.

Bro no, you being my biggest detractor and liking Cornette's takes where he bashes AEW. I am not just parroting Jim Cornette in a less entertaining way, so being ok with Cornette bashing AEW has nothing to do with me.

Why Cutler....WHY?

Evil Vito 03-23-2021 10:21 AM

Yeah, Cutler's inclusion makes it fairly obvious he's there to take the fall.

As I've said, a problem with AEW is the jobbers seem to work Dynamite more than a lot of the midcard/lower midcard because they are afraid to have anyone on the main roster lose except for the Cutlers, Avalons, Lee Johnson etc. A non-contracted team like the Varsity Blondes that they don't care about their record will be on Dynamite way more than Evil Uno and Stu Grayson, etc.

Rankings were a cool idea to start with but it's hamstrung their booking. Like Ethan Page? Bet he'll be working Dark for a while padding his stats until they have a proper angle for him.

Evil Vito 03-23-2021 10:24 AM

Having said that the trios match will probably slap. Looking forward to it.

It will definitely slap the leg.

Emperor Smeat 03-25-2021 09:58 PM

According to the Wrestling Observer Radio, AEW holding a house show during Mania week is both for financial reasons and to give some of their talent who work mostly on Dark shows some added experience working in front of a large live crowd.

Since they've been stuck in the same general area as WWE these past months, they decided they might as well try to capitalize on the influx of fans traveling to Florida for Mania week.

Jacksonville is located three-and-a-half hours away from Tampa, where Raymond James Stadium will host Wrestlemania. Since Smackdown is being taped ahead of time, and in the Thunderdome without a live crowd, the idea is to attract fans who will be in the state on a Friday night with no live wrestling to attend.

Another reason is because they have a lot of people who work on AEW Dark and Elevation who haven’t worked in front of crowds very often, so this will give them a chance to do that. The idea is to “try a house show” and “give you a hell of a show.”

Since they've been stuck in the same general area as WWE these past months, they decided they might as well try to capitalize on the influx of fans traveling to Florida for Mania week.

Smart, the same Covid fans we spread it to both companies :nono:

That card looks like trash, I'll be at rSpring Break instead

Jordan 03-29-2021 04:16 PM

I read it a 3 hour drive from Tampa to Jacksonville. That card is pretty whack tbh. I think it would be fine if there was a proper draw on top though. MJF vs Jericho or idk ... Something worth driving 3 hours for.

Evil Vito 03-29-2021 04:48 PM

Most Mania weekend shows are within 30 minutes of the host city. Regardless of what the card looked like I don't think a show 3+ hours away is attempting to compete.

Most of the Mania weekend shows have attendance caps (smaller attendance than usual, obviously) so this is giving people on the other side of the state a show to go to if they can't get to any of the other Mania weekend shows.

More broadly, I said something in the WWE thread about whether or not they'll get back to house shows but I think there is value for AEW or anybody else to run some house shows once the world opens. House show touring doesn't have to be a permanent thing but I think this fall the demand to go to events will be at an all-time high it makes sense to just ride the wave for a bit.

Jordan 03-29-2021 06:11 PM

I think AEW is really doing this for live crowd experience for all the young blood they have on the roster.

Emperor Smeat 03-29-2021 06:36 PM

For a house show tier event, that card feels about right for it.

Doesn't look that appealing compared to some of the big indie events going on that weekend nor WWE's TakeOver and Mania events but that's not really the purpose of a house show.

Bad News Gertner 03-29-2021 07:04 PM

It's a solid House Show card. This was the last WWE House Show I attended. London Ontario at the John Labatt Centre in 2016.

WWE Tag Team Titles Match
The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) (c) defeated The Wyatt Family (Erick Rowan and Braun Strowman)

Sheamus defeated Sin Cara

Open Challenge
Apollo Crews defeated Sheamus

Cesaro and Titus O'Neil defeated Social Outcasts (Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas)

WWE Intercontinental Title Match
Darren Young defeated The Miz (c) by disqualification

Sami Zayn defeated Kevin Owens

WWE Women’s Title Match
Charlotte (c) defeated Natalya

The Usos (Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso) defeated The Club (Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows)

3-Way Match - WWE Title Match
Dean Ambrose (c) defeated AJ Styles and Seth Rollins

Jordan 03-29-2021 07:25 PM

That's a great house show card Gert. I don't think it's comparable to the AEW card.

Bad News Gertner 03-29-2021 07:30 PM

You're getting your top stars in AEW, they are just in terrible match ups


Lol all I remember form that show was the main event was great and I was mad that Heath Slater wasn't on the card

Evil Vito 03-29-2021 07:53 PM

Lmfao Cesaro and Titus is such a weird fucking team that I’m into it

Evil Vito 03-29-2021 07:56 PM

The biggest name missing from AEW’s show is Mox, he’s working Bloodsport on Thursday but they understandably don’t want to risk bringing anyone who was at the Collective to the AEW show in case there’s any sort of outbreak.

rez 03-29-2021 08:18 PM

I'm watching Elevation for the first time. I'm liking Paul on commentary.

TNT is going to test airing some MMA (One Fighting Championship) post Dynamite soon to see if Dyna-fans will stick around to watch MMA.
