Maybe they should redo the old Stone Cold/Kurt Angle/Mr McMahon story of fighting over who gets hug the boss, only updated to who gets to suck Tony Khan's dick longer, Jericho or Hardy. |
I’ve seen some of Keith Lee’s promos from nxt. He comes off as very articulate and isn’t a traditional good promo but idk where this idea that he can’t promo comes from. He’s comfortable and sounds natural. And he’s unique how his talks. What’s the problem there?
|
Racism. We have preconceived notions of what a “black dude” should sound like. Lee goes out of his way to not fulfil that stereotype. We can’t cope with it.
|
fits in line
|
Racism is how Tony Khan books some of "certain" wrestlers, and how he buried Big Swole. Racism is how Tony Khan just swaps black wrestlers in and out like nobody would notice, Remember when he replaced Lio Rush with Jay Lethal, because they are all the same to Tony.
|
Cannot wait for Gail Kim to debut tonight and advance in the tourney to face Sammy G
|
Hoping for Keith Lee though and maybe Swerve Scott (sorry Gail!!)
|
swerve :y:

Keith Lee describing himself as an “intellectual” on his Twitter page is like a woman having a gimmick where she’s rubbing a college degree in people’s faces like it’s some surreal achievement. Yeah, black men can be intelligent. No shit. It doesn’t mean you have to act like a total toss putting weird inflections on things to “subvert” the idea that you’re supposed to be in a business where you fight for your money. There are plenty of black wrestlers who can talk articulately and still cut good promos in a wrestling context because they get where they are and what their goal actually is. If the dude was really smart, he’d put that intelligence into not sucking as a wrestler to the point he got fired despite allegedly being such a progressive fucking hire. Glad we’ve FINALLY got a smart black man in wrestling. Fuck all that noise. |
Wow, that’s racist.
|
Maybe we should make two Dynamite threads tonight. One for racists and one for non racists.
|
I’ll be in the non racist one, thanks.
|
Gonna be pretty funny when it ends up being white ass Will Ospreay showing up.
|
I feel like we're getting more than one surprise tonight tbh
|
Could definitely see them doing the double debut again. The Brodie/Hardy and Cole/Danielson double debuts were a lot of fun.
|
Can't wait for Rockstar Spud to debut tonight!

Lol if it turns out to be Swerve and it’s a disappointment on purpose.
I also think they’re going to do more than one person now. They kind of forced themselves into that position. |
I was see Ospreay after Omega makes it back.
Jeff Hardy and Keith Lee would be fun I think. |
What would you do if it was JOHN CENA!!!?

Double debut. Awesome on both counts.
Hyped for Keith Lee… imagine how he’s gonna rag doll Sammy and Darby. |
Just wanna say that bit where Matt Hardy walked out through the crowd and they said his behavior was erratic or whatever? That was pathetic. That's the kind of stuff that makes AEW annoying to me.
|
Somewhere in Florida Paul Wight has pulled Keith Lee into a private area to discuss "the proper way for a big man to move" in a match.
|
Thinking about Jay White right now. Matt Jackson made sure to remind Adam Cole and us that White is/was arch rivals with Kenny, furthering the gap between Cole and Omega that had already been established. Clearly Cole/Kenny is the ultimate goal. More on that in a moment.
So the appearance of Jay White is interesting because it unbalanced the odds. Before Jay, we were pretty clear to see a 6-Man program between the Elite. Omega & The Bucks vs O'Reilly, Fish & Cole. This whole story may even be getting the label of The Elite vs The Bullet Club. There is another name out there beyond the door that can be of interest here. I am seeing a Revolution PPV where we see Kenny return to action against Jay White and Adam Cole challenging Hangman Page for the AEW Championship. If Cole, White, Fish & O'Reilly were a "Bullet Club" alliance there is one more spot on The Elite to even the odds. I wouldn't go with Cutler, how about Tama Tonga? He's been the leader of The Bullet Club for a while, you could have Kenny bring him aboard and what a difference that would make for them huh? His ultra intense promo style and his ring work is 100% different than the rest of The Elite. That way we could keep the faction war going until the next PPV and do a Stadium Stampede with The Elite (Omega, Tonga & The Bucks) vs The Bullet Club (Cole, O'Reilly, Fish & White). Back to the ultimate goal of Kenny vs Cole. I think this could easily be an AEW Championship match with Cole taking the belt from Hangman but that isn't a lock obviously. I could even see a play where Cole gets attacked by a debuting Tama Tonga during his match with Hangman to lose his chance at gold, thus fueling this proposed Stadium Stampede I've come up with. |
That sounds like a pretty good undercard to whatever Keith Lee is doing in the main event.
|
Glad Tony hyped this so much…
Flair to WWE Hall/Nash to WCW And now, bah gawd, White/Lee to AEW. The business has been shaken and I, for one, and glad that Tony made sure I didn’t miss a thing! |

Something to point out: firing Joey Janela and Brian Cage doesn’t do anything to help the bloat. They’re not even featured on television anymore. Cutting them is inconsequential. The bloat comes from acts like Matt Hardy, Chris Jericho, Adam Cole, Orange Cassidy, Red Velvet and things that are actually on your TV turning away viewers. You can hire as many people as you want for Dark/Elevation.

And can we please stop using the word “draw” when it comes to these car wrecks? 1 million people is not drawing. How can there be “no one cares about WWE” memes when it is watched by several times the number of people that watch AEW? It’s like when Mick Foley defended the sex offender by saying his shtick puts a smile on every face. Yes, on the 50 faces an advertiser wants to avoid being associated with their product. People are not tuning in to see these acts. They are laughing at them and then switching off to the product and likely wrestling forever. Causally linking attention to approval is such a Vince Russo trait. These acts are not growing the promotion. They are getting comparative attention compared to a flat product no one watches because they cannot sincerely emotionally invest. This is why Danhausen’s merchandise selling (allegedly) very well by AEW standards is an indictment. It’d be like Kaientai’s “Indeed” shirt doing well compared to The Rock’s and people saying “Wow! Kaientai is over!” No. What the fuck have you done to The Rock? There’s a reason they don’t give you the actual numbers for these shirts. And there’s a reason people check out of this product. |

No clue who that is, and since she’s a woman signing with AEW, I can only assume she is the shits.

She debuted on Wednesday and seemed bad... match was a mess
|
yeah i don't understand why they used/signed her when they already have someone way better like say kiera hogan already on the roster.

i mean they coulda used diamante ffs

Tony Khan is looking for those diversity hires.
It would help if AEW actually had ties to a proper school. |

Adam Cole losing to Orange Cassidy, clean on tv is not good. No amount of mental gymnastics can excuse that.
These are the kind of decisions that are holding AEW back. And the fact that Tony khan is so committed to it that he's willing to write an essay defending it, doesn't give much hope that he's open to change. |

AEW and its most hardcore fans start from the position that AEW = good. Everything is then forced to fit that paradigm. |

Why are they putting Jay White's debut match on Rampage next week? That seems real shortsighted to debut him on a taped edition of their B Show. Also, if they want him to be a big deal, couldnt they have done better than Trent Beretta?

I get that those are the things that get him popular enough to be featured but he's basically a comedy act like Santino. He can have a moment or two but he should not be involved in title matches and main events with main event guys on a regular basis. He should top out at things like his match against PAC at Evolution a couple of years ago. |
He shouldn't be beating top guys. End of story.
One of the biggest things that pissed me off was comparing it to Britt Baker's loss in a similar match. The difference being that one of them lost to an opponent who's greatest career accomplishment prior to AEW was winning titles while dressing up as an ant in a comedy promotion. Britt's opponent's biggest accomplishment prior to AEW was being the NWA Women's Champion. Only way it would be comparable is if Orange Cassidy falls off the face of the earth for months at a time, and that isn't happening. |
They would have to strip OC of the things that make him OC if they really want him to be a serious main eventer. You get rid of the lazy gimmick and he's just meh.
|
Orange Cassidy is the worst and there’s no place for him at all. He defeats the purpose of even trying to do this shit.
|
Comedy acts have their place in rassling. OC has definitely gone above that place when he shouldn't have.

And yes, Tony Khan and probably does pay for that attention.

I agree they Cassidy shouldn’t be beating Cole under any circumstances and that he was way better when he was a side show act. It’s fine if he gets plugged in as the plucky underdog every now and then but he shouldn’t be beating guys they view as main event level talent.

OC for champ… he should dethrone Hangman after a 1 year hangman run then Go on to be champ for 18 months.

Wish Ernest "The Cat" Miller would come back
|
If he fell on his ass and it got 30 million YT views we could call it a giant success.
|
Ernest Miller & Brodus Clay should come back with Cameron and Mo Green. Finally time for them to get used right.
Sign Melina and Alicia Fox for the Women’s Division and you can finally compete with WWE. No one can rip on you about diversity then either. |
Cassidy it’s ridiculously over and has been since debuting. He absolutely has a spot in the company. He just shouldn’t be hanging with the likes of their world champions. I said this way back when he got a ppv match with Pac. It was way too competitive given that Pac had beaten two future world champs and worked a draw with another. You don’t give a comedy act 15 minutes with Pac. You give him 5 work some shine and a decisive loss.
