Tonight is the AEW debut of The Butcher & The Blade.  As well as the Dynamite debut of Big Swole, as she faces Emi Sakura.  Plus one week from tonight, Jungle Boy has a date with destiny, as he faces Le Champion.  What does Chris Jericho have to say about this challenge?

Fun opening match. Tonnight feels like a night I would rather Jericho be talking less.

Did JR tell us they would show a video on what lead to the match, and then we didn't get it?

Yeah. Maybe JR didn't get the full rundown.

Does Cody have a relationship with this MArshall guy? Or did MJF just choose him cuz he's a jobber?

That's a nasty finisher Butcher & The Blade have.

20 years ago JR used to say he had spoken to wrestlers earlier in the day and such. And now he can't be bothered, he's really slacking on the work ethic in his old age. Like why doesn't he know about butcher blad and bunny yet

Wardlow as MJF's muscle is a great way to introduce him.

And fuck MJF.

Please, keep the "What?" chants over at that other company.

Fuck TSN, and their censoring! I missed parts of what MJF was saying when they censored the "asshole" chants.

Not just Canada censoring this time. On TNT it was censored as well.

Oh geez.  New fed, same ol' standards and practices shit from Turner.

Yeah her backstory they mentioned was is really heartbreaking but not shown on the main show.

jr sounds rather condescending in this match. 'not the hair whip'

Don't think Jr thought it was going to be like this and really doesn't want to be there.

In interviews and on social media I've read JR say he feels passionate about work again because of AEW. But I'm having trouble buying it, I enjoyed him in some of the pre dynamite events, but he seems to be getting worse every week, and fast. 

My comment you quoted was mostly meant as a kayfabe joke, ;(

Knox should have DQ'd her for the micstand thing.

Does it really count as a debut when it is like her 4th time on AEW?

Debut since officially signing. JR garbled his way through that earlier in the match.

I said it was her DYNAMITE debut.

OMG I can't handle the commentators today. Excalibur just said dark drops on youtube every wednesday.... it's tuesday.

they're cutting to Picture in picture break, and for the second time JR says ' we'll be right back' ...................... we're not going anywhere. I think next week I might watch on mute

I was talking about what the announcers said. I know they meant either Dynamite or as a sign talent, but they just said she won her debut like she hasn't been seen so far. It may be picky of me but I see them saying that as them trying to erase her losing record.

Find out next Friday!!!! When we release our new rankings!!! 

Dynamite sure does have a lot of lighting issues.

Haha, I guess stealing the win from your partner is cowboy shit these days, that wouldn't fly as cowboy shit in my redneck town.

Brandi's got Dustin in that Collective now.

Who was the other person in the shot with Brandi and Dustin?

I think somebody said last week that it was Melanie Cruise.

Is Riho getting so small that she just disappeared? :lol: I was thinking she has been around much lately.

Jericho still respects JR announcing. Mainly because Jericho knows he is like one of the 7 people JR actually cares about in AEW.

Thanks, I forgot about her coming in from the crowd. She looks like she shaved her head since then?
