Starks has never won a singles match on Dynamite so not sure why they want the fans to think the night will be any different.

And JR has mentioned multiple time how you need to win on tv.

Yeah the result of that match was a full gone conclusion but it was still enjoyable. Ricky's so good to watch in the ring.

Hangman's new submission is pretty cool, love that reverse headlock takedown (or whatever you'd call it?) to set up.

I guess they listened to the fan feedback about Trent?, Chuck, and Kris using OC music

Penta Says you just got played. Those two are great pairing.

That was a wonderful match.

Can't wait for the inevitable Shida/Baker match. Are they gonna save it for Double Or Nothing?

When I was wishing for Shida to win the title I never expected it would be a reign of terror, but it was good match. The DD Tay is a little cringy of a name. Shida's witch's "something" looked very devastating.

I dunno if I'd call it a reign of terror, she's hardly burying talent who's ready to take over and be the face of the division *right now* the way Trips did to Van Dam and Booker.

This is NOT a reign of terror. Not even close.

Did they just say Billy Gunn is one of the hardest strikers in the business?

I mean I guess I don't know enough to say otherwise but Billy Gunn?

Guess Billy got the rights to use Billy Gunn now.

It is not that but it is a long reign over a year in which most people seem to want her to drop the belt because they are tired of her reign.

CM Punk and Walter all had, or have in Walter's case currently, longer reigns than Shida.

I haven't much about people wanting Walter to drop the title.  And CM Punk changed alignment during his reign to keep people from not getting bored of it.

I mean I can see that, I'm fairly lukewarm on Shida but who should be champ instead? Deeb IMO hasn't been here long enough, so I guess Britt Baker? It's not a strong roster.

...which (I mentioned in another thread) is why I think AEW should go after Mickie James rather than the Iiconics. Billie/Peyton would be nice additions to the roster but James brings a veteran backstage presence they really don't have.

Oh. I guess it is gonna be Title for Title.

Looks like Moxley and Kingston's heading to Impact to thwart Omega's title collection.

so if they weren't in the trailer does that mean the Elite was hearing someone else relentlessly honking their horn at them?

If so then who?

Yeah meant to say you were wrong about that. Which I am glad since it makes the match more special this way.

I really thought that was coming from outside my apartment at first.

Wow. That was a pretty awesome finishing pin.

waitwaitwait

so sting and luchasaurus got in a brawl that took them backstage

then sting came out (by himself) with a baseball bat for the save

did... did sting beat luchasaurus to death?

I am glad they didn't do the shake hands respect thing. Darby fought a little heelish tonight.

Nope, he used his ice powers and froze him to death.

Ice is super effective against dinosaurs

Things I liked tonight: Ricky Starks, Shida vs Conti, Christian vs Hobbs, Moxley & Kingston, and "emo facepaint daddy"

Things I didn't like: Jericho's goofy promo especially that awful "song" which he botched, The Elite randomly disappearing which Michinokudriver already touched on, Death Triangle being heels for some reason?, Team Taz losing every match

Things I skip: Darby Allin, Nightmare Factory

Ricky Starks should be one of their upper tier heels but he is booked like a jobber in the company. And without the stat padded him and probably all members of team Taz would be near winless.

As personal as this feud is suppose to be Jericho should try to avoid his bad comedy.

Shaq randomily disappeared as well and I don't think it was ever explained.

Death Triangle is weird I think Penta is the only one that is suppose to be heel and Fenix and Pac were suppose to be face. And as a trio tweeners. Or just call it bad booking

Why does Trent have a question mark after his name?

X-zero is right, Team Taz are pretty awful. Full of jobbers who are presented like non-jobbers.

The Pinnacle and Inner Circle promos were pretty strange this week. Both teams are talking out of kayfabe, like they are fans on the internet commenting on how good wrestlers are at "working" and "promos". Jericho talking about how MJF is faking his conviction like a drama school student. Not to mention that awful song. What the fuck?

Tay vs Shida was alright but suffers from Shida's usual slowness/sloppiness which makes it hard to buy into her strike-based offense.

LOL, even against Jungle Boy, a man of similar size, Darby Allin get annihilated, outwrestled, but endures everything and wins with a rollup. No point challenging this guy since he is literally invincible. I can believe him kicking out of the One Winged Angel at this point.
