The exact same swerve as last week, inventive.

they are drawing this out as much as possible to keep the rating up for the third hour

I probably could have turned it off before that, since we saw this last week. |

I feel bad for Swerve, because even though he's the world champion, he is being presented as secondary to a mediocre tag team act

Also.....Was Will Ospreay on the show tonight?
Remember when he was like the BIG TALENT ACQUISITION other people were mentioning in their promos?
Oh right, he was in that weird clusterfuck match last week, and I guess is in a feud with Roddy Strong now for the lowest midcard belt.

So I randomly stumbled across this clip... www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRw2xXgPMvwHoly fuck. First off, it's weird to see RVD wrestling those guys, it feels like 2 worlds colliding But also, even by Kawada standards this feels insane. |

hahaha yeah i remember hearing about that match, where RVD is in AJPW and just got the shit beat out of him. somewhat related, steve austin was going to go to AJPW after he got fired from WCW before paul heyman hired him and he went on that ECW run which got him noticed by WWF, who weren't interested in him beforehand. that sure is an interesting what if.
by the way i am traveling to IRELAND for a week, so most likely i'll miss dynamite live. is there anything even announced for it?

That spinning back kick off the ropes was MURDER I'm surprised RVD even remembers being in Japan. And thats even before all the drug abuse. Funny you should mention that, since I literally saw this video yesterday www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlN8-Su7RGsIt literally just feels like an AEW Jon Moxley promo, but better. Goddamn man, you doin all this jet flyin and limousine ridin, meanwhile I barely seen the outside in the last 4 years. I checked their Youtube, theres nothing there yet. I would hope Swerve and Christian do something. You'd think Ospreay and Roddy would do something. I am hoping the thing Edge is doing will evolve into a match with Malakai Black at Double or Nothing. Does that mean we should watch it on Thursday? I kinda miss the Early Morning/Late Night thing we had when you were in Asia |

I’m not totally sure when I’m going to get around to watching it quite yet. My flight is leaving in a couple hours. I think a Swerve/christian segment has been announced, also Edge/Brody, which hopefully will be good
Man, Roddy/ospreay, what an ice cold match

You'll have to let me know...Also, is it possible to watch a show after it aired? The advantage to that might be being able to skip ahead on the boring parts
Yeah, Edge/Brody sounds like it could be a fun match. I might not mind Malakai Black winning the TNT title at Double or Nothing. Getting to see him work singles again might be good. I wish they had held onto his aura from when Cody brought him in.
It's really crazy, I remember that 5 minutes when Roddy first came in that he had a little bit of steam and felt kinda hot, when he had that arena brawl thing with Jericho and they made him feel kinda legit, then he somehow got that dorky wheelchair gimmick over for a minute, and then just instantly it felt like they threw ice water on it after the Devil reveal and now he just feels ice cold.
I have no idea how Tony can keep catching lightning in a bottle, then keep finding new ways to lose it.

Finally gonna live that weeb dream of yesteryear.
Get to watch some shitty modern animes and play shitty remakes of games from companies that lost sight of who they were decades ago that we used to love but now suck.
Maybe you'll bump into Kawada, and get to shake his hand too. Or maybe you'll bump into Kenny Omega and get to call him a loser to his face.

I'm debating whether I just watch it now, since I have not much else to do, or do it later

eh, the swerve/christian and elite segments sucked
watching edge/brody. there's a cool spot where brody counters a spear into a piledriver

Yeah, I went to youtube and saw the clips, at least the ones I could stomach
Seems like Adam vs Brody might have been pretty good, I kinda wanna see the whole match
The Elite segment is always infuriating, but it's especially infuriating that "Team AEW" literally makes no sense.
Eddie and Danielson just had a months long feud that ended in what? December? January? And weren't FTR and BCC feuding like a month ago? Like Moxley is still BCC, but at least he has a known link to both Eddie Kingston and Anarchy in the Arena. Or grab some home grown guys? Or don't do this angle at all because it's amazingly lame and "Authority" angles were played out over a decade ago?
For guys who pretend to not like WWE's way of doing things, they sure like aping on WWE's shit.
It very much feels like they once again just grabbed 4 random people who weren't presently doing anything and threw them into a big group tag team match 2 weeks before the PPV with no thought put into it whatsoever.

Also, I had to double check....Will Ospreay, the guy they spent so much time and money hyping up as this big signing.....wasn't on the show again?
This is why all their guys just feel like another guy after a few months.
Remember when Danny Garcia was gaining a ton of steam a few months back? And now has been MIA for like a month?
Also, remember when they spent months building up that big angle with "The Devil" and now Adam Cole hasn't been on TV in like forever?
Granted, Undisputed Kingdom is lame as fuck, but remember about a year ago when Adam Cole and MJF were probably the two hottest babyfaces in wrestling?
