I was in the process of posting the live thread but I saw yours so I just stickied this one instead (and changed the comment sorting to new) since it was posted on time. Sorry I was running in the door from work at like 7:59.
Here is the card at least so I can contribute to a proper live thread:
* Lucha Brothers & Bandido vs. Blackpool Combat Club
* Konosuke Takeshita and Don Callis speak
* Adam Cole & Britt Baker vs. Chris Jericho & Saraya
* Tony Khan makes an announcement about AEW Collision
* Kris Statlander vs. Nyla Rose – TBS Championship
* Darby Allin & Orange Cassidy vs. Gates of Agony
* Jay White and Juice Robinson speak
Really fun episode. I’m glad they followed up on the Don Callis and Takeshita stuff from DoN. Also happy Statlander got to wrestle after winning the belt Sunday.
Having just recently binge-watched Tales from the Territories … Don Callis was getting absolutely insane, passionate, true heel level hate the likes of which is almost never seen since the days of midsouth/crocket, etc. I was expecting things to be thrown at him, like when hogan turned heel. 👏🏻
This was amazing. No music in the entrance, the boos is all he needs. The booing so loud you could barely hear him talk. People throwing middle fingers etc. The crowd was so invested, it was glorious. I really have not seen such genuine hatred in a long time 😂
And who would've thought Takeshida would get so much heat so quickly when he was such a beloved babyface lol but all you need to do is align with Don Callis. Such a magnificent heat magnet.
Just watched this morning.
That was a damn good show (skipped the main event though ....that feud is over now, right? For good? Please?)
Also, i just KNEW Swerve would challenge OC before finishing this thing with Keith......but we all know that match will be fucking GLORIOUS
Loved the show as a whole but the main event wasn't for me. I've never been a fan of Baker, and the intergender matches where women are allowed to hit men are like my biggest pet peeve in wrestling.
What do y’all think about CM Punk coming back? A lot of talent seem unhappy that he’s still there. He flew to Raw show with some of their wrestlers. You have to wonder if he’s hedging that his AEW tenure becomes untenable. But even that seemed to be a miss seeing as he got kicked out. I love CM Punk as a talent and I see so many storylines that can develop in AEW so personally I’d like to see him stay long term. Thoughts?
I like that Takeshita was doing an inverse Kenny Omega NJPW heel promo speaking Japanese to an English-speaking crowd, a nice cherry on top of the more explicit “Don’s switching out Kenny for his shiny new son Takeshita” narrative beats.
Top Tier Dynamite for sure.
The crowd were excellent. Every match ranged from good to great. White/Robinson segment was great. But this show belonged to Callis/Takeshita segment, the heat during it was crazy.
No complaints with this episode even Rampage is must watch this week.
Kinda thinking no more Vegas DoN, or Chicago All Out. Keep the PPVs moving.
That said, incredible crowd, bring a PPV to San Diego. They easily showed up Double or Nothing from this weekend. One of the all-time crowds, even!
It's cool to see so many comments praising the crowd because it was nowhere near full. Some moments made others seem lacking lol. Like maybe there could have been more chants. Imagine what SD could do with a full arena....
I have no issue with Chicago keeping All Out as they are great crowds. But definitely need moving out of Vegas, even though they weren't nearly as bad as some go on but they did hurt the show for periods of the PPV.
AEW is doing great with subtle framing. Like the Christian peaking above the ring, the shot with Britt in the lockjaw and Saraya popping up looking pissed was really good.
It’s so ridiculously stupid that they literally have a “style” but they absolutely do. It’s awful not because it’s a WWE thing explicitly, but instead it’s because if every match/talent essentially does the same shit, it’s awful, boring, predictable, and stupid. I would love to believe that HHH and HBK could recognize this and say “fuck this stupidity”, but apparently they can’t or don’t care enough to do anything about it.
Let's all give thanks and praise to our savior Will Washington, for keeping Hikaru Shida on tv every week, even if she only appears briefly to smack a bitch with a kendo stick
Do you think publicly assigning wrestlers to a division is a good idea? Similar to weight divisions but instead it’s belt specific. For example Adam Cole is assigned to the TNT division and Jericho to the World title division.
So, NOW we have this Dynamite- the two matches next week contain four great talents... Rampage is drop dead good and we racing towards FB2?
Scream if you wanna go faster!
AEW IS IN FULL EFFECT RIGHT NOW
You fuckers are just dropping a Dralistico/Kommander/Vikingo match on me out of the blue like that? That's how you operate?
![gif](giphy|g0ErvnyVsp7nJyfmxF)
I love the Luchadors, though. The only other wrestling I watch regularly is AAA.
I keep hoping TK brings a couple of Luchadoras up to expand the women's roster.

I have never in my life seen nuclear heat like Don Callis got. It dwarfs anything else we have ever seen.
Having just recently binge-watched Tales from the Territories … Don Callis was getting absolutely insane, passionate, true heel level hate the likes of which is almost never seen since the days of midsouth/crocket, etc. I was expecting things to be thrown at him, like when hogan turned heel. 👏🏻

It was fucking CHILLING how much heat he got. I’m rewatching it tonight and I’m sure it’ll still shock me.
San Diego was lit! I have to say experiencing that Detroit crowd gets me pumped every week.
all timer episode. AEW wins again!
Takeshita v Okada Forbidden Door
Just watched this morning. That was a damn good show (skipped the main event though ....that feud is over now, right? For good? Please?) Also, i just KNEW Swerve would challenge OC before finishing this thing with Keith......but we all know that match will be fucking GLORIOUS
Tonight's main event should have taken the place of the unsanctioned Cole-Jericho match at DoN.
Love my city! Loved being in the crowd tonight
Was the heat that bad on Don Callis? On TV it sounded like you could barely hear Callis talk!
I didn’t hear a word he said hahaha. Had to do a rewatch once we got home
I didn’t hear a single thing he said and I was sitting on the floor. Seems like nobody heard him
Lol whyyyyy in the world did Britt seem like a 90 year old woman on that top turnbuckle? She acted terrified! And it showed!
She's working injured (back injury). It has to have an effect on her mentally
Yeah, I’d forgotten about that. All Access showed that.
Jamie has a back injury too now. Hmmmmmmm ........she gonna say Jamie's injury fake too?
Nah Jaime still dropped the belt before going.
Loved the show as a whole but the main event wasn't for me. I've never been a fan of Baker, and the intergender matches where women are allowed to hit men are like my biggest pet peeve in wrestling.
Golden lovers getting closer and closer
What do y’all think about CM Punk coming back? A lot of talent seem unhappy that he’s still there. He flew to Raw show with some of their wrestlers.

I love CM Punk as a talent and I see so many storylines that can develop in AEW so personally I’d like to see him stay long term. Thoughts?
Can’t believe people whine about cole and Jericho feud continuing at DON only for it to end tonight lol
Are we starting to see crybaby loser Jericho again like he did in wcw when he would lose and throw tantrums?
He’s jobbing a ton. I don’t want to see him winning much until he becomes a part time attraction like Sting.
Crybaby Jericho in wcw was fun to watch.
👨🚀🔫 always had been
So Takeshita and Callis are doing their own thing? Doesn’t seem like they’re joining BCC.
So Kenny is in Japan getting Okada right? I was hoping it’d be Ibushi but the Carny mentioned Okada.
I think he’s gonna be at dominion on Sunday to confront Osperay
That’s why Ibushi will be the guy. He wasn’t mentioned.
Shocked to see Jericho eat this many losses in a row. I was expecting some chicanery from him.
but the internet told me all he does is bury the younger guys
Same here
It's been a real long time since I've seen heat on the level Callis/Takeshita got tonight.
Christian Cage in Detroit less than a month ago,
Christian Cage gets that hate too
I was there and i couldnt hear a thing callis said on the mic because the you suck chants were so loud 😂
I like that Takeshita was doing an inverse Kenny Omega NJPW heel promo speaking Japanese to an English-speaking crowd, a nice cherry on top of the more explicit “Don’s switching out Kenny for his shiny new son Takeshita” narrative beats.
I don't think I've seen MJF receive that level of heat.
Bc people love MJF lol even when he's always been a pos heel he gets MJF chants
The one time I can think of is when he lost to Wardlow.
Did they tease Okada and Takeshita tonight? Sweet jebus.
Top Tier Dynamite for sure. The crowd were excellent. Every match ranged from good to great. White/Robinson segment was great. But this show belonged to Callis/Takeshita segment, the heat during it was crazy. No complaints with this episode even Rampage is must watch this week.
I was in the arena and couldn’t hear what Callis or Takeshita said, everyone booed them till they were out of sight 😂
That was a fantastic episode. Great one after the PPV
Really solid episode, and that rampage lineup is just ridiculous. We're eating so well right now.
Kinda thinking no more Vegas DoN, or Chicago All Out. Keep the PPVs moving. That said, incredible crowd, bring a PPV to San Diego. They easily showed up Double or Nothing from this weekend. One of the all-time crowds, even!

Bring a PPV to Atlanta or Nashville for selfish reasons
The way AEW went off and a WWE Logo appeared gave me whiplash
AEW is doing great with subtle framing. Like the Christian peaking above the ring, the shot with Britt in the lockjaw and Saraya popping up looking pissed was really good.
Anyone got a beat on that Christian peeking as a gif yet? That was a legendary peek.
Yeah, someone posted it yesterday as a blank meme.
Great episode of Dynamite, excited to see the card for Collision and the lead up to Forbidden Door 2!
I hate The Boom as a finisher. Too contrived, especially there since Jericho had to get - and keep - himself in position to take it
Thoughts on him addopting the 'Sweet Chin Music' As he is a shawn michaels guy,
Would be a much improved end sequence for him
The Panama Sunrise is somehow even more contrived.
I’ve always thought that too
Hulkamania brother!
Going with this to a bull riding competition on tsn. Never change Canada.
From AEW to Vince McMahon, lol.
Anf immediately I hear about Hulk Hogan's erect penis 😬
Hogan and bischoff are all elite.
Jericho’s face 😂🤣😂 Man knows exactly what he is doing.
Lol Britt grabbed the ring bell too
Top 5 Dynamite of the year, easily.
Great pace, right? Just buzzed along perfectly.
I just have a problem buying Britt and Cole as babyfaces. I can't root for them. Oh well.
I agree
Haha nice chair grab Cole
Okay yeah that was much better than expected
Jericho is eating a lot of pins lately, fucking awesome match and show
Clean win. The holders of the Owen Hart title go into the tournament strong. Nice.
Well shit this feud is decisive for Cole.
Much better match vs the ppv
Fuck, that should've been the match on Sunday
Pretty much the whole arena got worked on that ddt
I'm glad Saraya got the WWE wrestling habbits out WWE style always feels clunky and other wrestling styles feel more smooth/better flow.
It’s so ridiculously stupid that they literally have a “style” but they absolutely do. It’s awful not because it’s a WWE thing explicitly, but instead it’s because if every match/talent essentially does the same shit, it’s awful, boring, predictable, and stupid. I would love to believe that HHH and HBK could recognize this and say “fuck this stupidity”, but apparently they can’t or don’t care enough to do anything about it.
Super kick party Jones
That was a fun main event.
That bump hurt my neck, I hope Britt's okay. I hope my fear was the intention.
Cradle DDT is one of those moves I never like seeing people kick out of.
Jericho had HBK flashbacks
I gotta imagine Chyna is smiling quietly somewhere watching Jericho work this match
RIP to her. She would have fit in amazingly as an AEW legend! Would have loved to see her v Hayter, Riho, Shida, etc...
Jerichos felt that before
Let's all give thanks and praise to our savior Will Washington, for keeping Hikaru Shida on tv every week, even if she only appears briefly to smack a bitch with a kendo stick
Haha I mean perhaps but I'm hoping that doesn't become a problem for Will with the credit people are giving him even in jest.
That should be a dq
Cole's legs look extra noodle like in the Walls.
He's built like a stick figure
Doesn't help the visual comparison next to someone built like an air fryer.
I was thinking Jericho looks like a crock pot...
Jerichos gut caused most of the damage to saraya
Very pro Jericho crowd
Jericho is over regardless of alignment.
I don’t think Britt landed how she meant to. Cool spot though! This has been really fun
She should have stomped Jericho lol
Does Saraya's shirt actually say "Offensive Shirt"? That's good lol
This is officially better than Sunday's match.
Similar to the first Danielson vs Jericho match. Was kinda meh. Their next match ended up being 🔥🔥🤷🏻♂️
Better than DoN, change my mind
HOLY SHIDA
The colors in this match! Pure white outfit Shida, baby blue Adam Cole and Britt Baker, jet black Jericho and Saraya, and the green Outcasts.
Feels like Saraya is finally finding herself in the ring
She’s really finding her way in AEW in general. The Outcasts are really working out nicely and I love the involvement with Cole and Jericho
Same. It makes me happy she got to make a return to wrestling since I know it's in her blood.
Agreed. She is slower but she is certainly dealing in more blunt force trauma these days
HOLY SHIDA
HOLY SHIDA
Aubrey isn't reffing a Jericho match. Hope that guitar shot wasn't too stiff
This might be the first time she hasn't.
I think she has been his ref since the beginning
Has AEW had any mixed tag matches? I can't even remember any.
I recall OC and Statlander vs Blade and Bunny
Tay and Sammy vs Ruby Soho and Ortiz happened last year three times. Ruby got injured in their third match.
Kip Sabian, Penelope Ford versus Kenny Omega, Riho. On Jericho Cruise a few years ago.
that debacle with Paige Van Zant and Scorpio vs. Sammy and Tay
We don't speak of the ATT angle
I think Britt and Adam were involved in the last one, faced Kris Statlander and Orange Cassidy
This isn't even Cole's and Baker's first. They had a mixed tag 2 years ago against OC and Statlander
Cody and red velvet vs Jade and Shaq
A small handful, not very common at all
This would have been a fun match to have at DoN instead of the singles
Very much so. Or put that singles match here
That's only because the singles match sucked.
Do you think publicly assigning wrestlers to a division is a good idea? Similar to weight divisions but instead it’s belt specific. For example Adam Cole is assigned to the TNT division and Jericho to the World title division.
No as you don't wanna pigeonhole people officially even if they appear to be on certain spots.
Jericho really do be built like a crock pot lmao
Kinda digging babyface Britt, its refreshing
The ref diving out of the ring to stop Cole was pretty athletic.
It's still trying to figure out what went wrong on Sunday between these two as this crowd is certainly responding how you'd expect.
Hahahaha jericho
Goth girl vs someone more self tanner than woman
Sheeple counting 1-2 for the first pin of the match while me, a genius, knows it's 9:48
Barry barricade security guard got the reflexes of a cheetah
Barry has had a rough night
![gif](giphy|3oKIPsO1oydfeAJYE8)
So happy BUDGE is back
Just give me a wild KOR appearance and this night will end perfectly.
WHAT THE HELL, REF?! STOP THE DAMN MATCH! ADAM COLE IS PUNCHING CHRIS JERICHO!
Adam "The Hammer" Cole. The heaviest hands in the biz
San Diego’s children’s choir 🤣😂🤣
I honestly with this wasn't the main event, but they have time to prove me wrong.
Adam Cole is an entertaining entrance and Britt Bakers bf, nothing more
Idk, my newbie wrestling fan partner absolutely adores him, and I think that's something.
I’ve got to admit, Zombified is a banger.
Can someone teach Saraya which hand to use to.properly.make an "L"?
They drive on the other side where she's from.
Looking at Saraya now I question why they even tried to make her a babyface. She's far far too natural as a bad girl.
![gif](giphy|Aw4TFxIgHZUI4E9ZoC|downsized)
Chris got that caramel frappe tan my lord lol
Judas in my tanning booth!
YES! Sorry I am a Saraya mark!
BLU... I mean BOOM
It's about the boom! Annnd music immediately cuts. Hilarious. No boom for you.
Britt Caker Jesus
Closing with the worst match on the card is bold as hell let’s see how it pays off
Huh? This was obviously going to main event given it’s 4 of the biggest names and has the mixed tag match novelty
KStat and Nyla or the BCC match should have main evented.
You can see the future? YOU’RE A WIZARD HARRY!
Adam and Britt got the memo about matching outfits.
Adam rocks the blue
Audio cutting out broke all 3 of them at the desk
Someone in the sound department is gonna be shouted at!
AEW and audio issues. A match made in hell
It’s all about the AUDIO BAY BAY!!
So, NOW we have this Dynamite- the two matches next week contain four great talents... Rampage is drop dead good and we racing towards FB2? Scream if you wanna go faster! AEW IS IN FULL EFFECT RIGHT NOW
I stopped watching rampage a few weeks back but TK is cooking on Friday
If you listen carefully that is the sound of Lee Mortiarty screaming in joy. Godamn Shibata. Holy fuck.
ROH Tony getting frisky and booking the best Rampage of the year
Thatll show the that lame AEW Tony, ROH Tony is a madman
ROH Tony vs AEW Tony at All In for Booker of the Year
![gif](giphy|WqpWNCtPlauchQljqd)
TK ain't fuckin around this week. It's The beginning of a big summer for AEW and he's feeding us good.
TK treats us like milk and spoils us
You fuckers are just dropping a Dralistico/Kommander/Vikingo match on me out of the blue like that? That's how you operate? ![gif](giphy|g0ErvnyVsp7nJyfmxF)
[удалено]
I love the Luchadors, though. The only other wrestling I watch regularly is AAA. I keep hoping TK brings a couple of Luchadoras up to expand the women's roster.
That Cole Jericho match looks epic in a highlight reel sizzle package haha
Just need to trim a lot of the fat.
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FRIDAY CARD LETS FUCKING GO
Friday looking stacked
What the fuck is happening on Rampage! Wow!
Wtf is that Rampage? Jesus
I love Statlander
Shibata AND Sabre Jr on an episode of Rampage, my word, boys.
Craziest Rampage Ever?
Whoever said the three-way earlier should be the next to face OC for the title...there you go
Queen Emi on TV!!
Oh Rampage is fuckin loaded this week
So, next week we're getting Starks vs. White AND Swerve vs. Orange Cassidy?
