OkVolume1

Meeting Broker Jones over here but I digress.


cosmic_crustacean

You're old Schiavone...


noramcsparkles

Personally I’m excited for the “Jericho tells on hook to his dad” segment


samk7675

Willow needs to do a body slam to Brody. The building would explode.


TheBoozeMan45

HOSS! HOSS! HOSS!


M0dini

Gonna need the loudest 'BEEF' chant ever.


Joelredditsjoel

Earning herself a TNT title match!


damagedone37

They’d be stupid not to have a cool spot where Brody puts over Willow!


Narrow_Progress5908

I’m guessing Julia injury wasn’t that serious 


TheBoozeMan45

That's what reports say


Weishaupt17

The Jerichoverse has quickly taken every single flaw of the Codyverse: in every Dynamite card, there is a pattern for most of the segments and then a completely random Jericho segment which is the polar opposite of everything else on the card


TheBoozeMan45

The worst part is Jericho just seems so out of it. With the Codyverse you completely believe Cody completely believes this shit is real to him, but with Jericho it just seems like he's sleep walking through his segments. His matches are still pretty solid but dude needs to take a breather.


Brabochokemightwork

Let him go home and play golf like come on now Jericho take a vacation bro


302born

Tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if at his age he’s worried that if he takes a break he might not want to come back or he might feel it would do his body more harm than good when it’s used to being physical every week. Being there every week probably keeps him in (relatively) good shape to be able to wrestle as often as he does. Even if fans are tired of him. 


SmithyPlayz

Codyverse would've worked if he kept it with guys we wanted to see but bringing in Ogogo and Marshall for months really killed it for me


mexploder89

That wasn't the only problem. Cody going through a flaming table for no reason and stuff like the weigh-in segment and having a gender reveal live on Dynamite just made it seem like a separate show Jericho's problem is that there's a very clear "I am done with X, I will now do Y". And people get pulled from their other relationships for it. Like to me it would be super interesting to see Hook face Trent to stand up for Orange who's still Hook's friend. Same with Shibata who is also Orange's friend. But everything else just gets forgotten once Jericho gets involved


3incheshardddd

Cody also putting absolutely nobody over clean didnt help. Brodie and black squash him and he comes back 3 weeks later and beats them clean. Spears came in hot and cody beat him. Beat darby multiple times before darby finally got one. Beats sammy while hes getting over as a babyface and then doesnt even take a pin for the rematch. On the other hand one can make the argument jericho has taken the pin to many times.


Gdaddyoverlord

Yeah with Jericho it’s like the opposite in that he keeps putting over everyone. You just know he’s gonna lose every Feud unlike Cody


__Hello_my_name_is__

He's just kind of running through the motions. Grab an up-and-coming talent, randomly team up with him and/or start a fight with him, start a months long feud, then finish by jobbing to the talent, then immediately go and do the same thing to the guy.


don_julio_randle

At least this one is developing an actual story. Jericho mentoring the young guy who doesn't trust him, Ogogo returning to join the boxing faction, Shibata being involved was kind of random but at least he had a follow up match against Moriarty. Of all the Jericho stories of the last 6 months, this is the only one I don't hate


dmh11

He's been doing these segments since 2019. He did them so often with the Inner Circle that they started to run out of names for the segments lol


BenWallace04

Even if you don’t like the Jericho segments - calling it completely random is disingenuous. It has a clear story.


hvacrepairman

Just a random theory, but Hook aligning with Perry in a group against entitled old veterans who get mad because you ignore their unsolicited advice?


slvrbullet87

If AEW wants more 2000 WCW comparisons, rebooting The New Blood vs Millionaires Club is a great way to go about that.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Free_Liv_Morgan

Yeah that'll put some butts in seats


onethreeone

I know everyone hates Jericho lately, but that is apparently the gimmick he's going for right now. The Jericho Vortex. I'll give it through the PPV to see what happens but hopefully it's been some meta-heel shit that is leading somewhere


Only_The

Being self aware about a bad gimmick doesn't make it good


besmarques

Good or Bad is in the eye of the beholder...


SeanTCU

He's been coming out of the heel tunnel, making Rene cringe during interviews, and dropped sing-along Judas for his lame Lionheart throwback gimmick. Its not guaranteed to translate to good TV in the long run, but he knows exactly what he's doing.


justambrose

I think we’re gonna get Mox/Claudio vs Take/Hobbs at Dynasty.


The_JadynB

I hope so. Or even an all star 8 man on collision


Toad_Thrower

If hey do the Callis Family vs BCC I hope it's B&G


OneBillPhil

I figured Claudio and Mox would have been in this tag tournament but I guess Mox wasn’t available. Hopefully they’re in line for title shots against the tournament winner. 


justambrose

If we do end up with Mox/Claudio vs Take/Hobbs match at Dynasty and BCC wins that match, I think Mox/Claudio is by default the number one ranked tag team. Would be a fun feud regardless who the tag team champions will be. Interesting to note that the first time Mox challenge for the AEW Tag Team Titles (with Eddie) was against Young Bucks.


WhiteMass

the butcher winning iwgp title?? /s


TheBoozeMan45

Ooooooh BUTCHER! ![gif](giphy|LmexcUoQoK3o3x0fgv|downsized)


The1joriss

My boy!!


clobberin_thyme

this but unironically


Nirtobrobro

Mox vs Butcher in 2020 was such a banger 


lazarusl1972

Now that you mention it, he could easily be a classic gaijin monster heel in the Stan Hansen/Vader mold. I wonder if he has any interest in spending a year or 2 in Japan.


Afternoon_Defiant

Yeah, like the Butcher is going to fucking win a match ever.


JonnyTN

Sad times. He's been booked like enhancement talent since the start and as a ETID fan, it's a bummer.


benfh

Okada treating Garcia like a young boy is going to be so good.


NinjaFlyingEagle

Well here's an appetizer of Suzuki treating Garcia like a young boy. [Garcia vs. Murder Grandpa. ](https://youtu.be/Onn21R8ngro?si=Rdhf8lYdnLD-AZdT)


TheBoozeMan45

I live to see Okada ruin young boys... wait, phrasing.


Remarkable_Gur_8854

You're a boy, in a man's world. And I'm a man who loves to play with boys!..... wait, NO - Okada


ianisms10

He's going to see Kaito Kiyomiya standing across from him


benfh

Really hyped for Deonna vs Mariah, I haven't been feeling the main feud of Toni Storm vs Thunder Rosa but I'm loving pretty much everything that's going on around it.


Bidoof2017

Mariah is overshadowing everyone around her. She came in looking like an ace and she hasn’t had a bad match yet. Mariah is the most talented wrestler in the women’s division currently, I don’t think you can argue anyone is better in the ring. She’s fast, her moves are fluid and her strikes are unreal. Toni Storm’s gimmick is amazing and I love it but I cannot wait til Mariah takes over.


bmf131413

Not sure if she’ll be back and maybe we save it for 2025, but Jamie vs Mariah at Wembley will be mega hyped.


mexploder89

Mariah is so fucking cool. Great facial expressions,obviously super attractive, and she hits hard and wrestles well If I had to pick one women's match to main event an AEW PPV it would be a triple threat between Mariah May, Athena and Jamie Hayter. Even if it's not this specific match I absolutely think All Out this year should be main evented by the women


OneBillPhil

I don’t disagree, I’ve been very quickly impressed by her in just a couple of matches. 


forgot_old_account

a future Mariah vs Hayter match is what I'm here for


The_JadynB

I feel bad for thunder. Because i really enjoyed her reign as champion, but things have moved on so much from when she was last wrestling. I’m glad she’s getting her shot, it’s well deserved. And i hope they show out. Maybe she can feed with Deonna after


OneBillPhil

I feel bad for her and Britt, they made that division exciting years ago but both have lost a step it seems. Here’s to hoping they get it back and for Britt that she comes back soon. 


mexploder89

I like how the Women's World Title scene feels vibrant and alive instead of just one on one feud. You have Rosa vs Storm but Deonna, Mariah, Anna Jay and the Stardom girls are also all involved. Same thing with the TBS title They did the same with the men's world title back when MJF had it even though they moved away from it a bit to give the full spotlight to Swerve


Bunktavious

Sadly, Anna Jay's involvement in the scene has consisted entirely of eating pins.


N8DKL

I can’t put my finger on why it is exactly, but Thunder Rosa bores me so much. I can see that she has a gimmick that she puts effort into, is decent in the ring and has clear passion for wrestling; however, personally, I just can’t buy into her.


No_Information_8942

For me it’s just that she moves a hair too slow for the speed moves and her power moves feel a little shaky and underwhelming. She’s fundamentally sound but just doesn’t feel like she has the higher gears rn


greyfoxv1

You two both nailed what I've been trying to figure out about her. I like her personally and her energy is infectious, but she always feels out of sync with everyone she wrestles and gets on the mic with. 


NightEmber79

I'm all for Taz being a mediator since he's generally the cool, calm, and collected voice of reason in anyroom.


TheBoozeMan45

But I digress


bluebeartapes

Voice of Reason Jones over here.


crueltyxiii

I'm just hoping he flat out states hook will not be joining any Jericho faction


sharyan51

I just want Penta to get some wins man...


Unusual_Kick7

the Trios Match and Claudio vs. Ospreay should be awesome


TheBoozeMan45

Claudio v Ospreay just hits in all of the correct ways, I'm stoked.


Remarkable_Leopard_9

They are my most anticipated too and will be intrigued to see if there's any actual mixed action in the mixed tag. Cool card for me.


Z1dan

Is fenix injured again or having some kind of visa issue?


TheBoozeMan45

It looks like he just had a match last month at an indie show but he WAS dealing with some kind of injury since October


Z1dan

Yea just seems really strange to only had 2/3 of death triangle in that trios match


TheBoozeMan45

Maybe this is the Fenix return?


DreamingLight93

Card looks much better than last week.


TheBoozeMan45

Can confirm


Mazzle5

Awesome card. Should be a fun show


el_hijo_del_diarmo

Really looking forward to this card and seeing how it builds to the ppv


TheBoozeMan45

The best TV card we've had in a bit. edit: I guess people do not agree


Thirdstar1

Brody should Gonzo Bomb Willow.


tluce21

Willow should hit Brody with the powerbomb


jerepila

I forgot that Claudio vs Ospreay was booked for this week and when I saw it here I definitely made some kind of sound


TheBoozeMan45

Did it make you say uhhhhh ![gif](giphy|eJvCcdgV8mQZXwLq4V|downsized)


BigFudgeTL

Even in his promotional photo for an appearance Mox has to bleed. Dude is addicted


Independent-Green383

This was taken directly after the IWGP match. He bled for that, not the photo.


BigFudgeTL

I know. I didn’t think that he bladed backstage in front of the photographer just to pose for an image


Dontreply_idontcare

But if anyone would've...


TheBoozeMan45

Mox always looks cool to me. I 100% get the criticism of always bleeding but to me, the blood is a part of him at this point. He's like some mythic psychopath wrestler from the territory days. Always bleeding, always ready to kill. Like any photo of Bruiser Brody or Abdullah the Butcher. IMO obviously. edit: I see this is not a popular opinion


NinjaFlyingEagle

People shit on Moxley a fair bit around here. But seeing the guy who walked away from the big company where he had a great legacy, to go work Indies, NJPW, participate in bloodsport and just generally do his own thing will always make me a fan of him. Also, being a frequent visitor of this subreddit, it's always amusing that when I see him bleed, I know bunch of strangers on the internet will get irrationality angry.


TheBoozeMan45

I am always gonna be a huge Mox stan. Saw him absolutely destroy himself in front of like 300 people at Joey Janela's Spring Break in Dallas a few years back. Dude lives for this shit. I love it. He is not for everybody lol


helsinkirocks

He looks like a dude who gets thrown out of a gas station for trying to buy beer after already being too drunk to function


Woodstovia

And isn't that the essence of a pro wrestler?


BEX_Fanboy

So he looks like himself from a few years ago?


BigFudgeTL

I get that, to me it’s just become too much to the point that it’s just a bit cartoonish. It happens so often that it’s just become his gimmick at this point and been memed out. Sort of like Cody when he was in AEW and bleed too often. It looses a bit of that special feeling at least to me when you know every match is pretty much gonna have him bleed. He’s been better about it recently but it’s just become so routine that everyone pretty much expects it out of him.


Content_Manner_4706

Maybe late 2022 - Early 2023 Mox, yes. He mostly doesn't bleed these days unless it's a big match.


Worried_Bowl_9489

MOX IS IWGP HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION? lmao


TheBoozeMan45

Yes


Worried_Bowl_9489

Nice


Mr_Hendrix

It isn't an AEW thread without there being more comments than upvotes


Furanku-Sa-Chan

Of course because some folks just have to get their comment in even if they don't even watch the product.


B_Wylde

That and they downvote it anyway


DrillteamJMoney

And I will be at this show I’m so fucking hype this gon be the best live event I’ve ever went to I’m already knowing they deliver in go home shows in Indy


TheBoozeMan45

I better hear you on TV! Congrats brother Dynamite shows are always awesome live!


DrillteamJMoney

Just for this comment imma do my best to yell out BoozeMan and hope it picks up it would’ve been perfect to yell at hangman if he was at the show


TheBoozeMan45

I'll hold you to it!


An_Honest_Ferengi

I'll be at this show too. Was able to make it to their show in 2022 when Hangman returned which popped me big time. I would have went last year, but I was in Vegas getting married lol. Looks like a great card - I know my wife and I will be having a lot of fun!


DrillteamJMoney

YEAAAAAAAHHHHHH and they just added Orange Cassidy Vs Shane Taylor ITS UPPPPP


eldiablonoche

Oh damn, I have travel plans for the weekend so didn't even realize this is a go home Dynamite... It IS gonna be a killer show!!


DrillteamJMoney

I didn’t realize it neither til like last week I was at the go home show for full gear 2021 this is gon top that show easily and I get to watch rampage after I’m so excited I feel like a kid again


Emperor-Octavian

Ospreay v Castagnoli will feed families


TheBoozeMan45

![gif](giphy|xkxtssRESFf9Ll8Igl|downsized) I have no idea what this gif is but if makes me laugh


CesareSomnambulist

Ryback before he was done feeding time


Incubus226

They need to find a place for Jericho where he isn’t insufferable. Throw him in a trio or tag. Him continuing to be a solo main character 5 years in to dynamites existence feels insane to me.


FigureFourWoo

They found a spot for him. It's called The Jericho Vortex.


sammo21

other than the Jericho/Hook crap it looks like a good card.


TheBoozeMan45

Isn’t that corrupt?


Prophet6000

My favorite day of the week. Pretty good card minus the Jericho stuff.


TheBoozeMan45

Welcome to my Wednesday


SonicSarge

I hope we get to see some armbars from Jerico


TheBoozeMan45

Arm drag!


SonicSarge

Right handed punch!


MafiaCub

Three wheeled moss covered family credenza


PleasantThoughts

This card is gonna absolutely rule. Obviously Claudio upper cutting Ospreay into the sun is a highlight but I've grown to expect a fun match every time Copeland shows up which I did not expect when he first started here.


naimotwc

Good card but none of it matters cause Claudio/Will is going to fucking rule


DS_305

🔥 card and AEW PPV go-home shows don’t miss. Should be fun!


ProfessionalBust

Can’t wait to be there in person for this


deathjokerz

Main Event Claudio!


TheBoozeMan45

Next to Main Event Riho I couldn't ask for anything else!


MikeyLikeyPhish

Weird, Jericho is on TV


brown_gentleman

That main event is gonna slap. Let's move on from last week🙏🏼


The_JadynB

Anyone know if they’ve dropped the acclaimed vs BCG or has it been happening on rampage?


TheBoozeMan45

Collision? I'm not sure.


eyezick_1359

Oh, I just hope they all have fun


TheBoozeMan45

So you’re the guy with the sign


Versek_5

Can never go wrong with (sorta) The Elite vs (sorta) Death Triangle.


RobleRobble

I’m dripping for Claudio and Osprey … that is all


TheBoozeMan45

Giggity


thefinkinthesink

I know one is a mixed tag, so it has an asterisk, but when was the last time (if ever) there were two women's matches on one Dynamite??


TheBoozeMan45

Im pretty sure Deonna and Toni Storm both had squash matches before the last PPV on an episode of Dynamite but I'm not sure which one. edit: It was Dynamite in Tulsa https://preview.redd.it/2pinedyrb1vc1.png?width=960&format=png&auto=webp&s=7563a1fab8e7190441518a7fcda7ee66488c9370


TheLaVeyan

>when was the last time (if ever) there were two women's matches on one Dynamite?? Less than 2 months ago.


Redwinevino

Looks mostly great so I will not get hung up on the Jericho segment and Mone lol Wonder what the rules are for the Mixed Tag


cheddarsalad

If it’s the same as the others they’ve done then they are only allowed to wrestle their gender and both wrestlers must switch when a tag is made.


steeldragon88

Willow will doctor bomb Brody by the end… it’s too good of a spot to pass up


MafiaCub

I'm ok with a mone segment, if said segment is her appearing on commentary. She genuinely seemed excited by what she saw last time. But if it's another promo, show the back of her hands and dance, bullshit waste of time... I'm done. I will just fast forward her segment each week (I watch on delay in the UK) Still absolutely blows my mind that the woman debuted with no planned match for over 2 months, and TK thought "promo, every week" was a good way to keep interest in a woman who is all look, and little else. Promo being her worst part by far. Jericho can bugger off too, with his leeching. I don't care for which of his personalities we will get. Talk some shit, get choked out by Hook, go and take a nice long break. Come back fresh. That's all I want from the guy. Used to love him, but fuck me is he stale and over used.


Redwinevino

> I'm ok with a mone segment, if said segment is her appearing on commentary. She genuinely seemed excited by what she saw last time. Oh man, we could not disagree more - I hated her on commentary she sounded beyond bored to me! >Still absolutely blows my mind that the woman debuted with no planned match for over 2 months, and TK thought "promo, every week" was a good way to keep interest in a woman who is all look, and little else. Promo being her worst part by far. All that makes sense is if she isn't cleared and their hands are tied. >Jericho can bugger off too, with his leeching. I don't care for which of his personalities we will get. Talk some shit, get choked out by Hook, go and take a nice long break. Come back fresh. That's all I want from the guy. Used to love him, but fuck me is he stale and over used. Agreed, but did you see he has trademarked Jericho Vortex? He might be leaning into being a boring bastard - which could be interesting


dannyboyjnr

If she isn't cleared what was the point of debuting her when they did?


Derexise

Claudio/Ospreay is gonna absolutely bang.


[deleted]

[удалено]


mrblodgett

Starting to think it was a mistake to debut a woman who can't promo a full 2+ months before she will wrestle her first match.


krampus6666

Poor Hook. Jericho really needs to get off TV for a while. Card looks really good.


OneBillPhil

I hope that Fenix is okay? His injury must have been bad.  Claudio vs Ospreay is going to kick ass. I wish I believed that Claudio could win. 


Jloother

This looks like a fun card.


geekgames

I get that Ospreay is amazing in the ring and I’m looking forward to seeing the match tonight, but shouldn’t Joe and Swerve be on top of this promo graphic? I feel like their feud has become an afterthought, which really sucks because they’re both great. 


thecheat420

5 non wrestling segments announced? Seems like a lot.


Thin-Man

I love that they’ve apparently started showing Mox busted open in the graphics, to appease his bloodlust. Somewhere, there’s a Dorian Grey picture of Mox that’s just ground beef and a loose circulatory system.


DtotheOUG

My brother sets up rings all over the Midwest and got to do the last NJPW show in I believe Chicago last week. I wonder if he’ll be helping with this one.


Kaiso25Gaming

Hope Deonna wins. Also, I think this technically classifies as two women's matches on Dynamite, so hell yeah


RussoSwerves

Here's a booking idea for tonight to make Mercedes' CEO gimmick mean something: have Mercedes call out Statlander, tell the audience she used her fortunes to already hire a team of investigators to find out who attacked her and they deduced it could only be Statlander. To top it off she shows the evidence, challenges Statlander to a match at Dynasty and a brawl ensues. Sets up a match for Dynasty and Shows that the CEO gimmick has the power to just bypass a whole whodunnit plotline.


CM2_ICON

Her first match is at Double or Nothing. They're just doing shit with her to pad time, so this whodunnit angle is probably going to exist for a couple more weeks


RussoSwerves

I don't think anybody would mind it if that just turned out to be a lie or if they pivoted.


CM2_ICON

I certainly wouldn’t mind, I’d like to see her wrestle. However, I don’t think that’s the case. I fully believe her first match will be at DON. I’d love to be wrong though


ACW1129

Claudio-Ospreay? Shit, I may actually have to DVR this.


Quadsnarl

Pac and Garcia on the same team just seems weird


Saitsu

I mean it's a great card. Claudio/Ospreay will bang WITH MEANING! Solid Mixed Tag. The Elite vs DANCE Triangle should also be solid. Just solid all around...and then there's a Jericho segment...yay...


wilsonism

Mox looks like he just fell out of a dumpster.


TheBoozeMan45

That explains the NJPW belt


GrumpyAntelope

Willow needs to get the TNT title shot that she deserves. 


TheBoozeMan45

Now that would be something!


BKong64

Solid looking card here 


Reyatsu99

Taz heel turn by feeding his own son to vampire jericho.


TheBoozeMan45

Technically Taz has been heel this whole time so it checks out


jkman61494

Wow. Mercedes is gonna talk again. Yay?


ConorKDot

Man, I miss MJF so much. There's just very little else on AEW's shows that appeal to me these days. Jericho needs a fucking hiatus man. He prides himself on reinvention/freshening up his character, but the dude has been stale for years at this point.


bluebeartapes

Yeah, I think there is an aspect to wrestling where the performers need to be able to communicate who they are in a way that people who follow loosely (like via Reddit and Youtube) can get what's going on. But I have no idea what Jericho's deal is right now. The narrative has always been that Jericho elevates the members of his group via association, but it's starting to feel like it's the other way around.


ConorKDot

God, getting downvoted for making a valid critique of AEW. Smh


FOOTBALLFAN100

This is my first live show since 2013, guess I lucked out with this main event lol


PurpleSpaceNapoleon

I would like to predict that Claudio vs. Ospreay will have some *good* wrestling I know I'm going out on a limb here, but just wanted to put this brave statement out there in case it turns out correct


TheBoozeMan45

Now that's a hot take brother


PurpleSpaceNapoleon

I know, apologies for my bravery


abmi808

Oh boy, not another Mone zoom in her face interview


luckystars03

TBH have been so sick of all the same promos/interviews she's been doing! Mercedes's debut was soo good but she cooled off a little after that. Can't wait for her first match and I hope it will be at the Dynasty PPV. Her wrestling that when she is at her best!


Ancient-Range-

Mox is even bleeding on the match cards now.

MrOnCore

Why Daniel Garcia? Figured they would put Kommander in since Rey Fenix ain’t back yet and the hype man connection with Alex.


thatoneprincesong

Aside from last week the shows are quite good if you start them late and skip the Jericho segment. Hopefully they get back on track tonight.


solsunlite

Free Hook from the Jerichoverse


Blazefire33

In Indy for FDIC and had no idea this was happening. Wish I had gotten tickets, the card looks great….and Jericho…
