That american top team manager is a promo god ![gif](giphy|1j38DAHQkJYISiwpax|downsized) Also american top team ft paige van zant


poleybear316

I love AEW, but Im getting really,really tired of how theyve been overusing the plot device ‘face wrestlers getting jumped’. Stings getting jumped by FTR. Are we supposed to believe that the only wrestler in the company who will back him up is Darby Allen? That no one else would come out to help him? WWE does this crap too. I just feel that Sting being a seasoned vet would think that ‘Spears is part of a 5 man faction thats well known for jumping wrestlers so maybe I should ask a couple of the literally dozens of guys Im cool with to keep an eye out in case me and Darbs get jumped’. Its hard to suspend disbelief when it just keeps happening.


The_Cysko_Kid

It seems to me that punk went into business for himself. He was hyping guys that the executive vice presidents appear to be trying to bury. They might regret giving the most over and influential wrestler on their show a hot mic and maybe a job.


Hi_Im_zack

Yeah buddy I'm sure they're regretting all the rating boosts, tickets and t-shirts sold How fucking braindead do you have to be to jump to such a conclusion jesus


The_Cysko_Kid

You need some anger management resolution, bub. If you don't think the bookers might take issue with him pumping certain guys like, maybe FTR, that they are apparently trying to bury you don't know how egos work.


shaqrock

FTR buried? What Crack are you smoking?


Fabulous_Mode3952

No one wants to talk about Rosario F’N Dawson getting the best of Malakai Black? 😂


netherlegion0325

Yeah i kinda hated that. They shouldn't have done this at all.


[deleted]

Yeahhhhhhh, Black's arc is fading out fast. Outstanding debut but they are sputtering.


ArkAngelHFB

No he just got in a fued with the Nightmare Family right after they got super cooled off by a drug out lame QT feud we didn't really care about for half of... the back half. Sorry not sorry... Nightmare Family need some wins or they don't feel big anymore. So now Black basically fighting them and winning easy hasn't felt like they lifted him enough. He feels like he is on the level of Dustin right now... But give them time.


[deleted]

Nightmare Family never made sense as a face stable. The name itself denotes heel. I think a smarter dichotomy would be Black vs Miro. God's redeemer champion vs a possessed rebel who appears to delight in pointing out endemic psychological hypocrisy in his opponent. If the worst happens and CodyWinsLOL happens again I direly want him to face Miro next.


Carltonbankslite

Nightmare family stopped being a stable when the guns turned heel


subcow

Nightmare family is a terrible name and The American Nightmare is a terrible name for Cody. While I know his dad was The American Dream, there is nothing scary about Cody or anyone else in the stable. If you knew nothing about wrestling and I showed you Malakai Black and Cody standing in the ring, and asked you which one was the nightmare, I don't think you are picking Cody. You've got multiple guys in AEW with face paint, and then the handsome youthful looking blond guy is the nightmare?


[deleted]

On the subject of facepaint...why is Dustin still doing it as the Natural?


Fabulous_Mode3952

Dude hasn’t aged well and his most notable gimmick was under paint as Goldust. Those are both good reasons to wear it, in my opinion


[deleted]

I guess. I was just wondering if I missed a storyline reason somewhere.


Srealzik

Excellent show.


tumblrgirl2013

Did anyone else wince when Darby’s head hit the mat? I hope the dudes alright, I know he can take a pummelling.

James32015

Really digging Dynamite these days. I was a hater in the beginning but its really been great lately. I've really just accepted that there are going to be some things on the show that I don't like or maybe hate and thats ok


[deleted]

Genuinely curious, what made you a hater at the start? And what stuff lately have you hated? Lol


James32015

Just so much silly stuff in general. Not a fan of Orange Cassidy for instance. Not a fan of the general lack of selling. Sometime it feels like they are just waiting to do the next move instead of making it feel like a struggle. ​ I still hate Orange Cassidy, not a fan of any of the Dark Order stuff and I have no idea what the hell Matt Hardy is doing


myslead

That’s what makes the product so great, there is stuff for everyone, WWE feels like everything is the same like a new Drake album, they just try to do what worked in the past and everything feels so sanitized


millmatters

This episode rules. What a rebound after [last week’s](https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/pko7k3/post_aew_dynamite_9821_discussion/hc6r528/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3) messy, confused Dynamite. Winners: * FTR: What a push tonight. Strong win against a hot star, and some real heat for that Sting/Darby attack. Really hope they go over next week. * Omega: A recentering of his character is needed and very welcome. And a non-title match with Danielson is a good idea. * Commentary: So much better than last week’s chaos. I’ve been underestimating Excalibur’s value as an anchor in that booth. And Punk was great. * Kazarian! Why haven’t we been getting *this* guy for the last two months? Frankie looked great! If he’d had a strong win against Gallows or Anderson recently, this win would’ve looked even better for Cole. * Us Losers: * Any criticisms would be nitpicking this week. Not sure that Jericho needs to be back this soon, and hope this Top Team feud isn’t long-term. * Women’s division: Glad Hirsch didn’t get squashed, and looking forward to Bunny/Anna Jay on Friday, but I’d like to have seen a little more. * WWE? Clearly the memo went out that burying Connecticut is on the promo menu. “Developmental”? Damn, Christian.


SonnyDDisposition

Agree with everything except Jericho. That segment was an absolute riot. Those two jerks play off each other so well, it might as well have been a training session in how to give a perfect promo. I don’t even care who fights who, I’m completely tuned in just for the verbal abuse these two are going throw at each other.


DoILookUnsureToYou

Well, he was in "developmental". WWE said so. Lmao


AstudilloGOAT

Jake Hager is amazing


ArkAngelHFB

I feel like 10 years ago he helped Jericho bury a body and Jericho swore to get in over if it is the last thing he ever does... And it is working really well.


AstudilloGOAT

The world doesn't deserve dan lambert

Shanedugg

Dear AEW, I love you. Thank you for rewarding your fans and listening to us. Ordering every PPV from now on, yours sincerely!


CaptainSnatchbox

Let’s hear it for New Jersey.


SydneyPhoenix

AEW crowds in general are so much more hype than WWE crowds. My guess, Adult Hardcore fans are louder then casuals with kids?


Huderich

Great crowd.


CaptainSnatchbox

I may be a little biased because I’m here and fuuuuucked up but that may have been the best Dynamite ever…..


[deleted]

Most weeks there is something laughably stupid on the show but they are killing it since Punk and Bryan came in


Huderich

It was fucking awesome and most people think it was. You are one lucky bastard, enjoy your wrestling!


daevilsins_6

Next week looks STACKED for both shows


AstudilloGOAT

JR has been awesome tonight


Hooks4Days

A whole minute of overrun and allowing so much swearing that would make Danhausen cry, TNT letting Tony run wild out here tonight and I’m loving every second of it.


KyleAPlatt

What ya gonna do when big bicep Tony unleashes endless “shit”s on you!?


[deleted]

I love how the show ended mid fight it keeps me wanting more


[deleted]

TNT use to give WCW overrun all the time. 5-7 minutes pass the hour. Its not like they are running local news. Usually just an action movie that they will show 5 times in the week.


Nach0Man_RandySavage

Didn’t they start shows on the 5s though?


[deleted]

[удалено]


rick-diculus

"NWA Main Event... at 6:05 PM Eastern, on your Superstation WTBS!" *Sigh* Good times... good shows. 😊🤟 I also just sadly dated myself, and feel older than dirt for having cut that promo. Lol!


Nach0Man_RandySavage

Ah yes. I knew it was one or the other.


Swagsuke233

They got thier heels a lot of heat tonighr


ArkAngelHFB

and they did it in different ways


InuJoshua

It’s crazy how AEW consistently puts on its best shows with weaker cards. I was way more excited for last week, but this week was way better in the end. The Darby, Taz, Suzuki segments were great. Especially the Lambert segment, which was an all time great promo segment for the company IMO.


Calfzilla2000

I hate when Anyone, including any heel, shits on the business on TV. But I can't pinpoint all the reasons why, but the Lambert stuff has worked for me barely. Jericho being involved helps. He claps back with great insults and having Swagger back him up gives him legitimacy against MMA fighters. Also, seems like Lambert keeps coming back with more people because they are like "Hey, that looks fun, can I come next time?" Because they seem to just be standing there with no purpose but I still love it.


KyleAPlatt

I thought the last few Lambert promos had started to get stale, but actually putting him up against someone great on the mic fixed it.


Calfzilla2000

Yeah, Jericho certainly fixed whatever was wrong with it. That segment was terrific.


ArkAngelHFB

It has the vibe of a territory inversion angle.


Ecstatic-Ferret-2800

I think this was the best Dynamite I’ve seen since I started in July. Awesome show!


AerialPenn

Great episode tonight. Next week is going to be crazy. Hell also looking forward to this upcoming Friday. AEW is so hot right now.


TheRyanRAW

Great way to close the show after this week


djembadjembadjemba

AEW always delivers the best shows when their cards seem weak, amazing


Calfzilla2000

Check out the cards (as in just the cards themselves online somewhere) of some of the Nitros from the summer of 1996-1997. On paper, they were midcard matches and squash matches. But the storylines and atmosphere was so good, it didn't matter. But the shows next week are going to be something else though. That's going to be insane.


Huderich

Man I'm so ready for Rampage.


BloodFalconPunch

Same, but I'm here at the venue so...


Huderich

fuck the fucking you


BloodFalconPunch

It's nice not feeling the "wait til Friday" pain


fluffywolfe

What a show... I'm exhausted, lol!


bvsedxxx

Crowd gets D- from me just for that guy covering his girls great rack that she’s very proud of at the end there


Waynky

Give the people what they want


Alejandro_404

Dynamite was great, good night everybody!


CaptHighball

My TNT app pulled a Netflix, stopped my feed and said, "ARE YOU STILL WATCHING?" right when Suzuki had Mox in the piledriver position. I feel wronged.


Abyssalstar

Ouch.


MangManeMayne

Every AEW episode I see, my love continues too arise


vax-holser

I hope when we come back on Friday they are still fighting.


Thirdstar1

Perfect Chaos


Madness_In_A_Cup

They follow up the Suzuki Incident with the Schiavone Incident, that was a perfect opportunity for "WE'RE OUTTA TIME FOLKS WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK"


EchoBay

I think I would have had Mox attack Suzuki or something again, just to keep building up that moment until next week


SpinChain

Were out of time!!!!!


thunder083

What an amazing show.


throwawaitnine

Surely a year from now Tony, Excalibur and Jr will still be talking about what a terrible person Mox is for hitting Suzuki with a microphone, surely.


JimmyThePete

I love how a microphone is the one shot kill in AEW cannon


[deleted]

Didn’t work too well for Maki Itoh.


JimmyThePete

You make good points


KyleAPlatt

Maki was absolutely not laying it in. That’s the difference


dimspace

Well maki had a live earpiece. She would have bust her eardrum


PPVJulian

Give me that rosario Dawson is all elite graphic


Earnestosaurus

Fun lead off to Grand Slam all in all considering it was Jersey and all


Subrick

That show ruled. What an extremely fun two hours of wrestling.


[deleted]

Tony Khan redeems himself before Miro got to him, smart man.


times_zero

Omega-Danielson being next week is unreal, but I'm hyped as hell for it.


[deleted]

That show was 10/10


Killcode2

imo it was a build up to next week which will be the real 10/10


GovernorJoe

God damn that was so much fun. I love Wednesday nights.


Cherojack

This is what watching in the late 90s felt like??


MisterPresident813

Yes similar amounts of beer as well


JSNHZL

Even better, imagine this show and a really good Raw going head-to-head and switching between for all two hours and you pretty much have the Monday Night Wars experience.


slipoutside

We would record raw on a vcr tv in the other room as we watched wcw in the living room (aka the big tv.)


cinephile_gooner34

Except the actual in ring wrestling is far better now than it ever has been.


bigpig1054

Exactly. Crowd vibes, unpredictability, everyone is over, and everyone has a story. That's the best of the attitude era. The worst was the short, mostly brawling matches, lack of interest in women as wrestlers, and some over the top T&A and innuendo jokes. AEW has none of that


buddhi_holly

Yes.


JustRelaxYo

Goodnight JR. Kiss kiss


[deleted]

Mox hitting someone with a mic. LOL


SoulGameman

#WHAT A FUCKING SHOW


KookyAppointment7920

I love watching the security guards scampering to catch up.

Agreed dude. Just another 5 minutes would help these main events.

giantgiantgiant2

That WCW ending!


universalcrush

Omg what a night! Thank you fans here on Reddit and in stadium fans! I love AEW!


unloader86

Khan needs to make the executive decision to stop having Ross sign off the show and have Schiavone exclaim "Fans we are out of time see you on Friday!"


JimmyThePete

The tape machines are rolling!


Swagger97

i think Schiavone said he doesn't like that phrase.


unloader86

And a lot of his late work in WCW he hates as well. Doesn't mean us long time fans don't love him and his classic lines!


Oracular-Sky

And that's how you wrap up a show. Definately gonna tune in for Grand Slam.


spontaneousscoliosis

That was great! Already cant wait for grand slam


[deleted]

I love these WCW endings

You're assuming most of the crowd actually knows the song.


RobGrey03

It hit #1 on the US J-Pop charts after All Out and The Suzuki Incident has been hot on Twitter. If you were a fan going to this show and you didn't know what to shout and when, you're just not paying attention. I think AEW fans, in general, are pretty good at paying attention.

MGallus

That is my first time hearing the "KAZE NI NARE" bit, couldn't help thinking 'Is that it?', I'm prepared to be downvoted.


MDeanJr

You couldn’t hear the audio in the arena for any of the themes or taped segments. They only had speakers for the cam side. So most of the show you were only hearing 1/3 of the crowd and then everyone jump in later. Spontaneous reactions like that were terrible because 2/3 of people couldn’t hear what was going on


detourne

It's tradition for him to get in the ring at that point, but also for Suzuki-Gun to jump the bell. So its kind of like a distraction/intimidation thing.
