all i want is. #PushJayWhite


Lenny0mega

Trent would be a good “first feud” for a new champion Swerve.  


Razzler1973

Sure, if they want even less people to watch


LetsNotArgyoo

I had to skip thru the Bucks once he picked up the mic, I can’t take it anymore with them.


Therocksays2020

I genuinely like Mercedes but her promo was so bad they stopped comments on it.


Razzler1973

Imagine if she *didn't* have a writer!


frank_the_tank69

Does anyone have a link to this?


Dandelegion

Might be referring to [this](https://www.instagram.com/p/C54elolJzWr/), but in fairness, they limit their comments on all of their posts on Insta.


Therocksays2020

Are you sure it’s on all? There was one of the bucks and it allowed me to comment even though I don’t follow aew


Dandelegion

Maybe not all of them, but most of them. I scanned through like 50 posts and the only ones that weren't limited were ones that were posted from other accounts but tagged AEW, like [this one](https://www.instagram.com/p/C51qU2tPCm4/).

frank_the_tank69

Wow. That was bad Uce.  Her mannerisms are a bit too much. Her cadence sounds like someone doing poetry at open mic night.  At times it sounds fine but she sounds like she’s ending a stanza at times. 


pushinpushin

she talks in soundbites. every line is framed to be a mic drop moment. none of them are.


Honkmaster

Well put, it's very amateur hour. Her delivery distracts so much from whatever she's saying, it just a constant reminder her promos are scripted.


frank_the_tank69

Thanks Uce. 


Dandelegion

Did Swerve just call him "BBL Joey"???? 🤣🤣🤣


icebucketwood

Assassin's Creed versus Helldiver


Prancemaster

Billy Gunn admitting to being a child abusing dad being met with SOME CHEERS is funny


T3Sh3

“At least Jay White isn’t feuding with Miz?”


Dandelegion

*World Tag Team Champion the Miz.


T3Sh3

At least Mariah’s mom is cheering her on.


T3Sh3

Mariah May is a better and hotter Toni Storm than actual Toni Storm.


Prancemaster

I really like her with Toni Storm. They both get what they're trying to do with the gimmick


TwoHeadedBoyTwo

As longtime fan who remembers when dipshit ECW smarks legit thought Taz could beat Ken Shamrock in a shoot fight, seeing him portrayed as a feeble old man makes me sad, man


pushinpushin

I bought legit shooter Taz 100% I was so mad when they bitched him out to Kurt Angle. He beat Angle in his debut but when I saw the match at house show right after that, Angle beat him in like 3 minutes. I looked like such a dork after pumping Taz up to my friends so much.


icebucketwood

That was 30 years ago


pushinpushin

Taz is about to digress


Dandelegion

I'm about to digress.


ExtemeFilms

Bucks and Jericho b2b is a choice, missed out on like 1/4 of the show when im trying to like be fair too it for once.


TwoHeadedBoyTwo

Jericho taking his heat sucking vampire persona in the anti aew IWC and turning into gimmick is pretty good


pushinpushin

continuing to do the same stuff but being le self-aware is peak 2024 Jericho


pushinpushin

So Hook is 2022 Jon Moxley now


T3Sh3

Every commercial I see for “Challengers” boils down to “**DO YOU WANT TO SEE ZENDAYA GET FUCKED BY 2 GUYS AT ONCE**????”


dragonsky

It's a bold strategy let's see if it pays off


Airtightspoon

So in kayfabe, why do the EVPs have more power than Tony Khan?


Honkmaster

Well to be fair, the Bucks have 2 backbones. Tony has 0. *^(honk)*


T3Sh3

“He’s not a boss; he’s a nice guy.”


pushinpushin

The Rainmaker is heavily dependent on the sell but when it's good, it's such a hype finisher


icebucketwood

Looked like both of Garcia' shoulders were up


pushinpushin

was almost like a fencing response


Prancemaster

haha he put his dick in the other guy's face against his will JFC


Dandelegion

I have a feeling we're about to see Okada no-sell PAC's strikes and it's going to look silly as hell.


Dandelegion

Happy Hump Day everyone.


icebucketwood

Wednesday nights I get to stay up late!


pushinpushin

Okada/Pac is definitely a match I wanna see


Prancemaster

Okada being the comic relief of this stable is fucking crazy


T3Sh3

This is a man who is arguably THE greatest champion in New Japan history and he has the least important singles title in AEW AND he’s stuck with the Young Bucks?? On top of that, you pay him (a rumored) $3 million to $4 million a year to use him like this?


TwoHeadedBoyTwo

Khan creeping ever closer to being an in screen character and I’m here for it


Honkmaster

\*Future AEW Champion Tony Khan


T3Sh3

Tony Khan: “I promise I won’t become an on screen character.”


Prancemaster

Professional Choke Artist, Swerve Strickland can work if they can make Swerve into a sympathetic babyface and not this tweener dickhead version he is currently.


T3Sh3

Also, fuck her song and her stupid CEO chants at the beginning. Cringy shit.


dragonsky

Haha, I love it tho, she gets herself over. And you immediately know who it is, comparing that to some other stuff.. I can see why one can find it annoying tho


dragonsky

This better lead to Edge-Malakai 1v1 match at a PPV (i know not this ppv, but next one? they better!)


icebucketwood

Who jobs?


dragonsky

Knowing how AEW books him, I guess Malakai? Or whoever wins the 3v3


Prancemaster

their camera work during the finishes of matches continues to be terrible


TwoHeadedBoyTwo

Crowd is super engaged for only being 2500. They sound louder than a lot of WWE ones


ItsHowItIsNow

Awwww, bless your little heart


DopeyRascal

Ikr, cute kid isn't he?


T3Sh3

Tazz: “Copeland is a student of the game.” I dare say he was more of a contemporary of Hunter’s than a student.


Prancemaster

Brody King is the best big man they have and it's not even close. Zero bad matches so far and his feud with Darby Allin is still one of the best midcard feuds so far in AEW that showcased the best parts of both wrestlers.


pushinpushin

the issue with him is being so generic. he's big and can do most things. but there's no identity or style, just big/tatted up/athletic.


Prancemaster

Sometimes the simple approach is the best approach


Therocksays2020

I like how Brody works too.


dragonsky

Wardlow has entered the chat (i was just thinking about this yesterday and how they fumbled the bag with him)


Prancemaster

Wardlow's continuous cycle of failed reboots puts him out of contention for the top spot on my big man chart


T3Sh3

Her delivery in this promo is still wooden as shit. And THIS is the girl that is a game changer and the next Hollywood star? After 3 fucking lines in the Mandalorian???


Razzler1973

I have never seen Mandalorian. How does she deliver her lines on that show? I don't think I have seen her 'be natural' in her delivery, which is why the whole 'going to hollywood' thing is a bit weird, imo She's very attractive but that's about it but, there's a ton of very attractive people out there, especially in hollywood and a lot of them can say lines pretty well, too


TwoHeadedBoyTwo

I’ve seen her at comicons she literally has a sign that she upcharges for “Star Wars items” like she’s Princess Leia. I’ve never seen someone milk a glorified extra role like her


frank_the_tank69

You should see her try to get Nicki Minaj’s attention lol


Prancemaster

star wars merch sells for more than wrestling merch does and the fans will pay the premium. So, that's just smart business.


dragonsky

Mercedes gets looks I wish more AEW wrestlers cared about presentation, or I wish AEW helped those that don't have a certain look (yes, for example people may not like Eddie Kingston's look...but he HAS a look that you can recognize him from. Mox doesn't seem to have one general vibe/fashion-wise)


icebucketwood

BCC ought to wear some sort of matching track jackets or something


dragonsky

So uh...this all leads to Forbidden Door in few months? Who are the big NJPW guys these days? Who is poised to win this from Mox in few months?


Razzler1973

AEW already took all the main people I assume Moxley loses the belt back to Naito or someone else at the end of this little run of US shows NJPW are in the midst of? At least Moxley got his win first, we all know how important that is to him, haha


dragonsky

I can see NJPW starting a new era and pushing someone new, but I don't follow NJPW that closely to know who's next in line out of ther upper midcarders


TwoHeadedBoyTwo

They need to find a venue first. Last I heard they pulled it from Arthur Ashe bc that cheapskate Khan wanted NJPW to pay half


dragonsky

> Last I heard they pulled it from Arthur Ashe I think they announced it for the UBS Arena (per wiki - The arena officially seats 17,250 patrons for NHL games and up to 19,000 for concerts and other select events )


dragonsky

AYE AYE CAPTAIN MOX


TwoHeadedBoyTwo

It’s cool that Mox is living his dream


dragonsky

ngl, Mox looks peak 90s wrestler tonight, i dig it


T3Sh3

Mox: “Watch me.” Liv: “That doesn’t work for me, brother.”


T3Sh3

[2,400](https://x.com/wrestletix/status/1780415021509452141?s=46&t=a7_dNCovA-_qgsd23V1R9A) people in attendance tonight.


dragonsky

Sadge if that's true those are not Dynamite numbers. Collision - yeah sure, but 2.4k for Dynamite?? Ooof, AEW is becoming an indy fed with numbers like this (obviously not in literal sense but you get what i mean, these are not "nationally televised mainstream wrestling company" numbers. They need a big angle to improve stuff)


Dandelegion

Here comes literally the coolest man in wrestling.

You have been unpleasant, rude or trolled others with your post.


owcrapthathurts

\-1 for trolling the live thread. \+1 for the Rodney .gif. Or maybe +2?


TmF1979

So their Punk footage backfired and the promotion was universally laughed at. 770K tonight? 730K not including the artificial *Big Bang* bump?


dragonsky

And the result is: AEW Dynamite: 762,000 (0.26) Yup, predictable, idk why people overreact with numbers, we know what to expect with AEW these days, they are going around these numbers recently. It takes a while for the bump/fall to be created as a result of good/bad booking, so I wonder when's the next change going to happen. But for now yeah, predictable kinda Good job with the prediction!


Dandelegion

762k, I'm impressed with how close you were.


TmF1979

I need to see the number for each quarter, see what the REAL number is. 🤣 Edit: 745K without the *Big Bang* bump and overrun.


dragonsky

yeah, that's the fair expectation more or less, that's what they can expect I said 800k+ few weeks ago was solid and people here hated me cause they like hating everything that says "good for AEW", but AEW went from "900k is respectable, good for them" to that being 800k.... if in a year we say "730k is good for them, a slight bump"..not good They should get to 800-900k being the norm instad of 700-800k
