I'd actually watch it if they sign her.

Bucks as heels is mikes better. I think Darby Allin is probably my favourite wrestler to watch right now. For such a small guy he hits everything with such intensity.

I struggle a bit with Darby Allin. I want to like him but I don't think he gets enough mic time and as a result I don't really know what his character is. In the Team Tazz fued despite being the champ he felt very second fiddle to Sting. Saying that I watched Elevation for the first time last monday and the first thing on the show was a promo from him which was pretty good but they don't often do it on Dynamite itself.

In other news I'm pretty hyped for Wednesday now that Kenny Omega is a triple world champ - AEW, AAA, and Impact. Can't wait to see if he collects anymore belts before it inevitably comes crashing down around him. I know AEW have a working relationship with NWA so a Nick Aldis match could be fun and if they do some more with New Japan I'd love to see Okada turn up and clothesline his head off.

Each to there own obviously but I don't have a problem with any part of his game, everything he does is so smooth and his v triggers and snap dragon suplexes always look absolutely brutal. I've only seen his AEW run so can't comment on his New Japan stuff but that gets nothing but plaudits so I can't imagine I'd not enjoy it if I went back.

That's mostly just wrestling now. He's probably got the most protected finisher in any promotion as I think only one person has ever kicked out of the One Winged Angel

I don't question his skill at all. Or his ability (can't think of many fucks by him). I just find that, as Dante said, a lot of his matches do seem to have big finish after big finish but for no real impact. I realise this is a modern thing of the Last five years or maybe more but it takes me out of things. Why is the f5 dangerous if roman reigns can kick out after taking 5 in a row for example.

Also his facials. His hulk up routine, the pointing ... again, take me out of it. He is certainly not the only one but he seems a genuinely amazing athlete, it feels a pity.

Still, meltzer loves his stuff so what do I know.

He’s very hammy and I get why people don’t like him but I fucking love him. Each to their own

@frosty I totally get what you’re saying about Darby. This is an AEW problem. They often do some great stuff on dark and elevation and just assume everyone watching Dynamite knows what is going on. I’d be confused as fuck on some of the stuff on Dynamite if I didn’t watch the b shows. I did love this weeks episode. The parley segment knocked it out the park.


@dante I do think Meltzer gets an unfair rep given for years the highest ppv average star rating for any promotion was nxt. I agree with him about 60% of the time but he does lose his mind and go nuts on stuff sometimes.

So match of the year happened this morning. Absolute blinder with Will Ospreay and Shingo Takagi in new japan. I’ve fallen out with the promotion in the last year but when it hits it really fucking hits. Anyone wanting a special place to watch it message me.

Genuinely one of the feds biggest misses. I know they did give him some what of a push and I know an injury curtailed his big moment but they should have been on the Bryan train much sooner. Great at heel or face, awesome ring work and able to get a crowd going. If he ends up in AEW, I genuinely would give their show another go.

I'm sure he could. I genuinely hold him in regard as one of the real greats of the most recent years. And even before that.

Taz and Excalibur are well funny. It’s like the developmental show. A real easy watch. Really looking forward to the next 2 Dynamites. Blood and Guts and then my boy Yuji Nagata v Moxley.

I agree. I honestly regard him as Top 5 of all time and the best guy the WWE has ever had in maybe the last 15 years.

So Dynamite Blood and Guts. Never seen a war games match before but that didn't really do it for me. It was fun up until all 10 were in then it kinda just dragged until the end.

Finish was a bit underwhelming as well. Don't think I'd have been bothered by it if the build to it hadn't been so slow. Jericho had to stop on the side of the cage while climbing up and hang out giving smiles because of the ad break and it helped kill the momentum.

Could had better camera angles for Jericho's fall from the cage as well. I know it's fake but it's a hard sell for the commentary team when I can see quite clearly he just landed on some crash mats with cardboard on top.

Also the only women's match or segment on the card was a squash match which is poor.

Rest of the show was great and I'm super hyped for next week. Miro is, I assume, going to absolutely murder a now injured Darby Allin, Pac v Orange Cassidy should be great fun, and Mox vs Yuji Nagata should be really good.

heard rumours a few weeks ago on wrestlelamia (yeah yeah yeah) that Enzo and Big Cass might be coming back to wwe. Anyone heard anything like that? I thought they were canned because enzo raped someone and big cass was a drunk?

ok thanks
