  2. He's showing as working for NJPW... however that has been a few times now and not all the time he did work for NJPW and I could have used him. If he is available, I shall put him in, if not, I'll use Joe as a more than capable back up.
  3. Yeah... pretty much matches your predictions in my old dynasty.
  4. Hello Lloyd. Long time no see. How are you? How do you mean showing the All In footage? I have no footage to show. I'm confused. And the matches aren't for predictions, they are for the managers of each team to select their wrestlers for them. Thanks anyway though. If you have the time and want to join for season 2, assuming there will be one, you're more than welcome to. Though it is some time in the future yet. We're only about a quarter of the way through season 1 so far.
  5. Ironically, out of the eight who could be picked from either side is the man one side is named after, Bryan Danielson, is the only one who is not contracted to wrestle on B shows. However, being able to choose one from three is fairer than being able to choose one from one when it's not @PH71's fault

  10. PRE SHOW Jake Hager, Angelo Parker & Matt Menard beat Top Flight & Action Andretti when Hager submitted Andretti in 9:03 with a Patriot Lock. 54 COLLISION Saturday, week 3, February 2024 1st Bank Center, Broomfield, Colorado (3,342 capacity) Announcers: Kevin Kelly, Nigel McGuinness and Tony Schiavone We start with Tony Schiavone in the ring, in front of him is a table with two chairs each side. He introduces first FTR and then Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli of Blackpool Combat Club. They are there, of course, for a contract signing. The two sides talk smack about each other, get the contract for their Revolution match signed and then engage in a wild brawl in the ring and around ringside that goes on for a few minutes until Collision goes to it's first commercial of the night, for a well known brand of health insurance. 57 v AEW LEAGUE Team Swerve (Swerve Strickland (with Prince Nana), Samoa Joe (World champion) & Mike Santana) v Team WooItsNathan (Kip Sabian (with Penelope Ford), The Butcher & Anthony Bowens A decent match, and straight forward enough for Team Swerve who had the strongest team on paper and they didn't disappoint in the ring. Joe submitted Sabian in 7:24 with the Kakina Clutch. 63 The Butcher seemed off his game. Bowens benefitted from public support. House of Black are seen emerging from the shadows. Each take turns to speak, along the lines of they are on fire at the moment and when you play with fire you get burned. Julia Hart concludes the segment when she says the House always wins. 45 v AEW LEAGUE The Peak of Perfection ('The Virtuosa' Deonna Purrazzo & Thunder Rosa) v The Spooky Club (Julia Hart (TBS champion) & Abadon) A good match yet really one sided in favour of Peak of Perfection, so it came of little surprise when Rosa secured the win in 7:34, pinning Abadon with a Reverse DDT. 53 Abadon was the weak link (28, next worst Hart 38) Backstage and we see Bullet Club Gold attacking Bryan Danielson three on one. Wheeler Yuta, Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli come running to Danielson's aid but they're too late... White and the Gunns beat a hasty retreat and Danielson is already lying on the concrete. 55 v AEW INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP 'Freshly Squeezed' Orange Cassidy (champion) v Wheeler Yuta A good match, that as the match went on longer went more and more to the side of the champion. Yuta had an off night and would ordinarily put up a much stronger fight. Disappointing from him and Orange made defence number 8 of his title, pinning Yuta in 9:51 with an Orange Punch. 66 Cassidy out performed Yuta 71-57 Cassidy and Yuta have pretty good chemistry. Cassidy benefitted from a hot new move. La Facción Ingobernable are backstage. José the Assistant talks up the group, saying Dralistico is the best luchadore there is, Preston Vance is the best big man in AEW and Rush is a former and future World champion. 32 José turned heel, which went badly. v OWEN HART FOUNDATION MEN'S TOURNAMENT FIRST ROUND Roderick Strong v Brody King (with Julia Hart) A very even match, which may have surprised some given King's obvious size and aggressive advantage. Strong is a smart wrestler though, and he used all his smarts in this match to be competitive. So was it a surprise that Strong won? To some yes, to some no, though win he did in 8:34 by submission with a Strong Hold. 56 Hart did good work at ringside. King and Hart have pretty good chemistry. Renee Paquette is in the backstage interview area with Miro. Miro isn't happy that his wife CJ Perry is actively looking for another man to manage. He says he is the Redeemer and whoever Perry takes on, there will be redemption. 56 v AEW LEAGUE TV Network (Tessa Blanchard) v Timeless Ensemble ('Timeless' Toni Storm (Women's World champion, with Luther)) The singles debut of Blanchard in AEW and she certainly gave a very tough match to the Women's World champion. The champion managed to secure three points for her team in 8:51 by pinfall with a Strong Zero, though Blanchard acquitted herself well, and if she can stay trouble free will be a valuable addition to the female roster. 53 Lexy Nair is backstage with Black Lotus, with the injured Juice Robinson among them. Adam Copeland says they have started well, third place and seven wins from eleven matches is OK... but he says they need to step up to catch the leaders, Peak of Perfection. Juice says he is dying to return to the ring and kick some ass, while Skye Blue says all she wants is a chance to win her team some points. 59 v AEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP Tornado match Darby Allin & 'The Icon' Sting (champions, with Ric Flair) v The Gunns (with Jay White) A brutal match then went all round ringside and utilised lots of different weapons, including but not exclusive, chairs, tables, thumb tacks and ladders. By the end of the match all four men were bleeding. The champions retained, making defence number 1 of the titles, thanks a lot to Darby Allin's performance. Though it was his partner Sting who got the win in 11:29, submitting Colten Gunn to the Scorpion Deathlock. 59 Allin out performed everyone in the match (69, next best Sting 51) Colten Gunn was really off his game. Allin and Sting have great chemistry. The Gunns have great chemistry. Ric Flair did good work at ringside. In the parking lot, Don Callis is orchestrating his Family in an attack on Le Sex Gods. Unlike recent weeks, they have made the move in the attack so unlike recent weeks, it is the Family who win the fight and leave Jericho and Guevara writhing in pain. 53 v AEW LEAGUE The Golden Lion Club (Claudio Castagnoli & Lucha Brothers (with Alex Abrahantes)) v The Bryan Danielson Appreciation Society (Bryan Danielson, Eddie Kingston & Jon Moxley) A great match and one where the fans were treated to suspense, near falls, near submissions and some of the best action in AEW. Even Danielson and Kingston managed to park their differences apart from one brief disagreement about half way through the bout that Moxley quickly intervened in... and wth all the near finishes, nobody managed to nail down the finish, so the match finished in a 20:00 time limit draw. About the only disappointing thing was there was no winner. 72 - match of the night Castagnoli 66, Penta 70, Fénix 80, Danielson 78, Kingston 68, Moxley 72 Show rating: 67 AEW increased popularity in 3 regions.

  11. NEWS Hook, Darius Martin, Mike Santana and Dralistico returned clean drug tests at Showcase, Dynamite and Rampage. Tenille Dashwood has started her maternity leave. Panterita del Ring, Valiente & Pegasso have won the CMLL Mexican National Trios Championship, defeating Apocalipsis, Cholo & Disturbio.
  12. RAMPAGE Wednesday, week 3, February 2024 Broadcast on Friday, week 3, February 2024 HEB Center, Cedar Park, Texas (4,272 capacity) Announce team: Excalibur, Tony Schiavone and Matt Menard. OWEN HART FOUNDATION MEN’S TOURNAMENT FIRST ROUND Jon Moxley v Peter Avalon If you were late to the arena or miss the start of the show on the television, you’d have missed the opening match. Moxley made very short work of Avalon in 0:59, winning by pinfall with a Paradigm Shift. 57 Moxley far out performed Avalon 75-37 Backstage and Renee Paquette is with Kyle Fletcher. Fletcher says tonight he is going to become a dual champion when he beats Eddie Kingston to add the AEW Continental Championship to his ROH TV Championship. 47 La Facción Ingobernable (with José the Assistant) v The Iron Savages This was OK… Rush was clearly the best wrestler in the match while Jacked Jameson was clearly the weakest. LFI chalked up a comfortable win in 7:09 when Rush pinned Bronson with a La Lanza. 55 Jameson was worse than the others (24, next worst Vance 42) Backstage and CJ Perry is using her charms to try and recruit Jake Hager. Hager isn’t interested saying he has had a lot of success in and out of wrestling without her help and he’s happy to go on alone. 49 OWEN HART FOUNDATION WOMEN’S TOURNAMENT FIRST ROUND Megan Bayne v Hikaru Shida Not the best match, the wrestling was mediocre at best, and it was another easy win and a pretty one sided match. Shida took victory in 8:09 by pinfall with a Tamashii. 55 Shida out performed Bayne 59-40 Backstage and the Continental champion Eddie Kingston is with Renee Paquette. He says Kyle Fletcher is still a punk kid who needs lessons in how tough professional wrestling is… and Kingston says he will give him one tonight. 56 Le Sex Gods v The Righteous (with Jake Roberts) The best match of the night so far. Partly because the wrestling was better and partly because it was a lot closer than the previous matches had all been. Guevara was impressive and secured the win for Le Sex Gods, pinning Vincent in 10:54 with a Go to Hell. 57 Guevara out performed everyone else (65, next best Jericho 54) Le Sex Gods have great chemistry. A segment captioned “After Dynamite” sees MJF after his in ring return on Wednesday night, where he was victorious over Ricky Starks. MJF says he is so happy to be back after so long as World champion… after so long out injured… after learning how to be a good person… he is back, better than ever and will be World champion again for the Scumbags… but first he has to beat Will Ospreay... and because he is better than you, and you know it. 68 v AEW CONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP Eddie Kingston (champion) v Kyle Fletcher (with Don Callis) A good match and a decent reaction from the crowd. Even though Kingston didn’t perform to his best and Fletcher absorbed a lot of Kingston hard hits, he still defended his title in 12:25 by pinfall with a Huracan. 68 – match of the night Eddie Kingston seemed off his game. Kingston and Fletcher have great chemistry Show rating: 64 Attendance: 4,125 TV rating: 0.06 (50,340 viewers and 80,638 overall) QUICK RESULTS Eddie Kingston beat Kyle Fletcher to retain the Continental Championship Le Sex Gods beat The Righteous Hikaru Shida beat Megan Bayne in Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament First Round La Facción Ingobernable beat The Iron Savages Jon Moxley beat Peter Avalon in Owen Hart Foundation Men’s Tournament First Round
  13. PRE SHOW Top Flight beat Dark Order in 9:11 when Dante pinned Silver with a Red Eye. 59 DYNAMITE Wednesday, week 3, February 2024 HEB Center, Cedar Park, Texas (4,274 capacity) Announcers: Excalibur, Tony Schiavone and Taz Dynamite starts with World champion Samoa Joe and Swerve Strickland in the ring. Joe says he has an important title defence in the main event but he also has other business to attend to... and for once on of his Revolution challengers is somewhat on the same page as Joe as Swerve says it's the same business he needs to attend to... and the two say they are both pissed off that they have been beaten up by this mysterious man in black... and yet the same man in black leaves Adam Page alone. So Joe and Swerve call out Page. The Hangman's music hits and he walks to the ring. Page says he doesn't know what the two of them are accusing him of... he doesn't know why he wasn't beaten up last week when they were... and he doesn't know who this mystery man is. Swerve says that's bullshit, and Joe agrees, asking Page if he is in league with the Devil... Page denies it, and threatens to beat the hell out of them both because he's getting pissed off with the two of them saying he is behind backstage attacks when he is a man who'll punch you straight in your face. It looks like a brawl is about to start but security and a plethora of lesser wrestlers from the locker room have made their way to ringside and keep the three seperated, to the displeasure of the Cedar Park fans. 75 Strickland, Joe and Page all looked good. Strickland benefitted from a hot catchphrase. v AEW LEAGUE Team WooItsNathan (Anna Jay) v Black Lotus (Jamie Hayter) A decent enough match though in the end Hayter was way too strong for Jay and continued her very impressive return with a win in 10:53 by pinfall with a Falcon Arrow. Team WooItsNathan have lost their first ten matches and it's hard to tell at the moment where their first win will come from. 60 Hayter far out performed Jay 64-38 Hayter benefitted from public support. Renee Paquette is backstage with The Virtuosa. Deonna Purrazzo is asked how she feels not being able to get her hands on Toni Storm before Revolution. Purrazzo replies by saying at first she was very pissed off... but after a little while she came to terms with the ruling and is OK about it... she's going to channel her anger and aggression into the title match at Revolution... and she says that's going to be bad news for Toni Storm... but now she has her focus on her AEW League match with Athena. Which is next... 53 v AEW LEAGUE The Golden Lion Club (Athena) v The Peak of Perfection ('The Virtuosa' Deonna Purrazzo) Athena was a little off her game, which was a shame as the match was still decent and it seemed to allow Purrazzo to close out victory in 10:02 by submission with a Venus di Milo. 61 Athena seemed off her game. Athena benefitted from being in amazing form. Backstage and Jake 'The Snake' Roberts approaches Jack Perry. Perry asks Roberts what he wants, in a somewhat dismissive tone. Roberts tells Perry to show some respect to legends of the business... to which Perry asks why he should. Roberts is not fazed... and asks Perry if he is willing to do whatever it takes to be a success in AEW and the wrestling business. Perry answers that he is. Roberts' tone turns dark... "whatever?" he asks. Perry nods. Roberts says "let's talk" and the two walk away from camera. 45 v AEW LEAGUE TV Network (Will Ospreay) v Team Swerve (Mike Santana) Ospreay made an impressive debut two weeks ago when he defeated Jack Perry and here he was equally impressive as he made fairly comfortable work of defeating Santana. His win came in 9:13 by pinfall with a Storm Breaker. 68 Ospreay out performed Santana 71-53 Alex Marvez is backstage with the EVPs, Matthew and Nicholas Jackson. Nicholas says they tried to fine Darby Allin and Sting for their reckless destruction of property last week on Dynamite but Sting just laughed in their face... so Matthew says they have had another idea... and Darby and Sting will defend their World Tag Team Championship this week on Collision against The Gunns... and Nicholas finishes by saying they will be waiting to pick up the pieces of whoever wins. 56 v AEW LEAGUE Timeless Ensemble ('Timeless' Toni Storm (Women's World champion, with Luther) & Saraya (with Harley Cameron)) v The Bryan Danielson Appreciation Society (Hikaru Shida & Serena Deeb) The final league match of the night rounds off some decent league action on this week's Dynamite. This was a close match, but Saraya hasn't been on form recently and that was the difference maker when Deeb pinned Saraya in 13:29 with a Spear. 59 Cameron did good work at ringside. Saraya suffered from being in extremely poor form. Deeb benefitted from being in amazing form. The AEW League theme isn't quite done for the night as all members of The Spooky Club are backstage with Lexy Nair. Nair asks Sting for their thoughts. Sting says two wins isn't enough. Malakai Black comments that they must improve, as he is used to The House always winning while Danhausen standing next to Satnam Singh is quite an amusing sight. 45 v COPE OPEN 'Rated R Superstar' Adam Copeland v Satoshi Kojima A decent match overall, though Kojima was disappointing. His reputation and past performances worldwide suggested he would do much better than he did. Copeland's win was much easier than anybody thought it would be and came in 13:20 by pinfall with a Spear. 56 Copeland far out performed Kojima 68-33 Kojima was really off his game. Backstage and all of Undisputed Kingdom are in the interview area. Adam Cole acts as the main mouthpiece, Roderick Strong looks focused, The Kingdom look resplendant with the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Championship belts... while Wardlow has been a very naughty boy, shagging Harley Cameron behind her husband's back. Cole addresses Orange Cassidy, asking him where all of his Best Friends are... before Strong adds that he has none left, they've all been sent to the hospital. before challenging Cassidy to try and find one more friend as next week it will be Roderick Strong and Wardlow versus Orange Cassidy... and a friend if he has any left. 50 Adam Cole benefitted from a hot catchphrase. v MJF v 'Absolute' Ricky Starks (with Big Bill) The crowd go nuts for the much anticipated return of the longest reigning AEW World champion, MJF, though of course he is no longer the champion. It looked like he hasn't missed a step as he put in a really impressive performance to dispose of a very worthy opponent in Ricky Starks. He won in 14:22 by submission with a Salt of the Earth. 74 - match of the night MJF out performned Starks 78-62 Starks benefitted from being flavour of the month. Whoever the World champion is after Revolution had better watch out, MJF is back, he looks as great as ever and no doubt will have his eyes set on reclaiming what he will see as his World Championship... ...or will he, as Will Ospreay returns to the ring and the crowd go even more nuts than before. MJF looks both puzzled and annoyed that Ospreay has come out when MJF was celebrating a winning return. Ospreay grabs a mic from ringside and tosses one to MJF before he slides into the ring. Ospreay says "sorry for interrupting bruv"... but while I've beaten Orange Cassidy, Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega in AEW, I've never faced you bruv, and you're the man, you've held the title the longest... MJF looks a little happier, that Ospreay is giving him respect... Ospreay continues by saying it's time that changed... that time is Revolution... Ospreay and MJF one on one... what do you say, champ? MJF raises his mic to his mouth but pauses as the crowd are pretty much deafening at this point at the prospect of MJF v Ospreay. MJF says he accepts... and that he is better than you and you know it... Ospreay says "prove it bruv". 72 v AEW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP Samoa Joe (champion) v Hook (FTW World champion) This match was decent in it's own right, but was a comedown after the MJF Starks match and the following MJF Ospreay segment in the ring. The young Hook gave Joe some trouble with his throws and suplexes, but his relative inexperience showed as Joe took control of the match, and looked set to close it out... only for the mysterious man in black make an experience, and this time wearing a black hood so his face is completely covered. He went on to throw some right hands to Joe to floor him, and did so in a technique familiar to older fans of wrestling but not seen in AEW before. Rick Knox is left with no choice but to throw the match out in 12:47 and Joe is announced the winner by disqualification, meaning he makes defence number two of the AEW World Championship. Dynamite ends with Joe on the mat and the hooded man in black standing, almost motionless, above him, staring down at the prone champion. 60 Show rating: 65 AEW increased popularity in 14 regions.

  20. For some reason I can't get rid of that Malakai Black picture at the end of the post.
  21. PRE SHOW Angelo Parker & Matt Menard beat Iron Savages in 6:47 when Menard submitted Boulder with the Boston Crab. 50 COLLISION Saturday, week 2, February 2024 L. P. Frans Stadium, Hickory, North Carolina (4,000 capacity) Announcers: Kevin Kelly, Nigel McGuinness and Tony Schiavone FTR start Collision in the ring with Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli of Blackpool Combat Club. Dax Harwood say they are man enough to admit the Blackpool Combat Club got the better of them in their trios match on Collision last week... but that was trios and it will be different at Revolution in a tag team match. Jon Moxley is unusually calm and concise, simply saying "we'll see" before the drops the mic and leaves with Claudio Castagnoli. 55 v AEW LEAGUE The Spooky Club (Malakai Black (with Julia Hart)) v TV Network (Jay Lethal) A decent match and one that ebbed and flowed back and forth. Both men scored near falls over the other before the action spilled out to ringside. There the two got into trading hard blows at the bottom of the ramp and both men either ignored or couldn't hear Rick Knox's count... as he reached ten and the match ended up in a double count out in 13:12. One point for both teams. 50 Backstage and Lexy Nair is interviewing the Don Callis Family. Don Callis is complaining that Chris Jericho and Sammy Guevara are creating an unsafe working environment for his Family and they should be barred from the building and pretty much on cue, Jericho and Guevara arrive on scene and attack Callis' Family again, this time with steel chairs, causing Callis to run away and his Family to beat a retreat. 47 v OWEN HART FOUNDATION MEN'S TOURNAMENT FIRST ROUND Bishop Kaun (with Prince Nana) v Rey Fénix (with Alex Abrahantes) Fénix was very impressive in this match and always looked like the likely winner pretty much from the opening bell. Sure enough, he advanced to Round Two in 8:57 by pinfall with a Meteora. 69 - match of the night Fénix was far superior to Kaun 80-42 Jim Ross conducts a sit down interview with Bryan Danielson and Jay White. JR asks White how he feels against their match at Revolution. White says it has long been a dream of his to fight Danielson and he can't wait... and he can't wait to win in reality just like his dream. Danielson retorts by saying White will have a reality check... and he is living in dream land if he thinks he can win. 67 v AEW WOMEN'S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP AEW LEAGUE Timeless Ensemble ('Timeless' Toni Storm (champion, with Luther)) v Team WooItsNathan (Anna Jay) A bit lack lustre in the ring even though the crowd gave a decent reaction. Storm had most of the match and duly made her third successful title defence in 11:10 by pinfall with a Strong Zero. 47 Storm out performed Jay 53-37 Alex Marvez is backstage with Team Swerve who are minus Nick Nemeth who is again away with NJPW. Swerve Strickland says his team have started well with four wins and two defeats, though Mercedes Moné says as CEO she expects better... something Samoa Joe agrees with, saying champions do not accept any defeat. 60 v Miro v Jeff Jarrett (with Sonjay Dutt) Miro largely brutalised the veteran Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett tried to utilise all his cunning and experience to outwith the brute from Bulgaria... but Miro has brains as well as brawn and he despatched Jarrett in 10:30 by submission with a Game Over. 56 Miro out performed Jarrett 58-42 Jarrett benefitted from being in amazing form. Post match, Tony Schiavone joins Miro in the ring. Schiavone congratulates Miro on a big win, and Miro says yes and he wants more. 50 v AEW LEAGUE The Golden Lion Club (Athena) v Black Lotus (Jamie Hayter) A very even match that could have gone either way. In the end, Hayter continued her perfect record since her return to action and indeed ended The Golden Lion Club's perfect record, the last team to record a defeat from the start of the season. Hayters win came in 8:38 by pinfall wth a Curb Stomp. 62 Athena benefitted from being in amazing form. Hayter benefitted from public support. The House of Black are seen slowly emerging from the darkness with Malakai Black front and centre. Black says they have been a House on fire recently and he says they will continue to burn their foes. 49 v AEW LEAGUE The Peak of Perfection (Jay White, Killswitch & Wardlow v The Bryan Danielson Appreciation Society (Bryan Danielson, Jox Moxley & Eddie Kingston) A good match that saw a really conflicted Bryan Danielson Appreciation Society team. Danielson had no issues teaming with Moxley, however he and Kingston didn't want to be in the ring together and it showed, their team work was non existant. This also led to the finish when Kingston was going for a Huracan on White after Danielson had tagged himself in. White however ducked and Kingston nailed Danielson with it instead. White then followed it up with a Blade Runner to allow him to pin Danielson in 14:12 68 Bryan Danielson really stood out, out performing every one else (84, next best Moxley 72) White benefitted from being flavour of the month. Renee Paquette is backstage with MJF which draws a big reaction from the fans. Paquette asks MJF how he feels ahead of his much anticipated return to the ring next week. MJF says he can't wait to get back in the ring, to put on a show people won't forget and to get back on the road to winning the AEW World Championship. 71 v Adam Copeland & Daniel Garcia v Christian Cage (TNT champion) & Nick Wayne If Copeland & Garcia win then they both challenge for the TNT Championship at Revolution. If Cage & Wayne win the Copeland and Garcia cannot challenge for the TNT Championship for as long as Cage is champion. A decent match, one where the veterans put in better performances than the youngest though that is probably expected. Both teams battled hard to win this important match and it was Garcia who earned the win for his team in 16:02 when he submitted Wayne to a Dragon Slayer. 64 Cage benefitted from being in amazing form. Show rating: 65 Attendance: 3,868 TV rating: 0.97 (731,141 viewers and 1,037,607 overall) QUICK RESULTS Adam Copeland & Daniel Garcia beat Christian Cage & Nick Wayne Jay White, Killswitch & Wardlow beat Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley & Eddie Kingston (league match) Jamie Hayter beat Athena (league match) Miro beat Jeff Jarrett Toni Storm beat Anna Jay to retain the Women's World Championship (league match) Rey Fénix beat Bishop Kaun in Owen Hart Foundation Tournament First Round Malakai Black and Jay Lethal went to a double count out (league match)
  22. NEWS Gravity, Adam Copeland, Johnny TV, Jay White and Hook returned clean drug tests at Showcase, Dynamite and Rampage. Trent Beretta has signed a new 3 year contract with AEW. Kevin Lazar and Blue Nikita have started dating. Moeka Haruhi and Keisuke Ishii have started dating. Tayra Gates and Arash have started dating.
  23. RAMPAGE Wednesday, week 2, February 2024 Broadcast on Friday, week 2, February 2024 Entertainment & Sports Arena, Washington D.C. (4,200 capacity) Announce team: Excalibur, Tony Schiavone and Chris Jericho. Rampage starts with the FTW champion Hook with Renee Paquette. Hook is his usual cool and laid back self as he munches on a bag of chips. Renee asks Hook for his thoughts on tonight’s main event where he will defend his title against Claudio Castagnoli. Hook says “yeah… I’ll win”. Renee thanks Hook for his time and hands over to Excalibur, Tony Schiavone and Chris Jericho. 51 The Butcher & The Blade v The Hardys A decent match and again one where The Butcher was probably the best performer and yet he lost. He can’t catch a break at the moment. The Hardys’ win came in 9:49 when Matt pinned The Blade following a Twist of Fate and Swanton Bomb combo. 57 We go backstage where Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts is in the interview area. He warns Lance Archer that he is a legend in the business, he’s not somebody that you just cast aside. In years gone by he would have handled it himself but at his age and with his body in the condition it’s in, he can’t do that… but he still has his mind and he still has his words and he is legendary at playing mind games with people… so he warns Lance Archer that Snakes bite back. 50 OWEN HART FOUNDATION WOMEN’S TOURNAMENT FIRST ROUND Marina Shafir v Jamie Hayter A hard hitting match that perhaps surprisingly was a little lacklustre, though it had a good reaction from the crowd. Hayter continued her impressive return by winning in 9:10 by pinfall with a Curb Stomp. 51 Hayter far out performed Shafir 61-36 Hayter benefitted from public support. Backstage and it is now Claudio Castagnoli with Renee Paquette. He says Hook is an impressive young wrestlers, he’s tough, he has ability and he has the world at his feet. He tells Hook that despite that he’s never met the Swiss before and tonight he will have a big wrestling lesson. 55 OWEN HART FOUNDATION MEN’S TOURNAMENT FIRST ROUND Brent (with Brandon) v Austin Gunn (with Colten Gunn) Not a very good match and not much interest from the crowd. Austin advanced in 9:30 by pinfall. 45 Backstage and Jamie Hayter is recovering after her match earlier in the night. She tells the cameraman she is delighted to be back, everything is going well, she’s winning and beating people up. 64 v FTW CHAMPIONSHIP FTW RULES Hook (champion) v Claudio Castagnoli A decent match and one where Castagnoli was taking Hook to wrestling school for sections of it. Even so, it was Hook who made a successful third defence of his unofficial title in 14:21 when he won by submission with a Red Rum. 61 – match of the night Castagnoli far out performed Hook 66-43 Hook benefitted from public support and being flavour of the month. Show rating: 59 Attendance: 3,828 TV rating: 0.06 (50,420 viewers and 80,093 overall) QUICK RESULTS Hook beat Claudio Castagnoli to retain the FTW Championship Austin Gunn beat Brent in Owen Hart Foundation Men’s Tournament First Round Jamie Hayter beat Marina Shafir in Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament First Round The Hardys beat The Butcher & The Blade
  24. PRE SHOW Anna Jay beat Emi Sakura in 8:15 by pinfall with a Scissors Kick. 33 DYNAMITE Wednesday, week 2, February 2024 Entertainment & Sports Arena, Washington D.C. (4,200 capacity) Announcers: Excalibur, Tony Schiavone and Taz Before the first match, Excalibur informs everyone that both Nick Nemeth and Satoshi Kojima haven't been able to make tonight's show so they will be replaced in their matches against Chris Jericho and Adam Copeland. v AEW LEAGUE The Golden Lion Club (Ruby Soho) v The Spooky Club (Abadon) Not a good match and one that Soho was easily the better. Sure enough she emerged victorious in 7:37 by pinfall with a Destination Unknown. Eight wins out of eight for The Golden Lion Club. 41 Soho far out performed Abadon 51-23 After the match, a very annoyed looking Swerve Strickland strides to the ring, oblivious to the fact that Prince Nana is happily dancing away behind him to his entrance music. Swerve gets a mic and says he is pissed because of last week. Last week he got jumped from behind from a man dressed in black.... he doesn't know who it is... but he knows that the same thing happened to Joe the week before... and the person with the most to gain is Adam Page... Hangman be a man and fight face to face. So we have Swerve Strickland saying it is Adam Page and Samoa Joe saying it is The Devil. Who is the man in black? 62 v TBS CHAMPIONSHIP Julia Hart (champion, with Brody King) v Tenille Dashwood Not the best match, but an improvement from the young Hart in the ring and with the help of a couple of distractions from the always intimidating Brody King, got the win. A surprise? Perhaps, though Hart is champion and Dashwood is in the early stage of pregnancy. Hart won in 8:22 by submission with the Hartless and makes defence number six of the TBS Championship. 42 Backstage and Lance Archer is with Jake Roberts. Lance Archer isn't happy, he's not happy at losing, he's not happy at teaming with "a joker like Kip Sabian" and he's not happy he's not getting the regularly opportunity to kill people. The Snake isn't intimidated by The Murderhawk Monster, Roberts has never been one to be initimated... but he doesn't get any chance for any comeback as Archer says he doesn't need a manager any more. 51 v TNT CHAMPIONSHIP AEW LEAGUE Timeless Ensemble (Christian Cage, champion) v TV Network (Johnny TV) Comfortably the best match of the night so far and it was pretty even. When the pace slowed down, Cage had the advantage but when TV could increase the pace and use his parkour inspired style of wrestling, he gained the ascendancy. Ultimately it was experience and cunning that won through as Cage took the points and retained his title in 10:02 by pinfall with a Spear. Cage makes defence number two of the TNT Championship. 59 We are outside the office of the EVPs Matthew and Nicholas Jackson. They beckon the cameraman to follow them in as they have an important announce to make... only for them to find the World Tag Team champions Darby Allin and Sting waiting in their office for them. Darby looks pissed off but Sting is laughing maniacally... he says to the Jacksons that he is here for the disciplinary meeting... except he's not one for note taking and official warnings, he prefers to take action as he pulls out two baseball bats from behind the desk. He hands one to Darby and the two of them proceed to wreck the office... the desk, the chair, the computer, laptop and tablet even the pictures on the walls and the fish tank (poor fish) aren't safe. Matthew says that they are crazy and Sting, still laughing, yells that they are... before finally stopping their wrecking spree and saying he can't wait for Revolution. Nicholas hands them both a $5,000 fine and they will be billed for the damage... but Sting gets in his face, laughs again and says he doesn't care. 64 v AEW LEAGUE The Bryan Danielson Appreciation Society (Hikaru Shida & Riho) v Black Lotus (Kris Statlander & Jamie Hayter) A good and even match that featured three former Women's World champions. Black Lotus took the win to pull clear in third place in the league when Hayter pinned Riho in 11:30 with a Falcon Arrow. 60 Statlander and Hayter benefitted from public support. Backstage and Team WooItsNathan is with Lexy Nair. Lexy says that their team haven't had the best of starts in the league. The reply from Kip Sabian is one of sarcasm as he says "no shit Sherlock"... look at us... there are only five in our squad and one of them is injured. Where are the other two in the squad? And where is the manager to make the decisions. Nobody has seen him since we were signed. The Butcher says he is fed up of busting his ass and not getting anything for it... while Anna Jay and Diamante say they are trying their best but it is difficult when they have no direction and morale is at rock bottom. 35 v AEW LEAGUE The Peak of Perfection (Jay White, Killswitch & Wardlow) v Team Swerve (Swerve Strickland (with Prince Nana), Samoa Joe (World champion) & Mike Santana) A decent match and the regular trio of Peak of Perfection have proved to be the dominating team in the league so far... until now when the class of the World champion and one of the number one contenders really shined through in this match and to give Santana credit, he rose to the occasion and put in a good performance too. Team Swerve took the win in 11:52 when Strickland pinned Killswitch with a Swerve Stomp. 64 White benefitted from being flavour of the month. Backstage and Renee Paquette is with the Women's World champion Toni Storm, Luther, Mariah May and Storm's Revolution challenger Deonna Purrazzo. Half the screen where Storm and her entourage are is in black and white and the other half where Paquette and Purrazzo are is in full HD colour. Things are surprisingly calm between them all... and Renee explains why when she announces that Tony Khan has added a no contact clause ahead of their match at Revolution unless Storm and Purrazzo meet in a sanctioned match. Storm looks happy as she says that now the show can go on as planned while Purrazzo initially seems annoyed... how she has a mischievous grin when she says that while she can't touch Toni Storm... she can touch Mariah May and she swiftly attacks her and throws her into the video screen at the back of the set. The champion can't do anything to stop her due to the no contact clause, so instead she screams as May is getting assaulted. 56 v COPE OPEN Adam Copeland v Preston Vance (with José the Assistant) A bit of a comedown, all respect to Preston Vance to go from Satoshi Kojima to him... but credit to him for stepping up at the last moment for the Cope Open. He was convincingly beat though in 10:55 by pinfall with a Spear. 62 José did good work at ringside. Backstage and Undisputed Kingdom are continuing their gang attacks on individual members of Best Friends... this time it is Chuck Taylor who is laid out. Orange Cassidy and Trent Beretta run to the scene to check on Taylor but it is too late. The damage is already done and Undisuputed Kingdom have already gone. 49 v 'The Ocho' Chris Jericho v Rey Fénix The main event should have seen Nick Nemeth make his AEW debut, but he's not here so Rey Fénix takes the match at short notice. And he should have won, he was much better than Jericho, but he came up short after an aerial miscalculation in 15:22 saw him miss the foot stomps and as he rolled through he was hit by a Judas Effect and then pinned. 66 - match of the night Jericho seemed off his game. Fénix far out performed Jericho 77-50 Like the last two weeks, everyone thinks the show has finished... but like the last two weeks we see from a distance down a backstage corridor the man dressed in black. Adam Page is in front of him, posturing like he's ready for a fight... only for the black clad man to not touch him and simply walk away. The cameraman runs down the corridor to get closer but the black clad man has gone and Adam Page puts his hand to the camera. This proves the black clad man isn't Adam Page, but why wasn't he attacked like Swerve Strickland and Samoa Joe were the previous two weeks. Is Joe right, is it The Devil? 71 Show rating: 64 AEW increased popularity in 9 regions. Attendance: 3,828 TV rating: 1.06 (800,990 viewers and 1,419,894 overall) QUICK RESULTS Chris Jericho beat Rey Fénix Adam Copeland beat Preston Vance Swerve Strickland, Samoa Joe & Mike Santana beat Jay White, Killswitch & Wardlow (league match) Kris Statlander & Jamie Hayter beat Hikaru Shida & Riho (league match) Christian Cage beat Johnny TV to retain the TNT Championship (league match) Julia Hart beat Tenille Dashwood to retain the TBS Championship Ruby Soho beat Abadon (league match)
