Peppermint Rage Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I'm gonna drop this after this message and not bring it up again, I will admit that perhaps I came on a bit aggressive, though I did say an acknowledgement and an apology would make me pretty happy, that's not a lot, as for the tweet, Blake said it better than I possibly could.

Mootinie Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Can we please see Pac force a divide between Fenix & Pentagon so we can finally see Fenix in the world title picture Oh yes please, he's so good! For some reason, I think he's one handsome man under that mask too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 I think it's more likely PAC or Pentagon will see a title shot before Fenix. All three would probably have much better matches with Mox than Hager though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milamber Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 - Cool intro. It's nice to see the TNT title being treated as a big deal instead of a prop to get for midcarders and jobbers TV time. - Sammy vs Darby was great. Enjoyed the creative use of limb targeting and how it played into the finish. - Letting Hardy promo as himself as well is a good idea. His Broken voice gets annoying quickly. - Technique by Taz. - Loincloth Eagles vs Omega was solid. Jericho is the master of putting himself and others over at the same time. - Nice Scorpio Sky video. Is that the first time BTE has been advertised during Dynamite? - Havoc vs OC was good. Happy OC won although it made him some enemies. - I wonder if they will have Wardlow sub in for MJF against Mox at DoN 2. Assuming Archer is tied up with Cody the only other heel with enough momentum for a title shot is Brodie Lee. - Let's Flim Flam! - Dustin vs Sabian was solid but the retirement stipulation didn't work without a crowd reacting to the nearfalls. Better than last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitarzu Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Directly promoted yes, referenced on broadcast no. I'm sure I've heard Excalibur at least five teams. Given they had around a dozen of matches they improve part of the production, graphics for example, for this batch of BTE episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 Matt Hardy's promo was top notch. Loved the opening Cody vignette. Enjoyed Sammy vs Darby but I wish Sammy would have won. Jericho on commentary is so fun. He made a great call during the main event where he said if there was an audience, Dustin Rhodes would have the advantage because he feeds off the crowd. Such a good line of commentary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milamber Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 For anyone interested in Anna Jay(y) here's some of her indie work. For a rookie she appears to be good at getting through a heel promo with crowds chanting at her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaysin Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 Looks like it's gonna be Brodie Lee vs Moxley at Double or Nothing. The main event was entertaining as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milamber Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 - Janela vs Cody was good. - A rare women's division promo! Fatal 4-Way to crown Shida as #1 Contender next week. Nyla's promo and squash match were fun. - I think MJF vs Mox was the original plan for DoN so MJF was probably legit injured and they're being cautious. Spears is still salty LOL. - Kaz vs Mox was good. There it is... Mox vs Brodie Lee for the title. Getting epic Shield vs Wyatt Family flashbacks. - QT vs Archer was solid. Brandi is a decent promo with the right material. She's smart but she made a mistake messing with Dr. Britt's shoe. Holy crap that snake freaked me out! - Le Sex Gods vs Omega & Hardy was easy MOTN. Fantastic use of the location. Pineapple Pete looking to get his head bashed in next week. Good show. I've gotten used to the quietness but having a bunch of animated wrestlers does make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s funny how I also was interested to see the actual breakdown by segment this week and heard that stat about outdrawing Raw. Part of the fun in the ratingz warz days was that the TV audience was elastic and gave a good indicator of what segments were actually keeping people’s attention, who could draw, etc. WWE used to listen to those numbers a lot more than they seem to listen to crowds now... I wonder at what point would AEW declare “victory” over NXT and move nights to counterprogram one of the A shows, or if TNT would prefer to just keep them there.

I wonder at what point would AEW declare “victory” over NXT and move nights to counterprogram one of the A shows, or if TNT would prefer to just keep them there. They'd have to start hitting old Impact numbers before I'd do that. 1.5M on Wednesday and I pull the trigger and go the kill. That's a long way, and much less geek wrestling before we can get there, and I'd say they've cooled off in the last two years. Even with Raw and Smackdown toileting, once everything is back to normal he probably gets 20% or so of that viewership back. People aren't going to be watching Cable News for the rest of their lives.

Mootinie Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I hope Dynamite stays on Wednesday's myself. As much as people want competition, I wish wrestling companies would do more to help one another sustain their audiences because the real competition is other programming that people are tuning into instead of wrestling. I'm not sure that dividing the audience helps with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Jobs To Me Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Yeah I also hope Dynamite stays on Wednesdays. I have other shows I watch on Monday and Friday. I'm the opposite, Wednesday is the only day of the week where I'm actually overloaded with programs (temporarily), with Survivor and the Challenge. Don't have any other shows getting the DVR treatment at the moment. And competition is exactly what WWE needs, it's no accident that the ratings peaked and more stars were made when there were two viable mainstream choices on at the same time. Not saying it's imminent, just the eventual move as I see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Watched Dynamite... and I think I hate having wrestlers in the crowd now. It's fine if you're just putting on matches and want some noise, but not if you're trying to sell serious angles. It kills it. Dark Order assault Moxley, and there's Private Party, just watching. Either they're cowards, or they really dislike Moxley, or it's just a show and doesn't matter. Brandi gets a snake on her (was that ever scary? seems harmless) and Trent's just there. Omega & Hardy get beaten up 5-on-2, and Billy Gunn's just following it around. Enjoying the show. So it's pretend. I'm really enjoying MJF and Shawn Spears... except when they're being glib assholes in the crowd during important matches. Nothing deflates a moment like someone with an "I don't care" attitude. I like their promos when they care about what they're talking about. I don't need to see them roll their eyes around the Murderhawk. The main event was fun. I wish they'd taken a bit more time with it. The Three-Faces-of-Hardy idea could have been something really interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
