<p>blah, I didn't like anything on this week's show, even fell asleep during the main event.</p><p> </p><p>

As long as they beat NXT (and RAW in the demo? <img alt=":eek:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />) in ratings it's fine to me. I just want WWE's butt to be kicked till they realize that they are even worse and have to change big time. One can have dreams, right? <img alt=":o" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/redface.png.900245280682ef18c5d82399a93c5827.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

I'm assuming it's Cody vs. Cardona for the TNT title at All Out. Although, I'd be intrigued if they had Cody lose next week against Scorpio Sky after interference from Cardona, if that gets us more Scorpio Sky on Dynamite then I'm all for it!

 

The Debate was lots of fun. I thoroughly enjoyed Bischoff, who played his role to perfection. I think Cassidy wins next week, I really do.

 

Mox vs. Darby was perfect, I did bite after Mox got hit with the belt followed by the Coffin Drop because you wouldn't lose anything by doing a three-way at All Out for the title, with Darby going in as the defending Champion. They didn't go that route and that's fine, I'm sure Team Taz vs. Darby is the story they do now.

 

My only complaint about the show, and it's been a persistent one, is that Santana & Ortiz lost again. They feel like they're being wasted at the moment.

 

Speculative All Out card:

- Jon Moxley vs. MJF (AEW title)

- Cody vs. Matt Cardona (TNT title)

- Page & Omega vs. FTR (Tag Titles)

- Shida vs. Nyla Rose (Women's Title)

- Darby Allin vs. Brian Cage

 

Looks great to me. :)

Wouldn't Evil Uno and Stu Grayson getting the title shot make more sense, given they're the Dark Order's premier tag team?

They already lost their title shot a couple of weeks ago. Brodie is head of the stable and he and Colt are undefeated in tag matches. If they challenge, Kenny and Hangman won't back down.

Seems like they're holding off on FTR/Bucks for a while. All Out would be a good show for them to face off, but that can definitely be pushed back to Full Gear or even Revolution if they want to wait for some sort of crowd.

 

All Out seems to be the best time for Page and Omega to lose and for one to turn on the other.

Haven't watched Dynamite in a while. The wife still watches Being the Elite, and I'm starting to enjoy the Dark Order. Everyone's developing their own little personallities in this dorky little group. Silver. Reynolds. Grayson. Brodie's actually impressing me as a talker. A bit.

The constant death by papers has me in fits of laughter every time.

How do people like this crap. AEW is for 6 year olds. Freaking trents moms can getting destroyed! It baffles me how people over the age of 10 watch this!

 

first off, please don't use a swear such as cr*p, and second off, that is very mean to AEW so please don't be offensive

Shrug, life sucks. Goofy harmless fun like a blood feud revolving around someone's mum's car getting done in or a blow off match being hyped up during a faux debate is more entertaining than the standard "grr he bad me good" type stuff. It distracts the mind.

I kind of get where you are coming from, but it is really breaking kayfabe and it’s very silly.

That's extremely rude. AEW is not crap. It's not okay to cuss at AEW. Please don't be mean to AEW.

 

Lol you took what I said and replaced it with AEW. That’s pretty clever actually. Sorry I said c*ap, I wasn’t aware it wasn’t allowed. I personally don’t like AEW but I respect it if you do. Please don’t mock me though. It hurts my feelings.

That's ok. I just found it hypocritical that you used the exact same criticism that you hated seeing used against WWE. If the product isn't good in your opinion, that's your opinion, and that's ok. I feel the same way about WWE. I just don't go into WWE threads just to say that.

 

I personally think it's hilarious that they destroyed Trent's mom's van, and it makes me excited to see the rematch. I can't say I'm excited about a single match in WWE at the moment, but here I am excited about a blood feud over a van.

Yes but it breaks kayfabe.

Is it really anymore breaking kayfabe than believing that there is a man who can seemingly transform at will between a modern era Mr Rogers and a hell clown? Best Friends vs Santana & Ortiz is like classic high school movie jocks vs nerds type stuff.
