AEW: Changing The Culture

[Uncrewed]

It's been almost two years since All Elite Wrestling was founded to give wrestling fans an alternative to "sports entertainment." In those two years, it's been through enough craziness to probably last two decades. But now, that era is behind us and it's time to get back to doing what we set out to do in the first place, changing the culture of pro wrestling!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And we might know just the guy to do it...

 

 

 

(OOC: I'm back! It's been a year or so since I last posted really anything here, but I'm back with a dynasty featuring a company that's sort of re-lit the writing spark for me, AEW!)

 

(We're going to be starting in August in-game and I already have everything written up to All Out, so no abandoning this dynasty after two shows )

Thanks man, it's good to be back!

[Gentleman Raven]

Very interested in getting in on the ground level here. Glad I went with WCW 1995 instead of AEW. Not sure I could compete with the likes of you.

[PuroJoshi]

Great to see you back at it mate, excited to see what you can achieve!

 

I'm very out of the wrestling bubble these days, so I don't really know what's happening on TV. All I will say is push Yuka Sakazaki to the moon

[Bigelow Cartwheel]

Welcome back dude. Wow, that roster is really big when you present it like this

[Uncrewed]

Thanks everyone for the support!

Yeah the roster is huge, tbf most of it is the lower midcard/jobbers, but that's why we have four shows I guess.

AEW Dynamite: Homecoming- August 4th, 2021

 

AEW Dynamite: Homecoming Edition- August 4th, 2021:

Attendance: 4,765 at Daily's Place (Jacksonville, Florida)

Commentary Team: Jim Ross, Excalibur, & Tony Schiavone

 

It's Wednesday Night and you know what that means! It's time for AEW Dynamite: Homecoming live from Daily's Place in beautiful Jacksonville, Florida! Jim Ross, Exalibur, and Tony Schiavone quickly run down the card for tonight before we go straight into our opening action...

 

The Third Labor of Jericho:

VS

Chris Jericho vs Juventud Guerrera

It's the Third Labor of Jericho set by MJF. Jericho must beat his old WCW rival Juventud Guerrera with a top rope move in order to get one step closer to MJF. This match is a good match and the crowd is (as always) behind Jericho. Jericho and Juventud start the match with a quick handshake before the two veterans lock up. Jericho eventually gets the upper hand and hits Juventud with an arm drag. Jericho throws Juventud off the ropes and attempts a lariat, but Juventud jumps over him and hits him with a dropkick. Juventud goes to the top rope and attempts a splash, but Jericho gets his knees up just in time. Jericho goes to the top rope and hits Juventud with a diving dropkick. He goes for the cover, but Juventud kicks out at two. The match comes to an end when Jericho goes for a diving elbow drop, but Juventud rolls out of the way. Juventud then attempts the Juvi Driver, but Jericho reverses it into a Codebreaker! Jericho then goes to the top rope and hits Juventud with a top rope Judas Effect (Spinning Back Elbow Strike)! Jericho then covers Juventud and gets the three!

WINNER: Chris Jericho

GRADE:

 

 

After the match is over, Chris Jericho celebrates his victory until...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MJF & Wardlow attack!

 

MJF and Wardlow beat the living hell out of Jericho before MJF grabs a microphone. MJF says that Jericho may have gotten through three labors, but the fourth will be his last. That's because for the fourth labor of Jericho, he will face Wardlow with MJF as the special guest referee! MJF sarcastically wishes Jericho good luck to close this segment.

GRADE:

 

 

We then cut to the backstage area, where Dasha Gonzalez is interviewing the Lucha Brothers and Alex Abrahantes. She asks them where the third member of the Death Triangle, PAC, is, to which Abrahantes says that his transportation was cancelled by someone. Suddenly, they're interrupted by...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Andrade El Idolo & Chavo Guerrero!

 

Andrade says it's a real shame about what happened to PAC, but he's not worried about that, he's here to talk business. Chavo says that the offer is still on the table for the Lucha Bros and Andrade to work together, but he's interrupted by Penta, who says something really intense in Spanish. Abrahantes translates and says Penta says that The Lucha Bros work for no one! The Lucha Bros and Abrahantes walk off as Andrade says that he knows a way to get them on his side.

GRADE:

 

 

w/ VS

Darby Allin, Eddie Kingston, & Jon Moxley w/Sting vs The Wingmen

This match came about on last night's episode of Dark, where The Wingmen decided to challenge three of AEW's top starts in Darby Allin, Eddie Kingston, & Jon Moxley for some ungodly reason. This match isn't really competitive and the crowd is really behind Allin, Kingston, & Moxley. All three men dominate The Wingmen until eventually Darby Allin finishes off Ryan Nemeth with the Coffin Drop (Reverse Facing Diving Senton).

WINNERS: Darby Allin, Eddie Kingston, & Jon Moxley

GRADE:

 

 

We cut to The Elite's locker room, where Kenny Omega is standing with Don Callis. Omega says he's heard that Hangman Page is coming out for an interview later, which is laughable because Hangman is nothing more than a loser! Omega says that he's looking forward to hearing whatever Page says because it's sure to be laughable! Omega finishes by saying that he's so interested in what Hangman has to say, he might just come out to watch it unfold.

GRADE:

 

 

VS w/

Christian Cage vs The Blade w/The Bunny

Cage has been feuding with The Hardy Family Office the past few weeks, so The Blade is next in line to face him. This match is a good match and the crowd is solidly behind Christian. The Blade starts the match off with an attempted sucker punch, but Christian dodges it and hits Blade with a neckbreaker. Christian attempts a back body drop, but The Blade lands on his feet and clobbers Christian with a lariat. The Blade then hits Christian with a big back suplex. The match comes to an end when The Blade attempts a powerslam, but Christian wiggles out of it and hits Blade with the Killswitch (Inverted Double Underhook Facebuster)! Christian covers Blade and gets the three!

WINNER: Christian Cage

GRADE:

 

 

After a commercial break, Tony Schiavone is in the ring with Hangman Page. Schiavone asks Page about the last few weeks, which Page responds by saying that it's been very tough. From losing the number one contendership to tensions with The Dark Order, Page says it's been tough, but he's tough enough to handle it. Page says that he's focused on winning back his number one contendership and taking the AEW World Championship from Kenny Omega and almost on cue...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kenny Omega and Don Callis make their way to the entrance ramp!

 

Omega scoffs at Page's idea and says that there's no way Page will ever come close to touching the AEW World Title. Omega says that as long as Hangman hangs out with a bunch of nerds called The Dark Order, there's no way Page can be successful. Page interrupts Kenny and calls him a coward for ducking him and says that he knows that if Kenny Omega goes one on one with Hangman Page, Page will walk out with all the gold! Don Callis interrupts both men and says that he has a proposition. Callis says that if Hangman Page can defeat every member of The Elite in a gauntlet match next week on the first episode of AEW Rampage, he'll face Kenny Omega at All Out! However, there's a twist. If anybody helps Hangman Page, Page can never challenge for the AEW World Championship as long as Omega is champion! Hangman agrees to the challenge and says that he doesn't need any help to defeat The Elite. Callis says that's good because he might need it sooner rather than later...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Almost on cue again, The Young Bucks and The Good Brothers jump the ring and beat the living daylights out of Hangman Page! The Good Brothers hit Page with the Magic Killer, but before anything else can happen...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Dark Order make their way to the ramp!

 

However, before they can do anything, Evil Uno stops them and says that Hangman said he doesn't need their help, so they won't help. The Dark Order stubbornly watch from the ramp as Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks hit Page with the BTE Trigger and hold their titles over him as we go to commercials.

GRADE:

 

 

AEW TNT Championship Match:

VS

Miro © vs Matt Sydal

Miro's been on a path of destruction ever since he won the TNT Championship a few months back and now he's set to face Matt Sydal, who's been racking up momentum on Dark the past few weeks. This match is a good match and the crowd is solidly behind Sydal. Miro starts the match off by attempting a lariat, but Sydal ducks it and hits Miro with an enzuigiri. Sydal goes to the top rope and attempts a moonsault, but Miro dodges it and hits Sydal with a big splash. Miro whips Sydal into the turnbuckle and hits him with a big boot. The match comes to an end when Miro attempts a military press slam, but Sydal reverses it into a hurricanrana. Sydal goes to the top rope and attempts the Shooting Sydal Press, but Miro rolls out of the way and locks Sydal in the Game Over (Camel Clutch)! Sydal eventually passes out and referee Aubrey Edwards calls for the bell.

WINNER: Miro

GRADE:

 

 

After the match is over, we cut to Tony Schiavone backstage with Britt Baker & Rebel. Baker says she's ready to get out of Jacksonville and into her hometown of Pittsburgh next week. Baker says she knows she has to face Red Velvet next week on the debut episode of Rampage, but that's no big deal, because there's no doubt in her mind that Red Velvet will lose to Dr. Britt Baker D. M. D. Suddenly...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Red Velvet makes her way onscreen!

 

Velvet says that Britt Baker is making a dumb decision by underestimating her, because she is better than Baker and she'll prove that next week on Rampage. Out of nowhere, Rebel hits Velvet with her crutch! Red Velvet crumbles to the floor in pain and Baker sarcastically asks Velvet if she saw that coming before we go to commercials.

GRADE:

 

 

VS

Tay Conti vs Leyla Hirsch

The winner of this match will go on to NWA's first ever all-women's PPV (NWA EmPowerrr) to face NWA World Women's Champion Kamille. This match is a good match and the crowd is solidly behind Conti. Conti and Hirsch start the match off with a collar and elbow tie-up before Hirsch hits Conti with a German suplex. Hirsch puts Conti in a headlock, but Conti slips out and hits Hirsch with a high knee. Conti throws Hirsch into the corner and hits her with a running big boot before attempting a back suplex. That gets reversed into a bulldog from Hirsch. The match comes to an end when Hirsch tries locking Conti in an armbar, but Conti powers out of it and hits Hirsch with a powerbomb! Conti then hits Hirsch with her finisher, the DD-Tay (Hammerlock DDT) ! Conti then covers Hirsch and gets the three, making Conti the number one contender to the NWA Women's Championship!

WINNER: Tay Conti

GRADE:

 

 

w/VS

Cody Rhodes w/Arn Anderson vs Malakai Black

These two have been feuding since last month, when Black made his AEW debut by attacking Cody and Arn Anderson with two vicious roundhouse kicks. This is a great match and the crowd is solidly behind Cody. Cody starts the match off by attempting to kick Black, but Black catches him with a kick of his own and applies a kneebar. Cody wiggles out of that, but Black almost immediately catches him with a leg sweep! Black attempts to lock in a Boston Crab, but Cody reaches the ropes. Black attempts a roundhouse kick, but Cody ducks it and attempts the Cross Rhodes, but Black counters that with a jumping knee! The match ends when a dazed Cody stumbles to the turnbuckle, but Black follows him and nails him with a running knee, sending Cody through the timekeeper's table!!! Cody eventually gets back up and into the ring, but he is immediately met by Black's finisher, the Ogentroost (Spinning Roundhouse Kick)! Black puts his foot and Cody and that's all she wrote.

WINNER: Malakai Black

GRADE:

 

 

After the match is over, Cody is left alone in the ring. Cody eventually grabs a microphone and begins to talk about his career. He talks about his journey to AEW, about how it was formed, and how they're now no longer the alternative, but now they're competition. Cody says he's set the table and led the charge for AEW for years now, but it might be time for someone new to take the reins. Cody thanks the fans for everything before taking off his boots and leaving them in the middle of the ring. Before anything else can happen though...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Malakai Black gets back down to the ring and hits him with a crutch!

 

Black, evidently not satisfied with the beating he just gave to Cody, beats the living daylights out of him with the crutch. He then picks up Cody and hits him with another Ogentroost! Malakai Black stands tall over a lifeless Cody as Dynamite comes to a close...

Wrestling Observer Newsletter, August 5th, 2021

By: Dave Meltzer

 

Probably the biggest news coming out of this week was the announcement that AEW had bought Pro Wrestling Guerilla. Tony Khan was looking for a company where the younger and more inexperienced wrestlers in AEW could wrestle in and he found it in PWG. In the agreement between Tony Khan and PWG owner Super Dragon, it states that AEW essentially uses PWG as a developmental company, but PWG still gets to use their already established roster. PWG will also get a few AEW mainstays to participate in their monthly events, as seen at their most recent event Mystery Vortex 7. At the event, three AEW stars appeared: The Dark Order's Player Uno and Stu Grayson (defeating Aramis & Rey Horus), Orange Cassidy (who defeated Brody King), and Malakai Black, who debuted at the end of the show, attacking PWG World Champion Bandido. No word yet on who AEW has sent down to PWG already.

 

In what is becoming a weekly trend at this point, WWE released more workers, this time mostly from NXT. Chief among them being Bronson Reed, Bobby Fish, and Mercedes Martinez. This was mostly seen as a cost-cutting move initiated by Nick Khan and Vince McMahon. The Reed firing is probably the most surprising to me, because he was lined up for a main roster run not even a month ago, but apparently those plans fell through.

 

On the topic of NXT, there is a lot of speculation that Adam Cole's contract is coming up and he could be the subject of a bidding war. I can confirm this is true and both WWE and AEW are making big bids for him. If he resigns with WWE, he is expected to go to the main roster, but if he goes to AEW, a ready-made feud with The Elite is almost certainly in order.

 

Any relationship between WWE & NJPW seems to be dead in the water. NJPW President Takami Ohbari sat down with local media this week and said that he doesn't like the WWE system of hoarding talent and not letting them compete around the world for multiple companies. NJPW is expected to double down on their team up with AEW, as Lance Archer is set to defend the IWGP United States Championship at an upcoming NJPW USA show against Hiroshi Tanahashi.

 

Speaking of AEW, they posted their biggest viewership ever this week when nearly one and a half million people tuned in to see Dynamite this week. That is slightly bigger viewership than their debut episode nearly two years ago. Dynamite viewership is starting to rival WWE Raw viewership, which only saw 1.95 million viewers tune in this week.

 

That's all for this week's edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, we'll be back next week for more news from around the wrestling world.
