I think AEW also ahs the best heel in MJF. The guy plays his part perfectly

MJF needs to learn how to get heat without all the shock jock promos. Any random person can go out and talk like a 16yr old playing Call of Duty.

Just got around watching All out, HOLY! What a ppv! Honestly this was the best show i've seen in a while in all of sports.
Am I the only Statlander mark over here? I just love everything about her. The match with Britt was quite nice.
The crowd was hot all night long, major props to them.
Miro is just awesome, he is just so into his character and plays it perfectly. A beast in the ring and on the mic.
The Jericho match surprised me, I havent really enjoyed his in ring work for some years now, but this match delivered imo. Its a nice end to the feud with MJF.
The whole show top to bottom was good, though I skipped some of the battle royale and the Big Show match.
Ruby Soho to me is meh, was never really a fan and I think AEW already has many women who I enjoy watching more, but it was still a nice moment for her and the crowd. She seemed genuinely happy.
Adam Cole is just perfect with the Elite and fits in AEW like a glove. Hangman Page cannot come back soon enough.
Bryan is a nice cherry on top, though i've watched him for too long in wwe. I just hope they don't push him straight to the top and have him wrestle weekly and take too much tv time.
It feels like a new era/season for AEW, they have all it takes now to consistently put on good shows. That's all that matters to me really. Ratings and stuff like that are a direct consequence of the weekly shows they put on. Good wrestling matches, multiple consistent storylines and not having the same exact people main eventing every show is all it takes to keep the fans tuning in.

I didn't post this from Statlander last week, and I'm a fan too but I've never seen this before. Was a really impressive move.

Read on Twitter

Thought the women's title matches was one of the better ones from All Out.

Did they just sort of quietly break off inner circle and the pinnacle? Really haven't seen much stable activity from them in a while. That last month or so of Jericho vs MJF was more of a singles feud. And seems like all the other members have been doing their own thing separately.

The ending of the Y2J/MJF match left me with that impression.

Won't lie, Pac/Andrade would have fit right in on PPV.

I agree and I wonder what a promo from him would be like if you took away that particular crutch. Kind of reminds me of an Indy guy. The way marks worship the ground he walks on is trending him towards highly overrated especially when you consider that he’s quite mediocre in the ring.

Rampage was pretty good.

PAC and Andrade was a great match. The ending was convoluted and confusing though. I know Andrade was with Chavo, but I have no clue who the other guy is/was. Felt like I’ve never seen him before. And then Andrade turns on Chavo after Chavo helped him win the match? They’ve been together for like a month. It was surprising, sure, but didn’t have any weight behind it because it hasn’t been long enough.

Cole/Bryan pre-packaged promo was good. Both guys looked and sounded completely serious — loved it.

Skimmed through the women’s match. Didn’t look very good from what I saw (and I do like pretty much every woman in the match, especially Brit and Statlander). I landed on a spot where Brit was in the ring illegally and the ref was counting to 5 for her to leave, but the spot took too long so he just stopped counting. JR even said something about it.

Solid debut match for Adam Cole. Only gripe I had was him doing the Shawn Michaels shtick, tuning up the band.

For as basic as some of MJF’s promos are (not in a bad sense, but just that it’s simple stuff), he really gets people riled up and attracts heat.

Edit: Jeez. They must’ve said sh*t 56 times on this show. I’m all for edginess, but I don’t think we need that in every segment. It was beyond overkill.

Rosario Dawson is like one of my all-time celebrity crushes, I approved of that segment.

I am so glad I got tickets for next week's show

Loved the shot fired from Christian to Cole: your used to losing Wednesday night wars

AEW beat RAW again in the 18-49 demo.

NinjaBro · Post #1616 » by **NinjaBro** » Fri Sep 17, 2021 1:01 am

Another great Dynamite. Loved the American Top Team/Jericho segment. Dan Lambert is fantastic LOL, so great. Pretty annoyed that they had Paige VanZant on the show and she was regulated to the background with chumps like Andrei Arlovski and Junior Dos Santos. She's a damn superstar and they better start using her soon.

Loved that segment too, pretty much loved the whole show. Great to see AEW getting all these A level celebrities on their show. Had Giannis there with half his teammates too when they were in Milwaukee. Can't stop this AEW train that keeps on rolling.

That Brit Ruby verbal exchange was great

Amare_1_Knicks · Post #1620 » by **Amare_1_Knicks** » Sat Sep 18, 2021 1:51 pm

A so-so episode of Rampage. Too much Matt Hardy and co. on this one hour show. The whole first hour was his group, and I just don’t need to see that much of him or them.

The Ruby/Brit segment was good. Ruby seemed shaky at times but held it together and got her big lines out. The crowd was into it as they usually are with Brit.

Miro and Fuego wasn’t a main event caliber match for either of their tv programs. Wasn’t a hot enough to home angle either. The crowd wasn’t very into it, went longer than it should’ve and Fuego doesn’t really have any business on national tv, much less in the main event. I get it was really to set up the feud with Sammy, but surely that could’ve been done without having Fuego who has 1 AEW victory, go 10-12 minutes with Miro.
