Also so happy to see Omega back

mallowciraptor · 08-17-2022, 08:42 PM

Great ovation for Kenny tonight. Glad to see him back!

DonrussDean · 08-17-2022, 08:43 PM

Glad Kenny is back, but was hoping Andrade got some gold and his team won this belt, but no way Omega and Bucks lose tonight.

DonrussDean · 08-17-2022, 09:05 PM

ME was good, just hope they didn't rush him back as he looked really bad, I expected him to rusty, but he looked like he was 70% tbh.

The ending was kind of WCW type with the crap going on and them just leaving. There are just way too many commercials anymore to really dive in and enjoy dynamite. The show tonight was still good tho.

cardcollector34 · 08-17-2022, 09:05 PM

Good Dynamite. Was kinda weird like someone side said from Moxley coming back out to Gunn Club match, but solid otherwise. Interested to see what matches they set-up for All Out over the next two weeks.

packman80 · 08-17-2022, 09:15 PM

Good Main Event. For sure looks like Omega came back early still needing to work himself into shape.

mikecala98 · 08-17-2022, 09:16 PM

Omega is 100%. Him appearing to be less than 100% is storytelling.

Yeah, watching the match and his mannerisms, I started thinking that maybe he was rushed but yeah, I dunno...something seems off about it. Even the announcers kept bringing up ring rust and little issues Kenny was having. It seems TOO obvious that they were focusing on his injury.

Only reason I feel it would be legit to rush him back not 100% is purely to generate more buys for All Out.

Bizzare way for AEW to bring back one of their top stars. Their presentation on things like that are so bad. That should've been a moment but was super flat.

packman80 · 08-18-2022, 08:20 AM

So over or under 10 minutes before Moxley blades in his match with Punk next week?

Under. Punk had several great lines last night but my favorite was 'I'm afraid if I touch now you'll just bleed all over me'.

no10pin · 08-18-2022, 03:39 PM

And now it looks like CM Punk is being CM Punk again. Rumors flying that he called out Adam Page on his own, knowing he wasn't going to come down, and that he debated no-showing.

All rumors and Meltzer stuff right now, but it's not too far-fetched given Punk's history.

We all know Punk is a little BEEP. He loves to act like a bad ass call out people talk crap about them but when someone does it to him he losses his mind. Guy talks a lot of crap but can't take it. He used to be at one time the best wrestler in the game but he talked about guys like Triple H burying people. This guy is no different he only cares about himself. If he does not like what he hears he is willing to take his ball and go home.

cdub6238 · 08-19-2022, 04:16 PM

So as few have already said..it was a somewhat weird/interesting Dynamite imo

I found CM Punks promo...very..odd. He's a face...yet calls out Page out of nowhere and calls him a coward...then insults Mox and Kingston...who are also.."faces"...dont get me wrong, his 1 liners were great material and even Moxs were good jabs. Could've done without the awful looking pull apart though...

Garcia/Danielson was damn good. There were few minor things, like Danielson completely no selling Garcia a few times. I also have no idea what Ricky Steamboat had to do with anything other than a "dragon" tie in. And while I think it's good Garcia splits from Jericho, WHY give him a new nickname AND video graphic just for a few weeks? Confusing...

Also speaking of Steamboat...wow that backstage promo was awful. Wonder how much TK had to pay considering his asking amount for the Flair match was outrageous.

Gunn Club squashing Varsity Blondes..was a thing lol I'm a little confused by a few things; Billy looked regretful when he 1st caused the turn on the Acclaimed..but he still did it...and now, hey its all good we cool..2nd; I think Stokley is great..but I already mentioned before I didn't want to see him get too many people, now he has Jade/ Baddies Lee Moriarty Ethan Page and the Gunns....soo..umm..where is this going?

Jungle Boy promo wasn't very good...Cages promo was ok..now, Jungle Boy stomping his arm, great! Gives him a much needed mean streak/edge imo.

Storm/King was good, little sloppy and slow at times but good. Too bad it was the only female thing on the show.

Correct me if I'm wrong...I know Ingobernables have been a thing for awhile, and RUSH and Dragon Lee are brothers...but..didn't they just have a match against each other at ROH where RUSH beat the crap out of him? Lol

Everyone knew this was Omega..and the crowd popped HARD. Unfortunately...he brought the insufferable Callis with him. For as much as people hated Dan Lambert, I think Callis is 100x worse.

Match was very good. I think the stuff with Omega was half/half imo. When he missed the sunset flip tag tag, that looked planned...but on other hand he looked like he missed timing on a few spots and some moves looked kinda sloppy.

Actually being reported on Fightful as well, who is very reliable.

He supposedly was upset at a promo Page did during the build to their match about Cabana...so much so he went and complained/cried to the higher ups about it

Seems their feud was contentious behind the scenes as well as they couldn't agree on several promo things so much that he told TK he'd never lose or do a job for Page.

And that's what almost led to him no showing?

Yeah definitely not a good look at all

The Lee - RUSH match in ROH was more of a brother vs brother earning each other respect type of match vs a blood feud sort of a thing. They even shook hands before which RUSH never does. I really really hope they sign Lee. I know the roster is bloated already but he's so damn good.

On the Punk - Hangman stuff when I heard the line live I thought it was really weird for Punk to bury him out of the blue. I'm hoping now this is all just a work towards a full on heel turn for Punk otherwise it's an incredibly douchey thing to do. Then again I swore Cody was going to turn heel for the longest time and welp we saw how that went.

poomplavk · 08-24-2022, 08:11 PM

Lol at the punk and mox match

DonrussDean · 08-24-2022, 08:11 PM

I did not see that coming.. Mosley squashes Punk

Seriously are they writing Punk off after the all the BS with Hangman? That made no sense.

poomplavk · 08-24-2022, 08:15 PM

That's is a very strange way to book that. If Punk is still legit hurt, they should have just vacated the belt. Why bury Punk like that? Wonder if it's just to build up Mox higher or maybe Punk legit didn't want to be there like some reports said and did the job.

Def think it's to build up Mox more. Just think back to Punk's promo, which he wasn't lying about.

Gurds · 08-24-2022, 08:25 PM

punk probably wasn't fully ready to come back. Maybe had some setback and they decided to do it tonight instead of on a PPV. Plus now it looks like Punk will come back as a heel I'd bet. Should be good.

Also for all you complainers, Mox didn't bleed tonight!. So you've got that going for you haha.
