AEW AEW CXVII: Mariah is Upon Us

[Stargazer Rex]

So do any of us actually think Darby is 100% healthy right now?

I don't think he is ever 100% healthy physically or mentally!

 

[Sycho Sid]

Darby is a great choice for the match, but is there a reason (story wise) they did not use Mox? Dude has been the bleeding heart (and face) of AEW since he showed up. Is already partners with Danielson, and is Eddie's best friend.

 

[Blunderbuss]

West Coast Crowd is on fire... well until Hook

Needed more unhinged Canadian fans imo

Nah, he'll never be healthy again.

But he'll still do stupid shit to entertain us.

Mox is being lent to NJPW. He's not available on weekends for a while.

He probably will do Forbidden Door and All In and that's it for AEW until they take the IWGP World Title off of him.

Did Darby always wear lifts? Because one of those boots looked like the same medical boot my sister wore when she broke her foot.

He's been wearing those for a year...at least.

Apparently when Darby was under the ring he hit his head on a beam while he was down there. Had to go to the hospital after the show to get checked out.

The guy should just bring his own medical team with him on the road.

That's all i ask!

He fucking loves violence so much that he would rather see Darby die in the ring instead of helping his friends!

Wouldn't we all...

 

[Jonathan Utah]

Is he taking shots at Tony?

 

[Max Power]

This week's Dynamite was a pretty sizeable improvement over last week's mess.

Mox/Bryan tag was fine, except I cannot figure out why they had an AEW guy take the pin when Cobb was right there. Hard times for Mr Skye Blue.

A barbed wire steel cage match. At least that will hopefully limit the chance of a tedious prolonged brawl outside the ring. Yay!

Bucks getting some of that Reebok pocket money.

Bucks had a competitive match with jobbers. Them firing Daniels afterwards was by far the highlight.

Toni was fantastic in the back.

Dear god, please ban Hook from ever picking up a mic ever again. Awful. Howled at the "please retire" chants. Jericho seemed a little rattled by them. He did well to try to steer things back, but I hope they chant that every week. Terrible segment.

Swerve vs Cage was fine. Could do without Swerve almost getting dumped on his head. What were they thinking there? Praying this is the last I see of Brian Cage for a long time.

Nick Wayne needs to work on his punches. No good. Swerve beaten down again? Meh.

Shibata's Google translate gimmick is hilarious.

Toni vs Harley was good. I agree with Taz, I too would like to see Harley wrestle barefoot.

Ospreay/Roddy segment was good. Wardlow looked so goofy just standing there. Poor guy.

Willow, man. Fantastic. My favourite thing on the show. Monster pop when she put Mercedes through the table. Yet again, AEW have something with a fresh talent.

Main event was good.

Darby back, fresh off from being hit by a bus. Insane. A massive improvement to the Anarchy match. Gigantic.

 

[TKing]

I got caught up in the dancing and chanting of Swerve to forget all the people he has wronged lol, he still has a few more names out there after him if they keep this going.

Also if they ever need another last second transition Champ due to injury or whatever, Christian is an easy plug in option. He actually feels more like the champion at the moment with how he is carrying himself.

@Sara missing Sexy Okada. Casual confirmed

I 100% fell asleep

 

[GoldenAzazel]

I 100% fell asleep

Okada won't forgive you for this

 

[Excelsior]

Catching up on the last half of Dynamite (I lost interest after a while). Joe got a great pop and chant. Seeing how they're using Swerve right now they never should have taken the belt off him.

Shibata's phone gimmick is awesome. Don't overuse it, though. It could grow stale fast.

She looks aged, but I'm still happy to see Serena get a good program.

Furiosa has been played by Charlize Theron and Anya Taylor Joy. Hottest character in recent film history, no doubt.

Harley was way overdressed.

I don't care what Mercedes cost. If Willow jobs out to her AEW has completely misread the room.

He's good enough to clock into work.

Keith Lee cant do that.

 

[Stargazer Rex]

Tay Melo needs to clock in for work.
