AEW CXXVIII: FLEX ON EM

[Max Power]

Thought Dynamite was pretty good this week. Seem to have some kind of momentum lately.

Hurt Syndicate were great. They look the part and have been a pleasant surprise thus far. Did lol at the worked MMA record for Lashley.

OC/Darby are a delight. So damn good. Loved the match.

Jericho 6 man was there. Bill was the highlight. If Ishii is getting a shot at the ROH belt, it better not be on Dynamite.

Cole vs Black was there. The finish was so bad. Cole looked like the yellow guy from Sin City. And then the MJF stuff. Stop. Oh, and Big Take is probably losing to Cole next week? Fuck that. Hope there's something else in the works.

Again, I really don't like babyface Jay White.

Dreadful Mercedes segment in the back. What are we doing here?

Christian tried his hardest, but the fans don't care about Hook. The second Hook came out, the fans started the What shit. Cage had some funny lines though.

Hayter vs Ford was fine. Now, can we get something for the former, please?

Main event was fine. Great to see Hobbs back. Finish was a bit odd. Thought they'd protect Take considering he has the big third Cole match next week. Whatevs.

Bruv makes a welcome return. Davis looked ridiculous in the jacket and the whole look in general.

I thought the show last night was just there.

Moxley's very over and so is The Hurt Syndicate, that's good.

Hook's the drizzling shits and needs to go.

Always annoys me when I have to begrudgingly enjoy a Jericho match in 2024. Like he's definitely still good but some of the stuff he does is not for me

You can’t replace his level of experience. If he’d quit drinking like a fish and take care of himself, he’d be a lot more passable.

I’m still not giving him credit for this damn Learning Tree though. It sucks and I hate it and not in the good way!

 

[RollSonnenRoll]

Why are internet wrestling fans so weird about this guy? Even the dirtsheets were insinuating he might be leaving just because he lost a match lol

Every time dude loses a match the IWC freaks out about him leaving or retiring.

God this dude sucks

I think that he is great. Unique look, dark character, exciting offense and truly one of a kind. No idea why the NXT title has been his ceiling.

Feel bad for Adam Cole, but feeding Malakai and possibly Takeshita to him is going to get him some big time backlash. Dude needs to hit the weights and lose the tan, but he is good.

I always find that if you're gonna go a dark and spooky character then they gotta be the most dominating and terrifying thing in the company. Otherwise they just come off as goofy

 

[TKing]

HoB is such an easy push too, the crowd loves their entrance and their presentation even if they are off tv for a while. Plus they are all talented.

With heel groups running wild just have them become an extension of Darby with the King connection as a necessary evil in the Death Riders fight aka remove the Dark Order insert HoB.

Kayfabe would also help. Undertaker worked because we didn't see Mark Calaway. The real Mark Calaway is kind of lame. Black is exceptionally lame and comes across whiny. He's also a Laveyan Satanist which isn't even real Satanism, they are some weird atheist Satanism who real Satanist and Luciferian groups think are a joke. They are usually full of people with mommy or daddy issues who were forced to go to church when they were younger. They dont even view Satan as a real figure, its some neckbeard metaphor to them. Majority of them are all dweebs with zero understanding of the occult or spirituality. So he's just this weird mix of cringe stuff that makes him come across like a giant nerd that doesn't match his presentation. The Lucha Bros understand the occult way more than anyone in House of Black.

 

[Stargazer Rex]

But even Mark Calaway was still more legit into occult groups than Black. Him and Kane were in DeMolay. Freemasonry for kids.

 

[TKing]

Now that everyone mentions kayfabe lol, Buddy actually holds it down most outside of him posing next to Rhea and her toned behind often.

Malakai does his thing on social media.

King was a regular on toy hunts and is an all around cool guy and his social media is lighthearted outside of troll fishing lol.

They’d never say that to BKs face

 

[The Clinch]

If HoB is gonna square off against BCC with Darby that’ll make the abysmal booking of HoB a little more tolerable.

Don’t want HoB as clear cut faces, that’s a bad idea. HoB should be more of a force of nature, a force of balance of sorts.. kinda just doing what they want.

People cheer for HoB anyways more than not as it is, no need to turn them any which way.

Innanet talkin’ about how Fletcher is looking more like a young Randy Orton these days, even does the silly draping rope ddt and similar poses.

I also mentioned this to my wife.

Too bad Fletcher has already entertained me more in a year than Randy did in 2 decades.

So he took the one great thing about Randy Orton....his look. Smart move.
