Yeah its dark, its ultimatly their B show. Never really involved with storylines much. I dont mind Joey and Sunny at all. They dont make me tune in but they don't make me switch off either.

Sunny has the least realistic offence I’ve seen in a long time and every move is like a choreographed dance spot.

A little nod or smile to the crowd followed by a very slick albeit non threatening elaborate move.

As VOW points out here, after Kenny Omega/Joey Janela is set for Dynamite this Wednesday.

Janela and Kenny had a great hardcore match on one of the early episodes of Dark.

beakerjoe

Janela is a perfect first match. Janela can bump and make Omega looks good, and the booking makes perfect sense.

Id like Omega to be dominant here. If he gives him the same offence that he gave Trent Barretta 4 montsh ago ill be annoyed. He needs to steam roll Janela.

So when you say a dominant Omega having to steam roll through Joey, are we talking Omega's 15 second squash of Sonny Kiss in the Eliminator? Or more along the lines of a brutal beatdown/you come at the king, you best not miss to anyone who dares step up to challenge?

I for the record would be in favour of the latter.

hynesie08

I want Kenny to spend a solid 10 minutes setting up various contraptions around ringside, barbed wire board, light tube bundles, chair pyramids, panes of glass the works, really set up that this is going to be a bloodbath, then boom, v trigger, OWA, over........

Kenny can then cut the promo he cuts best, fantasy based in reality.....

The latter, but Id be happy with both tbh.

This would be absolutely perfect for how Kenny's been portrayed at the moment

Agent Coulson

Snoop Dogg will be on commentary for the Dynamite according to Big Dave.

If he is half as good as he was for the Tyson fight this could be great.

Completely disagree!

He was horrific to listen too and shouldn't be anywhere near a wrestling ring!

J. Marston

Fully expect him to ask "When is Sasha wrestling?"

Agent Coulson

It seems a lot of the talent are getting fcuked up of Ross burying their work publicly every chance he gets and i don't blame them at all.

He is poison to the product.

Snoop Dogg is a whore in terms of doing anything these days, from The Trump Roast a few years ago to Just eat ads. I never saw the big deal with him. He did nothing for me as a an artist and does nothing for me as a celebrity in anything hes done outside of music.

I just want him to go away and not invade the space of pro wrestling. Like he will add zero to the product. Id see more value in Shaq than this krusty the clown esque shill.

Couldn't agree more.Loved him in his Death Row Records days but he is a parody of himself now and has been for along time!

Really can't believe AEW are getting him to do anything.Just like Shaq his days of being relevent or a draw are long gone!

Same with Tyson. Them trying to recreate the Austin/Tyson brawl but with Jericho was awful!

Shaq's interview number was the peak of Dynamite viewership this week FYI, over 1.2 million viewers.

He is on the same TNT talent show as Cody it is a cross promotion for TNT which starts in the New Year just like Shaq who is the face of the NBA on TNT which kicks off this month.

TNT want big paid stars to promote each others shows.

Brandi no doubt will slap herself on the back so.

The segment was only about 4 mins long.

To be fair to Shaq he came off as well as he could. As a wresting fan I dont wanna see it but it it helps AEW get more eyes then so be it. It was a short and sweet segment thank god.

WWE do a lot worse to be fair. I just dont care for Snoop Dogg in 2020. Hell I didnt care much about him to begin with, hes an over hyped sub par rapper.

But if he helps AEW then so be it.

It was short but minute by minute apparently viewership peaked during those 4 minutes.

I get it, try stuff. There's a way of doing this stuff, so far AEW have used these celebrities well, when they come in and beat up your guys, punk them out or make a joke out of wrestling, that's when you've got an issue and it becomes detrimental long term.

What happened with that? Did they abandon the idea?

Agent Coulson

Kenny retains the AAA Mega Title in Mexico while also appearing on Impact Final Resolution in Nashville hinting at a Bullet Club reunion with Machine Gun

RollieFingers

Great match at TripleMania, Omega had to bust out the Avalanche One Winged Angel for the win.

The Impact video is interesting, more NJPW references and they keep name-dropping Okada. I think it's pretty unlikely but could this be less about different companies working together and more leading to some sort of cross-promotional Bullet Club takeover? Callis did say this was all years in the making! Maybe it was KENTA who attacked Mox after all

I'm partial to the instrumental version of Orange Cassidy's theme. Guess I know what I'm going to try and learn on the electric guitar eventually.

Agent Coulson

Excalibur getting all tongue tied & flustered sitting beside Thunder Rosa on commentary

ConcertKing

Omega looking a million bucks on Impact and looking every bit the star he was meant to be!

Omackeral

Bear Country sure looked a fun tag team on Dark. Stu Grayson is some animal lifting them boys like he did.

oldtimeyfella

Dynamite is live tonight then they are taping the rest of the year Thursday and Friday.


They'll finish up just in time for someone to, say, travel to Japan and quarantine until the 4th/5th of January.
