    Strong Dynamite on the whole.

    The hour long match was outstanding, MJF can be boring in the ring at time imo, but he can absolutely put it up with the best in the world when he needs to. I have a few minor quibbles; it felt a bit long and that inevitably leads to kick outs of big moves or no-sells which I'm not a lover of. The only other minor nitpick I have and it's something of a constant in AEW and I know they say ref's discretion but I just find that a dumb caveat, it also lessens the impact of the rules actually broken as they were in the finish of the match. That doesn't take away from the match for me overall though, it was a belter and one of the best matches in Dynamite history without a doubt.

    Mariah looks so much like Toni it took me a second and I agree with White Wolf that it might be time to start looking at a new persona for Toni. She's cleared out much of the division and I think this character only has so much life to it, now that the understudy has turned on her have Mariah win in Wembley and Toni come back re-invented.

    The build to Blood and Guts has been weird this year, it feels a bit heatless. Outside of Hangman and Swerve the feuds don't feel that serious. I think it's suffering from the same problem as WWE having a HIAC ppv every year regardless. Having the comedic heel EVPs be in this serious deadly feud with… The Acclaimed just seems off.

    Also I'm sorry but the version of Okada we're getting is exactly what people feared WWE would do with him. It's fine but people overlooking it are just showing their arse imo.

    Yeah Toni needs to change it up..I think this persona has peaked with the title win...it doesn't work going forward IMO

    Agree with Loads, I think he's been a bit of a letdown so far

    Had to laugh at the ref starting a count later in the match when both MJF and Ospreay were outside the ring after they were both in the crowd for about 3 or 4 minutes earlier in the match.

    I know people joke about there being loads of titles in AEW but I genuinely forgot we had an International and a Continental title so when I saw Okada with the Continental title after MJF had just won the title I was confused.

    I'll do a negative comment on that show now: Sure they only had 3 matches in the whole special episode! 😋



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 54,620 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    Yes Okada had me in stitches, this man is just comedy gold, his facial expressions and mannerisms are just the best around



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 54,620 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    Imagine 1 hour long PPV level match on Dynamite

    That TK is some sicko lol

    What a match, bloody hell

    What a match, unbelievably good. Match of the year contender.

    Cracking episode of Dynamite, definitely one for the sickos! Not bad going getting to 250 to be fair.

    "Well speak bi*ch" - I love Schiavone too, gas man.

    AEW content being advertised on Max now according to some Twitter looks like a deal has been reached.




  • Registered Users Posts: 3,189 ✭✭✭ThePott


    This is a bit misleading and to be confirmed yet what it actually means.

    The person who originally reported it, had to clarify that it is Max internationally (I actually mentioned AEW was on Max in France weeks ago on here). There hasn't been any confirmation yet that it is coming to America. I'll check what territories I can see it in, in a second.

    It is most certainly not, as of this writing available on Max in the US, I've checked myself and others have confirmed the same. As mentioned it was available in France since at least 3 weeks ago so whether it means anything for a tv deal is hard to say.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,874 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Looks like it is appearing on Max in other countires as well.

    Fair play looks like Tony got the deal he wanted this could be huge for the company.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,189 ✭✭✭ThePott


    I guess Coulson is just ignoring me (or has me blocked🤣) So far it's appearing… ONLY in other countries. I've actually checked multiple Max catalogues and so far the only one I've found that has it is France (and Monaco), which was the case weeks ago too as mentioned.

    For those curious, I screenshotted what it looks like.

    The following countries have no AEW content at the time I searched (will continue to update): Spain, Denmark, Netherlands, Poland, Belgium, Slovakia, Slovenia, Portugal, Hungary, Czech Republic.

    Left Europe and checked Peru, Brazil and Mexico and they also have no AEW content.

    Outside of AEW All Access which has been there ages, there is no AEW content on the American Max.

    I must be the only one not totally gone on the "epic tv match" between MJF and Will, too long, too many spots and not a great ending, I think I preferred the Will vs. Swerve match but that is just me

    Anyways that does not matter as Dave gave it 5.75 stars



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,874 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    MJF will be defending the International title in Arena Mexico on August 2nd.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 54,620 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    That's pretty rare to see MJF wrestling outside AEW, could this be even a first?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,874 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    I think it could be a first for him in Mexico anyway.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,874 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Dalton Castle is out for the rest of the year.

    He got knocked out clean in his match against Rodrick Strong last week.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 54,620 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    ah ffs
    One of my favs and he was getting really pushed with his new boys. Terrible for the Outrunners too :(

    Hopefully he comes back even better



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,277 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Another week and another injury. this time for Skye Blue. Watching the video again, it looked like the ankle bent awkwardly.

    I was going to say before, as much as I can appreciate watching Skye Blue she does seem to be on a lot and usually against jobbers. And considering there tend to be only 3 women's matches a week on AEW with 2 titles, you would think the matches would be used to showcase the titles or potential challengers.

    I was surprised when they had a second women's match. Though, being a Lumberjack match, it just showed how many women they have that don't get much tv time outside RoH.

    As for the rest of the show, debut from Hologram which highlighted the main issue with matches involving some Luchas. Requiring the opponent to let things happen or aid them. I know most moves in wrestling require both parties to pull off successfully but they're not usually so obvious. But this was just a showcase for Tony's new baby. Though "Hologram"? Really?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,496 ✭✭✭wayne040576


    That episode of Collision was absolutely atrocious. Everything about it was amateurish. From the terrible presentation to the sound - those echoes. Really bad for a television broadcast. The venue looked like a community centre and still had poor attendance. Looks like they've decided it wasn't worth the royalty fee to Elton John.

    And then another botched spot that ended in injury. And another Lucha debut..



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,349 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    Hologram reminds of when sin Cara debuted in WWE years ago, they could only pair him in matches with lucha type wrestlers that suit that wrestling style



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 54,620 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    Yes the poor echoing sound quality is something I've always noticed with AEW, it's one of my pet hates and just really amateur stuff. This Collision was particular bad and probably their worse audio ever.

    For anyone watching the WWE product, they they have these issues too?

    The audio at my indie is better and it's really not hard when you have someone with a hint of sound engineering ability. It's been an issue now for 5 years but last nights was one of the worst, it will be telling if it's not fixed next week. Haven't seen it that bad ever on WWE or TNA.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,964 ✭✭✭Nigzcurran


    Sorry if it's mentioned previously but where are people watching the likes of AEW and TNA?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,874 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 54,620 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    I finally fixed the awful buffering during AEW on my Apple TV using Triller app

    I found it was caused by the video settings. I changed Match Content to

    Match Dynamic Range On

    Match Frame Rate On

    Quick Media Switching On

    It's transformed my experience



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,964 ✭✭✭Nigzcurran


    Thanks I'll check it out



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,874 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Skye Blue broke her ankle.

    Jay White also out with a legit injury

    Biden addressing the nation on the Dynamite timeslot on Wednesday - wonder what match they open with!

    Depends whether they decide to try and compete or if they don't make much effort as they know they won't have as many viewers as usual.
