AEW - All Elite Wrestling (*Spoilers for Latest Show*)

RE: Brian Kendrick.

People are looking for a conspiracy about the timing, I really don't think there is one. The guy hasn't had a match in WWE in well over a year and even then I think you'd have to go back years to see a notable match. He got his biggest match in like a decade and got headlines for being a free agent and naturally that lead to some bringing up of his 'theories'. In fact I will say I was made aware of his Sandy Hook thoughts on Sunday after Ronda's return (as she is apparently also a believer in that sh1te). People who are saying that no one knew this, I think most people were probably in the same boat as me and plenty others who thought he had some weird but not offensive beliefs about flat earth and the moon landing (he was even on New Day's podcast apparently discussing weird stuff) but the Holocaust thoughts and the like are beyond the pale and new to many. I think once his name became prominent again, people started talking and it naturally lead to the depths of his theories to be exposed.

AJ Styles also apparently has some weird theories but again it seems to be dumb stuff mostly nothing harmful. AEW made the right call to not have him on a show with such a prominent Jewish wrestler in MJF especially on what was going to be his biggest win to date. His apology doesn't wash for me but people are allowed to change and grow. Then again, he was in his early 30's and if we're going back to Sandy Hook it was less than a decade ago, so we can't give him the he was only young defence really.

Anyway Dynamite was great. Loved the MJF/Punk match and interested to see where Punk goes from here. Also really enjoyed the direction they're going with Bryan/Mox, just a very different approach. I really hope we're getting something new for Adam Cole post OC now tbh.

Wow this was there first time meeting in person

Have to say I agree totally with you.

Big fan of AEW but I just don’t get how they have Hangman as their world champion. I do like him but he just doesn’t scream main event at all. I really hope he drops the title soon. Although I doubt he’ll do it to Archer.

Harland clearly knew something

As for Brandi, at the rate she's winning matches on Dark she'll be number 1 contender. She's beaten Kilynn King who was actually on a winning streak for a while last year and Willow Nightingale who I see in multiple promotions, including being champion and/or number 1 contender in those promotions.

I wonder if that's why they haven't updated the rankings this week yet.

Just watched the Brandi/Lambert segment, I was entertained. That bulldogs comment got me. Terrible slap though.

Rampage is such a great hour of wrestling.

Adam Cole needs to be the new World Champion.

Andrade's new character is great.

Britt hiring Mercedes Martinez to take out Thunder Rosa.

Powerhouse Hobbs in the fur coat :)

Starks has charisma to burn and some great interaction with the fans during the match and landing the Roshambo out of the Lethal Injection was class.

After Brandi named dropped him on Dynamite.

Is that a contract in his hand?

Thunder vs Britt for Revolution then?

Hope this means a big programme for Adam Cole, haven't loved how he's been used so far. Starks is money, he'd be a great TNT champion. The reversal finisher was awesome and the match was excellent. Even though I think the Hobbs/Dante spot was a bit unnecessary sort of draws attention to AEW's refs being a bit lax, which I don't mind but maybe don't draw attention to it.

Those tweets by Tony are so strange, he's being very verbose. Not to mention if they're a free agent how can it be the forbidden door? It's leading to all sorts of weird speculation that someone is going to break contract to show up on Dynamite (seen the likes of Ali and Jeff Hardy touted) which I can't imagine happening as amazing as it would be.

He's explicitly said they're a free agent so why are people thinking someone will be breaking contract? I'd say Josh Alexander probably.

Don't watch many of Lethal's matches unfortunately but I love the touch from the announcer declaring him from "Eee-lizabeth, New Jersey" Randy Savage style. When I started back watching wrestling in the last few months thanks to a friend that got me into AEW I didn't think I'd regularly watch Rampage but for its length it really is enjoyable.

Also any one else fallen into a rabbit hole on youtubehausen watching videos of a certain new signing?

Oh man I just saw someone Twitter say the free agent coming throught the Forbidden Door is Cody!

That would be just pure heat magnet sh1t on Cody.

I wonder who this Blake Li is that QT has lined up to take on Hook next week.

Blake Li is clearly a fake name and has to be a ringer.

I do adore Rampage 1hr shows, just such an easy watch.

That main event match was unreal and the guys just stole the show. Starks best match to date and that finishing was just brilliant, what a counter tbh
