AEW Dynasty (April 21st, 2024)

I don’t see how Hook losing to Jericho accomplishes anything at all.

Please tell me that Danielson's injury is a storyline, hopefully he didn't hurt his neck again.

Swerve better win here to send the crowd home happy.

Worth noting that by the time WWE sees these guys as part time/nostalgia acts, they'd already leaned heavily into them for a decade.

It's not that they couldn't find more for guys to do, it's what can they do with them that'd be fresh?

I'm curious, though, if he has or will have regrets in the long run. Sure, he gets creative freedom, but at what cost? A locker room that has the maturity and direction of a blind child because its owner can't or won't find the testicular fortitude to steer the ship with any resemblance of needed power and control.

I'd bet on no regrets. If this was his initial comeback run and he wanted to prove something then sure, but he had that big return in WWE. Now he's just having fun with Christian to close things out his way.

The level of smarm on Jack Perry's face during that reveal... I'm kind of here for it.

It is heartbreaking how AEW can knock it out of the park with their PPV events yet have weekly shows that leave me questioning what is actually happening backstage in the minds of creative. I’ll give it to TK, he knows how to put on a hell of an event when it’s something outside of the routine, weekly grind.

They grew too quickly, going from 2 hours a week to 5. If they just had Dynamite every week things would be so much simpler. But, just like USA wanted 3 hours of Raw, WBD wanted more content for more money. And that money trumps everything.

You’re right. The best move would be to scratch Rampage and continue doing Dark shows on YouTube. That’s just for starters.
