AEW Dynamite/Collision Thread

Re: AEW Dynamite Thread

If they were going to do a cinematic match, the Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match should have been a cinematic match. Now I get it with fans there, you don't want your main event to be a cinematic match and fans looking at the screen the entire time.

Omega announced the Death Match on Feb 17th, tickets went on sale the following Friday on the 26th. All AEW had to do was say due to the danger involved in this match we will not have fans in attendance for the show. Then they could have went all out with the explosions. It just sucks that all that build to what mounted to a dud, took away from how great the match was.

Re: AEW Dynamite Thread

Even if had gone off better, hearing JR and Schiavone screaming like the building was going to explode was a little ridiculous. Hard to criticize silliness in other promotions when you do that.

It's really not that big of a deal though. It's a ****ty finish, but it happens to every company. It's disappointing tonight (especially after the announcers selling the countdown), but this one will live on in Botchamania, everyone will have a good laugh, and we'll roll on to the next thing.

It's systemic of a bigger issue with Kahn. Constantly overselling and under delivering is a recipe for disaster. Especially as the "honeymoon phase" ends and people actually begin criticizing the product.

In particular, if and/or when they reach a bigger audience that will be harsher with criticism than the diehard fans they have now.

Re: AEW Dynamite Thread

I enjoyed the show but it wasn't amazing. Ladder match was extremely underwhelming (I'm getting sick of Cody and can't tell if I'm supposed to or not storyline wise), street fight was fun but commentary was unnecessary, and the main event was pretty hot until that laughable finish...though the one winged angel on the chair was nuts! For all the unscripted promo nature they should have had Kenny and Callis come out laughing saying "you really think we'd blow up a ring"?

As for the reveal, Christian can still go I'm sure, but I really wanted someone from NJPW or CM Punk. I know the latter will never wrestle again but one can hope.

Would’ve been better if they had Eddie Kingston, instead of selling like he got knocked out in an explosion...lift his head up after the fact and be like what the hell was that...then have Mox say what he said after the cameras went off after he recovered for a few

Underwhelming theatrics at the end aside...it was a good show.

Re: AEW Dynamite Thread

Lots to digest here

Spoiler

Lol, Britt Baker DMD tried to write a doctor's note herself to get Reba out of the match.

The tag team royale is basically a tag team royal rumble? I liked that.

Inner Circle "War Council". Reminds me of Survivor Tribal Council. Perhaps it is, and someone will be "voted off" the Inner Circle? MJF getting Jericho kicked out? All Out is their big PPV. MJF vs Jericho following the Inner Circle split would be a match made for that show.

Speaking of All Out. They said it's happening at Dailys Place. So AEW won't be moving out of there until at least June?

I hope this is finally leading to Hangman joining the Dark Order.

The mystery 6th man in the ladder match (I know it's a brass ring, but it just looks like a giant cheerio) is Ethan Page. Forget the Nightmare Family and Gunn Club. Let's have the Page Posse. Diamond Dallas Page, Hangman Adam Page and now All Ego Ethan Page. Maybe Paige comes in too lol.

The big name to AEW is Christian! I'm surprised WWE didnt even bother signing him back. Too bad we don't get "one more match" with Edge and Christian tagging up again. Is everyone Orton punted gonna end up in AEW? Like people said though, was there a need to announce a major signing? They could've simply said "a former Impact World Champion"(to play on the current rivalry). But glad to see Christian being able to compete again.

The cinematic street fight was real good! That Darby jump was insane! Sadly these kinds of matches cant happen with packed crowds because I'm sure those fans will hate staring at a screen for 20+ mins when they paid to be there. So enjoy the last few cinematic matches we'll have.

That main event, I love how AEW can do these extreme matches. It wasn't ECW or anything, but I always loved the hardcore matches WWE did in the 00s. This match was insane! I avoided seeing what this match was when it happened before so I could be fully surprised and taking it in for the first time. It delivered! For all the jokes about being WWE/WCW like, I'd love seeing more of this extreme, ECW, Japanese styled hardcore stuff.

That last minute warning sirens was so cool. Too bad for pyro malfunctions because that would've been THE moment of the night! The second I saw the sparklers, I thought it was a prank. Like the sparklers to make you think it was all just a joke and then BOOM!

I hope they explain it on TV. Cover it up like Kenny says when he saw Eddie go and sacrifice himself, Kenny "called off the hit". If not for Eddie, Mox would've blown up.

Maybe bring in the explosives they did have planned and have Dynamite end with it? Mox in the ring, and just when you think it's all over, BOOM, fade to black.

Was it a malfunction? Pretty sure it went as planned and just looked like crap.

Looks better here than it did on the broadcast. No joke.

That was actually planned? That's worse than a malfunction then.

At the very least, why not have raining pyro and all 3 sides of the ropes explode? I thought when they said everything goes off after 30 minutes, they meant even part would go off.

Best thing would've been all 3 sides explode and the ring implodes.

Man, that booing hurts. Heard people defending it by saying it's not like they could legit blow the ring up. Fact is they were trying to recreate those Japanese matches, and those matches had crazy explosions at the end.

Also Meltzer defended Christian being the huge huge star because his name had been talked about, and somehow that means no one should be disappointed.

I kinda want to hear Cornette review all this just for the jokes.

I like Christian and feel bad for him that he was oversold by a company that’s clueless. Nothing wrong with his career but he should not have been sold like this for PPV buys like he was some huge signing.

I hadn’t seen anything until a few things started popping up on Tik Tok. Had no idea there was some ridiculous exploding ring thing. But man that just looks so stupid. I’m not sure what they were thinking.

Re: AEW Dynamite Thread

Just saw that TikTok video.

Now I see what AEWs plan was.

The explosions weren't the thing that was supposed to wow people at the ending. All that smoke was gonna fill the entire ring.

Little explosions but LOTS of smoke would've still been a cool visual. That way you wouldn't have known just how many things went off, just see the ring covered in some giant smoke cloud, and when it all clears, you just see Mox and Eddie laying in the ring while the medical staff comes in.


It is an outdoor venue, how do you not account for wind?


Say what you want about WWEs overproducing things, but I'm sure they do test out all the stunts beforehand.
