Thought that was one of the better Dynamite’s in quite a while. Ricky Starks’ promo was phenomenal.

I know Trent Seven wasn't the fittest guy out there when he was with WWE his final couple of years, but would it kill him to hit the gym a little bit? Lol

That Jericho/Action Andretti match was fantastic. Jericho is an all time great.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

The main event was good but it felt like it was missing that extra something to put it over the top.

That crowd was insane during the Andretti/Jericho match.

So corny funny I nearly spit up my lunch

But it's like Bliss and Lily...................

The best characters IMO are someone who can use an Inanimate object and get over

I don't care if the segment was trash. Rick Ross is awesome. Between "ACCUSATIONS! FALSE ACCUSATIONS!" and "You a big motherfucker", this man is a gift.

I really hope they’re not trying to do a losing streak angle with FTR.

Depending on how it goes, I think it could be ok.

I honestly don't trust TK to handle it well. Wonder if it's something to do with the fact that they might leave next year and take a year off. I figure it's that or maybe even TYB could be behind it somehow (more of a conspiracy theory on that last one).

That Acclaimed video, LMAO.

Double Js on the roster for a month and he's already a part of the hottest angle. #Legend

The video was hysterical.

I'm scratching my head at Wardlow's booking. I thought the reasoning behind the triple threat match at Full Gear was to get the TNT belt off of him but have someone else take the loss. They've squandered his momentum. I feel like he's a rare wrestler who would be better off on the WWE roster. He has the look and athleticism to be a main event player there IMO

He's fine. The spot he's in right now is where he should be. They made him with the MJF story and then the TNT title reign, but he's not ready to be a main event guy yet. If they kept him on the same trajectory, the only place to take him would be the main event scene. And then what? He just flounders? Then you've done far more damage. It's been fine with what they've done. He's still over in a big way. Will still have stuff to do. And because of that, he can fairly easily be reheated when he's ready to move up the card.

He turns 35 in a couple weeks. This isn't necessarily a star of the future. He's in his prime. I would have kept him as strong as possible then struck while the iron is hot with a big win. Not necessarily a world title win but something important. He was just choked out in the middle of the ring in a sanctioned match. You can't really unsee that visual.

By today's standards, 35 is fairly young. You've got top guys in their mid 40s and 50s right now. It's not the worst thing in the world if he's in the main title scene at 37 instead of 35

Good piece from The Ringer on Sting and winding down his career. From this and other rumblings, it looks like we're gonna get Sting's last match some time in 2023

Sting Rounds the Bases

Five years ago, the Icon thought he’d wrestled his last match. Heading into 2023, the Stinger reflects on his four-decade career in the squared circle.

This is true but almost all of those wrestlers were huge stars by their 20s or early 30s and are continuing their success into their 40s. I suppose Lashley is a bit of an exception but if he had stayed in WWE through his 30s he wouldn't be.

My argument isn't that he should be AEW champion this year but rather they should do a better job of maintaining his mystique.

I suppose he helps Darby beat Joe in Seattle for a huge pop but there were other ways to get there imo

Fun fact: The #1 merch seller on ProWrestlingTees for 2022 wasn't CM Punk, MJF, or The Elite.

It's Danhausen.

Insane (in a good a way). This guy is getting filthy rich off that gimmick
