I think people are too focused on the toilet paper side of the angle being funny, and not the considering that from Ricochet's POV, it wasn't funny it was legitimately very cruel, publicly humiliating someone who had just lost their biggest opportunity by making everyone else laugh at you, that's genuinely cruel and I think people are too quickly glossing over it because "toilet paper funny haha"
@@ryanbest9445 I hated it on the ppv but dynamite changed my mind, i was wrong, it was genius, a humiliation to lead to a 2019 rejected by society joker like heel turn
Ospreay had two matches at the PPV and bled a pint of blood from his forehead, I don't understand how anyone could think he was going to wrestle on this show. I thought this was a good introductory episode for new viewers and I appreciated the production changes, especially the better lighting.
I hate how Jamie was world champion before her injury and with her returning on the pre show and not doing much since, she should be on the level as the other main event women. Would love Mercedes vs Jamie
WRT "why don't they fight for the #2 slot" I believe they mentioned on commentary that the rest of the field had their entry number randomly assigned, so winning the triple threat was the only way to guarantee you'll make it into the match before the pinfall occurs, since if you just enter normally, you've got as much a chance at #2 as #12.
I never thought I’d be one of these people, but I was in the crowd last night and the reaction to the women’s match couldn’t have been better. The crowd was actually chanting back and forth pretty loudly and seemed stoked for both women. I didn’t watch on TV, so I didn’t hear it, but live it was great
Honestly, what the AEW Women's division needs most of all right now is a Will Ospreay moment, and by that i mean Mercedes Mone vs. Mariah May with May going over clean like they did with Swerve. That would give May the momentum back that she lost since waiting for Toni and Mina to return. Meanwhile build up Jamie Hayter so that Jamie can win the TBS Title from Mone the following PPV. Mone does two clean jobs after doing her mini belt collector thing and in two matches resets the division., then she can join Toni Storm, Mina, Willow etc in the world title while Jamie has a solid 1B title reign before dropping it to Skye Blue or something like that. Also, AEW needs to remember the Womens Division has Willow, Statlander, Thunder Rosa, Serena Deeb as well, you can have feuds that don't involve titles, hell Kris vs Willow was probably the best Women's match AEW had all year last year.
I’ve loved Richochet’s heel turn. It’s been natural and organic and refreshing. When Richochet first joined AEW there was absolutely nothing he was doing that made me go “I see why he left WWE” because in WWE he was still over and having fun matches and stood out quite a bit, in AEW he blends in so much. This heel turn is exactly what he needed. It makes him stand out from the WWE run instantly with the bloody angle, and I like the toilet paper angle because for Richochet it was humiliating and a fun visual and his response was near murder. Just really dramatic and what a good heel should do. Ibou said it best on Twitter “they are ex-WWE until they do something that’s bigger and better then their WWE work, Miro was Rusev until he became God’s Favourite Champion”. Swerve has done this, he’s no longer “ex-WWE”. Mercedes is still ex-WWE. Punk is the exception to this because he has such a start power presence he’s just CM Punk no matter where he is. I think this is Richochet’s chance to become more then ex-WWE
I was at this show and only got home today and decided to watch your review. It was a great show live. Very excited to see Julia's return but was annoyed that the rest of the crowd was not as into it. Our section started most of the chants in that match. As for your comment at the end about social media, 100% agree. TH-cam is the closest thing to social media that I am on these days, and it is great. As it turns out, I really don't need to know what some @$$hat is thinking while taking a dump. Jam that Jam.
If I remember correctly about CD he was head of Talent Relations at one point so I thought that’s his “official position” and he still wrestles from time to time kind of like JJ
I think what's extremely underappreciated in AEW is the way the talent is allowed to actually look stupid sometimes. WWE it always kinda feels like actors. They portray a silly character but are still presented kinda cool. In AEW characters feel way more real and actually evolve better for that reason.
Was pissed that AEW was not on MAX in Sweden so it took me sometime to get around to watch it, and damn this did deliver. But i skiped most part that did not entice me, and that was the mainevent mostly. But Ricochets payback was so damn good. Someone said that Swerve is building a rougues gallery, i am wondering if he just creates monsters now. Hangman is starting to get scary at times. Ricochet started that trip now entrigues me.
Where is the reactions to the most recent Raw and Smackdowns. Wanna hear the thoughts on the Seth v Punk promo and everything that happened on smackdown
I agree with Oli that it was a great song for last night but probably not the best choice moving forward I disagree with Luke about wrestling just sticking to Numetal. The weird problem is that it’s hard to move forward with contemporary rock because it doesn’t really exist anymore. Who are the big name bands of the last decade? Ghost and King Gizzard? It’s a problem wrestling is suffering from that isn’t wrestling’s fault. All that said, Dynamite needs to open with Ska.
I feel like Max and Netflix are different here bc I'm from Brazil and the whole world will get WWE on Netflix, but AEW will not be available internationally
The opening theme to Dynamite should have been Chop Suey by System of a Down or heck, even the new Linkin Park. Heavy is the Crown works well with the current theme of AEW with Mox and everyone gunning for control of thr championship.
Is the point of there being no match to determine the #2 entrant in the Casino Gauntlet match that all other spots after #1 are completely random and unknown? So Jay walks to the ring, but he and no other wrestler knows that they will be in the match. But these three battled for the number one spot to insure that they were in the match while everyone else is unsure if they will be put into the match or not. Man, I hope Mike Bailey is #2. Just give him a minute or two against Jay and that will be absolutely brilliant. And him being able to do other spots against other wrestlers would be a good way to get him over with the AEW audience.
Jeff Jarrett announcing, more or less, this is his retirement year means we can finally get the biggest Wrestlemania match we've all been waiting for- Jeff Jarrett vs John Cena vs Hiroshi Tanahashi for the AEW Championship, WWE Championship, and IWGP World Heavyweight Championship
People saying there was no raw podcast.... you do realise that it was new years eve don't you? The guys deserve to spend some holidays with their families too or is that not ok with any of you. The week before was christmas that people usually spend with their families shock I know. And the week before they did do the raw podcast. How about you all understand that they are just people with families too and that comes before you all, rightfully so.
First segment, Hangman attacks Orange and security runs out immediately and breaks it all up.... a half hour later a man is stabbing another with scissors and security doesn't come out until he's done doing the stabbing....pick one or the other

Swerve has a habit of creating his own crazy enemies.
@@michaelsinger4638 if Trevor Swerve feud reaches half the heights of Swerve Hangman feud, then it’s a big success for Ric imo!

exactly
@michaelsinger4638 that's actually a cool way to look at it. Thanks mate
Oli and Luke back reviewing Dynamite together, all is well with the world!
The Costco Guys making the show Intro made me snort laugh
Ospreay had two matches at the PPV and bled a pint of blood from his forehead, I don't understand how anyone could think he was going to wrestle on this show. I thought this was a good introductory episode for new viewers and I appreciated the production changes, especially the better lighting.
I like that Will was off TV to sell it. It’s just a shame that World’s End took place a week before such an important Dynamite
Pretty much.
I’ve missed you two doing AEW, this was really nice.
The best duo
Clicked instantly seeing oli and luke
Can we get Goth Jaimie Hayter now, please!
The Dark Princess is back.
The plan all along? Yeah probably not, but could be a great pivot.

I was an avid Ricochet hater can’t lie, but he’s been doing incredible work all things considered

It was a good show for people who are already fans. I don't think this was a good "bring in new viewers" episode, which is what it should have been.
Agreed I doubt new viewers will stick after the Ricochet angle

Ricochet going from lame flippy babyface guy to sadistic Dickhead flippy heel has been tremendous.
I love The Pointer Sisters come on man I'm so excited and I just can't hide it
ollie’s only 36! respectfully thought he was older
It’s the fact he already has had a hair transplant and his hair is more salt than pepper lmao
Might be a hot take, I think the undisputed kingdom t-shirt is the best faction t-shirt design since the bullet club t-shirt.
If I remember correctly about CD he was head of Talent Relations at one point so I thought that’s his “official position” and he still wrestles from time to time kind of like JJ
OLI!! LUKE!! If Dynamite were still on TNT, they could've used AC DCs TNT...lol
Mox vs MJF for the title again…YES PLEASE!!
Jeff Jarret, Edge and Christian in the AEW World Title Picture
The Lame Brigade had me howling 😂

Oil’s impression of the Undisputed Kingdom is amazing
Where is the reactions to the most recent Raw and Smackdowns. Wanna hear the thoughts on the Seth v Punk promo and everything that happened on smackdown
are they (and or fans) actually calling them “The D Riders” now. 😂😂😂😂
Would you say that ricochet was trying to "HURT" Swerve? Maybe get the attention of a certain syndicate? 🤔(again)
Ricochet might have a break through with this heel turn
Like a 6/10 show for me, it was ok. Nothing noteworthy other than the ricochet post match angle. Opener and main event were decent matches too
I agree with Oli that it was a great song for last night but probably not the best choice moving forward I disagree with Luke about wrestling just sticking to Numetal.

New Necromunda is the most fun you can have playing a games workshop game
Have Jarrett beat Mox with the help of the TNAvengers and then have Christian use his contract
What an intro!
You're thinking Bodies from Drowning Pool. I'd like someone to use Sway from Coal Chamber.
Daniels is the head of talent relations.
If the options are 80s pop or Nu Metal, I'll take the 80s pop.

They should use the name Trevor also
Love you guys but some times you are way too knit picky.

Rock paper scissors
No podcast for the last monday night raw of 2024?
Wwe sux
They were off until after New Year’s.
So excited to see the OG gang back doing AEW reviews
Luke Owen wanted SO DESPERATELY to like this show that he's making excuse after excuse for the trash fire that was Julia Hart Vs Jamie Hayter...
Harsh IMHO, thought the match was good, maybe took a little while for Jamie to click with Julia but other than that I enjoyed it.
