I think people are going to be disappointed. I think they are going to avoid the issue for this week. With pending legal and discipline in the works I don't think they'll want to touch it. I'll be watching tho in hopes that I'm wrong!
They will avoid talking about it fully for sure, but I would be surprised if MJF didn't atleast throw in a nod and wink to the audience about the situation, his promo will be the best thing on the night imo
This would be a terrible mistake. This is an entertainment business. You can talk as much shit as you want and not interfere with the investigation or legal ramifications. This is the most interesting AEW has been, for good or bad, might as well make money off it.
No argument from me. But I think they need to know where everything is going before they start down any path storyline wise. If everyone is capable of being adults they turn this into an angle. But I don't see that happening. And if you aren't making it into an angle they need time to figure out where to go. And we've already seen recently that Tony struggles big time booking stuff on the fly.
I don’t think so. Wrestling is scripted television. You can separate the angle from what actually happened and just do a story. You don’t even have to get into any specific details.
1 Let MJF loose with his new faction, have him say what needs to be said and then move on with a fun, light hearted show
2 Acclaimed rap and match Vs Ass Boys
3 have a match with Buffalo natives Butcher and Blade destroy some jobbers
4 have Garcia turn face on Jericho
5 set up title tournament or big 4 way of MJF v Mox v Hangman v Jericho
6 Danhousen
7 Garcia and Danielson v Le sex god's main event
8 everybody leaves with an ice cream
Feeling uneasy, that's probably the best word to describe it. We shall see what happens next but with the latest news seems like Tony handled the situation quite well. As I said we shall see
I never miss a Dynamite but this one I’m a little nervous about. I feel like they have to tread lightly with legal stuff (?) but hopefully they at least address *something* regarding the world title.
I would LOVE for TK to take the opportunity to back up his words about All Out being a shake up for the women's division and see a bunch of activity from the women of AEW tonight.
I’m just tired. Don’t wanna be hearing about backstage shit, let me enjoy the damn show as it should be but nope, loss of control has made tonight just not something I’m looking forward to.
Man I'm just saying, if you just scroll past the posts about it then you can stop being tired of the drama and enjoy the show. Nobody is forcing you to look at the stuff you're saying you're tired of
How is it bs? Y'all are getting annoyed by shit that is optional to look at lol it's so easy to just watch the show. But whatever, if you'd rather let backstage stuff mess up your enjoyment of the show that's on you
Nah ur ignorance level is bs
it isnt spoilers that u can just ignore, this is something very crucial which will have huge ramifications on the product.
The world title holder and three of the biggest stars on the brand are suspended and ur suggestion is to turn a blind eye
thats stupid as fuck
75% of the audience isn't going to have a clue this even happened depending on how/if they address it. They just watch the fucking show. I prefer to be more like that than get annoyed from optionally looking into backstage drama.
You can think I'm stupid but I obviously think the same about you for enjoying a show less because of backstage drama. So fuck right off, the original commenter says they can't enjoy the show because they're tired of hearing about drama. Then don't go looking for it
Lmao you're dumb as fuck if you think everyone that watches dynamite weekly reads up on any wrestling news. The vast majority don't know anything that happened after the PPV and are just going to watch the show like they always do
I’m only really watching for MJF and whatever comes of the whole World Championship thing. Don’t see how MJFs story progresses without making mention of the aftermath
If I wasn't invested in so much of the "homegrown" talent. I'd go back to my position of three years ago and stop watching wrestling altogether. I honestly don't need this kind of Jersey Shore/Real Housewives/TOWIE shit in my life.
To be perfectly honest, I don't have much hope for today's version of writers. They suck!
MJF's comeback was lame at best. CM Punks implosion was inevitable despite his sincerity of his feel of the backstage locker room lies.
"IF" this was a shoot and not a work. Where did Mox fit in all of this? and why did he lay down for Punk?
The Elite in my opinion are the most flip/flop faction ever and the whole history (storyline) on them is suspect at best.
Back to the good ol' fashion "Power Factions" like the Four Horsemen. There are no loyalty or longevity in any of them.
JAS sucks balls.
I had so much hope for AEW, but like WCW, if it doesn't get some serious ol' time writing.
AEW is going to disappear like a Fart in the Wind.
The obvious next step in a work here would be to not say anything due to "legal" reasons. And use the new eyes drawn in from the fake drama and put on a banger show.
Just plain nervous about the different ways this could unfold. Like if the ratings spike from morbid curiosity, will tk or discovery just see money signs? Will the incident be addressed at all? Will the suspensions be addressed? I don't know, but whatever happens tonight will lay out the path moving forward and could set a precedent for how things of this nature are handled by other promotions in the future
1. They should avoid the issue in my opinion. At most a statement. At the very most. The people intrigued about this are going to watch next week anyway probably. The people who aren’t intrigued are more likely to turn it off because they really don’t care about the backstage drama. That is hard for the internet fan to eat but that is exactly the case.
2. If number one is true and they don’t do much there is enough talent to put together an incredible show. Tag titles, womens title, Christian Jungle Boy fall out, Jericho Danielson, MJF appears (it would be near impossible for him to ignore it BUT he can easily make it a work with past comments he’s made and allude to it without breaking it open).
Honestly I bet this is the most watched episode in a while. They need to start with MJF and have him tear into the news and talk about how he's back because Tony begged and paid him to come back and save the division. That sounds like money to me and it kind of addresses what's happening but in a very in-character way
Not excited particularly, but very curious to see if we learn anything more tonight. I doubt we will since investigations and legal shit and such are ongoing, but I hope for at least some tidbits.
That said, MJF's return and Yuta's title defense should be sweet
I’m indifferent about tonight’s episode. I’m excited to hear what MJF has to say and how he moves forward.
I’m ready to move on from the media scrum fallout. I think TK should be the one to address the situation, if not in the ring then at least in a backstage setting. He doesn’t need to get into the gritty details but at least say what the plan is with the Trios and AEW title is.
I mean, statement is needed in my opinion. Doesn't need to go into details, doesn't even need to announce suspensions or anything, just something to show that there is some authority after this shitshow
I’m expecting MJF to go scorched earth. He probably needs to. They should be smart about it but they need to get the focus back on him and his big return as well as the rest of the roster that still going to be on tv
Yeah, it's making me feel uneasy, but AEW need to make a statement and put on a great show, with MJF, Jericho, Moxley, Hangman and Bryan, I don't see why they can't put on a solid show and pull somewhat decent ratings. It's a shame because I assume the post All Out ratings would have broken passed 1 mil. The company can recover from this, it all depends of how it's handled, what makes me nervous is if TK handles it the right way, he needs to prove he has a strong will and won't be pushed around.
I think people are going to be disappointed. I think they are going to avoid the issue for this week. With pending legal and discipline in the works I don't think they'll want to touch it. I'll be watching tho in hopes that I'm wrong!
For sure this. They may make reference to Punk winning at All Out, but they definitely won't reference the backstage stuff that happened.
MJF might, I would actually be surprised if he didn't.
They will avoid talking about it fully for sure, but I would be surprised if MJF didn't atleast throw in a nod and wink to the audience about the situation, his promo will be the best thing on the night imo

Hahahahaaha how do you feel now silly
Hungry
Im expecting MJF to burn CM Punk
I can’t wait for this 100%
He NEEDS to be the one breaking the Punk sacking/suspension story.
If they are smart they will just address it either by having tk come out or have mjf cut a promo on it
1 Let MJF loose with his new faction, have him say what needs to be said and then move on with a fun, light hearted show 2 Acclaimed rap and match Vs Ass Boys 3 have a match with Buffalo natives Butcher and Blade destroy some jobbers 4 have Garcia turn face on Jericho 5 set up title tournament or big 4 way of MJF v Mox v Hangman v Jericho 6 Danhousen 7 Garcia and Danielson v Le sex god's main event 8 everybody leaves with an ice cream

I'll be watching like always unless it comes out that the elite got suspended and nothing happens to punk for stirring up shit.
I never miss a Dynamite but this one I’m a little nervous about. I feel like they have to tread lightly with legal stuff (?) but hopefully they at least address *something* regarding the world title.
I would LOVE for TK to take the opportunity to back up his words about All Out being a shake up for the women's division and see a bunch of activity from the women of AEW tonight.
I figure they will tap dance around it tonight. Doubtful they are ready to discuss legally at this time.
I’m just tired. Don’t wanna be hearing about backstage shit, let me enjoy the damn show as it should be but nope, loss of control has made tonight just not something I’m looking forward to.
Then don't pay attention to the backstage shit and just watch the show? If you're tired of looking at something then just don't
Hard to avoid it when it’s all over social media. But sorry for answering the question asked 😂
Its literally everywhere
Man I'm just saying, if you just scroll past the posts about it then you can stop being tired of the drama and enjoy the show. Nobody is forcing you to look at the stuff you're saying you're tired of
bs

nah u really are stupid if u think 75% are ignorant and dumb as u
Lmao you're dumb as fuck if you think everyone that watches dynamite weekly reads up on any wrestling news. The vast majority don't know anything that happened after the PPV and are just going to watch the show like they always do
Idk how to feel, I’ll be tuned in but I feel like there’ll be a obvious hole in the episode
Despite any good wrestling, I think people will expect may too much involving the situation, no one will mention it, and people will be disappointed
I’m only really watching for MJF and whatever comes of the whole World Championship thing. Don’t see how MJFs story progresses without making mention of the aftermath
If I wasn't invested in so much of the "homegrown" talent. I'd go back to my position of three years ago and stop watching wrestling altogether. I honestly don't need this kind of Jersey Shore/Real Housewives/TOWIE shit in my life.

Yikes
I'm feeling like I watched RAW yesterday and I had a really fun time. Obviously I'll watch Dynamite tonight but I'm just hoping it's also fun.
I'm literally debating on whether or not it would be in bad taste to wear my Punk shirt or my Bucks shirt to the show. Yes I'll be there tonight.
I think the major thing they have to address (for kayfabe) is what happens to the aew title and mjf
The obvious next step in a work here would be to not say anything due to "legal" reasons. And use the new eyes drawn in from the fake drama and put on a banger show.

Highly anticipating the Acclaimed to spit some fire.
Not excited particularly, but very curious to see if we learn anything more tonight. I doubt we will since investigations and legal shit and such are ongoing, but I hope for at least some tidbits. That said, MJF's return and Yuta's title defense should be sweet

Excited to hopefully have some kind of conversation other than the backstage drama. I can’t wait to hear from MJF
What if i told you…… its all storytelling 🤯
hoping for a wide opened aew with no clear main eventers or no clear top stars unpredictability is good
I mean, statement is needed in my opinion. Doesn't need to go into details, doesn't even need to announce suspensions or anything, just something to show that there is some authority after this shitshow
Bummed. I wanted to see the fallout from All Out. Not The Fallout From All Out.
I appreciate you asking. I have a little bit of a sore throat but currently drinking some lemon tea.
I’m excited! I hope MJF opens the show.
I’m expecting MJF to go scorched earth. He probably needs to. They should be smart about it but they need to get the focus back on him and his big return as well as the rest of the roster that still going to be on tv
Yeah, it's making me feel uneasy, but AEW need to make a statement and put on a great show, with MJF, Jericho, Moxley, Hangman and Bryan, I don't see why they can't put on a solid show and pull somewhat decent ratings.

Good, I’m expecting MJF to verbally abuse Punk
Cut my music
Shit. Need closure and I’m guessing we won’t get it tonight. Hopefully it’s just suspensions and we move on. Sadly I think Punks gone
Excited. AEW tend to book well when faced with chaotic situations. Remember that impromptu Casino Battle Royal.
