I can't tell if its a work or not. I can't imagine anyone, of any gender, wanting to pay $49 for that.
Didn't Steph do something like this for free?

I cant tell when she (brandi) is kayfabe

I think since turning heel and doing these promos/interviews that Britt has been a highlight every week, Yeah we knew how it would end but still was entertaining with Baker out there. Just because you know the outcome of something doesnt mean it cant be enjoyable. Man wrestling fans just need to enjoy things and not complain all the time..

The Britt Baker stuff has been very good. I have said this in a bunch of places but I give a LOT of the props to Rebel. She has been so damn good playing the goofy sidekick to Britt. Talk about being given a throw away roll and turning into something meaningful from week to week. I also thought she did a respectable job in the ring (we all knew it was going to be an absolute squash but she looked decent for her limited time).

I doubt it will last. Didn't Brandi just delete her Twitter or something?

Idk what that was all about but whatever.

As for the show this past Wednesday it was solid like usual.

I didnt know what this was until i saw it elsewhere.

It actually seems like a good deal if they actually fulfilled their end. Exclusive QA, zoom calls with talent, special merchandise. Hell the free merch and actually video calls with talent is worth more than the $50.

Seems people either got hung up on the price or didnt read that it was ANNUAL, which is like $4 a month. People were ruthless with comments on Twitter apparently calling it a cash grab and calling her a sh** person. Like for real?

[ssilva872]

People on Twitter are the worst. Why I don't use that trash.

Exclusive does not mean free.
Its basically a glorified "fanclub" like from back in the day.


Feminism for profit. Don't act like it's some sort of movement.

Umm, ok?

Dont think i said it was a movement? simply said people overreacted especially about the price.

And you're right i misread it said exclusive merch offers. Still think $4 a month is worth it. If you dont, thats fine too

- edit- i see now what you must be talking about, the way they were "marketing" it, which i will agree is kinda a reach n deserves criticism, my apologies

So instead of getting a nice feud going are they just going to go through the whole roster and everyone gets a shot at Cody? Brodie Lee gets his chance next week. Will be beat Cody? A belt got to change at some point.

ME was ok, glad to see OC getting a push and a nice win.

Rest of the show was blah. Again, I Guess Archer and Cage are done? Just seems like every Dynamite over the past few months have been the same.

Archer was on the show this week in a a backstage segment and Cage just set up a heel group w Taz and Ricky. Both are signed full time with the company. I’d very much doubt they are done.

I never saw an update for this, so I asked a friend who works for AEW...

He hasn't heard anything pertaining to cards or Funko Pops, but there should be more action figures in the next year...

[DonrussDean]

Brodie Lee just destroyed Cody to win the TNT Title.. Maybe the biggest ass kicking I have seen.

[Gurds]

That was a great show. Ending was really good

[DonrussDean]

Best ending AEW has had.. WOW..

DO is in charge now. Anna Jay chokes out Brandy, DO beats up Dustin and Arn and Lee takes the belt and beats Cody off the stretcher after the match.

Give me Lee vs Archer now..

With Brandie and Allie losing and now this, wonder if they are going to write Cody and Brandie out for a while?

Ehh im on the opposite side. The ending pushed it to slightly above average imo.

The opening tag match was good, but as per my usual minor gripe, no way FTR was gonna lose.

The Mox/MJF promos were solid.

Omg the 8 man tag was just a clusterf* of spots, most of which were botched or terribly telegraphed. Ending was horrible, no idea what the Kingston after match was, setting up the 500th stable in AEW?

Britt has usually been great at promos, but this was bad, and Kip and Fords bad acting didnt help either.

Im usually a Jericho promo guy, probably only 1 who thought Demo God was hilarious, this was ok, but the match sounds utterly stupid imo

Ofc the Bucks and Omega didnt self fellate enough last week...

I like Page as a character and wrestler, but this promo made him look dumb. Unless the end result is him joining FTR, Tully and whoever else for the rumored Horseman

Matts beatdown was pefect

Darbys match was meh, but Starks was genius!

The womens tag, at least Brandi didnt wrestle much or botch. Rolled my eyes at the "lil bran bran" action figure plug

ME was excellent. The ending was excellent. The only thing i have issue with potentially is,

Lee went toe to toe and almost beat Mox, but tonight just obliterates Cody easily. I know transitive property doesnt equate to sports but, does this make Cody nowhere near Moxs level? And Archer got beat by Cody pretty cleanly, so how are we suppose to view him now?

Again small nitpick, just think it wouldve served everyone better to either do this earlier, or have Archer do this initially.

[jmarascojr]

As a Harper/Mr. Brodie Lee "homer" I obviously was very happy with the ME and ending.

I had been waiting to see them make him look like more of a monster and they finally did it.

They would have destroyed the character had he lost to Mox and then to Cody, but I definitely did not expect a squash match.

[Jericho]

Happy for Brodie Lee, but still hate the Dark Order stuff. I think he'd be better off as a loner type character. Hopefully this takes Cody and Brandi both off TV for a long long time.

Another Jericho/Cassidy match? Not looking forward to that at all, these two just do not have good matches together.

Same.

Archer vs Lee and Colt Cabana will cost Brodie the match.

Also could this lead to Cody starting a 4-horsemen type thing with Page, Archer?

The IC stuff is getting old overall.

[7jacfire]

I'm glad Lee won the title and I also thought the ending was great, but they need to focus on making the rest of the Dark Order look stronger if they want this angle to succeed. The Dark Order still feels like it's just Brodie Lee, Colt Cabana, and about 8 interchangeable jobbers as opposed to a stable comprised of wrestlers who can be actual threats.

Where was Allie and Cabana?

They should have had the elite come out and DO take them out too.

Annajay really impresses me, she has the skill and hotness to be a star. I hope they give her a huge push and maybe the belt for a time period. I will take her over Ford. Baker no doubt will get the belt next, maybe a Baker/Annajay feud then? As long as Big Swole or He She don't get it.

[jmarascojr]

^^^ I didn't see Cabana (no big loss there), but wasn't Allie the one that choked out Brandi at the end?

[ShoutFan2020]

Just an FYI for AEW fans, Young Bucks have a new signed book available for pre-order at B&N.

That was Annjay, who joined DO a few weeks ago..

[DonrussDean]

Cage and Archer would be awesome.. Please have it next week.

[Gurds]

That was a great contract signing segment
