AEW Dynamite January 3rd, 2024: International Championship on the line!

[Bad News Booty]

I suppose I should just let it play out but I’m also not that high on Hangman these days so that may be why I’m not into that much. Again, I’ll let it all play out and see how I feel.

He’s still one of my favorites so that’s why I love it…we don’t always gotta agree

nb not great. bummer as it was a great episode. hopefully it hooked ppl for next week!

Smark just hates that Joe won the title

That’s what I got from all this

I’ll be honest, I don’t love it.

But, since it only happened because Cole got hurt, I will forget it.

Martin going against Orange Cassidy is a good showcase for him to see if he has a true Singles potential within AEW.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

and yeah , the switchblade stuff also hurt my mark heart but now that he's opposing Undisputed Kingdom and part of the main angle immediately after a good showing in the c2, it's all forgiven

Not sure I’d say all is forgiven, but I am looking forward to the angle. I just need Switchblade to look like a beast from here out. I say that as a UK mark too.

I just want to say that Tony needs to be applauded for not abandoning the devil storyline when Cole got that hurt, or deciding to last-minute change who it was gonna be because that shows commitment to making it work loyalty to Adam Cole, who got hurt on your television and honestly who doesn’t think Adam Cole looks gangster when he sits in a chair cutting a promo?

Looks like a boss of like a mob or gang. Sitting there while his men do his business for him. Very badass

 

[Canadian Dragon]

The one hill I will definitely die on is that once the masked devil showed up and attack switchblade, it was never going to be anyone other than Adam Cole.

There’s actually some cool cuts of every time the devil showed up and every time Adam and MJF had a segment and every single development in the storyline pointed to Adam Cole. It was probably the most predictable storyline in Wrestling history, but I always tell people predictability doesn’t mean it’s bad. You don’t need a twist just to have a twist.

100x this. twists are fun. but you don't need to them for the sake of having them as you said. they did a great job giving you a bunch of suspects that were plausible but still gave you the thing that made the most sense at the end. same when hangman won. we all knew it was happening. we were all thrilled. sometimes predicable is awesome

Cody should have won *runs away*

It’s so cold. Especially when MJF loved him like a brother.

Brutal.

How are we even friends at all

he's still only been pinned by exclusively by a former, a current and a future world champion (mox, mjf, swerve). I think they'll reward him with The Acclaimed's trios belt to start

How are we even friends at all

We both love Scott Hall

I will be real with you Smark. I think Joe was penciled in as next champ after All In.

this is a reward run .

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I want to be clear as well if Joe only holds the belt for a short time, him actually being the champion doesn’t bother me. I just don’t think he should’ve been the one to end the MJF reign.

I think he was penciled in for a run at some point but like Chris was saying I think the end of the MJF run was supposed to be Adam Cole but then he got hurt.

it's all about perspective. Adam Cole will claim that he, in fact, ended MJF's reign
