I still think they should postpone this. Dynamite without a crowd is one thing but a major PPV and the anniversary of their inaugural event without a crowd just sucks. We should refer to this event as Double or Covid.
This is up to eight matches now (according to it's wiki) - including the Inner Circle vs The Elite in a "Stadium Stampede" match.... which begs the question: "if there's no crowd and this many guys in a match, why not just do Blood and Guts?"....
Pretty good Card so far. I expect Shida to win that Four Way next Week and face Nyla Face for The Women's Title as well.
Speaking of Shida, did anyone else see this? Disgusting, I think I'm gonna puke now.

TBH, I don't think either of them are doing much for the title, other than the initial surprise of him showing up Mox hasn't really set the world on fire (yes, circumstances beyond his control but c'mon, how about some social media?) and Lee would be worse.
Why should Mox have to use social media, exactly? He's all about kicking people's asses, social media doesn't fit his character and it never has. He uses his Twitter to promote his ventures, and that's all he really needs to use it for.
Because:
A: He's the world champion, part of that responsibility is promoting the company and TV show you work for (unless there's somebody else in a prominant position that can do so, in which case you're just a storyline champion and anybody can fill the role.
B: He's barely been on TV and, as you said, hasn't been used well/often and by not promoting himself he's allowing himself to become irrelevant - regardless of what fits his character and what doesn't, if the world champ allows himself to become irrelevant then why not put the title on somebody that won't and that will play the game (i.e show up on youtube shows and talk up the company)?
My opinion isn't based on Mox as an individual or character, it's based on what the World Champion of a new promotion should be doing. Right now it feels like he's the World Champ just "because" and, IMO, Cody, Jericho, Kenny Omega and Hangman would make better champs due to their ability to use social media to promote themselves and their show and Brodie Lee would make a better storyline Champ because he brings with him the Dark Order to be a "big bad" for the good guys to chase after and battle through.
I can't see what Mox brings to the table that any of those guys I just mentioned wouldn't do better, and his being "All In" to content creating and being prominent social media is certainly affecting that opinion.
