AEW Dynamite Grand Slam Sept 21st, 2022

I’m curious to see the rating for this show. A very solid card. I know New York is going to go crazy when The Acclaimed take the titles.

I feel like I must've missed something along the lines for the ROH set-up. It would feel odd having Jericho lose another championship match so soon but given that all of Claudio's defences have been against randoms on Rampage, it would really hurt him to lose the belt so soon. I figure this must have something to do with the build towards Jericho and Garcia, possibly? Also, would really add a notch to Claudio's belt to have a win over him and a 'legitimate' defence.

The women's booking continues to get lost in the Bermuda Triangle. We've gone from tag team matches to fatal four ways. The rankings system feels completely pointless when it essentially becomes a free for all for everyone.

I like that Acclaimed/SIOG artwork though. I wonder if this is just for Grand Slam or wherever they're updating their overall presentation.

The build kinda started by a throwaway line a couple weeks ago during an ROH title match where Jericho mentioned never winning it on commentary (dubbed in later too I think)

But yeah its a bit random, relates to the BCC/JAS feud still tho. My interpretation is Jericho sees he's losing Garcia and sees winning the ROH title as a way to win him back

 

[Canadian Dragon]

yeah roh world title pretty much established as an open contract title as well but yeah it was quickly rushed along, no doubt

 

[Chris]

I'd say all still logical though, the only thing they really should have done is involve Claudio a bit more in the Jericho/Yuta/Garcia/Bryan melodrama

 

[Canadian Dragon]

I mean at the end of the day its a ppv match on tv between two of the greats. aint gonna complain much myself

Specifying that I'm not posting this directed at you bc you still said it was cool but



nothing will be as bad (heh) as Bad Bunny tho lmao acting like WWE just plucked an unknown bc he made a song about Booker T and now he's the first even non-english speaking artist to win album of the year at the Grammys lol shit still gets me heated

Ive learned my lesson on Bad Bunny, though I had no idea he had a song about Booker T and people had used that as the reason. But yeah, much a better attitude to just be happy for the ppl who like said artists

I just remember being so flabbergasted bc I'd heard about the dude so much for years but then I realized it's bc of how much I'm exposed to Latin culture lol like I wasn't even trying to defend that he was a good celebrity to use at the time, just that he was a popular one lmao but yeah his first appearance was doing the Booker T song (which was really bad actually) and then he started appearing on Raw after bc his Miz feud started that night

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Yeah as someone over 30 that lives far north of Mexico or any latin culture it was certainly lost on me, but then I also forget that like probably 100 million ppl speak Spanish in the US and it's pretty much a second national language

I'd also say anyone late 20s and def in their 30s should probably not expect to know pop culture crossovers lol not sure when that really starts but I'm seeing it myself already at 26
