Funny enough, some comments on the Austin Aries CVV interview are saying he should #joindarkorder

Yeah I think it's Brodie, if any. (We likely won't know for a few months, 90 day no-compete and all that). Aries would probably top my list of least wanted. I was so disappointed when he showed up in MLW.

I've enjoyed every episode of Dynamite, but man there are some big issues.
Wasn't this supposed to be a realistic based sports product? Things like the Dark Order and Brandi's gimmick are pretty out of place imo. I figured AEW would be on par with NXT from a pure wrestling standpoint, it hasn't been and it's not close.
This is just not what I expected from AEW. I was hoping for an even better version of prime TNA, and while this company has done some great stuff, it's not why what was promised imo.

I've been watching Dynamite every week since it began and while I do agree that the women's division is weaker than NXT or TNA, it really is not much worse than their midcard division. The male midcarders in AEW are consistently waiting for spots or blowing them completely (looking at you Butcher and Blade) and that distracts me far more than women who are confused in the middle of the match. I can at least justify what they are doing as "scouting out their options" or something to keep me in the match but when you see guys like Joey Janella or Butcher just waiting and watching stuff happen until it's their turn to do a spot I can't justify it from a perspective of realism.
The highlights in AEW continue to be Jericho, Moxley, Darby Allen, Jurassic Express, Best Friends, Cody Rhodes, SCU, Lucha Bros and when the audio is working MJF. The rest right now really need direction, and a 30 second kidnapping angle isn't enough.

The Dark Order vignettes and Brandi's stuff with Kong are two of my favorite things AEW is doing right now. I want character development and AEW is giving it to us. AEW still really doesn't have a midcard. It feels like anyone could get a shot at Jericho right now. Until they have a midcard title of some sort, I'm not even worried about anything other than MJF telling us we suck each week. Everyone has some kind of identity on the show, other than Brandon Cutler who is just happy to be there, and that's more important as a setup than checking off segregated boxes for each level of the roster imo. I ing love Kris Statlander. So while I'm not particularly hot on the direction of the women's division as a whole, Kris being around the last couple of weeks has really helped bring up my interest level in the women. The Swole vs Emi match wasn't for me. I find Shida to be super talented. Probably the best female they have on the roster, and I'm in favor of moving the title onto her. That said, I still think they badly need Ivelisse and I'm having a hard time not counting down the seconds to Tessa Blanchard.

Hopefully they just get Brodie Lee out of those 4. If they take all of them, AEW will be labeled like TNA- the land of wwe rejects. More like land of actually using talent

As much as I really, really, really, really, really want you to be right, I'm not convinced Tessa will come over. She loves intergender wrestling, and she's not gonna get that here. That being said as long as she doesn't have to be exclusive, she can grind with the best of them, so if she can find another place to do the intergender stuff (I don't see Impact sharing her with AEW anytime soon), that might be enough. I want to say her Impact deal is coming up soon, but I can't remember. I think she mentioned her contract length on her Van Vliet interview. I'll lose my mind if she shows up, but I'm definitely afraid of getting my hopes up for her.

I know this is very unlikely but i'd love to see sami callihan come to AEW and have the switchblade conspiracy reunite, they could take on the inner circle alone...

I personally hope Sami Callihan and all of his friends stay far away from AEW. There's already one group of friends in AEW I'm not stoked about.. hopefully they don't add another.

I’ve never seen the hype with Callihan, especially now that he’s chubby and bald.

Good episode so far. It's crazy but after living through some of the skits WWE has done over the years, when I see a show where nothing is egregiously bad, doesn't even have to be "great/good," just not mind numbing.. I'm happy.
Not to mention 2 things have been accomplished so far. Jungleboy Jack Perry has become MORE of a star, than before the show started tonight. That's awesome. Second, Kris Statlander moves closer to fixing the Womens division of AEW. Seriously, two excellent building blocks.
That's what I want out of AEW.. not necessarily blow away, greatest show of all time. Just put some building blocks in place, add some more blocks each show and eventually capitalize on those things instead of systemically holding it all down in favor of "brand."

Kris is really good in the ring and its a nice change from Brit since she looks real green still. Interested to see more of Kris on the mic and if they go with her alien gimmick she does.

That guy is going to get an earful backstage the next time he shows up at the arena.
