AEW All Elite Wrestling #9: Mox Aggressor Brings the Blood

[GKJ]

Sounds like Tony convinced Taro Okada that this match needed to happen now. One, because I think Willow is dropping the title. But it’s also more beneficial to Stardom I think to do this now and get some buzz on you with the Marigold show coming on Monday.

Also, an interesting way to put things that Stardom and AEW want to make the wrestlers’ dreams come true, and spread their wings and whatnot, and making the case that that is now something that can happen.

They were only ever a bunch of jabronis to begin with. It's amazing Sweve got over with all those dudes

Gates of Agony are a great tag team but they need to lose Brian Cage and get a real mouthpiece because Prince Nana belongs with Swerve. They could be similar to Authors of Pain as a dominant, silent heel tag team.

I feel like we've discussed injuries a lot with him? Back problems?

I'm not sure what his injury history is but that might be the issue.

 

[CDJ]

Yeah he’s got a chronic back issue. Stems from working with a broken back for over a year (originally hurt the back during a Greco-Roman training session)

The injury was also why he lost to Rush in under a minute at the NJPW-ROH supershow at MSG.

Okada/Dax has the opportunity to go so hard.

 

[GKJ]

Hope Mina Shirakawa had a wonderful flight

 

[Unholy Diver]

Will Danielson be able to recover from whatever injury he gets tonight in time for the ppv?

 

[BostonBob]

Wonder just how long a " significant overrun " lasts ???? I always add an extra 15 minutes to every Dynamite recording anyway but for tonight I'll make it 30 minutes.

Probably 10 minutes

 

[BostonBob]

Probably 10 minutes

If it's only 10 minutes then there's another poorly worded " special announcement " from Tony Khan.

That’s about what it was last week. Usually it’s 3 minutes I think

 

[Fro]

However long, Bubba will complain on busted open after dark

 

[GKJ]

Eddie Kingston is off Double or Nothing by the way. I’m guessing that was mentioned on the show.

 

[GKJ]

Willow and Mercedes needed to get physical because there’s been too much talking, but they made no mention that the title is being defended on Saturday

 

[GKJ]

Darby is the 4th man

 

[Emperoreddy]

Darby is nuts. Dude got hit by a bus like two weeks ago

 

[Clint Eastwood]

AEW has cooled down Mercedes so much that Willow is a massive babyface and Mercedes is getting booed.

I highly doubt this was intentional, but AEW can capitalize on this. Mercedes' vibe is more of a heel anyway.

That terrible theme music and that "CEO" branding. Just awful. No wonder she's getting booed.

She just sucks. Without being heavily produced, she is awful.

Not many places would go out the way to debut someone and then have them not wrestle for 2 1/2 months. Or any. But the program has made Willow shine more. AEW does not have enough women who are over, so it’s working out.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I think there are a handful of women on the AEW roster I prefer over Mercedes without even thinking that hard at this point lol

She should bring eyes (I hope) once she's consistently in the ring...

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Too late. She is not that great in the ring anyway. So unless they make the character very compelling, I think the opportunity they had to bring new fans in because of her has passed.
