[1/15/25] AEW Maximum Carnage Dynamite Thread: Mox/Hobbs, Omega back in action, Private Party & Briscoe/Hurt Syndicate, Hook/Christian, and more!

Because he did right it himself

And he’s has no idea I what he’s doing

Dude has no grasp of common sense storytelling.

Both Twitter and Reddit are very vocal about the dislike for this stupid Death Riders angle. Tony Khan can't be oblivious to it. His dumb ass is choosing to continue it.

The only thing that had me intrigued about the main event was the remote possibility TK would call an audible based on the amount of hate he got this weekend for that 12 man tag, even the most devoted of the sickos were like yo fukk this shyt

One of the best parts of early AEW was his ability to just drop bad storylines after a couple of weeks of poor reactions. He did it with the Brandi Rhodes stuff & the Broken Matt Hardy stuff. But he hasn't had the ability/balls to do it again more recently. I don't know what changed.

I leave this show wanting to see more of Hurt Syndicate, more of Megan Bayne, more of Stat attempting to redeem herself while throwing hands with the people she wants to forgive her, and more of the eternal battle between 30+ year old bald&beard brehs vs dread brehs.

ButI also leave this show... never wanting to see this show again.

I guess I'll see how it feels a week from now, but like... jesus man. This shyt is kinda draining tbh. It's the illusion of change but basically everyone on the card who was here 3 years ago is in the exact same position they were in 3 years ago. Or a worse one.

Basically no one has been effectively elevated in 1000 days with this company. That's insane. And it's just kinda... sad.

If they at least embraced being WCW Redux, at least it could be fun. But instead, they tell themselves they aren't, while doing the same things.

• Clogging the top of the card with older guys who work limited dates
• building most of the segments around aged stars from yesteryear who won't put youth over when it matters,
• too. many. fukking. factions.
• people carrying titles they don't defend that don't matter.
• 'shock and awe' booking built around blood, mass melees or unsafe stunts
• the same tops guys barely doing anything
• a host of undercard talent people like, but are ultimately treated like jobbers-with-benefits
• and excessive reliance on psychology-less sub-200lbs flippyshyt

Well TSC tonight's show was saved by the Women's Casino Gauntlet.

Now its time for me to retire to the Snow Bunny Hotel

Directions???

The only good thing about the Death Riders is they made Marina Shafir relevant. She ain't a wrestler, but she's a convincing Chyna-esque goon manager.

No the fukk she ain’t

Kayfabe she’s basically one of the most overpowered people in the entire AEW universe…and it’s ridiculously unconvincing….EVERYTHING about this Death Riders angle is fukking terrible…Moxley must have something about him being able to completely waste half a year of their main event scene written into his contract

lowkey...
Marina is booked like Stephanie was
fukks up everyone, always in the videos, booked to be way stronger than she probably should be, basically never gets comeuppance

 

[CM_Burns]

Ricochets new character is good, the match with Swerve has been built well

She plays her role well. I can see her continuing to play the goon manager after this stupid storyline is over. That's the point I was trying to make.

I guess part of it for me is I have zero knowledge of who she is/was outside and before she just popped up one day unexplained with Moxley treating grown ass mean like she’s Brock in his prime …she isn’t physically imposing enough for it to work for me.::comes off less like Chyna and more like if Rhonda Rousey in WWE was just some broad off the street with no UFC bonifides that they just brought in to make stupid “tough mean” faces and beat up every man on the roster …I don’t even know how that translates outside of the plot armor Death Riders have for whatever reason

You willing to travel to Skyrim

watching the youtube clips

glad Joe is back
glad to see more Swerve/Ricochet
So Hobbs gotta wrestle on one leg for Collision because they waited for that specifically to happen to finally run out
This Death Riders story is now extended and now focused on an older talent because the young talent it was meant for decided to go climb a mountain.....and his boss let him, in the middle of the storyline
MJF is a hack at this point

nitpick, I never liked that ramp for wrestling and you'd think with Adam Cole foot exploding from jumping off that they wouldn't do it anymore. [I know freak accident but still] It just essentially cuts off a whole part of the outside area.

Good to see Joe back. Had that spoiled and the Toni win by glad to see her get the win. Wonder if she continues as rocker Toni or wins the belt back and her memory returns.

Like the Rico and Swerve thing. Someone on twitter was saying how they should've given swerve a mic to speak. Which makes no damn sense. Man was brutally attacked with a pair of scissors. You get jumped, you gonna tell the guy hold on let me cut a promo on you to tell you how that made me feel, or are you gonna try to kick some ass? All this talking in wrestling got people thinking that's more important than kicking some ass on some vengeance.

I understand why they doing it cuz of their history but i see no reason for the Okada and Ishii match. Guess they just need a filler for the show.

Let's see what happens with patriarchy and joe group. Shouldn't be a long feud since they already have done stuff in the past.

Rather neutral on the jj and mjf stuff. At least it's keeping them busy and giving them tv time. Likely not gonna be as good as the mjf and jericho stuff but hopefully it helps somehow.

Let's see how they do this six man tag. Maybe Hobbs is written off and stays away from all that mess. Maybe I'll browse thru the show late Saturday night or at some point on Sunday.
