[3/12/25] AEW Dynamite Thread: MJF and Omega speak, OC/Hechicero, Beast Mortos/Wild Card, and (hopefully for the love of God) more!

[Reality Check]

Live from Fresno, California, where it's not only illegal to sell permanent markers, but also illegal to play bingo drunk, it's AEW Dynamite. Formerly the raisin capital of the world, it is home to Bruce Bowen, Kevin Federline, Bison Dele, and Xavier Worthy, and will be home to the first Dynamite following Revolution. Since Snowman is either on a bender or trying to convince free agents that he's a normal front office executive, we're a little light on...well everything. So far, here is what has been announced:

AEW International Championship Qualifier: Orange Cassidy vs. Hechicero


AEW International Championship Qualifier: The Beast Mortos vs. a Wild Card

Spoiler

Based on there not being a Canadian in the tournament, expect it to be Speedball or Josh Alexander

New AEW International Champ Kenny Omega speaks

MJF has something to say

Of course this attention whoring "I want to sit at the table with the white folks" faking the funk having ass Mexican says something.

 

[jerniebert]

Are you going?

Yeah, I'll be there. I'll be opposite the big screen behind the commentators desk. I didn't get floor seats because my wife struggles to see, so I got first row in the stands after the 3 rows of floor seats. It's a little elevated and should make it easier to see for her.

It wouldn't surprise me. Last time they were here Bandido was over huge when he wrestled Brian Danielson. People here love them some luchadores.

How do you like living in Fresno?

How do you like living in Fresno?

I love it but this is also where I grew up and lived all my life. I know it gets a bad rap, but to me it's great. I'm also very involved in the community. We get involved with community outreach and development planning, so we're invested in watching the city grow to what it can and should be. The cost of living is reasonable compared to LA/SF. My house has doubled in value since I've bought it 8 years ago. Newsom has invested a lot of money into the area. It's a good central location between LA and SF. It has its issues like most bigger cities, but the traffic is not crazy like other bigger cities. Hopefully they can get high speed rail done soon so it will give us a quick travel option. The whole Central Valley is growing pretty quick and people are starting to invest here. The weather can be a little hot for a lot of people(i love heat) in the summer but we don't really get cold and no humidity. Fire season is the one thing I really hate about it, but overall I love it and couldn't picture myself living anywhere else.

You might notice that the lineup for this week’s post-Revolution edition of AEW Dynamite looks relatively light right now on the official AEW website, and the show is set for tomorrow. Right now, AEW only has two segments scheduled for tomorrow’s show: a segment with new AEW International Champion Kenny Omega; and a segment where we’ll hear from MJF. Dave Meltzer explained more details about why AEW hasn’t announced any other matches or segments on this week’s show on today’s Wrestling Observer Radio.

According to Meltzer, AEW officials apparently had a full card put together for Dynamite. However, wrestlers being banged up and hurt coming off of last Sunday’s AEW Revolution pay-per-view is keeping AEW from promoting a more robust show. Meltzer indicated that AEW TV does its lowest numbers when the shows don’t “plug anything that interesting.” Meltzer continued, “This week, they’re plugging any matches at all! And we’re two days away! I know the reason. They legitimately had a full card, but guys got banged up.”
