"They've (AEW) made titles meaningless ... everyone has a belt ... EVERYONE HAS A BELT! ... the people in the match have belts ... the people running in have belts ..." - The Great Brian Last So true Brian ... so true ... 👍

[@CairnieR]

I'm amazed AEW hasn't recognised any of the people in the crowd carrying replica belts as champions(then again thats pretty much just the locker room at this point)

Here's a list of all of the titles currently being defended regularly on AEW tv. AEW (mens): World, TNT, All Atlantic, Tag Team, Trios AEW (womens): World, TBS ROH: Mens World, Womens World, Pure, TV, Tag Team, Trios Not counting FTR's other championships, there are currently 13 titles being regularly defended on AEW tv. That is crazy.

[@polkaputo3226]

that’s 23 individual belts btw

i'm sure Jim's gonna love the 18th edition of Dynamite , it was against NXT and they only managed to get 700K viewers and their celebrating as if they hit 2.2 million

[@o.w.omarquito2047]

Pretty sure TK twitted a Morgan Freeman pic which in the context of that movie he is getting ready to deliver a beating.😂 Like bro, it’s NXT 2.0, with the actual developmentals nobody had seen before. Can’t even compare it to the nxt with the Indy darlings the Hardcore marks knew a little more. TK and Jericho are probably the only ones thrilled about this “War” victory.😂

[@Hush_Money2]

NXT manage to keep their audience while AEW lost most of their audience. Yikes!😬😬 With their top star at the main event. Deonna Purrazzo vs Mercerdes Martinez pulled in more than Mox.😱😱 Mox lost to a show of rookies no one sees. He pretty much lost the super diva.

[@HighFlyLO]

[@drillosophy1012]

[@dellboy1775]

It's sounds harsh but there have been multiple stars of the older generation saying you don't need to take the risks your taking it's gonna cause an injury. In this case there is no reason to do a flip on that close line it's the flip that caused it. Hopefully after seeing that happen on a seemingly harmless move will make some of there talent listen to the older generation and start working smart rather than recklessly taking pointless bumps. Hope he's ok and not as serious as it looked

[@sx9204]

The heel turn was the big chance and just like everything else they missed it.

[@dacronicspotgaming6104]

I'm looking forward to Jim and Brian's thoughts on the awesome promo from MJF and Regal it was great

[@rupe82]

Feels like they're turning MJF face. Regal was basically the heel in that promo.

[@12ozmouse99]

It was weird, and a little to similar to the Punk promo. Both MJF and Regal were great, of course, but the thought of turning MJF face terrifies me. A fake turn ending in a “swerve” isn’t a whole lot better.

[@dacronicspotgaming6104]

Well I'm hoping they ain't stupid enough to turn MJF to a face , 🤔 but it is aew and Tony khan we are talking about, so I'm dreading a turn from MJF as he has to be one of the best heels ever

[@illmilfinestke]

I pictured a baby doll down flowing down the street😂

[@kitrouth]

The Mark Sterling crap is terrible, having just watched this week’s Dynamite they’re already having a trademark vs tag titles match and WTF IS HAPPENING THIS MAKES NO SENSE

[@brownfox4995]

I need to hear Jim do a whole segment on the MJF William Regal promo exchange. It has to be one of the top highlights AEW has had so far. It hurt MJF and it’s a baby face turn for him or a swerve. But Regal owned him. MJF dropped a good promo but it done nothing for MJF. It built up the legend Regal but it wasn’t getting MJF more over. Loved it but don’t understand what they were selling with it.

[@ModernDayRenaissanceMan]

A face turn. When MJF cut the promo & the house blew up & Regal took the mic I said "Oh man Regal is an 8 on the stick... can he hang with that?" And he did! That was a great back & forth. It sold HARD. It wasn't their only interaction. Keep that in mind. There is a bigger picture.

[@slickduecemanattorneyatlaw2558]

Canada should become the new home of AEW, as they have socialised healthcare. The company would save a fortune.

[@robertm.3520]

It would be a perfect marriage. An irrelevant company based in a irrelevant country.

[@Charles-qw5ug]

[@DeathKnecht]

I actually wanna here about the fact that aew directly shot moxley cutting himself again and didn't even noticed it .

[@lebenshilfemavericke.v.106]

It's all injuries wrestling 🤷‍♂️

[@gambitg99]

“Just AEW”. 🤣🤣🤣

[@ModernDayRenaissanceMan]

I think MJF is doing a slow face turn. It's just a Tony Khan book behind it messing it up.

[@AnthonyAnalog]

I cannot wait to hear Jim review Hangmid's backflip going into business for itself on live TV 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It’s Hangma’am sir.

[@_meangreenjersey973]

[@jefersonsilvx7841]

I watched neither because NXT couldn’t even get over talent in there. Instead Goof Bros., Shinsuke and Theory, all jobbers considering their previous bookings in wwe. Aew actually seems more palatable by comparison. Despite being a 💩 show besides that MJF and regal segment or the Hangman thing which at least kept me around to see how aew filled the last 10 mins of the show😂

I havent seen this Dynamite on Tuesday, i saw some thumbnails, but damn....there needs to be a Champions Galore PPV with EVERY title on the line in a duper card. Two world title matches 3 TV/Network title matches, An Oceania title match, some pure match, every womens title, tag titles, TRIOS titles, even Taz's FTW title match. Not even Battle of the Belts is long enough to host every title match

[@zeynees]

[@insupportofjunhado]

Renee makes more since than being Jon's wife. She's also really loved in Canada. Maybe they thought she'd get that CM Punk type reaction and she wouldn't need anything else to do or say, but unlike him she hasn't really been away flailing in MMA, writing comic books and chatting about the news on the anchors, she's remained visibly involved with wrestling in some capacity.

[@garyhen2028]

Should just drop rampage and call it ring of honor

[@docwhat8370]

I was so angry about the scissor trademark rubbish I nearly turned off the show. It's mind meltingly stupid to (kayfabe) ban the hottest and most popular catchphrase in the whole company currently - and to take something genuinely entertaining out of a show that almost wears out my fast forward button each week. One final point: I'm not an American, but I'm guessing having white guys Ethan Page and Matt Hardy feud over which of them owns two black guys is somewhat tone deaf.

[@lordpula1193]

I'll admit that it's been a breath of fresh air not seeing the Hardly Boyz and Twinkletoes Mcfingerbang on TV Hope they keep it that way and it's awesome that Renee Paquette is in AEW Hopefully she does Backstage interviews because she wasn't that good on Commentary in WWE she was only put in that position for mainstream publicity and Christian Cage has been doing such an amazing job as a heel so far.

I thought the 10/18 episode of Dynamite was great. The Regal/MJF promo was awesome and Page getting knocked was slightly entertaining. Jim and Brian have been saying it for years; these guys don't work safe and they are shortening their careers because of it. Adam Cole has been gone for months and may not come back. Kyle O is out. Now Page. The territories wouldn't have worked if the guys back then were this unsafe.

Most athletic commissions would never have granted AEW a license.

[@gearsofwar573]

Nope I think MJF might be leaving for wwe or tony the tart think so and they are going to do to MJF what they did to the ex wwe wrestlers and they are going to job him out.

[@CreatureOTNight]

Why does TK need to flog a dead horse. Reinvent, produce new wrestling content. Dont just remember the good ol' days and use "turds" to recreate them. TK is nothing more than the Asylum of wrestling companies. He's seen some good shows and now produces a budget come bargain bin show.
