Kazuchika Okada Joins The Elite! AEW Dynamite March 6, 2024 Review | WrestleTalk Podcast

[@JimbyNimbus]

Every time Okada has shown up in AEW, he's been in a tshirt and shorts/sweats. Corporate Kazuchika has arrived

[@kylemiller6560]

Ya....and everyone bitched for weeks about it. Does that count as long term storytelling?

[@stealthykoala9311]

I’ve not regularly watched AEW in over a year. Watched the PPV and tuned in for last night’s Dynamite and I’m so glad I did. What a bloody episode, so excited for what’s to come. The future of AEW looks so bright.

[@matthewpeek6890]

It’s been really good this year

[@ysonline]

The Bullet Club has now retired The Undertaker AND Sting! AJ and the Bucks.

[@TheWobbinator1]

That second phone number line was cold.

[@Sangito-24]

I literally thought the same as Luke with the second phone number stuff until Oli mentioned Swerves grillz 😂😂

[@josejacob82]

Excellent Observations!! Love you guys!!

[@whathappenswhenimbored]

It's so weird seeing Okada on the AEW roster page. Not only because he has "The Elite" under his name now, but also because he has yet to win a match in AEW, his current career record is 0-3. It feels so weird.

[@conorkebab]

Truly exceptional episode of Dynamite. From start to end, the show had a great flow that had me hooked from the new opening credits. So glad you brought up Kyles shirt. I’ll wait till the next time we see him on TV before I give it anymore thought, but that stood out to me aswell. Lol The fact that Mercedes debuts next week on top of everything happening in AEW right now..I’m having the best time as a fan right now

[@Twistedfate202]

@105:55 Making Oli break made my whole week 🤣

[@kcjc]

Loved the episode. I try to watch the show with my dad since he’s got back into wrestling a few years ago and he’s the reason I’m a fan. It’s been a while since I’ve seen him as invested in a tv match as he was Ospreay vs Fletcher. Also pretty interesting

[@gordon-punk]

Nice to see Oli again

[@michaelsinger4638]

(Kenny comes back later): “Hey morons, I’m an EVP as well. You two don’t have the authority to fire me.”

[@xfacta334]

Heel Cody definitely could have won the World Title. That stipulation guaranteed the future heel turn, and him going back on his promise just to stab Hangman in the back is the perfect fuel. Plus his last promo in the company basically set all of that up..... In an alternate universe Punk has back 2 back Fued Of The Year winners, with a 3peat looming.....

[@keitan116]

I can’t believe I missed this Dynamite. Had a super long drive. I can’t wait to watch this on-demand

[@FernandoMartinez-pv1id]

Go one 123 wrestling Its free there

[@bastienweisbein4400]

Can’t wait for Mark Davis to come back and the possibilities of the United Empire vs groups like the (new) Elite and for Aussie Open to run the tag division

[@bastienweisbein4400]

We’re so back

[@brianrasmussen4314]

I think the bang bang scissor gang could be one of those top groups but they’re supposed to be feuding with United kingdom Adams group but his group is doing nothing so I think it’s really holding back the bang bang scissor gang so hopefully they interfere with next weeks title match to prevent Wardlow from winning to heat up this rivalry that they should be having

[@SpaceGamblerJR]

So weird i was watching the Fite feed and it didn't cut off at the end and I watched it on delay.

[@raymondparisza5094]

I feel they are really stacking Dynasty We could have Joe/Swerve and Danielson/Osprey as a double main event Wonder if it’s not a make good for canceling the last ppv in St Louis

[@petersalizzoni1690]

Don’t forget Okada vs Kingston!!!

[@num1Jaysta]

That is Correct

[@rasmusforchhammer9557]

I feel like the stormbreaker is a more impactful finisher than the hidden blade. It's fine for people to kick out of the hidden blade to the front.

[@youngdeem718]

I loved this episode of dynamite but I will point out one thing about oli criticism of Kyle kicking out of the hidden blade. Takeshita actually was hit by 2 hidden blades in the match Sunday. When will popped up after the wheelbarrow German, he his him with one. When will takes off the elbow pad & hits someone with the hidden blade, they’ve yet to get up

[@NachtBogen]

There needs to be a "hold on im getting queues" shirt

[@CartwheelJoe]

Collision tickets are a tough one. As someone who has been to 14 aew events, I’ve only been to 1 collision and it was a let down. Granted it was a punk era so it’s different, but dynamite is still much more important and usually much better than collision. I don’t think it’s just a time slot thing, if you asked me which show I’d rather go to, 8/10 times I’m saying dynamite

[@sjdrifter72]

It should be no problem since Punk got fired. AEW can't even give tickets away for free!

[@CartwheelJoe]

Highest Wrestling attendance ever btw. cope harder@@sjdrifter72

[@louquay]

I think next week is going to make the Undisputed Kingdom stuff really good. Could see Wardlow losing and Cole kicking him out of the group. Then Wardlow feuds with them leading to eventually reuniting with MJF for a MJF & Wardlow vs. Cole and Roddy program. Could be fantastic.

[@coyote271280]

Okada vs Hangman just to figure out who has the strongest lariat (buckshot vs rainmaker match) and make them feud around that.

[@JustDonny]

I went back to look at Kyle's shirt and I do believe it's printed like that.

[@WikkedTwist]

I love the appreciation they have for Ospreay, but my understanding of the hidden blade is that the finish version hits from behind (hidden) and the variants from the front weren't considered the same move? Am I writing my own narrative here or?

[@nmarples1421]

I feel like Stormbreaker has always been Will’s protected finish? I mean he hasn’t even needed to use it yet in AEW. It’s the one that no one ever kicks out of

[@召命神弓]

Everest is a truly hellish place to be. That's a pretty high possibility we won't see Darby ever again in April

[@TheWolfLucifersAngel]

Thanks 🎉

[@michaelsinger4638]

Okada can play an EXCELLENT arrogant douche heel. He’s done it before. Ospreay vs. Danielson, YES PLEASE!! Ospreay, Okada, and Mercedes all in 3 weeks.

[@PrimeofPerfection]

Okada a corporate douche as a character makes me go "So Okada is Okada? Do you all not know his history?"

[@trevorbower4716]

Saying the young bucks are better as heels is just like saying a Carolina reaper burns less on the way out

[@robertmcdiarmid4921]

Fite/triller was wierd for this, watched it on the live feed and it played the whole thing, then went back later to rewatch danielson enterence and it cut of during the match 🤷‍♂️

[@KaiMoya420]

Climbing Everest is an actual heel thing to do. You go up there to trash, shit and piss in a billion people’s water source.

[@thepeoplesbroker]

What a show , wow

[@BePatient888]

My random thoughts: That new Dynamite theme song "POP" is 🔥!!! The Dynamite logo really does remind me of that NXT 2.0 logo. Then again, AEW has hired some ex-WWE content development personnel. Wardlow's match in Big Business just confirms the failure of the Undisputed Kingdom angle. It's a mid-card heel faction AT BEST. They can be redeemed, but as a tag team and trios faction. Don't know what to do with Wardlow. He's in the AEW "Meat vortex", where they don'pt have a lot to do with the bug guys as singles competitors. Anybody else notice that? Ospreay, Okada, Mone'.. .Oh MY!!! Ospreay, Okada, Mone'.. .Oh MY!!! Ospreay, Okada, Mone'.. .Oh MY!!!

[@AzumiLP]

Darby is the type of person who does such insane shit in the ring and in his personal life, escaping injury and death, but who will die in the most mundane way possible like peacefully in his sleep.

[@Illuminatty1]

A friend of my friend works at pro wrestling tees in Chicago and Okada n Kenny is a but confirmed. Theyre making shirts.

[@dr.muffinswaggerd.m.s491]

Stupid idea, but what if Jay does a pre-match beat down to write Darby off, so that if stuff goes terribly, Darby & Sting both go out with a big win on the pay-per-view

[@conc0n]

How will Chase U survive not gaining Okada as a member?

[@Soldiergraham84]

BCC vs FTR ladder match for finals of TAG TOURNAMENT

[@kylemiller6560]

MjF is back next week!?

[@Dekartz]

Okada was also mildly heelish on his way out of NJPW

[@acousticdavid8831]

I thought the t shirt was dirty at first...... but if you look closely, it's like a light leopard print pattern. Looked terrible though.

[@pastorcodymitchell1456]

ok i instantly love oli now (again) anyone who rags on communism is a friend of mine

[@donniedarko8023]

I think the Hidden Blade is lame. Especially for someone für Ospreay With His fancy moves. Its like that Spinning Back elbow from Jericho or the Spinning Back Hand Thing from Kingston. So lame. Like grandpa moves. Super unspectacular

[@MrEjd167]

I challenge you Ollie

[@sethamphetaminess]

You guys always say the women dont get enough time, and its because theres only 2 womens titles to book for, as opposed to the mens like 8 titles to book for. The solution is to give the women their own show. When theres only 2 womens titles compared to so many mens, it makes the women seem mid card, and means all those other titles need booking too. So the women need their own show

[@SwaggBoi69]

Luke, you were correct swerve having brits 2nd number means he is doing her.....oli you just old lmao

[@rockassassin64]

saddly i don't see the toxic stuff on twitter it's on facebook

[@pastorcodymitchell1456]

NOOOOO LUKE NOOOOOO

[@andy2069]

How can you fantasy book Joe for double or nothing without factoring in MJF

[@ungartothemax20166]

I think Trent is going to turn on Orange Cassidy

[@kylemiller6560]

Anyone but kyle shouldve been out down. Hes already building the next round of aew performers..

[@johntarver5684]

Is there a dark mode for the new logo? 😂

[@Alucard-A-La-Carte]

It is SO REFRESHING to finally have a major American wrestling company run by someone who doesn't have contempt for pro-wrestling. Vince McMahon spent the '90s and 2000s trying to flee the business he thought he was above and Russo and Bischoff were/are naked in their contempt of the business.

[@moss_connection]

I love you saying "Toni Awards with an i so we won't get sued cause it's the Oscars the night after", that was actually a joke about the Tony Awards, America's equivalent to the Olivier awards I believe, for Broadway theatre! Fun Fact!

[@MrGeo-EmitFodrol]

It is so fucking clear he fucked up not going to WWE.

[@arnezcooper1873]

I am shocking aew

[@alfredoberrios1722]

I don't understand why anyone was surprised by Okada heel turn. The suit gave it away.

[@donniedarko8023]

I dont know about WWE being hot. Have they ever been really hot Since 2005? Maybe I am Just too far away and way too much into the actual wrestling. Wrestling wise WWE is the least best company

[@ichneumon2776]

$13 million for 779,000 viewership. Congrats.

[@Lostpoet24]

Okada showed no ambition going to aew. The bucks are about as dangerous as a fluffy unicorn 😂

[@Dekartz]

As opposed to going to WWE to sit in the Mid-card (at best) because English isn't his first language?
