From Jon Moxley doing garbage non-deathmatch wrestling to Sting botching a table spot. Truly an episode of AEW Dynamite.

[@EmberMcLain87]

and i think i recall hearing he botched a table spot at forbidden door as well so 2 botches in the span of 3 days

He botched his face, he landed the table spot though.

Brian is absolutely right - Moxley has to be one of if not the worst pro wrestler in the world. Stupid promos that make you want to laugh at him more than be impressed or intimidated, terrible in-ring work, ridiculous facials and body language, can't stop bleeding for no reason, every match looks the same ... I could go on and on. Just absolutely awful. It begs belief how anyone could rate him as a wrestler.

[@loonanite]

Nooo! They need to re-watch that 6-man with Pockets. Vikingo did a outside dive and blatantly took out Keith Lee and re-did the spot where he was originally supposed to catch him and throw him into the heels. After that, I tapped out lol

[@alanmcdonald469]

Nobody in AEW is a ratings draw. The company is what it is at this point. A mark running the show, and a bunch of bland, uninspiring clown's lining the show from top to bottom. Multiple potential stars buried and the ball fumbled on them, seemingly constant backstage issues and childish behaviour from pathetic man children who can't grow up, it all is what it is at this point. Their fans will swear up and down that its good, but if youre not in the bubble, and you see it for what it truly is: AEW is a void, where nothing counts, and nothing matters.

[@john_blues]

"Well, I was pepper sprayed at the time...". 😂 Jim has the best stories.

[@klawstecno2083]

[@bryanjackson9033]

Johnathon Good is a former WWE Champion and was pushed to carry SD! Live in 2016 as the land of opportunity. In 2023 he continues to prove Vince McMahon was/is still is right about him. His WWE Championship reign didn’t last long like Leati “Joe” Anaoi and Colby Lopez cause of his choice of matches and style of wrestling. That’s why Vince is still successful and is probably laughing at this situation of Good saying “Ambrose was treated like the bastard child of The Shield”.

[@Cruising_On_Lake_Havasoma]

I wonder what hit Moxley harder, Brock Lesnar telling him right to his face that all of Mox's hardcore ideas were stupid and he's not gonna do any of that shit, or the former owner of ECW sitting next to Lesnar laughing at the idea of Brock doing CZW-lite. Man I wish I could have been in the room for that conversation.

[@Parallelocam]

They need to split up Darby and sting. It does nothing for either guy and just makes Darby come off like a child

[@basherman69]

Obviously, the main problem with Jon Moxley is his constant blading in matches. It's become so frequent that it's become a meme. What Moxley should have been doing, as a heel, is making all of his opponents bleed in every confrontation, whether being in the ring backstage, in the parking lot, et al, thus creating the demand by fans to want an underdog babyface to do the same to Mox in a big match on a pay-per-view.

[@bash8387]

On Wednesdays I go to wrestling chats and everyone bets to see when and if mox will bleed

[@redwolfe7049]

Moxley is a top guy who brings the bad part of indie wrestling on tv. I'm sorry but when you're a featured wrestler on tv, you gotta have the talent to back it up. Moxley doesn't have it.

[@barniculas]

Wasn't a double clothesline that was a drunken "Bro-hug"

[@klawstecno2083]

I still don't understand how the hell people support this car wreck of a show but do whatever they can to make mockery of Collision, was a surprise for this geeks that a Professional Wrestler kicked the Ballet Dancers ass?

[@Thurmanatr16]

When does CM punk start drawing any ratings? We were told for months here he was the missing piece…

[@TriplomatX]

After reviewing this Dynamite, all I gotta ask is, when will Sting have his Shawn Michaels' "We're Too Old For This Shit!" Moment? That China must have got him thinking it was TNA vs Monster Abyss or 2000 WCW vs Vampiro. He almost ended his career from a Buckle Bomb, & that was Seth's fault, who can Sting blame for him jumping & crashing that bad.

[@sebastianwhpx298]

It wasn't Seth's fault Sting even said so in an interview.

[@devindunn449]

Lmfao, I love this art. Jim cornette and Travis always gets my attention. You guys are awesome. 👍🔥🤣

[@tysonsutton9621]

I was involved in a FB debate yesterday evening with a gentleman who feels that Moxley should not be judged for bleeding and doing pointless death matches unless we judge Funk and Foley for doing the same thing. He was serious.

[@chico1680]

Anytime either Foley or Funk bled, it was never pointless. It always meant something.

[@alanmcdonald469]

That's the typical AEW fan. They will try to move heaven and hell to convince you that it's good, instead of acknowledging any sort of criticism that you make of their product. It's sad honestly.

[@Cruising_On_Lake_Havasoma]

He has a point, we should be judging Funk and especially Foley. Foley was patient zero for all the hardcore shit, that HITC match with Taker did more long term damage to the business than anything Herd or Shitstain booked.

So get this... I’ve been subbed to New Japan world since 2018. Moxley matches are the same as Some of those old wrestlers in new Japan like Satoh or tenzan who will go out there on every show working a 6 man tag and trade boring dull forearms no selling. It’s unwatchable truly.

[@JohnTorres1987]

Moxley used to be in shape when he joined AEW. I don’t know what happened.

[@falsedemocracy83]

Moxley blading in front of the camera is part of his strategy. He does it to "play possum." He makes his opponent think that he's really hurt bad, but in reality the strike to Moxley's head did nothing! 5 seconds after the "devastating" blow, Moxley is back on his feet and kicking ass! He's just "playing possum!"

[@maskedninja876]

​@nabeelsangani571 any suggestions?

[@RickyChana-te5vv]

Anyone else finding that these new episodes are not loading on their podcast apps?? Last ones are 488 of experience and 299 of drive thru?

[@fuzzfrancis435]

Moxley is a poor man's Onita.

[@JMFSpike]

That Moxley match was definitely horrible, but the problem wasn't really Moxley. The main problem is so many people in AEW always wanting to do that stupid shit where they stand and trade punches, chops, elbows, kicks, or whatever else they think of because they think it's cool. Even Eddie Kingston and Brian Danielson are guilty of it, two guys I think are otherwise great. So the problem is really just the AEW wrestling mentality as a whole. That stuff just looks stupid. Nobody is going to stand there and let someone hit them as hard as they can. Yes, there are a couple of instances where it could happen, but certainly not like it's presented in AEW where it's some kind of contest only a complete moron would participate in.

[@GraveMemories]

Bro I don't know what happens to Ambrose man. I'll never forget when he won the WWE championship. His first feud was Ziggler and they had a very underwhelming match. If you have a shirt match with Ziggler who can wrestle a broom stick and it would still be good, then your not that guy. I definitely have up on Ambrose after that. In Aew I loved the lights out match with Omega and after that he's been the worst wrestler on planet earth that's supposed to be a top guy like ever. He's fucking terrible

[@chriscornelius2518]

Since he opened the door lets talk about it. A transexual was in the frnale locker room during a pool party at my local gym. The girls, 8-12 year olds told the parents there was a naked man in the locker room while they were going in and out of the bathroom. Jim C is fine with that. I am not. The gym owner offered 2 choices to the trans. Hr can have a orivate bathroom or he can use the menss locker room. The gym was then visited thr next week by the ACLU local, where he was given some documentation. Thr gym defeated them, by having a large disclaimer at the desk stating, You have to use the bathroom according to the sex on your driver's license. That was about 7or 8 years ago. I believe Jim did say gay people in the bathroom, but i believe he means transsexuals. Please feel free to opine. I dont think it is an unsult to disagree with his or my viewpoint. I also disagree with his assertion that people do not care about that situation. I work around children and parents. They are concerned if you confront them with the question or opportunity.

I'm an wrestling fan from years back who quit when WWE went PG. I respect that people like it but for myself if I'm going to buy what's going on I need a certain level of 'violence' because PG fights don't really happen IRL. A few weeks ago I'm just messing around on the internet and see a new wrestling show so I check it out. Collision was exactly the style that I found engaging so naturally I try dynamite too and found the gimmicky part is alive and well too.
