Looks like Konnan was right all along about Dominic. I'm still hoping they do something with this to help get Santos over

Dynamite was pretty good last night. The opening segment was kind of refreshing / well done. I don't think any of them are on MJF's level, but having 3 homegrown guys coming at the homegrown champ was great and gives them a chance to do / say something to move them up a level. The PH and Wardlow feud seems, dare I say, meaningful all of a sudden. And credit where its due. The trios belt started off really bad IMO. Obviously pre-ordained champs getting immediately stripped made it feel like a joke to me. But hot damn, they have turned it around and I am in. The factions work and work well. Heelish BCC is fire. House of Black is legit. And the Elite coming to Page's rescue was well done for wrestling storylines. Even JAS matters a little more with trios belts being there to chase.

Dom is legit great in his role and Rey will probably want to put his son over for tons of heat in probably his final match at WM.

Last night I watched the first half of this episode, at someone else's recommendation. I haven't been keeping up with AEW for a while, but a few recaps helped me get up to speed.
I love everything about MJF, and the verbal exchanges between him and JB/SG/DA were gold. The premise of a "re"-bar mitzvah itself is already interesting, but he put it over the top in a way only he can.
The tag match between Dark Order + Page vs Blackpool Combat Club was pretty good. Glad to see Claudio in AEW, and I always like seeing Mox in action.
I paused right around when the Jade Cargill challenge started, and intend to resume later.
Man, the episode reminds me just why I love pro wrestling shows hosted in Canada. Canadian crowds are something else.

The "Pillars" segment of Dynamite was a perfect example of AEW's long form storytelling.
As soon as Jungle Boy got interrupted by Sammy's music I knew immediately that all four corners were going to fill up.
Gots to love their focus on homegrown younger talent - and storylines going back to the beginning of the company.
The Kenny v Jerico spots in Canada were just all time great wrestling moments. The crowd was bananas.
Quality entertainment.

I'm waiting for Cornette this week. I mean he should flip out on Jarrett losing to Pockets, you know given he actually thought Jarrett wouldn't embarrass himself by losing to the company mascot. (I guess Jim forgot about Jeff losing that good housekeeping match. I think Brian was saying he wouldn't be surprised if Jeff lost.) Of course I'd expect he won't cover this but given how much he loves Rhea Ripley he probably wouldn't react well to her saying a big inspiration for her is the Miz. (For those that don't know Jim hates the Miz. Why I don't know, Miz is a classic chickenshit heel. He's very good at what he does and is pretty much the best good will ambassador the WWE has now. )

Did Miz refuse to fuck Cornette's wife while he was in OVW or something?
So I’m not the only one to think that

Going by Maryse, Miz could clearly do better than Stacey.So I’m not the only one to think that

Haven't heard of it until you shared it, thanks! I didn't even know the Monster Factory was a thing. I'm fascinated with seeing footage from pro wrestling training grounds, though.
