@ArnoldBooker@wrestling Yeah. Not quite sure what went wrong there to lead to that. It seems it was mostly Madison Rayne controlling her own momentum. Not sure if she was expecting something else or just didn't know how to take the move or what.
Prior to this match, Madison Rayne hadn't wrestled a match for 6 months (Aug 2023). She definitely looked pretty rusty in the ring.
Thoughts on #AEWDynamite - A meh show with some low points.
FTR vs. BCC was a decent match and a nice build to Revolution. Time limit draws are becoming a little too common and predictable though.
Cassidy vs. Bennett... Jeez. Undisputed Kingdom has been stone cold since the devil reveal and Bennett's loss to Cassidy cements it. Stick a fork in it; it's done. All the devil hype for nothing, mostly because the main protagonist was injured.
Garcia/Christian announced for Revolution. Garcia cut a decent babyface promo. Christian's promo about Garcia's mom and dad was truly brutal. I love Christian's work. Loved his heel work in TNA and I'm glad he's found that same form in his AEW run.
The women's matches were brutal and didn't make Purrazzo or Storm look good. Purrazzo dropping Madison Rayne straight on her head looked really bad and I'd be shocked if she wasn't injured.
Darby/Sting promo was decent. Apparently some things were changed as Sting's father legitimately died, which he brought up in the promo.
Love Sting, but I just don't care about the Bucks. Feels very forced and I personally find the Bucks cringe.
Wardlow's in-ring promo was pretty rambly. Came out to whine about his booking(?) Went on to reference CM Punk. They really like referencing the stop starts from the other company in AEW, huh?
Ospreay vs. Takshita is something I'm actually interested in at Revolution. Should be a great match. Really like Ospreay.
The main event was a tag-team soup for some reason throwing Swerve onto same team as Joe in that whole "can they co-exist" thing that WWE likes to do. Whatever.
Seemed Hangman Page may have received an ankle injury during the match though that may alter plans for Revolution.
Man, I just love #DnD. Tonight out characters are participating in 1v1 duels for a tournament. Instead of normal combat, we take turns describing the action we take and the DM judges us by our creativity, reasonableness, and contested dice rolls.
My character is a grappler and mostly sticks to hand-to-hand combat.
You know what that means?

They just can't miss right now, can they? Absolutely huge opening match between Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre that went about 15 minutes bell-to-bell. It was an absolute banger.
This is the most into #WWE I've been since the early 2000s.
I'm inclined to agree. I remember when Paige/Saraya was touted as being a draw. Unless the booking improves, Mone will be exactly where Saraya is in a month or less.
