There isn't the same experience watching mjf climbing up on top, with jericho taking a pause between every rung on the scaffold, without a proper pop. With more of a crowd and obviously having the finish towards the crowd they did actually have, it would have been much better. It needed that crowd interaction for that finish to work. I did think the match was a success otherwise though. As an aside, omega is bang average with promos. Love watching him wrestle, but his promo work is lacking. I thought the crowd was pretty loud actually for how many were in there, and they were super into the rest of the match. Even if there’d been 50,000 folk there, on that camera angle the finish would’ve still looked dreadful 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 It would've been worse at the bump. Imagine that reaction magnified. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it hard to get too annoyed at a guy in his 50's taking a "soft" bump from that height. It is all about the camera work with that. It's that type of thing that is holding aew back. They have the talent, the TV time etc. They just need to fine tune things like that to make the product more professional, then the sky's the limit for them imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share Posted May 6, 2021 #1 rated show on cable for the first time. Viewership’s lower than they probably would’ve liked but still cracking a million’s not the end of the world. Next week’s show is pretty stacked so see how many stick about for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He says they cracked a million in his post ludo. I've obviously got it wrong. The way I read it was that, 'Viewership's lower, but it's not like they need to crack 1m every week' since being the number 1 rated show is a bigger deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 The finish wasn't great and the bump was daft but watching the Ups and Downs on Whatculture (I know, I know) they did say that after the Matt Hardy bump, they'll obviously be cautious. It just could've been done so much better. The match itself was amazing, Inner Circle as faces are actually more of a threat than as heels and genuinely hope Santana & Ortiz are marked as challengers again. Guevara has so much talent and glad he got past his issues, his suspension has clearly slowed his progression but he still has the potential to be a champion. Finally, stick the belt on Miro, don't see it happening but if he loses next week I struggle to see where they go with him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Fair enough on being cautious. But if you can't do those bumps without looking stupid, the best option is to just not do them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Agree the belt needs to be put on miro next week. Can't see what benefit allin would get from holding it. We all know he can take a bump and still fight. I don't really feel like he's doing enough to make the belt a big deal now because of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share Posted May 6, 2021 Aye, unless there’s major shenanigans - Miro needs to be winning that next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Dynamite going back on the road from July 7th. Just around the same time as quite a lot of 90 day no-competes are finished... It's be interesting to see how long WWE keep doing the Thunderdome shows. They have been very open about how much money they are saving by not touring, but it'll look pretty tinpot if their main competitor is safely running full arenas, while WWE are relying on digital fists and train sound effects. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it's great as entrance music. Kinda sucked the atmosphere away from the moment. Cody's promo was decent. Clearly meant a lot to him. Sad about SCU, hoped they would win via DQ to keep it going a bit longer. The fact that they cut to Moxley/Kingston straight after the match ended suggests we'll likely see them again before the show is up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
