Per Wrestletix, AEW Dynamite sold 4400 tickets, so yeah, that was great for a Dynamite, considering that RAW this week had a little under 8K tickets distributed (again, according to Wresletix). John Pollock missed that Rush can not compete in Forbidden Door because of some contractual issue between AAA and CMLL. So Rush got the Dynamite match, and Hechicero (and other CMLL talent) will be at the PPV).
Imagine genuinely thinking that MJF vs Hechicero is a disappointing match 😂😂 the PPV is Forbidden Door. You can't just have AEW boys fighting each other. c'mon fellas
Bryan Danielson vs. Shingo Takagi and Swerve Strickland vs. Will Ospreay are the favourites for the coveted Match Of The Night Bonus at Forbidden Door a week from this Sunday. On another note, you need to invite Blake Murphy from Sportsnet to The Cash-In on July 6th.
I guess as maybe the only full blown (6 shows a week!) CMLL viewer in the Post community I am expected to defend MJF vs Hechicero criticism. I can't though. I get it. It's a weird match for every reason you guys said & more. Am I mad it's happening? No. But I understand the letdown. If I had to try to figure out Tony's rationale perhaps he looks at FD as a place to do matches you can't see elsewhere. Who else would ever book MJF vs Hechicero? Nobody. Where as if you did ZSJ vs Hechicero... that's happening this Saturday in Mexico City. It could happen in San Jose too next month for NJPW. Same with ZSJ vs Orange. Orange isn't doing indies so it can't happen there. He also seems to have little interest & vice versa in NJPW. So where can you see it? FD. Again, just speculating here. I like Mariah May. I also like Mariah May for the Owen Hart Cup because it would tie together the story of Toni being the one to enter her in the tournament and oopsie her best friend wins & now can take her title away. But if Mariah can't get past Saraya I can totally see a scenario where Saraya wins the entire thing. 'Martin-eh-tay' phonetically. Jericho butchered it.
Yeah so on fire they only drew over 500,000 viewers for this show 😂 That means they were crushed by NXT. The NBA Playoffs are over so can’t use that excuse no more either. John and Wai are out of touch like Meltzer.
MJF facing CMLL talent Hechicero at FD probably may not have been the original plan but due to politics a bigger CMLL talent was not possible I guess. MJF could have faced a NJPW talent, for example Ishii. However Hechicero is a rudo/heel for babyface MJF to overcome and his alliance with the Elite's hired mercenaries Cage Of Agony, helps implement a path for MJF to be involved in Blood and Guts against The Elite.
@1:07:01 Hilarious idea for casting Rhett Titus as a character that’s down on his luck. Because he was champion in ROH, they could even design a video package about his fall from glory. I really think it’s an idea that AEW should consider.
'B!tch crutch' as a finisher got me 😂
Really not disappointed in MJF vs Hechichero. Really looking forward to it. It means Elite gunning for MJF which likely leads to MJF vs Okada!
Rey Fenix vs Jeff Jarrett has totally happened on AEW TV, for the International Title in September last year, it was great
Greatest thumbnail ever.

I don’t really mind it, I wanted some wild match ups which is exciting for forbidden door, I don’t want every single match to have a long story.

Wai no selling John's jokes is the best part of this show. Thank you guys!
I've mastered laughing on the inside. Thanks for listening! -W

I wouldn't be shocked to see MJF vs. Hechicero open the Main Card at Forbidden Door.
If this was All Out and not Forbidden Door, i would have a problem with the MJF match.
Love the show guys!!
AEW feels on fire right now, excited for the Wales dates for the All In go home.

I think its Moxley. They just can’t announce until he loses NJPW title.
Post wrestling has the best intros !!
We do! We’re very lucky.

Glad we're not the only ones who like this idea!
Did you see that the policei officer who arrested Justin Timberlake was too young to have ever herad of him?
Swerve has the worst podcast. Such a poser. Very lame person.
