Couple of notes:

I think maybe they are building towards a ladder match with Page and Cole, with Cole stealing the title last night.

I dont know how we are supposed to view Nyla as threat to Thunder Rosa, similar to how Lance Archer has been booked. The women's division still needs some better talent. I really wish they'd sign Tessa

Not sure if Sammy could be a good heal because his in ring style is perfect for a face

Sammy could work heel very easily. Every match he goes to the top and does his crazy taunt. But instead of executing the flip he just casually jumps off the turnbuckle and laughs, waving off the crowd. Any dives or top rope offense would play right into it.

Bobby Hill and Dustin Rhodes are the same person.

Don’t think you’ll be seeing Tessa in any big promotion in the US after how she left Impact and WWE passing on her. Maybe eventually, but not any time soon.

Imagine having Keith Lee on your roster, and never wondering as to whether or not you should just have him throw a bunch of dudes around

It's hard to find a locker room where multiple women don't hate her or don't want to work with her.

If one of them signed her they'd deal with it though. That said, both top companies have seen the onus on themselves to not sign her, at least not yet

With Michigan making the Frozen Four in Boston, I cracked and booked a trip. Dynamite (+Rampage taping) the night before hockey at BU's arena.

I've been to the two other shows AEW ran there, both were really great shows with excellent crowds. The arena is sort of a pain in the ass to get to unless, and the parking garage is extremely tight. Plan ahead. Last time I used SpotHero and reserved someone's parking spot in a nearby apartment complex

I won't have a car, so I was hoping the subway would get me there. Although had more concerns on the way back since the show will probably end around 11pm, worst case I'll grab an Uber back to my hotel. Thanks for the heads up though. At first glance, BU's campus seems a bit closer to downtown Boston than BC. I saw a hockey game at BC and that was an expensive Uber ride to/from.

Had to do some mental gymnastics to justify getting an extra night of hotel just for AEW. Originally thought I could catch one of the California shows but both got bought up by scalpers.

Yeah there are 2 stops close by to the arena, but I went to a ROH show around here once and the crowds to hop a train were insane. I ended up walking a couple miles downtown to get a different train because it was faster than waiting for the crowds to dissipate.

Trains run until around midnight, but the show is likely to end closer to midnight from what I recall. Where are you staying if you dont mind me asking?

Haven't booked a hotel yet, but I was looking at one in the Chinatown area last night. Depending on the Rampage main event, I suppose I would consider leaving a bit early to beat the crowd.

just realized you probably won't have a car. So yeah you'd be fine in that area. Keep in mind both BU and TD Garden are on the green line of the subway, so if you're looking to minimize confusion and having to transfer you'll wanna be close to a green line stop. Chinatown/Downtown Crossing would be a nice central spot for you. For a day time lunch spot in that area I highly recommend Sam Legrassas.

This Dynamite didn’t do it for me. If that’s the type of show I get next week I’ll be disappointed.

Oh and I forgot to mention, I think Thunder Rosa's promo was atrocious.

It was awful. Something about Thunder Rosa is off for me lately. It could just be that previously she was protected and all of a sudden she gets a push and her flaws are a lot harder to hide. The only wrestler on the womens roster that is the total package to me is Serena Deeb. She is amazing. Everyone else is either green as shit or has some kind of fatal flaw. Ruby Soho another good example, debuted with a ton of hype...but she is just kind of...bad.

I think Britt Baker is the total package. Not as good as Deeb in the ring, but she is twice the promo while being more than fine in the ring. She cannot carry a match like Deeb can though.
