AEW All Elite Wrestling #9: Mox Aggressor Brings the Blood

[TD Charlie]

You're kinda alluding to it, but I seriously doubt he was a "Shadow agent" as much as he didn't want to win the AEW title because of some misguided belief that it'd one day tarnish him eventually winning the WWE title, which was obviously his ultimate goal.

Or he just really didn't want to give off the vibe of the EVP who booked himself as champion.

Also just in AEW alone I'd argue MJF has more instinct for the business than Cody. I'd say Dom, but he sucked donkey balls as a babyface. Which is crazy because he's an incredible heel despite his Dad not being a heel in over 25 years. (And it was short-lived and bad)

Hell, I'd argue Orton over Cody, too. Randy's promos just took awhile to come along because he was a moody dick.

I never considered this, but it makes a lot of sense

I figured he just didn't care to book himself as AEW champion because he didn't need it, and the company didn't need him as champion. Regardless, it was really f***in stupid to make that stipulation at the time...unless of course he had a foot out the door already

Shelton Benjamin is the best in the world and he has been the best in the world for 20 years and im tired of people pretending he’s not

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Terrific crowd tonight.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Fletcher v Benjamin rocked.

Hook sucks.

Agreed. Dudes great

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Hurt syndicate as a whole are fantastic. Never thought I'd be so thrilled for these three in AEW

 

[Fro]

Finally the opposition is formidable vs DR...

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

I’d like see a 4-way or more for the big title. 1v1 is a little stale for me. 6 of 7 on PPV this year have been singles.

It’s strange how Mina Shirakawa is basically two different characters in Stardom and AEW.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Mariah May is a gem and her belt might be the legit best looking belt in wrestling.

I wish King would come out with the corpse paint again one of these days.

I hadn't heard of her until she showed up in AEW, is she a legit wrestler in Stardom?

 

[CDJ]

Listen im not an OC fan but having him get mugged in the corner by Marina Shafir????? What the f***!

Yeah. I'm the ultimate AEW mark there is....this shit needs to stop. It's beyond ridiculous. Either let the men rag doll her (not a fan and hate that option), get another female talent to oppose, or just stop it. As wrestling fans we have to blur the lines of reality and accept some things that are absurd. But this is beyond the pale and stupid.. stop it.

I’m losing my mind just make her #1 contender at this point if she’s gonna mug the guy who just fought for the belt lmao

And they've let this go on for weeks now.... so dumb

Yeah, she’s legit. She isn’t a top person there, but not the charcature she’s steadily moved towards in AEW

 

[CDJ]

They had Willow come out during one of the brawls, hopefully they get her more involved because if I see Marina go 50/50 or better with a top baby face again I will become the joker

 

[Unholy Diver]

Maybe this is all building to a big feud between Moxley and his band of idiots and a returning Dan Lambert and America's Top Team, Shafir vs Paige VanZant? Now that would be some long term storytelling

For a short time there, Dan Lambert was a killer on the mic

Chyna used to do this back in the day and it made her a bad ass.However, back then the forums and newsgroups (yes, I'm dating myself) had the same criticism.

Chyna was like 5’11 190 lbs and JACKED tho, she was a freak of nature

Marina is 5’7 145 and a really bad mma fighter

 

[Emperoreddy]

Rhea is maybe the one modern example of someone who can get away legitimately jacking up the men and it not being a comedy spot and even she gets criticism for it about men not being able to hit back.

It's really really hard for people to take it seriously and it requires a really super jacked women to pull it off that is also really over.

And they absolutely can't be mugging some of your top talent. It's got to be someone lower down the card or who regularly eats pins.

Terrific episode of Dynamite. All the matches banged (Anna Jay vs. Penelope won't get the credit it deserves) and I loved the world title brawl. I think the "quiet crowd" criticism has been overblown but this crowd was terrific.
