AEW Dynamite October 23rd, 2024: LADDER WAR!!

[Chris]

And as far as meaningless stats go in wrestling, they read off Mark's ladder war ones yesterday and now his record is worse for no good reason in the match he made famous

whyyyyyy

 

[Chris]

As much as I hated the finish itself too, Jericho being literally carried at least doesn't drive him any narrative that Mark isn't good enough as a singles wrestler which they could have also fucked up and done but that's a small solace lol

 

[Chris]

Wasn't a very honorable way to win the ROH title tho what happened to being a mark for legacy TK

 

[Big Jean Studd]

lol ya it was a cowardly heel win as it gets, def doesn't hurt mark other than he is dumb for accepting and not having a plan. rocky only ? also the ishii stuff made no sense to do there

 

[Big Jean Studd]

at the very least let jericho soak in the heat

 

[Big Jean Studd]

shit finish and post tbhhhh

 

[Chris]

Yeah you know it's bad when a surprise Ishii appearance made me groan

 

[Big Jean Studd]

yeah I just shrugged. like ok who cares. if they put the roh title on ishii id pop but id still say its a dumb way to do it

 

[Big Jean Studd]

also its obviously not happening lol

 

[Big Jean Studd]

it is interesting Jamie is doing side quests as well but so long as she gets back to the top soonish I am not gonna complain about 3 or 4 active women's storylines

 

[Rosie]

I expect Jericho to drop the ROH title back to Mark or to someone else at Final Battle.

 

[Rosie]

I get why, in the end, try to "put over someone else" in the end, and a heel needs some wins to make that win mean something. But I think it is just a law of diminishing returns with Jericho at this point.

 

[Rosie]

I can criticize Jericho on multiple things (Allowing crackpot conspiracy theorists on his Podcast, his wife's Jan 6 involvement, him needing to GO AWAY FOR A WHILE) but I get the methods to his madness. Just at this point, please, time away.

 

[Rosie]

When you drop the belt, have a match where if he loses, he needs to "Leave" for like 6 months. Take some time to tour with his band, focus on maintaining his fitness since when you're at his age, it is challenging to do it week in and week out, maybe let Bill and Keith keep the Learning Tree gimmick, just do it their way for a bit. Then when he's ready to come back, get a gameplan to keep him Fresh and not wear out his welcome
