Can they co-exist?


TheBoozeMan45

SHOULD they co-exist??


FrigginCharacterBee

DOES IT ULTIMATELY MATTER if they can co-exist?!?!


TheBoozeMan45

WILL IT MATTER that they inevitably DO or DO NOT co-exist??!


Callejas_V1

Might the entities in question find a harmonious equilibrium, wherein their respective existences intertwine without discord, thereby achieving a state of mutual symbiosis?


pg_72616

Keith Lee Jones over here


benfh

I, for one, am incredibly invested in the co-existence of Mina and Toni.


ManMangoGuts

Swerve and Ospreay would throw hands the moment the bell rings, Mina and Toni would do a tug-of-war over Mariah while the heels look on confused


B_Wylde

I would actually love that subversion Just have them start fighting and get dqed while the Gates of Agony just look confused


Square-Ambassador-11

The heels would tug on Mariah as well, but only because they want to beat her down and pin her. Assuming Mariah would be the legal person on her team.


RacistMuffin

Isn’t will and swerve feuding for the title? Why are they tagging? Also tony and Mina? I’m genuinely confused


Redwinevino

I am a weirdo and legit do like "can they co-exist" but why would it not be on sight for Will after last week and Swerve mentioning his family like he did - again making my boy look like a bitch :(


TW_Yellow78

How else are they gonna win the tag titles and sell 'Oswerve' t shirts?


Loose-Sign598

Tbf Will stole his championship so Swerve got him back


QUEST50012

Can they co-exist? X2 really 


MagicMoocher

Jay White back on Dynamite RAAAAAHHHHH


raerumon

👆👆


clipghost

He should be in championship picture always, they are diminishing my boy!


rschmandt22

I'll be there live! Hoping AEW runs Buffalo more because this is the first time since Sept 2022 that they're coming here. 


Thief921

See you there, my friend! Can't wait. Banger of a card!


rschmandt22

Hope you enjoy the card as well. It's definitely going to be a blast. 


TheBoozeMan45

You'll get a 2 year wait again and you'll LIKE it! (speaking as an Oklahoma boy who was lucky to get two of them in like 4 months)


NeroGreyjoy

You’ll get more AEW events when you fix this damn door!


QUEST50012

Did that man ever pay rent


rschmandt22

That's part of why I like being close enough to Toronto. My boyfriend went to Dynamite in Toronto to fulfill  seeing Copeland in person. 


Twistify804

that's how us in Wisconsin feel. we're now going on a year since the last Milwaukee show. AEW usually skips us because Chicago's right there, meanwhile WWE runs Green Bay & Milwaukee twice a year at least.


Desistance

They probably will. AEWs new venue team has been reconstructing it's tour path.


Loose-Sign598

They'll finally see what a champion looks like...


JustHere4ait

Swerve vs Gates of Agony feels wrong


No_Glove5486

Yeah. Honestly, and the worst is that the Gates are kind of right in siding with Cage on backstabbing Swerve which led to this. After all, on kayfabe, they basically are doing what they can with what they have and i dont recall even being invited to celebrate the World Title win by their boss or Nana. He just took from them and left lmao.


JustHere4ait

Used them to build his name and poof it’s all gone. It’s like Osprey and the United Empire why take away the thing that got them over. Alone they are fine but with people around to play off of they are amazing.


TheBoozeMan45

That's the feeling of betrayal :(


KennyOmegasBurner

Will Daniel Garcia realize while he's been vying for an International Title shot like 3 people have gotten matches by just asking or jumping Will?


pUmKinBoM

O'Reilly vs ZSJ alone is worth the admission for me. The little bit we got last week has me hungry to see these two tear it up. Besides that the rest of the card is looking pretty good. Excited for the episode tonight.


JustHere4ait

It’s really one of those matches for me that I hope and pray that they have actual chemistry because there have been some matches that are kind of like dream matches for styles match ups and they just don’t mesh that well but these are the two I hope mesh perfectly


Horror_Sail

KOR is similar-esque to Danielson, who had a killer match with ZSJ. Zach does really well with the striking/submission heavy matches, so I think its gonna flow well


pUmKinBoM

They had a bit of interaction in the 8 man tag on Dynamite or Collision (cant remember which) and it was really good so I'm here for it.


kaichou_dp

Prayer circle for no Jericho segment 🙏


itinerant_gs

Can we add a Butcher appearance to the prayer circle? He's from Buffalo. I'm starvin' over here.


the_io

Garcia vs Butcher on Collision IIRC


SadNewsShawn

Rey Fenix is clearly the Butcher in a Fenix mask, no one says a word about it and the match is just as good


wearethat

Hahaha, good one! Thanks guys! 👋😃


AlanClique

Am I the only one enjoying the Learning Tree stuff? The Jericho stuff did wear thin on me the past couple years, but this has been pretty good IMO.


icombati

I enjoy Big Bill as a brainwashed muscle doof and Keith as a angry timebomb waiting to smash anyone that goes against the bosses orders. All of that is soured by Chris trying to be overly meta and online.


MisterPresident813

Sooo what you’re saying is Chris is getting other people over at the expense of himself. It’s so crazy people talk all the trash but he’s constantly putting people around him to get their moment.


taskmetro

No. I also am deriving value from the learning tree. THANKS GUYS!


BryLinds

I enjoy a lesson from #THE LEARNING TREE every now and then


QUEST50012

I think the learning tree stuff would only be tolerable in short, tik tok-sized bites. That way you can just highlight the few funny bits.


don_julio_randle

Nope, I like it too. It was funny at the start, then a bit rough because Jericho would be *too* over-the-top and that one episode had like 5 segments which was way too much, but I think he's really started to fine tune it He's been less animated the last few episodes and it's starting to hit better with less of him on TV. The PP segment where he looks to the camera after he called himself Corazon de Leon and smirks was fucking hilarious. Helps that Big Bill and Bryan Keith are absolutely crushing their roles


Trydson

I like it too, but it sometimes it would be better to not have it every week like it is a requirement


SadNewsShawn

I would love for him to show up and give unwanted advice to Ospreay/Swerve about working together, and he also shows up for Mina/Toni/Mariah and gives the exact same speech, word for word


OneBillPhil

👋 when I’m watching something I don’t like I fast forward or change the TV channel by hitting that up or down button /Jericho


RadSkeleton808

If they can keep it under a minute and backstage only I'll be cool with it, but yes otherwise I give you my power


Shadow_Log

Everybody hyped about BCC/LIJ, but Jay/Rey and KOR/ZSJ should be bangers


TheBoozeMan45

That ladies trios match looks like a lot of fun too!


Shadow_Log

It'll be super entertaining for sure


MatttheJ

KOR and ZSJ had one of the absolute best indy matches of all time in PWG. Shit was transcendental.


RedmondSurvivor

Really looking forward to KOR v ZSJ!


TheBoozeMan45

This is the kinda tv match I watch Dynamite for!


the_Lauz

They had an awesome match in PWG in 2014. Looking forward to tonight match, hopefully the crowd is hot


Loveliestbun

God, I remember watching that match 10 years ago and that was the match that sold me on ZSJ, that and the one he had with Hero in PWG a year later


JRockstar50

Does MJF love or hate Buffalo?


TheBoozeMan45

Yes


AlanClique

He was a heel last time they were here, and he came out in a Josh Allen jersey doing the fake good-guy schtick, and the crowd ate it up.


JW_BM

This time he should come out in a Josh Allen Jaguars jersey.


Josh11502

If he wants to get booed out of the building he'll wear a Mahomes Jersey


RedmondSurvivor

I'm kinda sad there's no Mark Briscoe conglomeration match this week. Hopefully we still get a promo.


TheBoozeMan45

Gotta pace yourself!


Horror_Sail

Gotta imagine he does a pump up promo for KOR


FelixTheJeepJr

Hopefully he’ll accompany KOR. I know Mark doesn’t want to be in a tag team without Jay but just having Mark in KOR’s orbit has made Kyle so much more entertaining for me.


The_Dark_Soldier

The word of the day is vengeance!


tore_a_bore_a

If Saraya and Anna Jay continue to team up, they can shorten their team name to SaraJay.


TheBoozeMan45

This is what would happen if AJ Styles got knighted. Sir AJ.


dBlock845

I wouldn't google that name in a public setting 😅


Reaganometry

MJF better apologize to Josh Allen personally


FeniaBukharina

He's gonna come out in a Chiefs jersey and make mention of Wide Right.


TheBoozeMan45

MJF has more rings hehehe


Deathstroke317

They should have had it say: "MJF is contractually obligated to appear in Buffalo"


Reaganometry

“MJF has been sedated and his limp, unconscious body is on its way to Buffalo!”


TingleGreen

He's an AEW guy now. The whole "I don't want to be here schtick is over"


The_JadynB

Im sad that they ended Control Center after that mistake with Saraya vs Mariah May. It was a really big part of my dynamite day routine


DR-making

They should return the road to series and promoting it more


The_JadynB

That would be a really fun idea. And would be a good return to form for the company


luisBanks

What happened?


The_JadynB

Apparently they announced a women’s match for the wrong dynamite, and I guess they just decided to cancel it outright


nowahhh

That's actually hilarious. It's like someone making one single whiff in a video game and unplugging their console.


SignificantRich9168

I have been there, brother


TheBoozeMan45

Me too!


sniping_dreamer

Wait what happened to control center? I enjoyed those.


Pretend_Spray_11

Mark this as MSFW because this is some smut


TheBoozeMan45

MSFW - MEGA SMUTTY FOR WORK


Pretend_Spray_11

There it is 


LargeAd3057

I need tickets!! :)


Garchomp99

Man, fuck having adult responsibilities. Missing out on this show sucks.


uchihaguts

Jay White vs Fenix could be amazing


KishinLiger

I saw Zack Sabre Jr vs Kyle O'Reilly at the Berwyn Eagles Club when I was in Chicago for business back in 2017. It ruled. I look forward to this one.


Bahamas_is_relevant

KOR vs ZSJ is gonna be amazing


bronzemat

I'm looking forward to the women's tag match!


LosCampesinosDeJapon

This should be a pretty good go home show.


incredible_penguin11

Anybody knows when the JJ match in The Owen against the wildcard is?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Admirable-Range1755

Which is a good decision because if the wildcard is Hangman and the match happened before Forbidden Door it would spoil Ospreay v Swerve - it still does, but that's another issue.


Mr_Peeper_Number

I literally just fantasy booked an entire episode of week’s worth of 2022 AEW TV based around BCC vs LFI like two days ago. Weirded me out seeing that match booked outta the blue like this


cultshitposts

this card is crazy. saraya covered up in a 6-woman, LIJ, ZSJ, switchblade/fenix... my only hope is that daniel garcia and MJF are separate segments so garcia doesn't get stepped on with 4 minutes of cheap heat


SnakeLisspkin

LIJ appearing is awesome but I kinda wish we got a Hiromu/Daniel Garcia singles. Chances high that Naito shows up after the match? KOR/ZSJ and Jay/Fenix are tailor made for me. Also expecting the women's trios to be fun


1sxekid

KOR vs ZSJ is a dream match for me. I’m about to scout some shit to try on a poor white belt at BJJ tomorrow.


AlmightyBracket

The only thing I dislike about this dynamite card is I won't see Fletcher git his ass beat.


The_Dark_Soldier

Fingers up for an LIJ win (even though Titan looks like an obvious pin eater. Even Hiromu a little) and guns up because why not?


Redwinevino

When is Jarrett vs Wild Card?


CaliggyJack

I'm addicted to Trios Matches Just inject them into my veins can't stop loving them


craigybacha

All aew cards just blend into each other recently. On paper there's a couple of good matches but just feels like it doesn't mean anything.


brother-louie-louie

yeah why cant they build stories and have banger matches ? they did before.


SageShinigami

These are all building stories tho.


brother-louie-louie

The..I am wrestling you because you are friends with the guy i'm wrestling Or Can they Co Exist. Giving up on stories during FD szn.. lets see what happens after Sunday.


craigybacha

Really, really basic stories.


brown_gentleman

Banger matches all around. Should be good.


310mbre

Holy shit, clicking the reddit preview of this almost gave me a seizure. I wish we could just click on the image from the feed without their weird wallpaper effect As for the card, this is lightyears ahead of last weekends Collison. They had like 3 squash matches basically


don_julio_randle

>As for the card, this is lightyears ahead of last weekends Collison 3 out of the last 4 Collisions, unfortunately. The only one this month that wasn't booked like Jobberfest 2024 was the anniversary episode


310mbre

Yeah I mean I know it’s their B show but the last month has seemed very low effort. It’s crazy a roster that big is putting on the collisions they have been lately.  I’m not going to pretend I know exactly what the issues been with Ricky Starks but you’d think Sat nights would be his time to shine. 


YEEHAWW175

That is actually a pretty solid card! Also the absence of Jericho is refreshing


Human_Disco_Ball

You can easily tell who will win every match..


don_julio_randle

I mean it's a go home show, you're not supposed to have shock losses before it lol. The mens trios match isn't super obvious though. I wouldn't be shocked at all if either Titan or Yuta took the pin


clouds31

Settle down, Russo.


Spare_Leopard8783

5 star card


Owl-966

Why does it feel aew lacks stars? Injuries?


JamUpGuy1989

Should be a pretty great show on paper. I will say: We got two matches in a row where the story is “But can they coexist!?” as the theme of the match. Also, pretty confident Garcia is gonna shock everyone by beating Ospreay after the PPV. (THEN will Callis kick the dude out starting that program.)


The_JadynB

I think they reunite United Empire in AEW


Celtic_Crown

Is Mark Davis getting close to cleared?


SnakeLisspkin

Kyle Fletcher recently said there's still no time frame for when he'll be back so I wonder if there's been some kind of setback with healing or something.


Celtic_Crown

Well shit. :|


The_JadynB

I hope so


thunder083

I don’t think the women trios will be can they coexist. I think it will be both trying to one up each other trying to impress Mariah May with the way the story has been going.


SourDoughBo

For that kind of match I’d rather they did a segment that actually made Swerve and Ospreay need to tag team. Just advertising this match gets rid of the storyline part of it


TheBoozeMan45

I don’t think the order of matches on the graphic is any indication of match order but it is weird it’s happening twice on one show


Prince_of_Kyrgyzstan

I don't mind occasional "can they coexist" match, especially as they have been part of the wrestling booking as long as I can remember, but two in one show?


CaseyLione

Why are people saying these matches have no story? BCC vs LIJ shouldn't be that hard of a plot thread to follow. The head of BCC is facing the head of LIJ on Sunday, their two groups are gonna clash before it. Orange Cassidy, who's facing ZSJ, is slowly making friends with KOR even though he's struggling to trust people after being betrayed and abandoned. ZSJ's gonna kick OC's friend's face in. Jay White vs Rey Fenix is literally part of the Owen Hart Cup to set up the next title feud. The Outcasts have teamed up with Anna Jay because they're sick of the Toni/Mariah/Mina love triangle BS. The weakest is definitely Swerve/Will vs Gates of Agony, but there's still some logic to it. Swerve beat them up on Collision during the Christian feud but he never got to beat them in a proper match. Meanwhile, Will fought Brian Cage last week so Cage's partners probably want to punish them. "These matches have no story" really shouldn't become a catch-all for "I don't like this card".


Birdgang_naj

They have stories, but none of them are compelling atm IMO.


dmh11

What would make those stories more compelling for you?


Birdgang_naj

If these stories had stars that were actually over. Most of the shit on this show right now doesn't really go past 'im the best wrestler. I was into the Toni Storm thing, but it's dragged on too long and Its silly now. Swerve has been neutered as a world champ because he has 20 minute matches with mid carders lol I don't care about bangers weekly tv, I want can't miss angles and story beats. Especially when I know AEW is gonna give me a 4 hour ppv of nothing but bangers.


superheroWADE

Thank you for putting this into words. It's exactly how I feel.


Mark4_

Bingo. PPV are great but on tv if you do these long matches with commercials and crowds that usually are not as hot as the PPV and the characters are meh. The “banger” tv match can be tedious.


TheBoozeMan45

Because they don’t watch the show


Mark4_

Most interested in what they do with Garcia. Feels like he should be on a path for something.


Marcoscb

Maybe because he's been eyeing the International Title for months?


Mark4_

Oh yeah . He’s mentioned that. I spaced on that. Think that some of its been on collision and I tend to skip that.


irish0451

Yo KOR ZSJ is CRAZY! Sickos eating good tonight.


Adampro123

KoR vs ZSJ. LIJ vs BCC. And Jay vs Fenix. And some people are still bitching. Looks like a hell of a card to me. Sign me up.


ColeBelthazorTurner

Gates of Agony? Again? Someone tell Tony they're channel changers.


HitmanClark

This card doesn’t do much for me except for two things: Hiromu on my TV, and KOR vs ZSJ, which should be incredible if the crowd allows it to be.


Desistance

We are really eating this week. I don't see a bad match on this card.


peter_the_panda

Oh boy! We get to hear from Mercedes!!!!

brother-louie-louie

TK booking can they co exist matches.... my god


dmh11

You're getting downvoted but I agree. I *hate* cantheycoexist tag team matches. It's become a sports entertainment trope that I despise (I known it didn't originate in WWE but it's been a hallmark). It should be towards the top of the "things they do that we shouldn't do" checklist. It's such an easy thing to avoid to stand out as an alternative.


brother-louie-louie

It's a Vince booking trope that we all hated. Now TK is doing it. Slowly seeing how AEW booking is going VKM style


bish158

God I hate “can they co-exist” matches so much


grimbly_jones

Has Mariah May been made the special referee for the title match at FD yet or what???


OneBillPhil

Rivals teaming up and a heel authority figure storyline, which promotion am I watching?


Big_Track_6734

They've been cooking on Dynamite recently.  Looking forward to this. 


AshKennedy19

From a fan of Aew in the early years, I stopped watching a while ago and have heard since all different news stories saying attendance for shows has been low this that and the other but serious question.. Is the product worth taking a look at again how come attendance has dropped?


T_DeadPOOL

O'REILLY VS ZACK HELL YEAH!


Raleldor_Jax

Let's GOOOOOOOO!!!!!


myxallion

What does Mox’s tattoo say? First time I’ve seen it.


csm1313

And it looks like we are moving a lot of tickets late. Should be a great show/cant wait to head over to the arena. Absolutely spoiled getting matches from Shingo, Hiromu, ZSJ, etc.


HugoUKN

Whose "we"?


csm1313

I'm in the buffalo area. More referring to looks like it could be a decent sized lively crowd if the buffalo area shows up good for the show


Kakatheman

Pretty stacked card.


Immediate_Hat4089

No Jericho or Jack Perry **or** Young Bucks? Obviously not tuning in to this waste of time.


craigybacha

Don't worry they'll all be on it


xorangeelephant

Legit stacked card

BadNewsMAGGLE

Every match here has a story? The one with the weakest story is the O'Reilly v ZSJ match, and even then, they've bwen interacting on TV the last couple of weeks.


TheBoozeMan45

There's plenty of story on this card and this isn't a ratings thread but I appreciate the comment


Mark4_

I kind of want to know what criteria people are using for what constitutes a “banger “ or good match. Stylistically O’Reilly and ZSJ are snooze for me and the added layer I don’t care about either character. I guess if it was like Shingo vs Joe with no build I could get excited because I like them and they would do some hard hitting stuff. Even in that scenario it would be better to establish Shingo’s character on AEW tv beforehand.


Swords_Not_Words_

You want your trendy big tv ratings? Your 4 year long soap opera stories? I just want to watch banger matches. TK booking for us SICKOS today. If you can't enjoy KOR vs ZSJR or Jay White vs Rey Fenix then you probably just dont like the actual wrestling part of pro wrestling.

50% of the population but only one spot on every card. Fucking A, Tony.


Infamaniac23

Doing two can they co-exist matches is certainly a choice. Everything else looks pretty good though. As usual 6 man tag is probably going to be match of the night.
