00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,000
Usually we're here on the
Wrestling Receipts podcast,
2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,640
tracking the receipts of the
Judgment Day and the sins of
3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,640
Dirty Dominic Mysterio.
But it's a new era on a year,
4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,000
and I've decided to expand my
jurisdiction.
5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,440
Welcome to a new series on the
channel entitled Dangerously
6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,760
Casual Knowing Enough to Be
Dangerous.
7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,440
Here's the premise.
I'll be reviewing AEW Dynamite
8
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,720
and Collision from the
perspective of someone who was
9
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,000
just getting up to speed.
I'm not an expert yet, but I
10
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,920
know just enough to be
dangerous.
11
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,560
Let's get into it.
First things first, I've noticed
12
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,440
a disturbing trend in this
company.
13
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,680
The sheer amount of casual
murder we have.
14
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,840
Hangman Adam Page, drunk cowboy
arsonist, loves to casually
15
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,080
murder people with chains.
Then we have Stroyer,
16
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,680
Switzerland home invader, also
love to casually murder people,
17
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,240
but he prefers cinder blocks and
does it with style.
18
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,240
And Browning out the homicide
division is Jon Moxley, the
19
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,480
death rider, the champion, a man
who's developed a sudden
20
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,720
Infinity for plastic bags.
Yet another man in AEW who
21
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,000
treats attempted murder like
like cardio.
22
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,480
Then you have Marina Shafir.
She likes choking people out,
23
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,880
knocking people out, and
wrestling barefoot.
24
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,680
A minimalist queen.
At this point, Aew's mission
25
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,800
statement should be what if
everyone was unhinged, but in
26
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,800
slightly different fonts?
Now let's talk about Shelton
27
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,200
Benjamin, the gold standard
sharp dresser.
28
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,160
Hurting people is his business.
He lost a heartbreaker with five
29
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,960
seconds left on the clock, which
feels intentional, not
30
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:32,240
accidental.
Moving on to the aesthetics
31
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,840
division, I have some
grievances, mostly born out of
32
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,640
jealousy.
Jack Perry, jungle boy, the
33
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,400
scapegoat.
It's real glass.
34
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,680
Cry me a river.
I don't care about the glass.
35
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,000
I'm jealous of the hair Andrade
El Ildolo.
36
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,440
OK how you know the first person
to make an AEW debut 3 times
37
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,000
sharp dresser.
Also jealous of the hair Bandido
38
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,320
Arloids champion.
Amazing lucha mask design, great
39
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,480
aesthetic.
And yes I'm jealous of his hair.
40
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,360
Stole MJS ring again.
King behavior.
41
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,960
And then we go to the other end
of the spectrum, ricochet and be
42
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,039
the man.
First off, bald, sick and all
43
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,160
the demand.
What the fuck kind of faction
44
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,240
name is the Demand?
And Speaking of bald, we have
45
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,840
the Don Callas family led by a
bald guy.
46
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,360
How many people does Inspection
actually need?
47
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:22,560
I can't keep track.
It's like a clown car full of
48
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,920
heels.
Now let's talk about the title
49
00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:28,320
picture.
MJF the AEW world champion.
50
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,440
Controversial opinion.
He tries too hard to be a heel
51
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,920
and he had his ring stolen by
Bandido again.
52
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,080
Bandido says thank you.
Maybe MJF should stop leaving it
53
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,960
unattended.
Then we have Willow Nightingale,
54
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,160
full of sunshine, rainbows, and
sparkles.
55
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,480
An expert at talking someone up
right before she tears them
56
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,280
down.
A double champion TBS and tag
57
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,240
team.
She's friends with Chris
58
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,160
Statlander again.
Statdaddy the alien.
59
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,800
Is she still an alien?
I don't know, but she's the
60
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,080
women's World champion.
The universe is healing, but the
61
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,200
real story here is Mercedes
Monet, the CEO, no longer
62
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,920
champion, currently spiraling
into madness.
63
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,600
Her morning outfit was amazing,
but she ate a face full of cake
64
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:14,600
and a powerbomb from Willow.
And finally, we get to the thing
65
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,880
that piqued my interest the
most, The thing I waited all of
66
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,360
dynamite for.
Tony Storm.
67
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:25,760
Timeless, glamorous, ethereal.
Mina Shirakawa, the love bomb.
68
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,840
Tony's lover and Orange Cassidy
freshly squeezed.
69
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,000
My favorite low energy wrestler.
The aura farmer.
70
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,800
Part of the conglomerate which
feels like a tax write off.
71
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,480
The Tony Mina orange triangle
potential situation, ship
72
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,280
potential throughple potential
polycule.
73
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,840
I've weighted all of Dynamite
for their interaction.
74
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,480
I regret nothing.
Luther probably does, though.
75
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,800
That's AEW as understood by
someone who knows just enough to
76
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,240
be dangerous.
I'm still learning things, still
77
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,520
figuring out why factions need
15 members, but I'm watching.
78
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,360
I'm not here to tell you what to
think, I'm here to tell you what
79
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,240
patterns I'm seeing as I catch
up.
80
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,400
Knowing just enough is how you
start seeing what actually
81
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,600
matters.
If you're enjoying my descent
82
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,840
into AEW chaos, let me know in
the comments.
83
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,080
What am I missing?
Fill me in so I can be even more
84
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,000
dangerously casual.
Next week I'll be back for more,
85
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,680
but for now I'm just saying.

someone who knows just enough to
76
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,240
be dangerous.
I'm still learning things, still
77
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,520
figuring out why factions need
15 members, but I'm watching.
78
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,360
I'm not here to tell you what to
think, I'm here to tell you what
79
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,240
patterns I'm seeing as I catch
up.
80
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,400
Knowing just enough is how you
start seeing what actually
81
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,600
matters.
If you're enjoying my descent
82
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,840
into AEW chaos, let me know in
the comments.
83
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,080
What am I missing?
Fill me in so I can be even more
84
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,000
dangerously casual.
Next week I'll be back for more,
85
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,680
but for now I'm just saying.
