Well, it was hard not to take the start of AEW Dynamite last night personally, because Rodney Beckett was trying to talk to MGF about the fact he may be about to put his hair on the line against Derby Allen for the world title. When MGF went for a walk and he passed every single ball person on the AEW roster and he looked very upset, he looked very perturbed when ricochet said, don't worry, you won't look as good as me,

0:21.0

but you're going to make a great ball.

0:22.3

That was very funny, and always know there's nothing wrong with being bald. Sometimes by the nature will come by and knock on your door and steal your hair, but I genuinely like the fact that AEW is leading into this. Some people are all like, oh man, it's not a big stipulation, and you just know if that person was put in a scenario where they could lose their locks,

0:37.9

they'd be like, no, no, I don't want to do it.

0:40.6

So it's good.

0:41.4

And it was... and you just know if that person was put in a scenario where they could lose their locks,

0:37.9

they'd be like, no, no, I don't want to do it. So it's good. And it works. And also, we have leaned into this idea that MGF may have gone to somewhere in Europe to sort his hair line out. I'm a big fan. I'm giving it up just like that. It was amusing. but also once again, yes, it does make me sad

0:54.8

because I'm pretty damn bald.

0:56.5

Also, all my friends, I walk into ups and downs, the only wrestling of you show you need with I, Simon Miller the bald idiot, and we are going to go through AEW Dynamite, we're going to give the bits and up and the bad bits down. That was kind of gibberish, but basically I say something, you disagree, we do the dance of joy, let's go. We don't know the most absurd match to start AEW, because it was Adam Coburn and Christian Cage, teaming with Orange Cassie and the Young Bucks to take on FTR, Tomasso Champa and the dogs. How do you even explain this? Just go sit down and watch it and maybe have a nice beverage to enjoy it even more. How can anybody be mad that this kind of wrestling is on television? And also, you have Christian Cage and Adam Copeland teaming up with the young bucks. And back in 2018, nobody ever thought that would possibly be possible. And here we are in 2006 and it's happening. Soley Hathaway was fantastic here as well, because he was hiding behind out on the announce table and even trying to bribe people with the watch he had stolen from Christian. And by the time he did join the commentary team, he was breathing so heavily. Taz thought this was so damn funny, because how in the hell did you get blown up? And what did Stokely say? Excuse me, I'm not an athlete. Shumper also went after Christian's arm because of course it is still ganky given what FTR did to it

2:01.1

when eventually Adam Copeland got the hot tag. He totally run wild, but I think the highlight must

2:06.0

have been when Orange Cassidy did his pocket gimmicks to Christian who was like, man, I don't care

2:10.5

about this. He picked up the piece of fruit and he used him as a projectile, so he must have

2:14.8

been watching Sheeter and Christatlan. Of course, at 1.2, Clark

2:17.5

Connors was going to try and spear Adam Copeland, which makes sense, but he hit Dax Hardwood instead. So Adam Copeland was like, that's fine for me. He got the spear, he got the one, two, three, and before that as well. Adam Copeland and the Young Bucks had done a super kick party. I was like, man, isn't it just delightful?

2:33.3

It's like inviting your uncle around and playing Mario Kart.

2:36.8

Don't know what that means, but now I've said it. So this was just absolutely chaotic, sponsored by Dr. Robotnik, and again, I have kind of zoomed through it. I've not given some people here there do, but that's because it was just so damn fun. And of course, it's tying into the big tag team tile match. We will be doing a double or nothing, and the young buck's now going to be in Stadium Stampede.

2:53.3

But come all in, I bet they're fighting for those belts too, maybe with the day that is fresh, as the worst tease I've ever done, but I am giving it an up. It's flubbing brilliant. We then come to the Death Rider's training cam. This made me laugh out loud because I am an idiot, but Will Ospre was there doing neck bridges, and when John Moxie, after giving him some information was like, how do you feel? William was like, man, I felt better than ever, as if nobody had ever taught him to a neck bridge, and I was like, man, that's all we needed to do. And listen, I know it's totally insane that he has decided to join up with the person that did this to him,

3:26.0

but it just kind of works.

3:27.0

It's like watching an anime or reading a manga, because John Moxie that went on about, you remember that time, you were in New Japan's best of the Super Junior's. You didn't have a care in the world and you flew through the sky, Whereas now you're oldie, a little bit wiser, but you understand the weight of the world

3:41.1

can be on your shoulders, but that's why, Will, you need to go back to being a bird, because why does a bird fly? Because a bird can fly. That's like John Moxie. I think you'd probably eat some mushrooms, but somehow this is great. And the point is, just don't hold back now, and apparently, well, Osprey has been cleared because he'd been doing those neck bridges.

3:58.5

But if I was, Will, I would get out of this predicament straight away because as soon as Mox was done, he turned around and he saw Wheeler you are doing something crap. Is that Wheeler, if you're going to do something, you've got to do it? So I do think it's one of those stories we need to see the end point or maybe to see if there's a twist in the tale because they will not be fighting in the Owen. I thought the final was going to be Osprey versus Moxley, but Moxley is not in that tournament,

4:17.6

as you shall see later, but I am going to give it an up. I am not pretending there's not holes in this. I'm difficult to justify. Why will Osprey would want to be against the guy who tried to kill him, But it does work. And in terms of AW trying to tell a different story and sort of going outside the realms of the arena or wrestling ring, yeah, it's working for me. I just have to sort of go back through it when it does finish, but for now it's get it up. In the end of the video package for Stadium Stampede narrated by Chris Jericho. He made a bull joke. I was like, wait a minute, just wait a damn minute. We now have two joke storylines on AW going after the people that don't have any hair. I tell you, if you're a full head, you should be getting worried, because one day you may lose your hair, and then all of a sudden retroactive, he'd be like, oh my gosh, it makes me so sad. Anyway, we basically know the teams now because Kenny Amaga and the Young Bucks and Jack Perry are going to join Chris Jericho and here the dogs and drada and a couple of other people who is it
