Anyone else getting alarmed at all the WWE style stuff on Dynamite? The opening 20 minute wacky celebration segment, Omega hooking the wrong leg vs. PAC, Page doing the same vs. MJF and allowing Wardlow to put MJF's foot on the rope.
That said, I think Soul Train Jones would be a great toady for the Inner Circle.

The opening I get but the other stuff you mentioned have been in wrestling forever.

That was the first time AEW opened with a promo and segment.
As long as it doesn't become a weekly thing and happens every show it'll be fine. Trent vs Fenix will kick off next week's show most likely.

Yeah, the reason it sucks when WWE does it is they do it so often. I dunno, variety's the spice of life.

I never remember seeing the whole "Wrestler X hooks the wrong leg" crap growing up. It is a cliche that WWE has beaten to death over the past few years to the point where it would happen multiple times a week. Just don't hook a leg at all! What idiot hooks the leg far from the ropes? It's just stupid and guys like Omega should certainly know better since he never, ever did it in NJPW. I think some of AEW's agents like Arn and Malenko were around WWE so long that they are just polluted by these tropes.

I think some of AEW's agents like Arn and Malenko were around WWE so long that they are just polluted by these tropes. I don't think Arn is working for AEW in any official capacity. Where The Elite are all EVP's, I would be willing to bet they have creative control over their matches (brother). The leg thing I just chalk up to nerves, from a Kayfabe standpoint. Omega knew how dangerous PAC is and wanted to end it quickly and got ahead of himself. I get your point, though. It's a spot you reserve for once in a blue moon to build tension and drama, and if you do it too much it has diminishing returns.

Maybe if Kenny spent LESS TIME WANDERING BORED IN SHIBUYA he would win more! Kenny is hoping if he spends enough time there, they'll put him in Judgement 2.

Trent vs Fenix will kick off next week's show most likely. I'd say the 50/50 booking stuff is more concerning. Hangman beats Pac at Full Gear, they do the rematch the very next show where Pac gets his win back. A few weeks later, Pac loses to Omega. Hangman loses to Pac, and now to MJF so whatever momentum he had is now gone. Pac, while having a good record still, doesn't seem as hot anymore. Fenix got a big win last week against one of the Bucks and gets pinned this week by Trent. Shida was getting some good wins and looking like a great next challenger for Rhio and she's on the losing end of a tag match this week. They'll get by with this for now, but if this is the norm, it's not going to keep working out.
