The girlfriend tonight after NXT “Are we ever going to watch that other one?”
So I guess I’m watching at least one episode of this tomorrow.

Don't understand why Ricky wins two separate matches but they're combining the ring and title in one match. Giving him the ring would have been an easy way to build him up without giving him the title.
Also, it's discrimination. Win two matches, only get one title shot? Nah. Ricky should sue.

A small part of me is wondering if they might pull a swerve with Starks winning, between the pointlessness of tying the ring to the match and how much they've been hammering the, "MJF's going to be champion forever!" thing, just to have MJF win the title back soon after but with the ring as kind of a lasting reminder of Starks reaching the top of the mountain, but that'd be, like, interesting so I feel like it's substantially more likely MJF just wins and the ring gimmick continues to be profoundly useless.

That thought has crossed my mind. That would be interesting and help AEW do one thing they struggle with in my opinion, being unpredictable. But that won't happen.

I don't see MJF losing, hell a lot of people here have said he shouldn't lose, but if Ricky won I certainly wouldn't complain about it Just seems like MJF has too many possible feuds as champion for this to be a time for AEW to get "Unpredictable". Danielson and Kingston's feuds feel like they write themselves I am with you though that I feel like this reign might be shorter than expected. And for a young, pompous kid who has cut ties with all of his cronies and allies (At this moment) that's probably how it should be.

I don't think now really is the time for that to happen. I think AEW's been a bit more looser with some match results, heck Final Battle had some surprise wins in some peoples minds. I think there's money in MJF setting himself up for a big fall because he's so sure of himself, if it's tonight I certainly wouldn't complain, but MJF as champion feels like it could very well be a draw for a bit, not sure you wanna cut that off immediately or not.

I'm going to watch, but I'm not as pumped as usual for a Winter Is Coming. These special editions of Dynamite feel like a bigger deal when they announce the full card ahead like its a ppv or Clash Of The Champions type thing. Hell, they used to announce the full card of every Dynamite ahead of time. It helped get me excited.

I dunno what it is, but feels like to me that they're setting up for a huge talking point tonight. They didn't try to superstack the show (which I'm also cool with as the Trios match and world title match deserve time to breathe), so something feels like it's gonna happen

Giving him the ring would have been an easy way to build him up without giving him the title. Also, it's discrimination. Win two matches, only get one title shot? Nah. Ricky should sue. In kayfabe, it was his choice. And I get the booking logic of two matches so he can get something out of it. But at the same time, he's babyface who thinks they're going to win so it makes sense that he would just take it all at once.

I feel Starks/MJF is going to be a continuous long term program, so, not overtly bummed bout dude losing. I do wish he’d get the ring. And I could see them doing something similar in the vein of Jericho “beating” HHH for the title. But yeah, I’m pretty pumped.

I’m sure that Starks will get protected somehow. MJF will take a cheap DQ or there will be interference that costs Starks setting him up with a program where he can get some W’s before taking on MJF again. I don’t expect him to win tonight.

Yeah I think they need to do DQ finish. I'm not a fan but it's not a well AEW goes to often.

What I forgot to include ( I totally forgot to make this point in my first post ) I would want this to happen only if MJF gets the title back quickly ( like at the next ppv ). I don't think that scenario would hurt MJF. There is alot more meat on the bone in MJF's title reign. But a surprise loss then gets the title back, I'd be ok with that.

Daniel Bryan coming back to f***ing kick MJFs head in after what he did to Regal and costing Ricky the match would be one way of doing that.

Ah yes…Winter is Coming…in Garland Texas. Famous for their winters. The only thing that’s ice cold about this show is the announced lineup.

This best of 7 series is brutal for me. The matches are great but there’s really going to be no drama until match 6 or 7. I think they should have made it a best of 5 if they had to have a series.

I agree for the most part. I think they did this to help build up the trios title but also give the title to the Elite in the Bucks backyard
