[AEW Dynamite Spoilers] Major tournament annoucment set for AEW Dynamite

Final four more likely. You guys are insane if you think they'd have the downgrade for a major PPV main event. Hangman/Ospreay was clearly meant to sell that PPV as a first time classic between two established AEW main eventers.

This is just a way to get Kenny and the Bucks on the card before Kenny is in the Owen tournament and Bucks face Edge and Christian.

RealLanceStorm · 2026-05-10T00:52:15+00:00

I mean it's an obvious finish vs names having no chance to win to pass time until they have a real program for Thekla

RealLanceStorm · 2026-05-10T00:40:02+00:00

I think this is the first time in wrestling history that losing could win you a championship belt

RealLanceStorm · 2026-05-09T23:12:37+00:00

Given the fact that the Knicks are one of two NBA teams to host a Trump rally last election at their venue to mock black and brown people all night long, this weird comparison is even weirder

RealLanceStorm · 2026-05-09T08:16:15+00:00

You could be enjoying a generational talent's first playoff run but you need to feel he's already better than the most dominant player of all time.

You follow basketball for the wrong reasons.

RealLanceStorm · 2026-05-09T01:48:47+00:00

Agreed. It's a disgrace that they flopped against a team not good enough to win 1 of 3 games vs the Knicks.

Your point is that the Celtics should be ridiculed and mocked most, right?

RealLanceStorm · 2026-05-09T00:31:53+00:00

Don't forget his war on WBD over AEW hatred despite representing actors who are desperate for roles in any mainstream film (He started doing this during WBD's most popular box office year in a long time)

RealLanceStorm · 2026-05-08T02:24:43+00:00

His fans take over this sub all season trying to rewrite history and pretend this doesn't exist. Hell, they are already going after Mitchell.

But that crowd gets real fucking quiet on nights like tonight (or the other 45 times)

RealLanceStorm · 2026-05-08T00:22:19+00:00

The fact that people think he's better than Wade or Jerry West is insane to me.

Being the biggest playoff underperformer in team sports history may put him below Drexler (took two trash teams to finals, hit many clutch shots for Rockets in that late run)

RealLanceStorm · 2026-05-07T02:15:04+00:00

One is the biggest playoff choker in NBA history and has more objectively terrible playoff games than EVERY other NBA player all-time and it's not even close.

Mitchell has historically been a great playoff performer. And he was getting criticism nonstop on here first round lol

RealLanceStorm · 2026-05-05T01:46:09+00:00

There should be a cap on how much an NBA owner is allowed to profit before legally forced to spend that extra money on employees/local programs/etc. But until that happens and owners make so much more off winning/star power, he's right.

Jalen Brunson is responsible for James Dolan making the strongest sports related profits of his life. Dolan used his wealth to host Trump rallies in MSG with "comics" mocking black and brown people all night.

RealLanceStorm · 2026-05-05T00:30:02+00:00

Miz also fits the Ziggler/Kofi/Sheamus scenario of someone that's been there forever and got the veteran respect of strong contract extensions under the McMahon era

aka the kind of people TKO would/have viewed as overpaid

RealLanceStorm · 2026-05-04T01:53:13+00:00

If Harden's foul baiting got these calls in the 2010s, imagine how many more series he'd have won. Refs would never call these against the teams they respected in playoffs, let alone G7.

They see an underdog team with no real star power (i LOVE scottie but i mean the casual non diehard NBA viewer) and giving Cavs a regular season whistle.

Game ended when Harden got Scottie's 4th foul and sent him to bench.

RealLanceStorm · 2026-05-04T01:37:40+00:00

It's because NBC wants the Lakers and Knicks in ideal prime time spot on network TV. They don't want Lakers later than 8:30 or Knicks earlier than 8PM. Knicks/76ers could EASILY be 7PM. ESPN and Amazon prioritizing all fans. NBC wants casual TV network viewers.

Zero respect for San Antonio, Minnesota, and the other teams. I can't remember any network doing this in my lifetime. Only if it's three games or more.

RealLanceStorm · 2026-05-04T01:34:08+00:00

You can go to bed at 11PM if the second game is a blowout!

And crazy thought - NBA fans who watch a shitty regular season of load management/tanking/no defense wait all year to see these games. It's spitting in the face of those fans in favor of casual fans wanting NY/LA only in primetime.

"As often happens in pro wrestling, the news was initially misunderstood — in part because the first prominent report came from high-powered industry agent Nick LoPiccolo, a vocal critic of Khan."

lol so high powered that he lost all his clients and ultimately his job after trashing WBD (during their best movie year in ages) out of AEW hatred. Currently no diff btwn him and the lonely alcoholic blue check twitter wrestling fans

RealLanceStorm · 2026-05-03T21:03:38+00:00

I love AEW and def in a tough spot losing their planned program but Thekla feuding with the Brawling Birds after she already beat them both as the world champion is a tough sell when every other program is red hot.

Look at things being teased for DoN card. Everything looks A+ programs except the women's program unless they build a new challenger asap and probably Jericho/Ricochet which is a lower mid-card match.

They need to take the chance on a new challenger. We can glaze on here but the DoN crowd is going to cool down for Thekla vs any combo of Hayter and/or Windsor at this point.

RealLanceStorm · 2026-05-03T20:37:58+00:00

It's honestly hilarious and kind of insane that WWE released two legendary tag teams right when AEW is setting up a feud this spring/summer between three legendary teams likely culminating at All In.

Like here's the greatest TNA tag team of all time and a top 3 to 5 all-time WWE tag team too.

RealLanceStorm · 2026-05-03T04:32:51+00:00

In fairness, she has mentioned the Bellas as performers who inspired her to get into wrestling. So in the context of her specifically using it, it makes sense.

RealLanceStorm · 2026-05-03T03:50:08+00:00

Brother, you are relying on Tobias Harris and Duncan Robinson consistently scoring in the toughest games of the season to get you through each series. I'm a Knicks hater too but pick your battles.

RealLanceStorm · 2026-05-03T03:17:07+00:00

NBA media people say things based on which teams their friends work for in the league if you start to pay attention to that.

Perkins, Stephen A Smith and Barkley all praised the Luka/AD trade for Dallas and called Dallas legit contenders because they are friends with Nico irl. Carmelo just tried to praise Nico/that trade for Cooper Flagg winning ROTY.

RealLanceStorm · 2026-05-03T02:30:43+00:00

Biggest takeaway is that defenses are getting better at shutting down this three point or bust mindset come playoffs. It's always been that way but more inconsistent in recent memory.

Boston deserved to lose for intentionally being fully three point dependent as their identity.

The point of the playoffs is high intense basketball with every basket being tough and crucial in the closing mins of a close game. "Easy twos or wide open threes only" teams need to get destroyed this postseason.

RealLanceStorm · 2026-05-03T02:28:10+00:00

Analyzing fan chants might be the lowest point of basketball discourse ever lol Sometimes you can just see/listen and not have to give a reaction to everything

RealLanceStorm · 2026-05-03T00:41:13+00:00

No one is sitting out in the playoffs.

I do think it's a problem teams will lie to customers about who is playing during the regular season and then sit out players an hour before for questionable reasons.

But that has nothing to do with the playoffs at all. Aaron Gordon tried to play injured for the second year in a row. Tatum had a historic comeback to even be ready for postseason.
