Aew Dynamite Review 18.1.2204

Intro

If this weeks Dynmite has taught me anything. It's a how quick a year can go by. From Tony Khans Insane twitter rants. WWE going from strength to strength under HHH's leadership, to full blown mergers, changing the face of the Industry as we know It, to moments of reflection, when we had to say goodbye to. Terry Funk. Bray Wyatt, and of course. Jay Briscoe. This pass Wednesday marked the one year aniversary of his death, and If I'm honest It put me In a reflective mood. Because life Isn't just a box of chocolates. It's something that you need to hold onto. Because you never know what Is coming later down the line.

TNT Championship Match Christian Cage vs Dustin Rhodes

I liked this opener, from Rhodes rolling back the years, Killswitch having fun on the outside. To me. Cage was working at a slightly slower pace last night, Which I was a bit confused by, Cage missed a dive from the top rope, which caused Dustin to move out of the way. Both men then contested to have a slap fight, which led to a great code red near fall. Nick Wayne then helped his mentor, by reversing a cradle roll up, for another near fall, and the received a Canadian destroyer for his troubles, from Rhodes. Cage and Rhodes had a great back and forth war, In the final moments, that led to Rhodes kicking out of a Killswitch, but succumbing to a second one, so. Cage could retain his belt. I enjoyed this opening Match, from laughter to good action, you couldn't go wrong when you think about It.

Renee Paquette Swerve Strickland segment

Swerve Strickland then spoke to Renee Paquette, he said, that he would have his eye on the main event later, and. Hangman Adam Page. Page would counteract this later on In the broadcast.

Chris Jericho segment

Renee Paquette Interviewed Chris Jericho, who accepted a Match with Matt Sydal, for Rampage this Friday. I'm not the biggest fan of having Chris on TV at this moment. But I do think this could be seen as an act of defiance, which might be him defending himself, or It could be very damaging

Kommander and Penta vs Orange Cassidy and Trent Baretta

I liked all of this, It was fun from the outset, from Cassidy kicking a down Kommander. Trent Proceeded to hammer Kommander, and hitting him with a knee strike, this lead to the Pair Immobilising Penta, and getting the win, by targetting Kommander with an orange punch, and beach break Combo for the win. Roderick Strong. Mike Bennett, and Matt Taven, then came out, and Roderick challenged Orange to a Match at Revolution. When this gets confirmed properly. It will scream, Match of the year contender. His promo was solid, and I can't wait for the Match. Cole and Wardlow had a promo segment later on. That screamed. Wardlow doesn't give a f***

 Mark Briscoe Tribute to his brother

 Mark Briscoe then led a tribute to his fallen brother Jay, on the anniversary of his passing. I could feel the emotion from his words coming through the screen, With his family In attendance, and an emotional video produced by Aew. This Showed me that when tragedy strikes, the wider wrestling family come together and celebrate. Mark was then joined on stage by his nieces and nephew, In a moment of solid celebration. This. Was very well done.

Heel Bucks segment

Ok. I have to admit It. I'm In love with The Young Bucks heel personas, from their attitudes. to their stunning mustaches, making them look like a mixture between an adult pornstars, and Inspector Clueso. This added a layer of Intrigue, to the temper tantrums that they threw, In the back area of last year. They called every old guy In Aew a cancer, but not Sting, whilst reliving their mission statement they come up with to change the Industry. I loved all of this segment, as It leaves the Revolution Match lingering In the air. Sting and Darby, had a nice father and son video later on, showcasing their favourite activity to do as, father and son. Jumping off of things, you two are crazy.

Bullet Club Gold vs The Mogul Embassy ROH 6 Man Tag Championships

Bullet Club Gold defeated The Mogul Embassy, to become the New ROH 6 man Tag Champions, thanks to Anthony Bowens, this teased the Idea, even further of a super faction being created, however. The Match was flat, and I could have done without this on the card.

Deonna Purrazzo vs Anna Jay

This Match was a snug fitting gem that I enjoyed a lot. It was well worked, and given the chance to breathe, Deonna got the win with her, virtuoso armbar. She can called out the womens Champion. Timeless Toni Storm. Their verbal back and forth was hilarious, Deonna take note, chin up, tits out, and watch out for the shoe. Toni got carried out by Luther. All of this was perfect, and a perfect set up way to the Revolution womens Match, Deonna will beat Toni, and will then go on to make a load of Mone. Just Imagine this mouthwatering prospect.

Private Party vs Top Flight

Private Party. Beat. Top Flight, In a fun TV Match, I had a great time watching this Match, at 7.45 am, before I went to my day job, both teams showcased their Immense talent, styles, and chemistry. Aew's Tag Team Division has a hole heap of talent, from the ones who are breaking Into the Industry, to the established names. It's nice to see this form of the art, over the past five years, take Its flowers.

Samoa Joe vs Hook Aew World Heavyweight Championship

I f****** loved this Match. It had no right to be as awesome as It was. From Hooks calm like an ocean demeaner, that changed with a flip of a 50p piece. His barrage of offence that he unloaded on Joe, was counteracted with pure force, because Joe Is a human tank. Hook showed a never say attitude, that Joe tried to squash, by ragdolling Taz's son around like a wet towel. Smashing on the announcers table, and the ring apron. But Hook never stopped, he kept on coming, he kicked out of multiple near falls, but he eventually succumbed to the coheda clutch. Joe retained his World Heavyweight Championship, In a solid Match. Joe attacked Hook In the aftermath, with a muscle buster. Hangman Adam Page, then came out to make the save, as a venomous Swerve Strickland watched on, like a villain posessed. My god this was great.

Overview of Aew Dynamite

I loved this Weeks Dynamite, It showed me this Is a company, that Is figuring were It needs to go, In order to bring lapsed fans back In, from the life affirming heartfelt moments, to the In ring action, ranging from good to great, to even excellent. This Is the Aew that I have grown to love.

This Weeks Dynamite Is 9/10
