Aew Dynamite Review 22.2.2024

Intro

Over the past few months, I have started to notice that. Aew, is starting to get its spark back, which is what made it so beloved in the first place. from good booking, to excellent in ring work, the only thing that is missing is. Cohesive storylines, which is something that fans have been calling out for, personally, I think their already doing that, when you dig beneath the surface, The devide and conqeuring of the Don Callis famiy. Darby Allin turning heel, and everything that comes with. Mercedes Mone, and. Kazuka Okada both expecting to be arriving iminately. I think the future is bright for Aew, and their time to strike is now.

Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli vs Ftr

What can I say about this opener, other than, this was one hell of an opener, well as it turns out, not a lot. This. Was a well crafted smooth opener, that went to a time limit draw, from the energetic bursts selling the physicality. Mox and cash working hardstyle. Cash trying to ralley the fans. Claudio becoming a one army, and slamming both Cash,and. Dax, to. Ftr performing superb double team spots on Mox, the near falls were performed with grace, and were perfectly woven into the story of the Match, however it was the final exchanges that had coming unglued. I wanted more, the fans in attendance wanted more, but, we couldn't have anymore. because time ran out. A fight broke out between both teams in the aftermath, which led to security and. Aew personal coming out to seperate both teams, this continued later on in the back, during. Ftr's interview time with Renee Paquette, this gave real Hal from. Malcolm In The Middle Vibes. Revolution Iron Man Tag Team Match me thinks.

Orange Cassidy segment and Match with Mike Bennett

Orange Cassidy confirmed to Renee Paquette, that he's kind of cleared to wrestle, he went on to beat Mike Bennett, in a great match that followed after, and was then beaten down by. Roderick Strong, and. Matt Taven. The Match was decent, and had good physicality.

 Angelo Parker segment

Angelo Parker is taking Ruby Soho out on a date, and in my experience, it's a trip to Dominoes, a car pulls up in the background, and Ric Flair gets out, he later stated to. Renee Paquette, that he is unhappy not being used as much, so he went to speak to members of upper management, Matthew, and. Nicholas Jackson. Here's my thoughts on this. Ric Flair is complaining about not being used enough, in the build up to Stings final Match. I think Aew have listened to fans concerns, when it comes to flair, who has a plethora of sexual assault accusations against his name, this screams damage limitations, and Aew have taken stock into this, by removing Flair, which is a sensible move, but then again, on the otherside, this also screams, ego, ego, ego. And if that's the case, then Flair shouldn't have been hired in the 1st place.

Daniel Garcia segment

Then came the segment of the night. Tony Schiavone interviewed Daniel Garcia, he told him, that at Revolution, he will be facing Christian Cage at, for the TNT Championship. The fans chanted you deserve it in unison. Daniel spoke about his career, from being told he could achieve greatness, to having the most incredible 30 seconds of his life, he tried calling out Adam Copeland, but what he got was, everyone's favourite, turtleneck wearing Bond villain, and all round great guy. Christian Cage. Christian told Daniel that he does not want to have the Match at Revolution, because he thinks that he isn't ready, in hindsight he is trying to help Daniel, because. Daniel likes to have fans leave the arena with a good impression, whilst Christian likes to be dominant, and from being dominant, comes out Christian's darkside, he brought up Daniels hard childhood, by insulting his dead dad, Christian has become the master of the Darth Vader dark arts, when it comes to cutting promos, he wants to help Daniel, by becoming his father. Daniel took this by wanting Cage to come down, so he can put him six feet under, with his dad. Cage sent down. Nick Wayne, who got taken out by Garcia, whilst Killswitch had to deal with Daddy Magic. but who made the save, none other than. Jake Hager, cleaned house. I loved his shades, but the big question is, WHERE'S HIS HAT. I LIKED HIS HAT.

Hangman Adam Page. RVD, and. Hook segment

Hangman Adam Page, rallied his troops ahead of their main event later on, he seemed really up for it.

Toni Storm vs Sydni Winnell and Deonna Purrazzo vs Madison Rayne

Both of these Matches were a study in contrast. One was a flat TV Match, and the other, was more competitive. I'm still not changing my mind, about how Aew have treated it's womens division. But, it was nice to see the ladies take take a good slot, Both ladies won their Matches, by using each others submission moves. This. was perfect, when you think about it.

Sting and Darby Allin segment

I loved all of this, from Darby asking to talk about Stings family, to Sting bringing home the relevance of family, because throughout his career no one has ever gone for his kids, and at Revolution. The Young Bucks are going to get every last bit of him, this was made more relevant when Sting told us, that he recently lost his dad. This. Was passionate, with shades of compassion, and delivered with grace. This. Was excellent.

Wardlow segment

Tony Schiavone then tried to interview Wardlow, but he was in no words told, to f*** off. Wardlow went on the complete offence, taking shots at higher ups, Mjf, and of course, everyone's favourite chick magnet. This. Was awesome. He turned on the fans, and claimed that he wants his shot at the belt. He is starving, because he's done being fed screw ups, he is the baddest son of a bitch to ever lace up a pair of boots, no one can get in his way, and If they do, then this means war. I loved this, although I was waiting for him to say the words. Shwing, and excellent.

The Bang Bang Scissor Gang segment

Everyone loves The Bang Bang Scissor Gang, and I especially love it when they compete in mixed Matches, oh joy.

6man tag Match

Samoa Joe. Swerve Strickland, and. Brian Cage beat. Hangman Adam Page. RVD, and. Hook, by submission, in a great main event, and an excellent caviat for what is to come at Revolution. The Match had great physicality, with all 6 men getting their moves in. which was balanced with superd fast paced fluidity. I liked all of this. This. Was a great way to take the show off the air.
