Aew Dynamite Review 20.6.2024

Intro

With Forbidden Door, at the time of writing just 10 days away. The road to Wembley is starting to take shape, with twists and turns, becoming the norm, with other rivalries starting to build beneath the surface, as a Pro Wrestling fan of nearly 30 years, I think times like these are important, because background rivalries are celebrated just as much as the main events, this evidentally clear on this weeks Dynamite.

MJF vs Rush

When I saw the match graphic for this match last week, I have to admit that I wasn't sold on this, but after seeing, i'm happy to admit, that I was wrong, because this was excellent. With the match being able to run commercial free in the States, this gave time for things to proceed naturally, from Max getting whipped like a goverment mule, with a cable, Rush giving him a nasty looking suplex to outside of the ring, but when Max gave Rush a lariot, this started to become his downfall, as Max got the win. but the evening wasn't over for him, when. Brian cage showed up on screen, by orders of The Elite, and they've booked his match for Forbidden Door. Hechicero, this is a smart piece of booking, when you look at both mens in ring style. And I can't wait to see it.

Mark Briscoe. Orange Cassidy. Dante Martin, and Kyle O'reilly segment

I only have two take aways from this segment, no1. Mark Briscoe is one fired up m***********, and the second is. F*** off Scapegoat. 

Osperay and Swerve segment

What came next was excellent. Will Osperay, and. Swerve Strickland had a fantastic promo dual, from both men taking differant roads, to get to were they are now, from reflections of last year, and beyond. Swerve brouht up how Will beat Kenny Omega, which caused Will to fire back, saying that he doesn't need Don Callis in order to get the win. to the importance of family, becoming Swerve's visceral talking point, after he said that Osperay doesn't sacrifice enough in order to succeed. Nana tried to intervene, and Swerve ended the segment by saying to Wills loved ones, this angered Will, as he tried to get to Swerve. Damn It Don Callis then acted like Ross from friends, because everything is fine. Someone tell Trent Barretta, and. Kyle Fletcher that. This is a divine piece of booking, the return of heel Swerve, has added another layer of visceral ugliness to the proceedings. This. Was. Perfect.

8 man tag match

I'm going to be honest, I'm not a big fan of 8 man tag team matches, but. In the words of Paramore, this could be. The Only Exception. Orange Cassidy. Kyle O'reilly. Mark Briscoe, and. Dante Martin, beat. Kyle Fletcher. Konosuke Takeshista. Roderick Strong, and. Zack Sabre Jnr, because why not. Sabre and cassidy had two face offs, the physicality had a nice flow to it, and the exchanges were great. Orange bollocks got the win, with an Orange punch, this was excellent.

The Young Bucks vs The Acclaimed Tag Team Championship Eliminator

I had a lot of fun watching this. From the great physicality, the near falls blending in with the match perfectly, to Max Castor having his mic cut, before his rap could even start, by Okada, who spoke in the funniest patronising tone. I'm so sorry. BITCH, to. The Acclaimed getting the win, and a shot at The Elites Tag Team Championships.

Hook and Joe Segment

Hook and Samoa Joe, went on the hunt for the Premier Athletes, they found their locker room empty, all bar a message that read. See on Collision. Come on boys, do it for all of us crisps lovers everywhere.

Womens Championship Contract Signing

I liked all of this. The segment made me laugh from the start, Mina put over how in Stardom Tony Storm was a legend, and now she is a star. But Tony had some words for her, chin up, tits out, and watch out for the shoe, this was when Mina told Marieh, who was on hosting duties, to make a choice. Saraya then came out, with. Harley Cameron to put a stop to all of this, and she told them, that she hasn't come alone. Ana Jay came out and attacked Mina, this allowed for a fight to break out. Toni nearly puts Saraya through a table, with a hip attack. This was a great way to end the segment.

Owen Hart Tournament QuarterFinal Kris Statlander vs Nyla Rose

Kris Statlander, beat. Nyla Rose in a solid tv match. In the aftermath Stokeley Hathaway took to the mic, and told Willow if she comes near Statlander, he would have her locked up next to Justin Timberlake. Willow showed up on the big screen, and said that she would see Kris, after she beats Serena Deeb. This wasn't bad.

Chris Jericho Segment

Chris Jericho. Big Bill, and. Bryan Keith, bumped into Private Party backstage. Jericho and Bill, will face Private Party on Collision this saturday. At this point should I even care.

Daniel Garcia vs Titus

Daniel Garcia, beat a local talent enhancer, in a pointless tv match. Daddy Magic was beaten up on commentary, by. The Gates Of Agony, and. Brian Cage, but they were saved by MJF. Will Osperay came out to help with the save, but he and will ended facing each other, this was perfect, and another piece of divine booking, as it keeps that plate spinning in the background. Renee Paquette tried to talk to Will in the aftermath, but. Brian Cage called Will out and tried to have a fight with him, security pulled them apart, and Cage challenged him to a match for his Aew International Championship. I liked all of this.

Owen Hart Tournament QuarterFinal Claudio Castagnoli vs Pac

I loved this tv main event. Bryan Danielson took to the commentary desk, and this added an extra layer to this outing. This. Was. A perfect example of the hard hitting european style, being laid bare for a world audience, and it was great to see. Pac got the win with a roll up.

Overview Of Aew Dynamite

This. To me, is one of the best Dynamite's of the year, with a strong card, and excellent promo work, this weeks show was excellent.
