Aew Dynamite Review 1.8.2024

Dedication

Ok, guys. I'm going to do something a bit unexpected. I'm going to skip the intro for one week, and dedicate this weeks AEW Dynamite review, to those that lost their loved ones in Southport this week, my thoughts and prayers are with you, and your angels. 

MJF Segment and Will Osperay vs Lance Archer

MJF. Started off the show, and he wasn't in the best of moods, he impersonates a southern accent, whilst calling them trailor trash, meth addicts, and relating Will Osperay, to a UK Butlins redcoat, he asked the fans to rise in his name, and as by magic. Will Osperay came out. He spoke from the heart, as Max scarpered back up the ramp, Will told him that his titled isn't being recognised, because he's the man holding it, and when All In roles around, he's going to inflict unimaginable pain on Max, whilst running through the list of men, who gave everything to defend the belt that Max diguarded. Max showed no care in tarnishing the reputation of the belt that others built up, and told Will that everything dies, Will, then beat. Lance Archer in a solid tv match. Max then beat Will down in the aftermath, causing Kyle Fletcher to come out, he and Max, had a decent promo battle, that led to Kyle challenging, Max to a match, Max said no, because Max he wants it to happen on this terms, next week on Dynamite. I liked all of this.

Swerve Strickland Vingnette

We then got a Vingnette from Swerve Strickland, this acted as a precauser for what came later.

Big Bill and his big cake

I have three takeaways from this segment, no1. Bryan Keith vs Shibata screams fire. The 2nd. Chris Jericho's cake looks mighty tasty, and the 3rd one. Alex Mahvez keep your fingers out from the icing, I mean how unhygenic.

Kris Statlander vs Willow Nightingale CMLL Title Eliminator

Kris Statlander, beat. Willow Nightingale in a solid tv match, thanks to a certain chain reaction from Stokeley Hathaway. The match had great physicality, however. I'm still concerned that Willow won't getting what she deserves, a moment at Wembley Stadium.

Bryan Danielson

What came next, was the segment of the year. Bryan Danielson came out, and rallied on the phrase. You don't know what you've got, until it's gone. he talked about the good old days, being the balance of pressent, and promise, because he's had a lot of fun in AEW, after nearly having his career taken away, at this point the fans started to chant, thank you Bryan in unison, the look of emotion was riddled all across Danielsons face, this led to promise, that dealt with the ramifications from his family, from the promise that he made to his seven year old daughter, that this contract would be his last, as a full-time wrestler, he said that he's given everything to the fans, whilst having fun kicking opponents heads in, but he's never been AEW World Champion, which was one of his goals, he feels that this was yet to come, because he will be pressent at All In, mind body and soul, this brought out Swerve Strickland, and the two had a earth shattering promo dual, that was delivered, with fire, and grace, this showcased, how both of these men, are the best in the world at this moment. Swerve threatened murder, due to his dangerous actions, this led Danielson to say, that, if he can't beat Swerve, he will never wrestle again, both men shook on this. Danielson then shrugged off Jeff Jarrett. I loved all of this, and as a fan of Danielsons, for nearly two decades, it's going to be an honour to be in attendance for this match. Thank you Danielson indeed.

Trios Match

The Trio of. Roderick Strong. The Beast Mortas, and. Rush, beat. The Conglomeration, in a solid tv match. I had a lot of fun watching this, from Mark Briscoe, and. Rush, taking me back to 2018 ROH. Orange Cassidy doing what looked like a quick step, to The Beast Mortas taking out Briscoe, by going flying, he then pinned Briscoe for the win after giving him a spike, this match screamed, blink and you'll miss it, but my god it was fun.

The Acclaimed Segment

Everyone loves The Acclaimed, but Where's FTR? Collision looks alright this week doesn't it.

Marieh May Interview

Renee Paquette Interviewed Marieh May. I liked all of this. May gave a perfect examplication of how differant she is from her former mentor. Toni then came out on stage looking like a trainwreck, this furthered my opinion, because if Storm is Marilyn Monroe, then. May, is Sharon Stone. I got real Basic Instincts vibes from segment.

Camille vs Brittany Jade

Camille, battered. Brittany Jade, and then her mentor. Mercedes Mone, cut a promo, on an absent Britt Baker, saying that Britt is obsessed with her, and she's the real victim, whilst calling Saraya, when you listen to it back. I liked this.

Darby Allin vs Hangman Adam Page

This. Was. A great 1st time match up, that was fun to watch. Darby stunned Hangman on the stage, and followed that up with a coffin drop, from the top of the stage, the match had a sense of electricity, that ran through the talent, and into the main system of the arena, the steel steps took a lot of abuse from both men, that helped capatilise on the violence, that was on display. The exchanges that both men put forward, helped elevate the story of the match. Darby got the win, after Hangmans stalling became his downfall. Hangman was livid at the end of the broadcast.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite

I liked this weeks broadcast, it felt vital, and it felt relevant, as. Wembley draws near, the build intensifies even more.

This weeks Aew Dynamite is a high 8/10.
