AEW Dynamite Review 17.10.2024

Intro

It's been five days since the acts of betrayal, sent shockwaves throughout the industry. Danielsons move into a part time position, is something that my brain is still coming to terms with. His exit, has hit differant with me on so many levels. As a fan. I will miss him, but as a human being. I know that it's for the best. Thank you Danielson. This. Indeed. Was the final countdown of The American Dragon. 

Jon Moxley Segment

Control, fear, and power, were the starting point of this broadcast, as. Moxley and his crew, want to echo change in AEW, and if you're not down with that, then get out of their way. I loved this. It was an excellent episode long through story.

Adam Cole Segment

I can't express how exciting I am to see this man back in a wrestling ring, he said that he's going it alone, and how the industry has differant shades of grey, and that he had to counteract evil with evil, when dealing with MJF, he isn't stupid, because were starting to see the real MJF, he only cares about himself, he called him fake, and a scared little boy. AEW has some of the best talent in the world, and he doesn't want them to follow the same path that Max, has followed, because it leads to, loneliness, and failure, he said that no one likes Max, he then went into business, and called out Max. His music played over the pa system, but he didn't come out, instead he appeared by Video message. This added an extra layer of intrigue, as he revealed that his friendship with Cole, brought down his wall of trust, and that the person that he created, has left a void, that Adam created. Adam walked out of the ring, saying that he wished he had never met Max. I liked all of this.

Chris Jericho Segment

Chris Jericho, told. Renee Paquette, that he wants a rematch against Mark Briscoe, for his ROH Championship. Briscoe counteracted this later on, and challenged him to a ladder match, which was confirmed later on for next week. Mark get out of the Jericho Midcard vortex, for the love of your own career.

FTR vs Big Bill And Bryan Keith Charity Match.

I liked this match, because it was a nice reminder, that the industry has a human side. FTR got the win. If anyone in the states has been effected by the recent hurricanes, the only thing I can say, from my view point, living over here in the UK. Is I hope you guys are ok.

The Aclaimed Segment.

The Aclaimed, had a meeting with MVP, and Shelton Benjamin, after they interrupted their segment with Renee Paquette. Daddyass was like. Yeah, i'm going to the gym.

Mercedes Mone vs Queen Aminata AEW TBS Championship.

I didn't like this. It felt a bit flat. It did pick up, but it was too little, too late. Mercedes retained her belt. This wasn't good.

Private Party Segment

Private Party brought in The Young Bucks, to ask for another oppotunity, to face them, for their Tag Team Championships, but The Bucks were like, Nah you're done, Stokeley Hathaway then stepped in, and put the seed of seperation into both mens heads.

The Elite Segment And Match against The Conglomeration.

The Elite teased the return of Kenny Omega, the only way they could, by getting Jack Perry, and. Okada, to cut a scathing promo on him, including their newest member. Meat. I loved this. Their match against The Conglomeration, was thrown out, when. Wheeler Yuta got involved, the rest of The BCC came out, and this sparked all out carnage. Private Party came out, with Top Flight, and. The Dark Order, but they failed in their attempts to stop this. Moxley cut a promo, saying that everyone is under attack, and that Carnage is the only to do business. The Bucks, just stood their and watched as this unfolded. Daniel Garcia, and. Private Party, confronted them later on, They will face The Elite next week. The Dark Order, and. Top Flight called out Mox, and his crew, saying that they will see them on Collision.

Lio Rush vs Shelton Benjamin

Shelton Benjamin, beat. Lio Rush, in a decent tv match. The aftermath saw MVP cut a promo on Rush, and. Strickland, he said that Swerve will have to Shelton at a later date. Swerve counteracted this later on. The pair will face each other in two weeks.

Don Callis Press Conference

I didn't like any of this, from it's predictable, to Kyle Fletchers. You People Promo. I don't know what else to say. Taking jabs at the media isn't funny. It's sad.

Marieh May Segment

Marieh May, then said that AEW has no competition. Ana Jay took acception to this, and When Christopher Daniels tried to intervene, he got clocked in the face by Jay. You love to see it.

Jay White vs Christian Cage

This match, was, well, a bit weird, the physicality was decent enough, but the finish, was a mess. Hangman Adam Page, and. Kip Sabian, got their ques mixed up, and the finish ended up being a botch. This was a shallow way to end what was a good episode, of weekly TV.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite

Was this weeks AEW Dynamite any good, well if i'm honest. I'm not sure. Yes their was some good stuff on the show, but overall, this left me feeling a bit confused. The promo's were excellent, but the in ring work was very mixed, it went from solid, to poor, and back to solid again. I like the direction the company is heading, but I think that there are going to be more milestones, that they will need to beat, in order to come back to the pomp from 2021.

This Weeks AEW Dynamite is a high 7/10.
