AEW Dynamite Review 24.10.2024

Intro

I have to say, i'm starting to like the new direction that AEW is heading. I can understand why some longtime fans, may feel differantly, but to me. Dynamite is the reason that I enjoy waking up early on a Thursday morning. Next weeks card is looking very good indeed.

Jon Moxley Opening Segment

I liked this. As the Highlights of the past few weeks played out, as Moxley narrated us through his murderous mindset. That worked as a Remember,  that he, and his mates are doing this for the greater good. The camera then showed a linch mob outside the arena, this was a weak episode running thread. Chuck Taylor, later tried to get through to Orange Cassidy.

Hangman Adam Page Segment

Tony Schiavone, Interviewed. Hangman Adam Page. Hangman tried to talk about his reign of battering the Bang Bang Gang, but he was attacked by Colton Gunn, and when he was about to strangle him. Gunn was saved by Jay White, and. Juice Robinson, who chased off the raving nutter. White then cut a promo on Hangman, telling him to ice his knee, and he will see him soon. This was a mix-bag.

Sammy Guervara vs Shelton Benjamin

I liked this. The match had a decent flow to it, and both men showcased their excellent chemistry, and physicality. This Match was given plenty of time to breathe. Shelton got the win.

Marieh May Segment.

Renee Paquette, tried to get a word with Marieh May, but she was more interested in chucking out Ana Jay's luggage from the locker room, Ana saw this, and both ladies had a fight. Just have the match already.

Kyle Fletcher Segment.

This. Was. A lot better than last weeks segment. Damn It Don Callis handed Kyle the mic, and he led us down the road, of a promo tour de force 101. I liked all of this, It felt fresh. It felt relevant, and it felt highly visceral, as Don handed him a head shaver. Kyle took the blades, to his awesome locks, and called out his former best friend, to meet him, face to face, next week. I loved this, The NJPW references were a nice touch, because the relevence of friendship, has now been burn t to the ground.

Ricochet Segment.

Ricochet, was being interviewed by Renee Paquette, when enter stage left came. MVP, and just like that my mind goes back to 2020 Pandemic era WWE. Thanks AEW.

Brian Cage and Lance Archer vs Some Local Jobbers.

Brian Cage, and. Lance Archer, beat some Local Jobbers, in a pointless TV Match, yeah I know. I don't know why this was on the card either.

Mark Briscoe vs Chris Jericho Ladder War ROH World Championship.

Even though, nowadays, i'm not the biggest fan of Chris Jericho's. I had a blast watching this. He took an awesome looking table spot within the first minute of the match. Mark got supplexed through a ladder, just seconds later. As the blood started to flow down Marks face, Jericho upped the violence, and let his sadistic side come out to play, this only fired Mark up, as he gave Chris a Death Valley Driver, through a possitioned ladder in the corner of the ring. The match was given time to breathe. Rocky Romero stopped Bryan Keith, from getting involved, but he couldn't stop Big Bill, who carried his leaders weakened body up the ladder, after Briscoe had given him a froggy bow elbow drop, from off the top of the ladder. I liked the match. I just hated the finish, Also Chris Jericho is a champion in our year of 2024. Oh Joy. Let the sarcasm reign down.

Adam Cole Segment.

I'm not sure what to make of this. Adam Cole came out, and before he could even get a word out, he was interrupted by. Roderick Strong, and. The Kingdom. I hated this. Their dialogue was woeful. as it delved into what we already know. MJF is a scumbag. Max then appeared on the big screen, getting a message, he told both men, that if they want a match against him, then you've got to go through three opponents, and if one of them does that, he will face the winner at Full Gear. I didn't like any of this. I feels like a convoluted way to get to the Fireworks Factory.

Jamie Hayter Segment.

Jamie Hayter, called out Penelope Ford, for a Match in two weeks time. Now this is more like it.

House Of Black vs Local Jobbers.

The House Of Black, beat some local Jobbers, and. Buddy Mathews, called out Adam Cole, who then confronted him backstage. The promise sounds appateising.

Camille vs Queen Aminata.

Camille beat. Queen Aminata, in a decent TV Match, and then had an stair down with Kris Statlander, which turned into a beatdown angle. Mercedes Mone tried to bodyshame Statlander. Not Cool.

Hook Segment.

Hook marched to the ring, to confront his dads attacker, or in this case attackers. Because it was The Patriarchy. Christian put a beating on Hook, and Kip Sabian helped. Nick Wayne, also got in his licks. This was Predictable.

The Elite vs Private Party and Daniel Garcia.

I liked this. The Match had a solid flow to it. Tony Schiavone was seen getting down with his bad self. Daniel Garcia had a date with the time keepers table. Private Party got the win, after a solid final exchange by roll up. The aftermath saw Isiah Cassidy take to the mic, and challenge The Bucks one last time, for their Tag Team Championships, and if they lose, then they will go their seperate ways. Noooooooooooooooooooo, not my best friends, just as the dust had settled on my tears. Marina Shafir showed up in the car park in the truck from Earlier, but this was rouse as the. Greater Good attacked from behind, allowing Moxley to become Alex Delarge, and orchanstrate his violence towards Chuck Taylor. Orange Cassidy, was to late to save his friend, and the broadcast ended on his devastated face, as medical staff tried to help Chuck.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite.

When I was a kid, every Saturday my family would go to Princess Risborough, my dad would head to the local bookies, and my mum would take me, and my older brother to the local Fourboys newsagent, my brother would look at the toys, and I would tag along, but my mum would always pull me away, and get me to look at the Pick'n mix, because I had learning issues, and couldn't read she would always help me pick my sweats, and she would shove a load of disgusting liqourice in the bag. Basically what i'm trying to say is this. Wrestling is like pick'n Mix, you eat what you like, and leave what you don't.

By AEW Standards. This weeks Dynamite is a mid 6/10.
