AEW Dynamite Review 5.12.2024.

        Intro

With the year coming to an end. Controversy has reared its ugly head again for Tony Khan, and his little promotion that can. Last night allegations surfaced, from Ryan Nemmeth, stating that he suffered mental harrassment, and bullying at the hands of Cm Punk, When he was in the company. I don't know all the facts, so I'm just going to say this. I don't Condone bullying in any form.

Shelton Benjamin vs Kyle Fletcher Continental Classic.

This. Was. A sublime measure of great in ring work, and a perfect mesh of styles, that was counteracted into a head on car wreck. This had fans on their feet, and the near falls fell into place, and bled into the Match. Fletcher got the win, by being a cheating little weisel. I liked all of this. MVP was pissed after this, and a poor production guy, got battered as a result.

Hook Segment.

Hook came out, and said that he wasn't interested in facing Nick wayne, because he wants to face his Daddy. So he challenged Christian to a Match when Dynamite goes to the Hammerstein Ballroom. Cage came out onto the stage, whilst Nick Wayne, and. Kip Sabian, attacked Hook, allowing Daddy to give him a steel chair concerto. I didn't like this. It felt a bit contrived.

Mercedes Mone Segment.

Renee Paquette tried to get a word with Mercedes Mone, and, this went as well as it could've gone, she acted like a blazay diva, and said that she's done with Camille, and she'll be watching Anna Jays match against Penelope Ford later on.

Dynamite Dozen Battle Royal.

I'm not a big fan of TV Battle Royals, and this one was no differant. It felt rushed, and very predictable. Adam Cole, and. Kyle O'reilly, won, and will face each other next week, at. Dynamite Winter is Coming. MJF laughed his ass off, and put shame on Adam, calling out his hypocrisy. This storyline hasn't hit with me.

Julia Hart Segment.

Ok i'm getting a sick of this. Just return already Julia, because this is getting stupid. 

The Acclaimed Segment And Max Castor vs Swerve Strickland.

Everything isn't ok with The Acclaimed, no one likes to see their parents fight. Max then got his ass handed to him by Swerve Strickland, because. Swerve battered him, and then came back  for some more, and gave him another stomp, after the Match had finished. I liked this.

Jay White vs Pac.

This. Was. A, physical, storybased masterclass, complete with decent in-ring work. Yuta cost Pac the Match, and then it all kicked off. Mox took out White. Hangman Adam Page thought Mox. Jay White attacked Hangman, all whilst Christian Cage stood their with his contract. I liked this. Cassidy as a camera man choking out Mox, was class.

Chris Jericho Segment.

Chris Jericho advertised ROH, and. AEW tickets, as if their ticket sales aren't bad enough.

Anna Jay vs Penelope Ford.

Anna Jay, beat. Penelope Ford in a solid TV Match, and then called out Mercedes Mone. This brought out the C.E.O, who said that Anna has no chance of gaining her TBS Championship, and she should come back in ten years, when she's done something worth while in the industry, this caused Anna to give Mercedes the five fingers to the face move. I thought this was decent.

Marieh May Sit Down.

I didn't like this. It felt forced, and badly put together. I hated all of this. Renee Paquette sold Marieh, and. Mina's altercation perfectly.

 Brody King vs Claudio Castagnoli Continental Classic.

I liked this. The in-ring work was excellent, and it never let up, throughout its entirity. Claudio got the win, in an excellent TV Match.

Overview of this weeks AEW Dynamite.

I don't know what to think of this weeks Dynamite. The in-ring work went from good to great, but the promos were all over the place.

This weeks AEW Dynamite is mid 7/10.
