AEW Fright Night Dynamite Review 31.10.2024.

Intro.

I don't go in much on Halloween, usually I tend to sit around, and watch old Horror movies, which i'm a big fan of, and eat ludacris amounts of chocolate. But not this year. AEW have changed my normal routine, with Dynamite Fright Night. So gone is the Excorcist, and. Friday The 13th, is now a distant memory. And in it's place. Jon Moxley murdering people. God Bless Halloween.

Orange Cassidy Segment.

Orange Cassidy kicked off the show, by interrupting a Bcc video, that was captured after last weeks show. Cassidy praised the AEW locker room, calling them the future, but also giving them a stark warning, saying just how dangerous Jon Moxley is, he said that Jon doesn't need AEW, but. Orange does, he fires up, because he wants to stop Moxley, he went on to challenge him to a match, for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship, at. Full Gear. Cassidy told Mox, that he isn't hard to find. I liked all of this. Cassidy's cool and calm delivery was captivating, and slightly unnerving, at the same time.

Mercedes Mone Arrives.

Mercedes Mone, was seen showing up to the show, and was being interviewed by Renee Paquette, about Kamille's chances against Kris Statlander later on tonight. And she replied by saying, just look at her of course she's going to win, more on his later.

Adam Cole vs Buddy Matthews.

This. Was. Simply sublime. From both men creating a solid flow, in the early stages, this allowed the match to have time to breathe, as their mesh of styles created magic. The physicality was turned up to 9 on the dial, and it stayed their through to the final stages. Cole was taken out, after his ankle played up. Buddy got on the mic, and called him out causing, him to come back into the ring. What came next was good series of exchanges, that gave way for Adam to get the win. Both men shook hands at the end, the lights went out, and when they came back on. Malakai Black was standing in front of him. This Match was confirmed later on for next week. also those two Panama sunrises were sensational. I liked all of this. Adam cut a promo on Max in the aftermath.

Private Party segment.

Private Party, were given some advice from Christopher Daniels. I love this man, and this team. Because their my best mates.

Kyle Fletcher Segment.

I liked all of this. Kyle Fletcher, has turned himself, into a 1980's action movie villain, and I love it. He tried to call out Will Osperay, but he wasn't in attendance, instead out came a returning. Mark Davies, their promo dual was fantastic, from the act of betrayal, to the choices that Mark is going have to make in the future, the promise is exciting here.

Hangman Adam Segment.

I have no other words, other than, this man is extremely captivating, and his promo here, calling on his history with Jay White, was excellent.

Mox And His Crew Segment.

All of this was excellent. Jon Moxley, and his band of mercinaries came to the ring, he said that, one day Orange Cassidy, and the fans will understand, why they are doing this. Chuck Taylor was a distraction, and a deadweight, and all he was trying to do was open up Oranges eyes. He flipped reversed Oranges challenge, and challenged him instead, telling him, that when he faces him, he won't face him on the top of the mountain, he will face him in the valley to die. Yuta was used as a sacrificial lamb, but this was just a rouse, to call out Cassidy, it worked. Cassidy was beaten down. The Dark Order came out to even the numbers. Darby Allin came out, from the rafters, and took out Claudio Castagnoli. Top Flight also came out, along with Private Party. 

Private Party vs The Young Bucks AEW Tag Team Championships.

This. Was. Excellent. It had a differant kind of energy. The Match was fast paced from the outset, as the story of the Match unfolded. Isiah Cassidy was busted Open accidentally, by his Tag Team Partner Mark Qwen. The blood added drama to proceedings. Okada got involved, giving Qwen a piledriver on the stage. The movesets from both teams, were performed with ease, and the near falls were placed well, however the final exchanges, saw. Private Party get the win, and the belts. This. Was. A career defining moment taking place on national tv. The Bucks then vacated the building, after Postman Perry saw them shredding files. They left the arena, pissing off Christopher Daniels. Brandon Cutler was left behind, and was basically fed to the lions. Mox and his crew attacked Cutler, and. Daniels.

Jamie Hayter and Penelope Ford Segment.

I the only thing I have to say about this was. Just have the match already ladies.

Chris Jericho Segment.

I dispised this segment. Chris Jericho is a champion in our year of 2024, oh boy. God Bless you Mark Briscoe.

The Patriarchy Segment.

The Patriarchy said they will meet Hook next week.

Kamille vs Kris Statlander.

Kris Statlander, beat. Kamille, in a standard TV Match, and she was beaten down in the aftermath, by Mercedes Mone. This. Wasn't bad.

Swerve Strickland vs Shelton Benjamin.

I loved this. Both men showcased excellent chemistry, and the match was given time to breathe as a result, they played off of each others strengths. Swerve got the win with a stomp, and within seconds, the lights went out, and when they came back on. He came out. Bobby Lashley made his way to the stage. Bobby layed out Swerve, and. Nana, was taken out by MVP, as he proclaimed, that business has just picked up. This. Was. A sensational way to end this weeks broadcast.

Overview Of AEW Fright Night Dynamite.

This is one of the best episodes of Dynamite this year. The in-ring work flowed nicely, and the promos were sensational.

This Weeks Dynamite is a solid 9/10.

My Top Favourite Tag Teams Ever.

Intro.

HEY TAG TEAMS. Ok guys. I had to get my Butcher And The Blade reference out of the way, because if you know me, then, you know I love two things more than anything in life. Arsenal FC, and. Wrestling. Tag wrestling has a special place in my heart. The dynamics are special, and in some cases, they leave an endelible mark on my fandom, so here are some of my favourite Tag Teams.

5 The Outrunners.

I love these two. Truth Magnum, and. Turbo floyd, are simply 1980's perfection. Enough said.

4 Edge And Christian.

The WWF back in the late 1990's, and early 2000's, were enfused with Tag Team Wrestling. Edge And Christian, really wreaked of awesome, and as a 12 year old fan watching these guys, at that time in my life, was great, because me and my buddy Tim, would act like these two. I was Edge, and he was Christian. This is why they were so great. They didn't just have insane matches with The Hardy, and. The Dudley Boyz, they could also make you laugh, when you needed it most.

3 FTR.

From having class matches, to showing the world, that you can change your outlook, if you're not happy, with the current state you find yourself in. I love Dax, and. Cash.

2 The Uso's.

From setting the world alight with their matches against The New Day, to conquering, and fracturing the world, as part of The Bloodline. Their matches have never disapointed me.

1 The Young Bucks.

I've had the pleasure of watching these guys in person, their matches against FTR, are steller reminders, that Tag Team wrestling is an art form in its self. Their runs in ROH. NJPW, and. AEW are the stuff of legend. I'm an Elite Stan, and how they helped carve out the Hangman, and. Kenny Arch hasn't gone unnoticed. I love these guys.

My Top 5 Modern Day wrestlers

Intro.

With, both. WWE, and. AEW, currently working their way through their own transitions. I thought this would be a good time, to take a look, at the best performers in the industry working today.

5 Drew Mcintyre.

Andrew Galloway, better known to WWE fans as Drew Mcintyre, is a veteran of the business, who has worked to garner his reputation, from being released by the company back in 2014, and working his way up the chain in Impact wrestling, to returning back to WWE, thriving in NXT, and leaving his own stamp on the main roster, becoming a multi-time champion. His rivalry with Cm Punk, has been WWE's best TV output this year, in my opinion, and their Hell In A Cell encounter from the Bad Blood PLE, is my WWE Match of the year. This. Man can do no wrong.

4 MJF.

I love this man, if we ever meet in real life, I think he would probably hate me, but then again, what would I expect. I mean it's Maxwell Jacob Freeman afterall. His Matches, against the likes of. Ricky Starks. Jon Moxley. Cm Punk, and. Kenny Omega, have been must appointment viewing, and his promos have been scaving, just ask Lexis King. Cm Punk, and. Darby Allin. Methanie anyone. Yikes.

3 Jon Moxley.

As it stands right now, Jon Moxleys favourite hobbies, are. Causing carnage, and murdering people, but if you rewind your mind back to the pandemic, and beyond, he carried my hope, and belief, as things got worse, during those times. Jon Moxley has carried AEW through some testing times, and choppy waters. This man gets my respect instantly.

2 Kenny Omega.

From helping Jon Moxley guide a company through the pandemic, to having outstanding matches, and moulding one of the best stories, to ever grace the wrestling world. This. Man, needs to take his flowers. I'm not a religous man, but. God bless you Kenny.

1 Cody Rhodes.

This man is the definition of passion, his believibility, and outright chemistry with the fans, is nothing more than exceptional. He's a one man industry changer, and whether you like him or not. Cody right now is the man.

Monday Night Raw Review 29.10.2024.

Intro.

With the nights drawing in, and the days getting colder. WWE is seeming to be getting hotter. This. Is. One of my favourite times of year, to be a wrestling fan. This Saturday It's Crown Jewel, a show that revels in fan delight, whilst the wider world looks on in disgust. If you want to watch the show, then watch the show. Everyone has their own opinions on these events, and i'm no differant. Sport washing is bad, but it's up to you, to decide how you proceed.

Superstars Seen showing Up.

The Judgement Day, and. Seth Rollins, were seen showing up to the arena, later on The Human Oven, was told by Adam Pearce, that he would be facing Damien Priest, in the main event. 

Jey Uso Segment.

I loved all of this. The fans giving Jey his flowers, is always a sight to be seen, as he entered throgh the fans. He runs through everything that has happened to him lately, guiding the fans through a yeetathon, he called out his brother Jimmy, and both men had a great promo dual. From Jeys hesistancy, to. Jimmy thanking him for turning up on Smackdown. Jey went through his achievements, but it doesn't topple being his his twin brother, and if he does reform with his brother, he doesn't want to be a sidekick, he wants to be the old Uso's. Solo and his new Bloodline attacked in the aftermath. But, it was Jimmy, and. Jey, who stood tall. Later on they would have meetings with Sami Zayn, this would act as an excellent episode long storythread, that was loaded with backstabbing easter eggs.

Sheamus vs Ludwig Kaiser.

Sheamus, beat. Ludwig Kaiser, in a solid match, that focused on their superb chemistry, and physicality. I liked all of this.

Rhea Ripley And Gunther Segments.

Rhea Ripley, and. Gunther, would then have, back to back segments, that focused on the same thing, their recent actions. I liked both of these segments.

Zelina Vega vs Ivy Nile.

Ivy Nile, beat. Zelina Vega, in a flat TV Match, that offered absolutely nothing.

Seth Rollins Segment.

I liked all of this. Seth came out, and said that he's on the hunt for a monster, and. Bronson Reed is that monster, because he's awoken something inside of him, that has been lost for some time. He's awoken, what he's capable of. Bronson then showed on the big screen, and told Seth, that if he wants a fight, he's in the car park of the arena. Both men, then engaged in a brawl, and. Seth took the worst of it, by taking a deathvalley driver through some well placed tables, near the equipment trucks.

R Truth Segment.

I''m just going to say, what I think, were all thinking. God Bless you R Truth. He stood up to The Miz, saying that he hopes The Wyatt Sick kill him, and he insulted Chad Gable, gaining great respect from The Alpha Academy. Whilst. The Miz, would go on to act like a big cry baby, leaving Karrion Kross to mop up his tears. ( Yeah I know that never happened, but it would be funny if it did.)

Tag Team Championship Final.

The War Raiders, beat. Rey Mysterio, and. Dragon Lee, and. The New day, in a storybased Match, that needed more time, because to me this felt a tad rushed. The New Day split is coming, and it's going to be emotional, if this story is your bag. Chad Gable got involved.

Damien Priest vs The Human Oven.

The Human Oven, beat. Damien Priest, in a nausiatingly bad TV Match, that was riddled with Shenanigans, from. The Judgement Day. The Oven, got the win, by roll up. Priest went balistic in the aftermath. I hated this Match.

Overview Of Monday Night Raw.

This Weeks Monday Night Raw, acted as a compulsive mix-bag, that had something for all. If you like The Bloodline, then the intrigue was there, and if you like, poor, to ok Matches, then WWE had you covered, what i'm trying to say is this. Enjoy, what you enjoy.

 This weeks Monday Night Raw is 7/10.

My Top 5 Favourite Modern Day NXT Stars.

 Intro.

Even though I'm not the biggest fan of the current day. NXT Product, since the days when. He Who Shall Not Be Named, revamped it from the dreary skull and bones, decour, to Refreshers factory explosion, that it later went on to become. The talent however, has remained consistant, and has helped give  HBK's reputation, the monicker of, the cooker, and booker of the year. Here's my top 5 Favourite Modern Day NXT Stars.

5 Tony D'angelo.

This character was an early favourite of mine, from The Refreshers factory era of the brand. I loved his vingnettes, and his in-ring performances have gotten a lot better over time.

4 Oba Femi.

This man is the future of the industry, his stature is immense, and his in-ring pressence, is very cool. I love this man.

3 Roxanne Perez.

Roxanne Perez, needs to be moved to the main roster, because she's that good.

2 Cora Jade.

Cora Jade, is another performer, who needs to be on the main roster, because she's that damn good.

1 Trick Williams.

Trick Williams, is a consistant force in NXT, and is a talent with a very high ceiling. I want him on the main roster, because the matches that he could have, will take my breath away.




WWE NXT Halloween Havoc Review 28.10.2024.

Intro.

As this time off year, draws the nights in, and the weather gets colder. NXT of late, hasn't been as a bad as what i thought it would be. Now, don't get me wrong. I have gone a bit cold on the NXT product of late, in terms of their TV product, but in the terms of PLE's they always deliver.

Gigi Dolon Hype Video.

Gigi Dolon, introduced the show, hosting the intro hype video, It's great to see her back.

Tony D'angelo vs Oba Femi NXT North American Championship.

The ring announcer couldn't even get a word out, because both men started, to produce the carnage. Awesome table spots, and ladders, getting used as impliments, and help from the family, leading to Tony to retain his belt, after he gave Oba a spinebuster through a table. This. Was, an excellent opening match, and I had a lot of fun watching it.

Lexis King Segment.

William Regal, said that he will help the man with drawn on side burns, and will be in his corner, when he faces his son on Tuesday.

Roxanne Perez And Cora Jade vs Giulia And Stephanie Vaquer.

Stephanie Vaquer, and. Giulia, beat. Roxanne Perez, and. Cora Jade. I loved this match. I felt that the flow it had, helped the match to have time to breathe. The physicality was solid, and all four ladies painted their art, on this canvas.

WWE Superstars Halloween Suprise.

WWE Superstars, then felt up The Boogeyman. Byron Saxtons face was a picture.

Cedric Alexander Jevon Edwards Segment.

Cedric Alexander, gave. Jevon Edwards some advice. They will face the Tag Team Champions on Tuesday. Nathan Frasier, and. Axiom answered back later on.

Busted Open Radio On NXT.

Dave LaGrecca, and. Bully Ray, from Busted Open Radio, were on hosting duties. I understand why they're divisive figures, but I like their back and forth, on. Busted Open. Ridge Holland then got in Bully Rays face later on. This was the second time on the broadcast. Tatum Paxley then scared the daylights out of. Booker T, when she appeared from Case, that Wendy Choo, trapped her in on NXT this week. Also. Vic Joseph's David S Pumpkins Costume was inspired.

Andre Chase vs Ridge Holland Ambulance.

I had a lot of fun watching this. This. Was. A stipulation led ride, that didn't disapoint. Ambulance matches, do what they say on the tin, there not technical masterpieces, what we got here was a weapon induced piece of work, as a steel chair, a kendo stick, and a stretcher, were all used to full effect. Holland got the win, after he put his former Chase U mentor in an ambulance, slamming the door on his education. Right i'm going to send in application.

Gauntlet Match Kelani Jordan vs Fatal Influence.

I thought this match fell flat. Kelani saw off. Jasmine Nix, and. Jacy Jayne, but she couldn't get over Fallon Henley, as she became the new NXT North American Championship. She then tried to cut a promo, but. Zaria came out and laid waste to all of Fatal Influence. This was her second appearance on the show, as she stared down Cora Jade, and. Roxanne Perez, after their loss.

Devils Playground Ethan Page vs Trick Williams NXT Championship.

I liked all of this, except the ending that is. The match was a fine run through, complete with good weapon spots, including. Ethan Page, getting turned into a human pumpkin, both men fighting in the fans. Ethan was landed onto nuts, and bolts. Both men had fun with steel steps. And. Trick Williams, was put through the announcers table. The final stages of the match, saw the near falls, land into place well, and both mens final exchanges, led to the finish, allowing Trick to retain his belt, and then it happened. Ridge Holland came out, and attacked Trick. Bully Ray came out to make the save. I hated the ending. Bully stood tall, this takes away the fact that Developmentees, were meant to be standing tall. Instead  this made Trick look stupid, needing help from a 50 plus year old veteran. What's the point in that.

Over Of WWE NXT Halloween Havoc.

Poor ending aside, this was a decent show, that I had a lot of fun watching. The in-ring work went from good, to, great, and the promise that has been placed on NXT, makes me feel excited for the developmental brands future.

NXT Halloween Havoc 2024 is a high 8/10.

AEW Collision Review 27.10.2024

Intro.

When the weekend comes around. I get a bit excited, because it means two things. The first is Premier League Football, and the second is wrestling. Weekend wrestling, unlike my beloved Arsenal FC, never fails to leave me feeling satisfied. Due to my day job. I haven't been able to do a Smackdown Review, in over two weeks, and you know what, it's been a nice change of pace, because sometimes in life, the quiet lane, knows what's best.

Footage From After Dynamite.

Chuck Taylors was seen being taken out of the ring on a stretcher. Orange Cassidy lost his cool, and took out his frustraions on Daniel Garcia. He will face Mox on Dynamite this Wednesday. I loved this as an opening to the show. Just brilliant.

Jay White vs Shane Taylor.

Jay White, beat. Shane Taylor, in a solid match. The big vs small dynamic, was a well woven story arch that sold the physicality. Jay hit big Shane with his bladerunner finisher, for the win, and then cut a promo, putting over Taylor, whilst rubbing salt into the skin of Hangman Adam Page, he challenged Hangman to a match at Full Gear, that was later on made official, by Tony Khan. I liked all of this.

Kyle Fletcher Segment.

Kyle Fletcher, told Lexi Nair that he's here on family business, keeping an eye on Ricochet, for Takeshista, whilst sporting his new haircut. Kyle Fletcher 1980's action star. He will meet Will on Wednesday.

Penelope Ford vs Robyn Renegade.

Penelope Ford, beat Robyn Renegade, in a flat TV match, that offered nothing. And was then called out by Jamie Hayter on the big screen, in the aftermath.

FTRunners Segment.

I'm head over heels in love with this team, their promo, had me howling with laughter, like it was 1987. The Outrunners, then beat MxM Collection in a fun TV match.

Nigel Mcguinness, Wheeler Yuta Segment.

This. Was. Excellent. I loved all of this. From Nigels calm expodition, acting like a school teacher, who was calmly trying to understand why a student has done something potentially very serious, to. Yuta becoming, a calm cadaver whilst explaining his actions, for why he nearly left his mentor with altering injuries. All of this was excellent. Well done to both men.

Ricochet vs Lio Rush.

Ricochet, beat. Lio Rush in solid match, that was a beat by beat, stylistic clash, left me wanting more. Ricochet, got the win by sending a clear message to Takeshista.

Harley Cameron Segment.

Ok i'm going to explain this in the style of a famous 1980's cartoon. Feel the magic, feel the roar Thunder Cameron is loose. Thunder. Thunder. Thunder. Thunder Cameron. Hooooooooooo. Thunder Rosa, said that she's going to smack the paint from off of her face next week. I liked this.

The Beast Mortas Segment.

The Kingdom had a very nice gift for The Beast Mortas, a sweet box selection. This was an attempt to get him on their side. Lexi Nair, ask before you take someone else's sweets. Manners little lady. Manners.

Ana Jay vs Viva Van.

Ana Jay, beat. Viva Van, in a solid TV Match, and was then called out by Marieh May, in the aftermath. I liked all of this.

FTR vs Rush and Dralistico.

I liked all of this. FTR are one of my favourite Tag Teams to watch, and this match was the perfect examplication for why. The Physicality was on point, the match was given plenty of time to breathe. FTR got the win, with a shatter machine. The Beast Mortas, then helped his team in a beatdown on Dax, and. Cash, that was until, their new mates. The Outrunners came to make the save, as the show ended, with all four men flexing, like it was 1988. 

Overview Of AEW Collision.

I had a lot of fun watching this weeks Collision, the in-ring work was solid, and the promos were decent.

This weeks AEW Collision is an enjoyable 7/10.

My Top 5 Jon Moxley Matches

Intro.

From being Ignored by a large corporation, to becoming the demented nuttcase he is today. Jon Moxley got me through the pandemic, and beyond, and has become a staple amongst fans, as he continnnnues to earn their respect.

5 Jon Moxley vs Hangman Adam Page Texas Death Match Revolution 2023.

In AEW Jon Moxley has become the stallwart for carnage, he's always been a company player, being there whenever he's been called upon, and on this night, he and Hangman Adam Page, didn't bring the house down, they created it in their image. A bloodstained canvas. I love this match.

4 Jon Moxley vs Chris Jericho Revolution 2020 AEW World Heavyweight Champion.

Even though I'm not the biggest Chris Jericho fan these days. I have to admit, he, and, Jon have great matches together, and this was one of them. It came at the right time, and was placed perfectly, as the build to the ppv ramped up, the excitement for the match grew, and it delivered. We love you Moxley, we do. We love Moxley, we do. We love you Moxley, we do, oh. Jon Moxley, we love you.

3 Jon Moxley vs MJF Full Gear 2022.

With the changing tides that AEW saw in 2022, there was one constant. Jon Moxley, his way of seeing what was working, and what wasn't, is something that I feel has gone unrecognised. MJF was on a speeding train, towards the AEW World Heavyweight championship, and to actions beyond Jons control, he took it upon himself to guide the company, through an incredibly troubling time. This, match was perfectly timed, and, a well executed piece of work.

2 Jon Moxley vs Kenny Omega AEW Dynamite Winter Is Coming 2020.

A changing of the guard was coming. Moxley had held the Championship since Febuary 2020, and his time at the top, was coming to an end, and. Kenny Omega, was on the rise, and his next step towards dominance, came when he had to topple the king, and that he did. Jon helped make this rivalry feel, visceral, and violent, before a move had been made, due to his promos, delving into the realm of believability. You add all of this together, and what do you get, well magic. Let's be honest.

1 Jon Moxley vs Wheeler Yuta AEW Rampage March 2022.

This. Is, by far the best Match Jon has ever had in AEW. If you haven't seen it, then I urge you to give it a watch, because this was gold.




My Top 5 AEW Championship.

Intro

Over its early five years. AEW has had some mind altering Championship Matches. Are a select few of my favourites.

 5 Will Osperay vs MJF AEW International Championship 2024 All In.

Ok. I'm going to sound a bit biased, because I was there, but this match was an excellent spectacle, and well worthy of its five star rating, from my idol. Big daddy Dave Meltzer. The physicality, and, storytelling, was off the chain, and I think I lost my voice twice, during this match.

4 MJF vs Adam Cole AEW All In 2023.

In a match that I dubbed. The Battle Of The Brochatchos, you could see the next four months worth of storytelling, being laid out in front of our very eyes. Even though that creative did fall by the wayside. This match acted as an interesting paradox. Their chemistry was palpable, as the stage was set, for something that UK fans wouldn't forget. I was also in attendance for this show, and I remember crying at the end, because I never thought I would ever be able to go to a big wrestling show, on these shores. This. Was. A perfect main event.

3 Jon Moxley vs Eddie Kingston Full Gear 2020.

As the way that the industry stood in 2020, the added art of Groteque in Pro Wrestling, had been given a new lease on life. AEW were not afraid to venture to places, that there counterparts in Stamford Conneticut, had distanced themselves from. This. Match, is the perfect example of bloodsoaked carnage, being turned into beauty, and served up to the masses.

2 Hangman Adam Page vs Kenny Omega Full Gear 2021.

What can I say about this match, that hasn't been said before, other than, this was a perfect way to cap off a two year story arch, well, as it turns out. I just did.

1 Bryan Danielson vs Swerve Strickland AEW World Heavyweight Championship AEW All In 2024.

If a matches final result, leaves me in a flood of tears at the end, then you know something special has unfolded. enough said.

Thursday, 24 October 2024

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.
