Aew Dynamite Review 26.6.2024

Intro

The Summertime for me as a wrestling fan, is one of my favourite times of year. Shocks. Betrayals, and some All In, great PPV's, and PLE's, and with the added editions of. Forbidden Door, and. All In at Wembley Stabium, as a life long fan of this industry. I feel that, when times like these come a calling, I think that capitisation is important. Last week after Dynamite, Tony khan announced that the go home Dynamite, and. Collision before All In at Wembley Stadium, would be emmulating from Cardiff. I think this is a savvy business move. Yes. This is a good way to get fans to snap up some last minute tickets, but. With Aew's media rights negotiations taking place as we speak. This could a deal maker for fans here in the uk.

Mjf Segment 

The King of Long Island opened up the show this week, but before he could even say a word. Daniel Garcia came out. The pair had a solid promo dual, with Garcia going out of his way to put Max over, by saying nice things about him. Max took on the role of a paid schill, by advertising this Sundays PPV. Max shakes Daniels hand, after he showed him the same respect, by calling him the future foundation of this company, and saying that when they faced each other for the belt, he had earned it. Max went on to offer him a match at All In. Will Osperay came out, and gave Daniel an even bigger offer, next week. Garcia vs Osperay, for all of the gold. Max stood in the background looking like a pissed off child, who's being ignored at his birthday party. Daniel Apologised to Max, and took Will up on his offer. Swerve and Nana watched this, and they were'nt assumed. I loved all of this. The spinning plate booking technique that Tony Khan has made famous, is working perfectly, you have. Swerve and Osperay on one hand, whilst MJF simmers in the background, and with the added bonus Of Daniel Garcia, this makes fantasy booking All In a lot of fun.

Bcc vs Los Inogrenables Japan

I liked all of this. even though it ended in a dq finish. The in ring work was solid, and the matches within the match, were timed perfectly.

Jay White vs Rey Fenix Owen Hart Tournament

Jay white, beat. Rey Fenix, to advance to the next stage of the tournament, this match needed more time.

Young Bucks and The Acclaimed

Ok. I liked what came next, and its aftermath. The Young Bucks said that they are not happy, after losing to The Acclaimed last week, and that after Jack Perry becomes the new TNT Champion on Sunday, they will be putting their wild card into the Owen Hart Tournament. The Acclaimed answered this back with no rap from Max Castor, they want to face The Bucks for the Gold, Both. Max, and. Anthony waste no time in saying what they think of the company's EVP's, this leads to The Elite coming out to a chorus of boos, and. Matt Jackson asking the crowd to have some respect. They challenged them to a Trio's match at forbidden Door, but. Daddyass steeped to one side, and said that he knows someone that can step in, because he has friends in higher places, yes mate we know, your mates with HBK. His friend is non other than. Hiroshi Tanahashi, the arch rival of Kazuchika Okada, Okada went from laughing, to. Ok, what in seconds, and I loved it. Scissor me Bitch indeed. The Elite vs The Acclaimed and Hiroshi Tanahashi, at. Forbidden Door, oh go on then, why not.

The Conglomeration Segment

I have only one thing to about this. Mark Briscoe, and. Kyle O'reilly bouncing off of each other verbally was great, and a real sight to be seen. Calling Zac Sabre Jnr fish and chips, just makes me feel hungry.

6 women Tag Match

Timeless Toni Storm. Marieh May, and. Mina Shirakowa, beat. Saraya. Harley Cameron, and. Anna jay, in a solid tv outing, but in the celebration. Marieh May accidentally had a glass champane bottle smashed over her head, by. Mina.

Mercedes Mone Segment 

Mercedes Mone accidentally mistook Stephanie Vaquer for. John Cena, because she can't see her, but never fear, because Mercedes will see her at Collision.

The Learning Tree Segment

I never thought that I would say this but, this was my segment of the night, from Brian Keith selling his Injuries, all three men calling out. Hook. Samoa Joe, and. Shibata, but Jericho had a trick up his sleeve, a third member. Minoru Suzuki, yeah this turned out to not be the case, because. Suzuki wants to face, one on one, and just like that. Jericho looked like he wanted to s*** himself. Shibata summed up Chris, when he said that he sucked, and a fight broke out to end the segment.

Zac Sabre Jnr vs Kyle O'reilly Owen Hart tournament

Zac Sabre Jnr, beat. Kyle O'reilly in a solid Owen Hart Tournament match. This. Was. My match of the night, as both men put on clinic, of great technical wrestling.

Swerve Strickland and Will Osperay vs The Gates Of Agony

This. Was. A solid showcase of what is to come this weekend, great physicality allowed the story to breathe, as the can they coexist element played out. Osperay got them the win with a hidden Blade. Swerve then attacked Will in the aftermath, when Will held Swerve's belt.

Overview Of Aew Dynamite

I had fun wathing this weeks Dynamite. The action was solid, the promos were decent, and I have to say, i'm now hyped for the PPV this weekend.

this weeks Aew Dynamite is a solid 8/10.

My Top 5 Bret Hart Matches

Intro

As the years have gone by, my fondness for one man has grown deeper, and deeper. Terms like. The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be, and. The excellence of execution, were thrown around at will back in the nineties, and with good reason, gone were days of taking my vitamins and saying my prayers, because the hope, and spirit, of one man managed to carry a 9 year old Patrick O'malley, to the point of pestering his parents to look at him whilst he was pretending to be his hero, to the point that I wanted to be the kid in that cheesy WWF advert, that was given Bret's shades. So with that said. Sit back, relax, and read my list of my top 5. Bret The Hitman Hart Matches.

5 Bret Hart vs Mr Perfect April 1989

Even though these two have had better matches, I feel that this is a great starting point. Their chemistry here was off the charts. If you were a kid watching this, then you could marvel at both mens characteristics, and if you were an adult at this time, you could lose yourself in two of the best of their era, putting on a physical well worked match. Even it ended in a no contest, you will have a good time watching this.

Bret Hart vs The British Bulldog 17th of December 1995

I think this is my favourite match from these two. Their Summerslam 1992 match is one of the best Intercontinental matches, to have ever graced the squired circle, but given the fact that the new generation was in full swing, this acted as a good advert for athletisism, at a time when the WWF would capitilise on this heavily. The match was class, and for its time, it still holds up. It's also an interesting look into wrestling family dynamics, as this happened when Davey Boy Smith had turned heel, a heel. British Bulldog was something to behold, at a time when the heel was nonexistant in the industry, in my opinion.

Bret Hart vs Sting WCW Mayhem November 1999

WCW in 1999 was a shallow mess of its former self, from bad booking decisions, to hemeraging millions, from bad business makers, sitting in higher up seats, the week to week tv product was suffering bably at this time. He who shall not be named, had regained control of the tv ratings, leaving Ted Turners organisation to think on their feet, and given the fact that at this time in the companies history, most of what put forward failed, except for that odd diamond, this match was just that, and also a reflection on how far down the toilet WCW had fallen. Sting, and. Bret Hart on a PPV in any capacity  makes sense, but on this night, both men looked like they were loving it. Bret got the win. I wished we got to see them wrestle more often.

Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels Wrestlemania 12 Iron Match

This match depends on which side of the fence you sit on. I get that why modern day fans stray from this match, but for my money, this match sells itself. the physicality is a slog to get through, but the the fact these managed to tell a story, that led to professional hatred, is something that I put up there with. Hangman Adam Page, and his saga with The Elite, and anything Bloodline related, as some of the best Pro Wrestling storytelling that I have seen in my lifetime. Two men, and a boyhood dream coming true, does it really get any better than that?

Bret Hart vs StoneCold Steve Austin Wrestlemania 13

With this mania standing out as one of the weakest in the history of the show of shows, it was a match that was wretched from, sheer determination, blood, and fighting spirit, that turned the. Texas Rattlesnake into a global superstar. The Austin era began here, in a star making match. Bret would also turn heel on this night, making a nine year old Patrick O'malley cry, even Brets heel turn wasn't great, he must have felt the preassure of the night. And in my opinion, he showed just why he is. The best there is. The best there was, and. The best there ever will be, because sometimes in life. If you want to be the best, you have to bring up the best. Austin passed out due to the pain of a sharpshooter, as the lantern was starting to have some attitude. Cigarettes will be needed for after this match.

Monday Night Raw Review 25.6.2024

Intro

From the depths of the depraved, to the callous actions of a Scotsman. WWE at the minute is starting to peak my interest again, i'm also loving the second coming of The Bloodline, that has the big Dwayne size asterix hanging over its head, what i'm trying to say is, enjoy, what you enjoy.  

Drew Mcintyre Segment

I liked this for an opening segment. Drew walked in front of the commentary desk, that had The Miz filling in for Pat Mcafe. Drew cut a straight to the point promo, as he slammed the fans for chanting Cm Punks name, after he's screwed him over twice, he said with no remorse, that he hopes Punk is in an uncomfortable state, after what Drew did to him on smackdown, he showed the bracelet that he stole from him, and said that he will keep it, and have it by his side, when he wins the Money In The Bank ladder match, and cashes it in, that same night. Adam Pearce later on told Drew, that he's going to have to earn a place in the match, this went down like a cup of cold sick.

Bron Breakker vs Ludwig Kaiser

I didn't like this. The match ended with a dq finish, when Sheamus got involved. I like sheamus. I just hate dq finishes.

The Judgement Day Segment

The Judgement Day looked they were loving Livs gifts. Except for Priest. Man those Chicken Nuggets do look good though.

Lyra Valkyria vs Shayna Baszler vs Kairi Sane MITB Qualifier

Lyra Valkyria, beat. Shayna Baszler, and. Kairi Sane in a decent tv match, to qualify for the womens Money In The Bank Ladder Match. I thought this was a well paced match, that needed more time.

Liv Morgan Segment

The Mullet lover came out next, and she was given the walk through camera shot, as every mans jaw fell to the flaw. She wasted no time in calling out her pray. The Human Oven, but she was met by Zelina Vega, who was in the mood to shut livs mouth, the pair had a tepid promo dual. The Human Oven came out, and told the mullet lover that he's not interested, and that he didn't like the gifts, he told Zelina, that he just wants to help her, but Zelina was having none of it, and Liv ended up attacking her. Rey Mysterio came out, to protect Zelina, but he ended up getting taken out by his own son, who essentially took the bullet, or in this case mullet, for Liv.

Braun Strowman vs Chad Gable vs Bronson Reed MITB Qualifier

Chad Gable, appeared to be fine as he picked up the win, and advanced to the mens. Money In The Bank Ladder Match, his promo beforehand screamed. I aint dead yet folks, but it was what unfolded afterwards, that captivated me. The lights went out, and Abbey crawled into the ring, Chad scarpered out of fear. Abbey handed Michael cole a gift, that was for Pat mcafe, a videotape was inside, later on in the broadcast, the video was played in full, and this was perfect. Bo sat with Uncle Howdy, in a Mick Foley esc split screen image, they spoke about the reliventcy of loneliness, and loss, after the untimely death of Bray Wyatt last year. Bo's real life brother. This. Was. Pefrect, and a real look into WWE's past creative tricks, with a much needed upgrade.

Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn vs Kayden Karter and Katana Chance

Alba Fyre, and. Isla Dawn, beat the party girls, and were then beaten down by Damage Ctrl. Yeah, I thought this fell a bit flat.

Damien Priest and Seth Rollins Segment

I liked all of this. Priest was out first, he spoke about how he has elevated the Heavyweight Championship, whilst reprosenting Monday Night Raw, he has relished the oppotunity to be champion, but he doesn't want to be anything like Seth. The man who likes to wear coates during summer came out, and instantly called Priest out, for non believibilty, because his actions and words don't mesh together, because he has thrived from interference finishes. Seth then played Priest at his own game, one upping him. If he loses, then he will never challenge for the Championship, whilst Priest is champion, and if he wins, then Priest will have to leave The Judgement Day. Gunther came out to wish them luck, and remind them, that he will face either one of them at Summerslam. Seth's promo video earler on was also great.

Kofi Kingston vs Karrion Kross

Karrion Kross, beat. Kofi Kingston. In a flat tv match, thanks to the rest of The Final Testament attacking Xavier woods.

Finn Balor and Jd Mcdonagh vs Awesome Truth WWE Tag Team Championship

What do you get, when you take. Liv Morgan. Braun Strowman. The Judgement Day, a whole heap of shenanigans, and. R Truth putting his foot in his mouth, well, the answer to that is this? A whole load of fun, and a title change. Finn, and Mcdonagh are our new Tag Team Champions, thanks to our friendly neighbourhood mullet lover. I had fun watching this.

Overview Of Monday Night Raw

I had a lot of fun watching this weeks Raw, yes their were some dud matches in this show, but they didn't hamper my enjoyment of the show.

This Weeks Monday Night Raw is a solid 7/10.

Aew Dynamite Review 20.6.2024

Intro

With Forbidden Door, at the time of writing just 10 days away. The road to Wembley is starting to take shape, with twists and turns, becoming the norm, with other rivalries starting to build beneath the surface, as a Pro Wrestling fan of nearly 30 years, I think times like these are important, because background rivalries are celebrated just as much as the main events, this evidentally clear on this weeks Dynamite.

MJF vs Rush

When I saw the match graphic for this match last week, I have to admit that I wasn't sold on this, but after seeing, i'm happy to admit, that I was wrong, because this was excellent. With the match being able to run commercial free in the States, this gave time for things to proceed naturally, from Max getting whipped like a goverment mule, with a cable, Rush giving him a nasty looking suplex to outside of the ring, but when Max gave Rush a lariot, this started to become his downfall, as Max got the win. but the evening wasn't over for him, when. Brian cage showed up on screen, by orders of The Elite, and they've booked his match for Forbidden Door. Hechicero, this is a smart piece of booking, when you look at both mens in ring style. And I can't wait to see it.

Mark Briscoe. Orange Cassidy. Dante Martin, and Kyle O'reilly segment

I only have two take aways from this segment, no1. Mark Briscoe is one fired up m***********, and the second is. F*** off Scapegoat. 

Osperay and Swerve segment

What came next was excellent. Will Osperay, and. Swerve Strickland had a fantastic promo dual, from both men taking differant roads, to get to were they are now, from reflections of last year, and beyond. Swerve brouht up how Will beat Kenny Omega, which caused Will to fire back, saying that he doesn't need Don Callis in order to get the win. to the importance of family, becoming Swerve's visceral talking point, after he said that Osperay doesn't sacrifice enough in order to succeed. Nana tried to intervene, and Swerve ended the segment by saying to Wills loved ones, this angered Will, as he tried to get to Swerve. Damn It Don Callis then acted like Ross from friends, because everything is fine. Someone tell Trent Barretta, and. Kyle Fletcher that. This is a divine piece of booking, the return of heel Swerve, has added another layer of visceral ugliness to the proceedings. This. Was. Perfect.

8 man tag match

I'm going to be honest, I'm not a big fan of 8 man tag team matches, but. In the words of Paramore, this could be. The Only Exception. Orange Cassidy. Kyle O'reilly. Mark Briscoe, and. Dante Martin, beat. Kyle Fletcher. Konosuke Takeshista. Roderick Strong, and. Zack Sabre Jnr, because why not. Sabre and cassidy had two face offs, the physicality had a nice flow to it, and the exchanges were great. Orange bollocks got the win, with an Orange punch, this was excellent.

The Young Bucks vs The Acclaimed Tag Team Championship Eliminator

I had a lot of fun watching this. From the great physicality, the near falls blending in with the match perfectly, to Max Castor having his mic cut, before his rap could even start, by Okada, who spoke in the funniest patronising tone. I'm so sorry. BITCH, to. The Acclaimed getting the win, and a shot at The Elites Tag Team Championships.

Hook and Joe Segment

Hook and Samoa Joe, went on the hunt for the Premier Athletes, they found their locker room empty, all bar a message that read. See on Collision. Come on boys, do it for all of us crisps lovers everywhere.

Womens Championship Contract Signing

I liked all of this. The segment made me laugh from the start, Mina put over how in Stardom Tony Storm was a legend, and now she is a star. But Tony had some words for her, chin up, tits out, and watch out for the shoe, this was when Mina told Marieh, who was on hosting duties, to make a choice. Saraya then came out, with. Harley Cameron to put a stop to all of this, and she told them, that she hasn't come alone. Ana Jay came out and attacked Mina, this allowed for a fight to break out. Toni nearly puts Saraya through a table, with a hip attack. This was a great way to end the segment.

Owen Hart Tournament QuarterFinal Kris Statlander vs Nyla Rose

Kris Statlander, beat. Nyla Rose in a solid tv match. In the aftermath Stokeley Hathaway took to the mic, and told Willow if she comes near Statlander, he would have her locked up next to Justin Timberlake. Willow showed up on the big screen, and said that she would see Kris, after she beats Serena Deeb. This wasn't bad.

Chris Jericho Segment

Chris Jericho. Big Bill, and. Bryan Keith, bumped into Private Party backstage. Jericho and Bill, will face Private Party on Collision this saturday. At this point should I even care.

Daniel Garcia vs Titus

Daniel Garcia, beat a local talent enhancer, in a pointless tv match. Daddy Magic was beaten up on commentary, by. The Gates Of Agony, and. Brian Cage, but they were saved by MJF. Will Osperay came out to help with the save, but he and will ended facing each other, this was perfect, and another piece of divine booking, as it keeps that plate spinning in the background. Renee Paquette tried to talk to Will in the aftermath, but. Brian Cage called Will out and tried to have a fight with him, security pulled them apart, and Cage challenged him to a match for his Aew International Championship. I liked all of this.

Owen Hart Tournament QuarterFinal Claudio Castagnoli vs Pac

I loved this tv main event. Bryan Danielson took to the commentary desk, and this added an extra layer to this outing. This. Was. A perfect example of the hard hitting european style, being laid bare for a world audience, and it was great to see. Pac got the win with a roll up.

Overview Of Aew Dynamite

This. To me, is one of the best Dynamite's of the year, with a strong card, and excellent promo work, this weeks show was excellent.

                                                  

                                                                                                                      

My Top 5 Kenny Omega Matches

Intro

Once every so often a wrestler comes along, with the it factor, they make you sit up in your chair, whether you're in the venue in person, watching as these feats of amazement as they are performed, or at home with loved ones. Kenny Omega is a performer of the highest calibre, and a sight to be seen, because, if like me you've watched him in person, then you will know that he's special, as he elevates those in the ring with him, whether its a tv classics with Penta, and. Bryan Danielson, or. PPV barnburners, with the likes of. Christian Cage. Hangman Adam Page, and. Will Osperay. I think the sentence generational talent is overused, especially in Pro Wrestling, but. Kenny Omega is something special, and I think that needs to be recognised. So without a due, sit back and relax, as you read. My Top 5 Kenny Omega Matches with a BANG.

Kenny Omega vs Hangman Adam Page Aew Full Gear 2020

Back in late 2020, the world was  in the grip of one of the worst things since ww2, and just when things felt bleak, a ray of sunshine slowly started to rear it's head, the first vaccination was just days away from being announced, and the world of wrestling felt inconsequential as a result, with WWE's viewership starting to dwindle due to, he shall not be named dodgy booking decisions, and. Aew putting their best foot forward, beating NXT weekly in the Wednesday Night Wars, but, what made Tony Khans upstart promotion stand out, was the quality that he enjoyed showcasing. Hangman Adam Page, and Kenny Omega, had a barnburner of a PPV match, from the intricate storythread detailed within the match. The physicality flowed like a nice craft beer, and I believe that on this night, was when The Hangman saga shifted more into focus. Kenny got the win, and Hangman would go on a downward spiral. I have a real love for this era of Aew, because their tv product was starting to get better, but their PPV's needed a bit of guidance, however this reminded me, that if you dig beneath the surface, you can find gold.

Hangman Adam Page vs Kenny Omega 2 Full Gear 2021

Fast forward one year, and the. Hangman Adam Page vs The Elite saga was close to reaching its climax, and. Aew's ratings for its flagship show Dynamite, was getting over 1 million viewers stateside, and it was going good business over here in the UK on ITV4, and the. Triller TV Fite app, which is how I view the show. Even though they had made great strides upto this point, bringing legends like. Sting. Christian Cage, and of course Cm Punk, but. what helped them along in those days, was. Tony Khans ability to tell longterm stories, that could grip any wrestling fans heart, and he managed to, when this match was pulled off. This. Was. The end of a two year story, that captivated me as a fan, from the back end of 2019, when The Elite started to take more prominance on weekly tv, this match couldn't afford to fail, and it didn't, the storythread was intricately worked, and the physicality blended itself into the story of the match perfectly. Kenny dropped the belt to Hangman, and both men would go differant paths. Hangman would go on to have a seven month reign as champion, defending it against the likes of Bryan Danielson. Adam Cole, and Lance Archer, before dropping the belt to Cm Punk, whilst Omega, wouldn't be seen in Aew for nearly ten months, as he needed time to recouperate from a shopping list of Injuries.

Kenny Omega vs Bryan Danielson Aew World Heavyweight Championship

September is arguably my favourite time of year, and wrestling always tends to be eventful, and this was no differant. Just three weeks before this tv special from, Grand Arthur Ashe stadium in New york. Aew had its inargural PPV All out, which was held in Chicago, and in my opinion, this was by far their best PPV at this point, and with Danielson making his debut at the end of the main event, and going straight into a feud with Kenny Omega, the stage was set for GrandSlam. The match was amazing. You could be fooled into thinking that was on a PPV, but no, us fans were getting it on standard tv, and it was glorious. I don't care that it went to a time limit draw, because I was hooked from the start, as two of modern wrestlings finest, put on a stunning clinic, that should easily make the industry, stand up and take notice. If I recall. I think Dave Meltzer gave this 5 stars, and if he didn't, then it doesn't matter, because this in my eyes, is a modern classic, no story needed, just two warriors battling it out. Pure genius personified.

Omega vs Okada 1 NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 2017

The year was 2017, the wrestling landscape was in a differant shape to what it is now. WWE had monopolised the indy scene just months before, by creating NXT UK, buying talent contracts from smaller promotions. Aew was just a glimmer in Cody Rhodes eye, and the names Kenny Omega, and Kazuchika Okada, were slowly becoming household names in NJPW, so it was enivitible that the two would eventually meet, and when they did, an epic battle took place, at this point in time NJPW, was becoming creatively bankrupt, as most of their talent was working stateside. Finn Balor signed with WWE, and. Ricochet would leave to go and work the UK, and. American Indy scenes, and. AJ Styles would also see an exit in his future, when. WWE came a calling, but with promising talent coming through like Will Osperay, and. Jay White, the future was starting to look up for the Japanese promotion, and this match was proof of that, a thrill ride from start to finish, and it was great to see. I don't care who won, because this sparked off, a professional rivalry, that has never lost its flame.

Will Osperay vs Kenny Omega Aew Forbidden Door 2023

This. Was. A solid masterclass, in best vs the best Storytelling, that i've seen in wrestling, yes their match at Wrestle Kingdom earlier in the year, was something to behold, but I think their summer 2023 match up was better. It felt fresher, and given the fact that Aew All In at Wembley, was just around the corner, this felt special because my brain went into overdrive, fantasy booking the daylights out of it. And it didn't disapoint, both men gave everything they had, and created magic, they doug deep into their arsenal of tricks, and gave the fans in attendance, and whose watching at home. Like me, something to marvel at, they wrestled for over 45 minutes, and even though some aspects of the match had to. Westernised to appease other global audiences in my opinion. This to me, is the best Omega has ever looked, because, even in victory. This man. Is a Golden God.

WWE Mondy Night Raw Review

Intro

Ok guys. I have to start with an apology. I was unable to do any reviews this past weekend. Over the past few weeks I have been feeling burntout, this is due to my day job, and the fact that i've been self publishing my own work for the past six months, and this weekend it all caught up with me, so I decided to take some time for myself. I did watch Smackdown, and. Clash At The Castle, and I thought they were both solid shows, and on the subject of. Clash At The Castle, lets get started.

Drew Mcintyre shows up

A pissed off Scotsman was seen showing up to the arena. Hhhmm I wonder if Drew is a juggallo.

Seth Rollins is back

The started off properly with the return off Seth Rollins. Seth came out looking like he was dressed as criminal drug lord, mixed in with the man from Delmonte. The fans were well up for this, he embraced the fans as they chanted his theme song, and. Seth welcomed us to Monday Night Rollins. He wasted no time in telling the fans, that he wants back, the belt that he made famous, it was at this point, that he started to notice the Money In The Bank Briefcases, hanging over the ring. He said that he is very familiar with how Money In The Bank works, and I have to say the prospect of him winning, doesn't feel me with excitement, but. I love this man. Seth Is one of favourites in modern day WWE. Damien Priest Came out, and the pair had a great promo dual, inwhich both men delved into their history, from forming groups, cashing in Money In The Bank Briefcases, and becoming champions, just one thing though lads, you forgot to mention that you're both ROH Alumni's, as. Punishment Martinez, and. Tyler Black, respectively. Priest then challenged Seth to a Match at Money In The Bank, for his World Heavyweight Championship. The Judgement Day, and the ever loving story of the mullet chaser, would be an episode long story. Human Oven Stay away from the women with your vest. This would later on piss off Priest. I'm starting to get real Mrs Krobopple vibes from the mullet chaser. I  loved the segment before hand.

Chad Gable vs Braun Strowman

Chad Gable was seen goin into the office of Adam Pearce, and he acted like a spoilt child, blaming everyone for his failures and not himself, he blamed his Alpha Academy faction, and asked Pearce for a match against anyone, he would later on get decimated by Braun Strowman, this would act as the final straw for his faction, because they left after he verbally, and, physically berrated them. Otis. Tazawa, and. Maxxine would later leave him. Good on you three for standing up for what you believe in. I think Chad will get his revenge, by winning the Money In The Bank, and cashing it in, which is something that Otis never did.

Iyo Sky vs Velina Vega vs Kiana James Money In The Bank Qualifier

Iyo Sky, beat. Velina Vega, and. Kiana James, in a solid three way match. Liv Morgan came out wearing the Human Ovens war vest, and my god she's laying it on thick isn't she. When The Human Oven tried to get it back later on. It felt like Mrs Krobopple teasing Aerosmiths drummer, well that's the vibes I got from this all show long.

Sami Zayn Segment

I liked all of this, even if it did drag on a bit. Sami came out, and he was fired, as he told the fans that he's still our Intercontinental Championship. He told the fans that he's done with chad Gable, and so his faction should give him a wide birth, and from now on, he's going to defend against anyone, and everyone. Bron Breakker then came out, and he laid out his intentions for him wanting Sami's belt, because sami is next in line to get smashed. Sheamus then came out, and all of a sudden, this turned into a promotrain. Sheamus and Bron, had a mini promo dual, within the segment, which Sami stood in the centre of, and told them that he's going to have a word with Adam Pearce, and see if he can get them booked in a match later on. He followed through on this, and. Sheamus, and Bron would have a match later on, and it ended in a dq, thanks to Ludwig Kaiser getting involved. Yeah, the match itself wasn't great.

Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre

Our new womens Tag Team Champions, were backstage being interviewed by Jackie Redmond, and over came. Shayna Baszler, and. Zoey Stark, who said that when the time is right, they want a shot at the belts. Basically they acted like schoolyard bullies, keen to piss on someones chips.

Dragon Lee vs Carlito

Ok. I don't know what to make of this match, other than it made question my life choices. It was a Shenanigans filled waste of time. Carlito got the win, and if i'm being honest. I don't care.

Drew Mcintyre segment

As I started to unfold. I couldn't help but think, there was an air of the unpredictble to this segment. And I was right. Because. Drew quit, no words no nothing, he just walked out. HHH tried to talk to him, but failed. Adam Pearce tried to console him but failed, the walk through shot was great, as the chant of Cm Punk started to fade in the arena. Drew walked out into the night. I think this is a way to write him off tv, for personal reasons.

Dakota Kai and Kairi Sane vs Katana Chance and Kayden Karter

Kayden Karter, and. Katana Chance, beat. Damage Ctrl in a flat tv match, thanks to. lyra Valkyria. I wasn't sold on this match at all.

Jey Uso vs Rey Mysterio vs Finn Balor MITB Qualifier

I liked all of this. The Physicality that was on display was great, and even though there was some shenanigans, i didn't ruin my enjoyment of what i was watching. Jey got the win with a splash. He celebrated with the fans, and just when the lights on the fans phones turned on, the arena lights went out, and what  happened afterwards, was nothing short of captivating. Brays door opened up, and a creepy woman crawled out onto the stage, she stood up, and pointed were the camera should go. And what was caught on film, was the after effect of carnage, the backstage production area was decimated, bodies laid on the floor, and. Chad Gable was seen laid out, with blood coming out of his head. Each Member showed themselves, and then in he walked. Uncle Howdy, even though there was only 5 members shown on stage. I think the sixth member is Bray Wyatts legacy, the lantern was blown as the words. Were here, echoed around the arena, and world. WWE need to heed with caution, as their is a lot riding on this. I have made it known, that I wasn't a fan of the qr codes, the second time around, because I feel, that if you do something once, then you should try something new, when coming up with a reinvention, but when there's someones legacy involved, caution should be a key word. I hope WWE gets this right going forward, because. The Wyatt Sicks are here, and life is going to get interesting, on Monday nights.

Overview Of Monday Night Raw

This. Was. A news filled episode of weekly tv, from. Drew quiting live on air, the return of Seth Rollins, and of course the debut of The Wyatt Sick, however the in ring action, fell a bit by the wayside, ranging from good to average. Yes, this was a news worthy episode of Raw, but at what cost?

This weeks Monday Night Raw, is a solid 7/10.

Aew Dynamite Review 13.6. 2024

Intro

With WWE's Clash At The Castle, and. Aew, and. NJPW Forbidden Door, all coming up this month, it feels like both North American Company's, are making us fans feel like the prettiest girls at the dance, by giving uu, all of this great Wrestling to consume, this is why I love the summertime as a wrestling fan, because like Christmas, and. Mania season, their's just something special about this time of year.

Swerve Strickland Segment

I liked all of this, from. Swerve's boxing terminology, to him not wasting anytime and calling out. Will Osperay. All of Wills matches last year were epic and  great, ( except the Jericho match at Wembley ) and. Swerve acknowledged that, by calling Will an assasin, but if he wants to beat him for his belt, then he will have to aim harder, because. Swerve is a killer, and Will Isn't, he said that he respects him for being a fighting Champion, unlike. The Elite, who made their unwanted pressents felt. Matt Jackson took the mic after Okada nearly wet himself with laughter, and asked. Swerve if he would be on their side, at. Blood And Guts, after they ran down all of their achievements, they tried to buy Swerve with gifts, a pair of their new shoes, but, our Champion was having none of it, and chucked them into the fans, to the delight of a guy sitting in the front row, whilst also insulting Matt Jacksons. Marge and Lisa simpson esc pearl necklace. The Acclaimed then came out, but. Adam Pearce, sorry. I mean. Christopher Daniels, wasn't going to put up with this, and told everyone to clear out, except for Jack Perry, who was going to have his TNT Championship Ladder Match Qualifier, against. Dustin Rhodes, next.

Dustin Rhodes vs Jack Perry TNT Championship Qualifier 

This. Was. A bloodsoaked battle, that I had fun watching, at 7.15am here in the UK. Dustin got busted open the hardway on concrete, which I think limited his moveset, but it made sense to the story. Perry called a shot to Kenny Omega, that. Dustin managed to put a stop to, but it was Dustins never say die attitude that became his downfall, after he took another ddt on the concrete, this was a bitter end to a good match, when Perry put him away with a Knee. I. Really liked this, sadly I don't think were going to be seeing much more of Dustin, because I think he's nearing retirement, and with his contract coming up at the end of the year. I think this could be a good time to ride off into the sunset. From personal demons, to becoming a shining beacon in the industry. Godspeed Dustin Rhodes, there will never be another you.

6 man Tag Match

Kyle Fletcher. Roderick Strong, and Konosuke Takeshista, beat. Orange Cassidy. Mark Briscoe, and. Kyle O'reilly in a fun solid outing. The in ring work had a great feel to it, because the longer it went, the better it got, this would be a running theme throughout the broadcast.

Rush vs Deonn Rush

Rush, beat. Deonn Rush in a standard tv match, but it was the aftermath that stole the moment. Rush was about to commint murder on live tv, that was until MJF came out, the two had a brawl, that went everywhere, from the fans, to the backstage area. I loved this, also am I the only person who got real Hal, from. Malcolm In The Middle vibes from this, you when in the second season of the show, there was an episode in which he had random fights with some guy, just me then, oh well. Sorry I got the match, and segment upside down.

Shingo Tagagi

Shingo is coming to Aew, and he's entering the Owen Hart Tournament. Ok this is going to be good.

Premier Athletes vs Samoa Joe and Hook

Ok. I pissed myself laughing at this, because my guys Hook, and. Samoa Joe, took these fools out, in a match that has revived my faith in the human spirit, because these guys took the fight for crisp lovers everywhere, justice people it's a real thing. Shibata as a cameraman is just genius. Smart Mark Sterling was taken out by shibata, my guys won with a red rum.

Mercedes Mone vs Veuxis TBS Championship Match

Mercedes Mone retained her TBS Championship against. Veuxis. In a decent tv match.

Toni Storm Segment

Marieh May informed her adoptive mum, that Mina Shirikawa will be at Dynamite next week, for a contract signing, this should be interesting. Her promo beforehand was interesting.

TV Time With The Learning Tree Chris Jericho

Even though i'm not the biggest fan of Chris Jericho nowadays, this was actually not bad, it was poor. Big Bill brought out his mentor Chris Jericho, all Jericho did was speak a load of bollocks about corn, and not the good Korn that I like. His guests were Private Party, and this fell apart quickly, and never recovered. Chris tried to teach them how to climb the top rope, like the smug p**** that he's portraying, this fell apart, and ended in a brawl. I wasn't a fan of this at all.

The Bang Bang Gang Segment

The Gunns, and. Juice Robinson, called out. The House Of Black.

Daniel Garcia vs Nick Commorotto

Daniel Garcia, beat. The Thing from the Fantastic Four, whilst. Will Osperay, and. MJF watched on from backstage. Renee Paquette Interviewed Will afterwards, she had her working shoes on tonight.

Will Osperay vs Rey Fenix Aew International Championship

What can I say about this match, other than. This. Was. Sensational. I could sit here and go through this, beat by beat. But it wouldn't do it justice. Swerve sat at ringside, and Will handed him the contract for the Championship match, the chant of. This. Is. Awesome, started before the match could begin, and what transpired was a contrast of styles, that was great to see, This indeed was a steller main event. Will retained his belt, and had a fantastic face off with Swerve, this was turned up to a 100 when. Swerves belt accidentally ended up in Wills hands. Swerve Whispered in his ear, that if they weren't friends, he would end anyone's life if they do that to him. A great match, with a flawless conclusion, and I loved it.

Overview Of Aew Dynamite

This. To. Me is Aew at its best, good to great matches, being backed up with some solid promo work, and as Tony Khan continues to spin two PPV Plates, at the same time, I get the feeling that his little train that can, is getting back to its roots, and I'm liking what I'm seeing.

This Weeks Dynamite is a solid 9/10.
