LUKE: The best ones will be read out on today's WrestleTalk Podcast

Comments

This was a fantastic episode of dynamite . Rush v Mjf was a fun brawl, and I love how everyone on the show wants the aew title even if they want or have other titles like that’s the ultimate prize. I thought for a second Kevin knight killed speedball! CEO CEO🤲👐 CEO the main event was wild and when Say My Full Name The Protostar Kyle Fletcher ran in my heart stopped. Crazy night of wrestling and honestly I think this might be the most consistently good dynamite has ever been! I bet 1 American dollar that Billy is better than 6 wrestlers this week!

Don Callis may have hundreds of people in his family, but the guy can't afford denture glue to keep the chiclets in his mouth

Joe Gleeson

Hey guys, slightly odd question here. I'm going to All in London and this will be my first stadium wrestling show. I've been to loads of wrestling shows in Dublin but never to a massive stadium show. As someone who is Neurodivergent I am always overthinking my preparation and what I need to bring etc. Do you or the comments here and on YouTube have any advice for a 1st time traveller to Wembley? Much love, though Dynamite was a lot of fun!

Noah Fortner

I have Will Osprey’s theme stuck in my head at least once a day. Does he have the best current theme in wrestling if not him then who does?

Ben Pavett

Excellent episode tonight. (just a few notes) MJF vs Rush was pretty good Mercedes Mone returning was cool. Lio Rush’s entrance with the conglomeration on the ramp was actually quite funny. That main event was incredible. Is Will Ospreay even capable of having a bad match? Honestly I think I am starting to prefer AEW over WWE now. If this was an indicator of what to expect for All In, I may buy a ticket.

Morgan Hill

Has there ever been a more consistent run of good shows in episodic wrestling TV? It's genuinely been about half a year since they've put on a bit of a stinker

Marcin Saturday

The first indie show I ever went to had Lio Rush on it. I had only ever consumed WWE and Lio blew my mind, he showed me what wrestling could be. My first wrestling shirt I ever bought was his. That was 10 years ago and watching him flounder on WWE had me frustrated and I was so excited to see him on AEW with this new Gimmick. The presentation is attention grabbing, the music is haunting, his presence and character is all there, yet it feels like AEW has no idea what to do with him. If he's a character that loses all the time that's fine but I feel like there's something you can do to make his character more meaningful than just a glorified jobber. For someone like Lio, who is insanely talented and clearly knows how to play a character, it doesn't make sense, but the longer this goes on the more I'm getting Deja Vu to Danhausen in AEW. I hope they can push this in a direction that is worthy of Lio's performance because otherwise it's just another wasted opportunity for another insanely talented wrestler. (I always intend on a short comment, but I can't stop myself from a rant)

Don

Great episode of Dynamite especially the main event. With as much time as Kevin Knight spent eating Speedball's feet, have we seen what fetish the Jet has? Glad to see the CEO back. Now the women's division has some star power outside of Thekla. More importantly, it gives Oli a chance to dance again. I feel that Omega/Ospreay/Death Riders is following similar story beats as Karate Kid 3. Ospreay (Daniel) wanted a mentor and friend, Omega (Mr. Miyagi), but Omega wasn't readily available for Will, so he gets trained by the cool new sensei, Mox (Terry Silver). Ospreay is becoming more dangerous under the new sensei's tutelage, but he's giving up his soul to do so. I think Redemption is the start of the 2nd phase of the story. It allows Omega to beat MJF which redeems the God of Pro Wrestling of his loss and sets up Omega/Ospreay at All In where Ospreay makes his choice, either follow the One-Winged Angel or ride into the Valley of Death with Mox pressuring him ringside to hurt Kenny. Ospreay wins, but does it his way which causes the DR to turn on him shortly thereafter. Maybe I'm fantasy booking too hard, but I can see this happening. Also, I think the whole "I wasn't ready" story was told better by MJF and Darby than what's happening with Brock/Oba. Anyway lads, thanks for the entertaining podcast. Jam that jam and Cobra Kai never dies

Victor Oceguera

Mercedes coming back was exactly the thing this women’s division needed I wonder if they knew willow was hurt and then they did her leaving the tournament on purpose for Mercedes return?

StonedPhone

Great episode but can we please talk about Lio Rush for a second. I've always loved his wrestling, he's talented and great. This current character is wonderful in my opinion. BUT does it have a ceiling? I cant really see him win a title. I dont mind that he always loses but I'm afraid soon they'll do to him what they did to Abadon. Just pull him out around Halloween for spooky time.

Vic Cutting

Incredible episodes of dynamite, I adored the main event, but I want to take a second to thank thekla for carrying the women’s division on her back, this promo was incredibly entertaining and I hope the forbidden door match is her vs syuri. Jam that jam

maxEthen

Last year the Owen Hart Semifinal between Ospreay and Takeshita made me fall in love with AEW and I think this year's Ospreay vs Davis was even better. Especially the near fall at the end made me think "that's it, Davis is gonna win this" even though I knew Ospreay has to win the belt at all in. Also hopefully now we can finally get the full on Death Riders/DCF Feud im waiting for since Mox's Face Turn. All time Episode and I fucking love professional Wrestling.

Wahab Fares

At what number does a “family” turn into a bald man’s cult?

Chris

Generally speaking, you dont need to bring too much to the show itself, they dont allow you to have too much on you (the stadium website itself usually has details) For getting there, London public transport is pretty good and youll certainly see the crowd when you get there! A travel app can be really helpful. I use CityMapper- when you arrive in London itll realise you're there and load their maps. You just pop in where you're going and it will generate how to get there The underground are just tap on and off with your card as you go in and out (no need to do it between trains if you're changing underground routes)

Kevin Fleuriot

Kevin Knight in the Don Callis Family is probably a sign that more people will leave the family soon (Andrade being the most obvious candidate). But it's so interesting that everyone in the family is gunning for the World title. A very good episode, focused on the in ring action, a very good promo from Mark Briscoe, and Ospreay vs Davis is up there with my favorite TV matches of the year.

JonoabboFE

Great show from a wrestling perspective and some cool story developments but man by the time the bell rung the winner of every match was already decided. Jet wasn't dropping the belt in the midcard when he has just joined the DCF with Don and Jake lurking at ringside, Mercedes wasn't losing on her big return, and Ospreay, Briscoe, and MJF were also definitely never losing those matches. They were still enjoyable watches but lacked any real sense of drama that would have really elevated any of the big 4 matches here to the upper echelon.

Joe Gleeson

Ah brilliant I'll get that app ready thanks a lot!

JonoabboFE

I didn't realise Luke's family had grown that much!

MasterNate

The brawl between the Callis family and the Death Riders was certainly a fun and chaotic way to end things, and it makes me wonder if this could be the build for our next stadium stampede/blood and guts, again coming with a larger lineup for the match

Brady Murphy

I’ve already expressed my thoughts on how important AEW Redemption will be for the ongoing stories in this company. I still believe Redemption will be a huge show for Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay, but I now believe someone should earn their Redemption at this show more. Speedball Mike Bailey should take the TNT Championship from that turncoat Kevin Knight in Montreal. Of all my fantasy booking for Redemption, this is now what I want the most. Speedball should take the Jet down, he should take the Dong Phallus family down (thank you Kyle O’Reilly), and he should become the new face of TNT. Just imagine weekly Speedball championship bangers.

Wayne Proctor

Realised every week recently AEW seems to give me a match I never knew I wanted to see. These last weeks convinced me to do ALL IN for first time this year. Super excited

carlos cervantes

I lost my voice screaming at the show tonight, so hopefully we sounded good on tv. i thought RUSH looked like a legit world title challenger tonight. I assume this was done here because an Andrade challenge can actually be at forbidden door? The main event was overbooked, but i had a lot of fun with it. I have some complaints about the direction some people are going (mainly Kevin Knight), but I honestly have to just give AEW the benefit of the doubt at this point and trust the process.

Richard Glasby

The crowd must not have been mic'd properly which is a shame, but they seemed really into it.ast match was a banger I can't wait to see what happens with will and mox

Adam Cav bae bae

Another great week of wrestling. Although I think the main event was a tad overbooked I still loved the show this week. Storylines moved forward, great pace of show(personaly think 2hr20 to 2hr30 is perfect length for show) Got me excited about forbidden door,and most importantly reinforced my descion I made this week to say F it I'm coming across the pond to London for All in. Hope there is some kind of wrestletalk meet up that week. Jam that Jam.

Findlay

8 better wrestlers than Billy Gunn

Homerstar

I was hoping that Hayter would be the Wildcard, but it is nice to see Mercedes back. Now that we have a star in the women’s division, maybe TK will finally starting treating it seriously. I could see Mone winning the tournament and the belt at All In.

Real One's Georgie Tuffs

Hope they do MJF and Andrade at Grand slam Mexico, that crowd would be fire!

Diarmuid Burke

As a casual Stardom fan, I'm not sure how many wrestlers there are on the roster are big enough to have a World Title match in the US, but not so big that they can afford to lose. Maybe Maki Itoh or Maika? I'd love it to be Syuri, especially since she responded to Thekla's promo on Twitter. Is there any chance someone like her could even win and drop it to Moné at All In?

Ph7

While this was another great episode of Dynamite, it pales in comparison to Clash in Italy. Sure, it featured two great title matches, an awesome return and a freaking phenomenal main event, but Clash in Italy just had such an amazing crowd, and you just can't compete with that ;)

Jamie Brown

Why was Andrade dressed as a 1930’s beat reporter in his pep talk to Rush?

Jamaal Ellison

Last week, after MJF overcame arguably his toughest challenge yet after defeating Darby Allin, who does the company have him face next, Mark Briscoe? I audibly cringed; keep him out of the main event. I have no problem with him personally; I just don't see him as a main eventer. I don't see Tony pulling the trigger on him and making him a champion. So this feels like a filler feud; it feels superfluous.

Sir Fudds Pennyworth

Don't know what the hell has possessed Tony Khan to just keep putting on ppv quality shows regularly on tv, but I'm all here for it. Do you worry however that that might create some diminishing returns though over time? Or do we perhaps feel this way about every show because AEW is white hot right now?

Matt E

Chris Jericho Adam Copeland Christian Cage Mike Bailey Kyle O'Reilly Josh Alexander Evil Uno Luther Here are 8 Canadian wrestlers all currently employed by AEW. None of which have won the Owen and very few of which have even competed in it. This tournament has nothing to do with Owen and they lose the purpose/cause for the tournament more and more every year. Stop using a dead legend's name to prop up your awkwardly booked tournament if you've got 0 reason to do so. #StopCallingItTheOwen

Luther Black

Stone Cold Jon Moxley, you rascal

Mark Robertson

I thought the show was bookended by two fantastic matches, the will vs davis match was unreal . Last week I posted about the flow and layout of the episode feeling more like WWE and my theory was TK trying to capture some of the lapse WWE fans. This week also had a feel of the same due to the heavy promos especially the stretch with Bristol, Andrade, Thekla and knight all getting mic time. That put a dampener on the show for me as it was too much but god dam that final match was excellent

Bonzo

The ending was so good, had a proper attitude era chaotic ending feel about it! Thought Oli was going to run in as the backup ref in his VERY fashionable green shirt

Vault-Tec Doormamu

Yet another up in coming wrestler who just turned red hot has been sucked into the Don Callis family mid-card vortex. And for what reason?? It’s getting tiresome

Lawson Douvier

Spectacular episode. In ring was great, Mercedes return, that main event was wildly fun. We even had Don Callis’ dentures making an appearance! If Kairi’s non-compete is up by forbidden door, I think her returning to Stardom and defending its honor against Thekla would be great. Fix your hearts or die, as Excalibur so wonderfully signed off.

Riley Finlayson

Another great episode. I really want Andrade to have the world title at some point. He's a beast in the ring, the calibre of matches he could deliver when given that main event spot. No im not biased by the take off your pants chants at Grand Slam Aus. Give him a run. Hes a beast.

Russell M Triton

Great show by how it stated and finished. Constantly rewarding the viewers who have watched regularly by referencing previous storylines.

Brody Allsep

Here's hoping this just means Athena is winning the whole thing. Will and Windsor winning as Mr. And Mrs. and then going to All In would have been a nice moment, but maybe it was just too early for Windsor to seem at main event level. Was tired of Mone before she left, so we'll see if she can make me care again.

Sam Sullivan

Mercedes being back is always a positive, and hopefully will lead to better women's booking on the shows, but I can't lie it feels like the most boring possible answer to "who is the wildcard?" - especially when it's felt like they might be setting up tension between Windsor and Hayter

Sam Sullivan

Also, Excalibur ending the show with the Twin Peaks "fix your hearts or die" reference for the first show of Pride Month was awesome

Versek

I think the crazyness of the end of the Ospreay match actually feeds into the Kenny thing they have going as well. Kenny says he'll be there but what was he going to do? Fight the entire DCF by himself? Ospreay teaming with the Death Riders is objectively smarter than trying to bring in Kenny.
