OLI: The best ones will be read on the WrestleTalk Podcast. I remembered it this time.

Comments

Dalton Johnson

Fletcher vs Kommander made me giddy for what Fletcher vs Bandido will be at the PPV.

Mr. Grimes

Good job for remembering Oli. I'm really proud of you :)

Jonathan Ortega

Kenny Vs Will aka Oli and Luke’s wettest of dreams ( wettest of dreams your next premium live event)

Naveed Naqi

Cannot wait for the inevitable Fletcher vs Okada vs Takeshita at All In

M_A Gamer

Im currently at the show right now and it's really fun. I haven't been a huge follower of AEW since 2021 when I got fully bored of pandemic wrestling. Now Im seriously considering getting back into it.

Don

Great episode. Fastest show in wrestling. My one issue was during the Kenny Omega promo against Kevin Knight. When he said "no one needs Don" all I could think was "What did I do?" Looking forward to Redemption, especially Fletcher v Bandido. I wouldn't be surprised if All In has a triple threat with Fletcher/Okada/Takeshita for the title. Also, Jericho can't stop riding Big Bill/Cass's coattails

Seth Colegrove

I know it isn't a popular opinion, but Ospreay in the Death Riders doesn't work for me. They are doing a great job telling the story, I just don't like the story. Some of it is my love for NJPW, and Ospreay's offense when Callum called him a Death Rider, but it is mostly he hated these guys, and he's not only training with them, he's joined them. Ospreay is the best in the world, so he'll make it work, but I think there was probably a better path to Wembley for him.

Another great episode of Dynamite! Opened with a banger for the Tag Titles, with Oku’s favourite kind of wrestlers in the tweener Death Riders. I say that in jest, but I actually really like them being situational heels depending on the opponent. Enjoyed Doyle vs Andrade and, as always it’s F Don Callis, no changes there. Fletcher vs Komander was excellent and his match with Bandido at Redemption should be another superb title defence. Omega and Ospreay had a nice back and forth on the mic, adding Kevin Knight was also a good move. Kenny saying he sees something in him feels sincere and non kayfabe, but helps the storyline too. Loved the main event as well, so it’s two big thumbs up from me! 👍🏻👍🏻

Don

Also, I'm pretty sure Brody doing a tope suicida was used for a scene from Final Destination 2

Butch Rosser

Good show, though of course it's a step down from last week's. My biggest takeaways come from the International title match: Komamder would be fine getting a cup of coffee with the International down the line, let him go to CMLL and indies around the world putting on 12 - 20 minute Lucha clinics. And seeing Kyle Fletcher live two weeks ago and in this title defense reminds me of '01 Angle: probably the best technical wrestler in the company, can toggle the switch between stooge and menacing effortlessly, and can be counted on to have a great match with anybody you got. Fletcher/Bandido is going to be ridiculously good at Redemption.

I'm new to AEW and am really impressed with the in-ring action (Kenny Omega vs. MJF last week was fantastic). I am not up to date with all the storylines yet (listening to your Thursday reviews has helped), and find the title hierarchy a little confusing, but the matches are always good and the show is paced in a way that it never feels like we are just waiting around for stuff to happen. Maybe I am too used to WWE's emphasis on entrances, but I do wish the wrestlers' entrance music was piped directly into the broadcast audio feed, instead of sounding like someone put a microphone in front of a boombox speaker. Also, sorry about England's elimination from the World Cup, but even if they'd won and gone on to the final match, Brock Lesnar probably would have just cost them the championship anyways.

Brendy

Oli is back, that means the B. William Gunn Ass Index is back! Sorry Billy, but I predict Dan will choose every woman wrestler over you

squevin

I was at the show, first wrestling event I’ve been to in nearly 10 years. Crowd felt electric all night. My non-wrestling friends I was with were going crazy for Fletcher/Komander. Awesome show, a bit sad Andrade’s not going for the world title right now but I still have hope. AEW is amazing right now.

Dukect

Hey you remembered that's amazing Oli. Anyway, a very good dynamite.I like the stories getting pushed forward. I liked Kevin Knight promos with Omega. Is there still good in Kevin? I don't know I think it's too early for him to come back to the angels just yet. But I think later next year around continental classic that should be his road to redemption. Also Brian Cage vs Darby Allin what is this 2020.

Jerrod Hazelwood

Amazing show, and I absolutely love when they do shows at arenas like this. It adds to the idea that everyone there is a "sicko."

Evan

What a show, what a crowd! But seriously, this show was another great episode of wrestling television. All the matches were great in their own way. But the real highlight was The Death Rider saga. Kenny and Jon in the ring together on the same side but crucially in between Will and Kenny. The symbolism is thick, chump mark Adam Corona is wrong. Kenny won't be turning heel, if anything it's going to be Will Ospreay slowly becoming corrupted by the Death Riders until he owns them. People forget that last time Kenny and Will faced at Wembley was because Will needed it. He needed to be better than Kenny and like Jon says people don't change.

Brandon

Kommander vs Kyle was amazing. rest of the show was fine I guess. I want Chris Jericho to retire

Brent

Good episode of Dynamite. Got some advancement of angles and matches for Redemption. I don't mind Jericho at all. Part of it is definitely I didn't experience him during his latter days being the Learning Tree but I know how much people hated Jericho at the end of it. As along as Clampa wins at Redemption, I'm cool with Jericho. No mention of the Hangman Page promo on Collision. Also no MJF but I totally understand why he wouldn't be on the show. But no Thelka or the Sisters of Sin to beat up Divine Dominion and Mone after the match is odd. Heel vs Heel is odd already but commit fully into it. I been thinking about the 4 midcard belts and feel like there's needs to be a hierarchy or at least something that separates them for the rest. The Continental has the 20 minute time limit and no one at ringside. The other 3 are the same right now. Personally I would keep the TNT title as a belt that gets defended on Dynamite/Collision never on PPV (the champion could be on the PPV for something that doesn't involved defending the title). Then I would merge the other 3 belts into the InterContinental National Title with the Continental rules. But if all 4 belts must exist, the International should be defended throughout the entire world. If an AEW wrestler wins it in America, then their next defense should be in Mexico, Japan, UK, Canada, or somewhere that isn't America. National will be similar to the World title.

Kitty Kat

Wasn't too into the idea of Kevin vs Omega when I first heard it, but that segment with Kenny, him and Ospreay sold me on it. Kenny mirroring Hangman with the "leave Don behind" thing when Kyle challenged for the world title was a very nice touch. I'm also very happy we're getting Darby vs Kevin on a tv show and saving Kevin vs Speedball for All In.

Brody Allsep

What was that you were saying again about Mercedes coming back as a face? Thekla has been great as Champion, but I think she might get to do more after what looks to be Willow winning to set up her vs Moné, with a possible All Out rematch after Moné likely wins at All In. Would be all for an extended title feud between Willow and Moné for the matches they would put on.

Brody Allsep

Happy for Andrade to finally find a good place to be and be putting in good work. I do have trouble with his accent sometimes. Did anybody catch that one bit he said? Might need some help translating. Sounded something like "No vuelve a casa." Idk my Spanish has always come across a bit Messi!

Victor Oceguera

Taking the belt off of Takeshita feels messy when they plan on doing the triple threat Fletcher could’ve beat him there and then you could do the jealousy angle between him and okada BUT FLETCHER VS KOMANDER WAS AWESOME

rhuds 06

Well done Oli for remembering this time big improvement

TheWalkingLimp

Very pleased with that episode of Dynamite with amazing matches from top to bottom, Andrade v Doyle & Fletcher v Komander being the standouts personally. Also wanna add that was a real sickening thud Darby's head made bouncing off that ring post I wouldn't be surprised if his match next week against Knight gets called off due to him having a concussion

RedHood93

I am excited for Omega vs Knight, even if the ending is obvious. I feel like we need to move past the Don Kallis family at this point I am not even fully sure whose in it

MoOnaMission

Nothing to say on AEW, just want to say you guys mentioning Hustle made me wonder if I had any local shows happening. Turns out we had a RevPro show in town last week so I took my dad and it was absolutely unbelievable. Stupidly good entertainment for the price you pay. Already looking to book the next show in town.

cc

Omega and Ospreay are the best to do it in the ring. But that was one of the most cheeseball dork promo segments I've ever seen. "A real life Goku vs Vegeta" Why do wrestlers find it so hard to be cool?

Gavin Leonard

I enjoy AEW on a week to week basis but this week felt like major filler. Andrade going for the national title after being pegged as a world title guy is wild.

RLT Sandwich

Knight vs Omega gives me the same vibe of Fletcher vs Hangman at All Out last year. Elevate the younger talent up the card by testing them in the main event of a PPV with a solid hand and proven main eventer. I hope Knight has the match of his life. Also, Fletcher vs Bandido at Redemption? Pardon my lewdness but I got a boner for that.

Joey Spade

Kenny Omega said the championship is coming home, and he delivered. England, on the other hand…

Pogo is here

wtf do you mean theres a PPV a week from sunday that sneaked up on me lol.

Vic Cutting

Good show, redemption looks overall great, but I really hope Kevin knight does well in this main event position

Adam Cav bae bae

So the grand plan Moxley had going all the way back to the death riders origins was to change the company into his vision. Now 2 of the top baby faces are Walking the Moxley way.

Wahab Fares

I’m so tired of champions going after other championships, I get that Knight’s been trying the “two belts” stuff but it makes his championship worthless if he’s not doing anything with it

Marlo Ramirez

The only Painmaking Jericho does these days are in having to watch his segments.

Diarmuid Burke

Here's a consistent issue with Dynamite you never hear people talk about - I wish AEW would mute the crowd during pretapes and backstage segments. You could head the crowd loudly entertaining themselves during the Moxley segment and it really took away from what should have been some really effective TV. This seems to happen every couple of weeks.

Florian Groß

Even though I had a hard time really getting into the first half, this was another great episode. Especially Kyle vs. Komander was fantastic! And I am more excited than I expected for Omega vs. Knight, that segment did hype me up quite well.

KFizzle4

As soon as Will mentioned their match being 'Goku vs. Vegeta,' all I could think was that Kenny was going to come out at All In with the majin 'M' painted on his head. Kenny will be the Vegeta here, and he's turning heel for sure.

Reece Hatfield

Another great show as usual. The Fletcher Vs Kommander match was fantastic, and it was nice to see Divine Dominion get more that 5 minutes. The interaction between Mox and Omega was really interesting, I don't know where they're going with this but I'm here for the ride. The only thing I'm not into is the tag title picture. Neither the dogs or Cage and Cope are doing it for me, I'm just waiting for the bucks to win and All In.

Misha Sumra

I want Thekla/Moné at All In though. Toxic Spider at Wembley, or we riot

Misha Sumra

Young Bucks T-shirt game on point. Kofi & Creed confirmed for All In debuts

Kevin Fleuriot

Very good show with a very good crowd. Willow is probably the only person from New York getting cheered in Boston, that's how beloved she is. MJF vs Andrade at All In could be a good direction but I don't know if it should be for the National Championship.

B3nasaurusR3x

Friends, I’m really wrestling (pun intended) with the idea of that dirtbag chump mark Adam Corona shooting the moon. There’s a little too much love going on between Kenny and Will and it smells to me like a classic reverse Anakin/Obi-wan switch-a-roo. But then I noticed something. It was just a feeling at first. A little bell ringing far off in my periphery. But the more I looked, the more I couldn’t ignore it. And then the weight of it all it hit me… “Loser scum chump mark Adam Corona” is an anagram for “Vincent Kennedy McMahon”! That’s how he knows! Will this alleged “Adam Corona” respond to these salacious claims? The people deserve answers!! Viva la Wrestletalk!!

J Will Rule You!

Is it just me or are they hunting at Mox vs Will for the title? Also great to see Kommander back! He's incredible, kinda plays the Rey Mysterio/Chavo Guerrero role of the Smackdown 6

Brent

All the comments about Andrade going after the National title is a step down since he isn't going after the World title is a bit wrong. The main point is that Andrade wants to screw Don over and taking away the National title is a way of doing that. In Andrade's eyes, it doesn't matter what title from the Don Callis family he takes it from but taking away a toy from Don is more important. Sure it makes the National title less important but in terms of Andrade vs Don feud, it's important.

RealDoubleJ

I feel like AEW should have one of those workplace counters that's now set to "0 days since Jericho made us sit through his Painmaker gimmick"

JJ Bittenbinder

It didn't come home lads, close but no cigar. How you holding up? Goddamn Argentina Hogan, same top star always playing the finals. Messi, more like...uhm, messy booking, am I right? Infantino, worst booker of the year. Condolences from a Belgian, cue R.E.M.-Everybody Hurts

RichGang4$

kick outs at one are better than Billy Gunn Welcome back Oli!

TheChiefin

Honestly Dynamite last night was fine set up a bunch of matches for the Redemption ppv (which is next weekend) so yeah not great to have little build but that being said Wembley is the priority for AEW and I am excited for Redemption it will be a fun show with Fletcher vs Bandido, Omega vs Knight and Andrade vs Davis on the card should be some good to great matches but this does feel like “we’re on the road to Wembley but there’s contraflow slow things down a bit”

Brody Allsep

Thekla would be great! If they could get her turned to badass, Stone Cold style face, maybe it would work. Heel vs heel though, not so much

Mikhaell de Alencar

I’m surprised people are not talking about the fact that Hangman returned to AEW on Collision. It was so awful and anticlimactic it really undermined what he went through previously. It was one of the worst decision from AEW lately.

macarotto

listening to Oli read this out was funny, "Vuh-getta". Majin Kenny would be great, as long as he doesn't blow up part/all of the arena.

Liverpool25

How about actually putting the monthly YouTube Monday night war videos on YouTube you promised would be free (1 YouTube 1 patreon) embarrassing hiding them behind a paywall as well. You've done every other one up until last months no mercy so why go back on what you said the series would be, your greed is as bad as tkos

Chief The Original

Are there any rumors of Darby Allin and Tony Khan having beef? The way Darby gets rag dolled on Dynamite damn near every week is insane

Lauren Kerr

I’m new to AEW as well

scotty

Very good show overall matches are fire build up to all in

scotty

See you guys next week
