( A long one sorry) Look I enjoyed this grandslam/dynamite i may off had a penguin bar or 2 during which lead me to think can a chocolate bar have to much chocolate which is exactly how I feel about this dynamite show too much wrestling let me see just a segment or a promo & also can we have it in arena Mexico everyweek bucket list location after watching this show only started watching you guys a couple months ago only & subbed to the Patreon this week loving the content & looking forward to dynamite being 2 hours again

Jeremiah Culver

Great show. Maybe 4 6+man tag matches was a little much. But MJF is always reminding me why he’s one of the top 10 wrestlers of all time. The “Real World Championship” callback to All in 2023 in Wembley to CM Punks. Pretty cool since it’s the same event in the same stadium.

Jerrod Hazelwood

Somehow Grand Slam was one of the better PPVs of the year, and it's not even a PPV

PlutotheOverseer

Genuinely fantastic. We know Oli"s gonna be pissed it went three hours but goddamn you can't say they didn't earn it. Also nice to see Persephone actually win unclean as it may be

Atlas Clarke-Telfer

One of the commentators i believe asked during the brodido/page match who is the “chevy chase” in that group. It’s obviously hangman adam page. Not apart of the duo, more of a bigger name etc. My take anyway 🧡😌

Matt Adams

I thought tonights show was great overall. Didnt need to be almost 3 hours, but great show with a VERY hot crowd! The Fletcher/Speedball match was absolutely awesome! Enjoyed the trios title match and the main event as well! These over runs are getting ridiculous now though.

Butch Rosser

After three years, two MOTY candidates, a bunch of awesome moments and more, I think the main conclusion after the end of Dynamite is PUT AN AEW PPV IN ARENA MEXICO, TK! We all know you want to and you should! Hell, put it on a Friday night! Anyway, Dynamite of the Year. Sorry, Oli. Some things are worth the three hours.

Wahab Fares

I’m surprised with the lack of Swerve in the build up to all in, is he just going to be in the gauntlet? Feels a bit lazy but I just don’t see what else he could do with the amount of time we have before the show. Ps give Fletcher all the belts

Don

Fun episode. Really great crowd. I just don't think an announced 2.5 hour broadcast means what Tony Khan thinks it means. I'm stoked for All In. I'm waiting for an announcement of Fletcher vs Okada, possibly in a 3 way with Takeshita if he's available after the G1. Disappointed that the Demand already dropped the trios title. I feel that the GoA deserve a long title reign. Brody King being a plus-sized luchador is insane. I don't know what Speedball's skull is made of, but I want a helmet made of that material. That or the Mistico Darby mask.

Amomantra94

Arena Mexico is a special place, and deserves the unironic WHAT A CROWD! I can already see Oli looking at this show’s runtime and being devastated though 😆 However, it was an excellent special episode and the matches were great. Extra credit to that main event for being absolutely bonkers in the best way! I guess the real question is… is Arena Mexico better or worse than Billy Gunn?!?

MCIMAPS

The trios tag situation is interesting. Tony has now THREE TIMES used a heel team as transitional champions to take the belts from one set of baby faces to the other Don Callis family held the titles for 11 days, a transition from Jetset Rodeo to Mistico/Jetspeed The Dogs held the titles for 4 days, a transition between Mistico/Jetspeed to the Conglomeration The Demand held the titles for 8 days, a transition between Conglomeration to Brodido/Hangman Tony is clearly taking a page from 1960/70s WWF. But I’m not complaining. Give Hangman all the belts!

Deven Mercer

Long. Very long. At least the crowd was in to it. Going to bed now.

Shae

Good show aside from the repetitive match structure. He'll surely get an email from trips to switch it up a bit. Other than that Mjf Return, 2 WOMENS MATCHES !, new Champs, Osprey defeating his best friend before taking on his wrestling friend was great. HOOOOWWWWEVER a bit of Synosis. Botch after botch with the finishes. Women's singles match really fell apart with that Thunder Rosa spot Technically the demand are still champs. He had to wake up whoever before the 10 count The CROWD counted 3 before the ref. Causing Bandido to let go before the ACTUAL 3 count. I'd love to say 4 out 5 but its really a 3 3.5 show

Not related to the show itself but FTR are on indefinite hiatus from wrestling for their families, they announced it in June, they were never going to be in the All In match.

JakeAndBake13

I know the discourse is going to be the length of the show, but I don't care. That show was even better than last week for me, and that was an amazing show. It may be the best Dynamite of the year for me. It was basically a PPV on TV.

Lawson Douvier

I know a lot are going to complain about the length, but it’s spectacular wrestling for free every week. I don’t watch for my job, so I can’t complain. If it’s too long, I’ll just finish it later because I enjoy watching great pro wrestling. Also, Ospreay is kicking out of the one winged angel, right?

Sam

Good episode, but it didn't need the Mistico, Jericho, and Darby six-man, or Statlander vs. Persephone. MJF's promo was the best thing on the show.

Luther Black

I really hope that we get Mox vs. Eddie at ALL IN in the Continental Cup final. We never really got it during Mox's last world title run because Eddie was out, and these two have been kept apart for too long. In the Deathriders vs. Elite vs. Ospreay vs. Don Callis Family vs. Andrade vs. MJF universe, we need a sprinkle of Eddie Kingston. Also more Kevin Knight diving from either out of frame or out of focus, please. A couple weeks ago with Kenny, tonight with Darby, not only does it subvert expectations but it also looks rad as hell.

Bobo Jacobo

I feel like Kenny and Wills “becoming friends “storyline sticks out like a sore thumb in this narrative. If I remember correctly, they absolutely HATED each other, but on a random Dynamite, circumstances needed them to team up, and in one night Kenny went from “I could never trust you” to “I can absolutely trust you AND you’re a great friend“ within five minutes of the same promo? And now they act like life-long best friends? Maybe they could’ve still disliked each other when they first meet in the trainers room, but a respect-based friendship grows based on them coming back from potential career ending surgeries. Everything else can play out pretty similarly, perhaps with more tension from Mox manipulation or whether one will turn on the other. Then when Kenny attacks Will, he can just be like “bruh, I respect you but I still dont like you. You worked with the Death Riders ffs.” I don’t know, I just can’t get the sudden/random friendship-turn out of my head.

Bob

Completely unrelated, but I’m going back and listening to Spider-Man 3 Cutscene that yall did and I am absolutely loving it. Can’t stand MJ in this movie and can’t understand why Oli is so smitten by her. Either way, Aaron Wolf thrown into Omega v Ospreay would sell out Wembley

Will B

I'm glad Mark Davis has stayed healthy enough to get a serious single's run. He's not on Ospreay or Fletcher's level, but he's still awesome to watch in action.

Toni Harris

LOVED the show, but I’m a little disappointed about the lack of post match angle in the main event. There’s so much story they COULD have explored had DCF attacked Will after the match, and in the process proving that he does need the Death Rider’s help, or at the very least making him question whether he can really do it all on his own.

GRAVY

Loved the women's six man tag but with every match that passes it feels more and more like Willow's finisher is the backslide pin. She won with it at Redemption, pinned Mercedes with it here, and was winning with it fairly often in her TBS title reign. I'm all for protecting stars but they need to put over Willow in a big way more often.

Brian Moore

Ngl I'm a bit desensitized when it comes to great matches in AEW because they're always guaranteed so it's the results and storylines that intrigue me the most and MJF bringing back Punk's "real" world champion gimmick and the Demand losing the trios titles after a week really took me out that I didn't even watch the main event. I'm still excited for All In but this show really revealed who's Tony's guys are in AEW and who will always struggle for success and opportunities in this company.

Brandon

Tony... you were given a pass, an opportunity to book a show like you always would and not have an absurd overrun. you were given a 2 hour 30 time slot. AND YOU STILL MANAGED TO HAVE AN OVER 20 MINUTE OVERRUN WHAT THE HELL MAN! and unlike last week I could think of a few things that could have been cut or shorter.

Seth Colegrove

I love Arena Mexico, it just has such a unique atmosphere. This was a really good show, the only thing that felt a little off was the Don Callis vs. Mistico, Jericho, and Darby match it was good, but felt like three singles matches happening at the same time. To me it felt like all six guys paired off and never really changed partners. Just thought it was weird, but otherwise, awesome Dynamite, even though it went too long for my taste.

AhrBee

It's a little thing, but the thing I popped for the hardest was Mox and Nigel talking about Nigel being in the tournament. Overall, the show was far too long. But what a main event! The National three-way was a lot of fun, and the fire from MJF after!

Thevivalajady

3 hours? Mate, Oli's gonna be mad. However, from top to bottom, what a fantastic show. Arena México looked absolutely stunning.

Sam Connell

If Max wins the casino gauntlet, let him cash it in on the night. Make the main event of All In a 3-way.. Don’t care about whatever rules they have for the contract (I don’t think they do either) and let there be chaos!!

book__wyrm

Great wrestling, but sometimes nigel is not particularly discerning about his heel commentating, and veers dangerously close to a very familiar strain of british xenophobia when he talks about non american/european wrestlers. In this match it was his comments on Kemalito, in others its been directed at japanese talent... Some stuff is not fun or interesting heel content

Victor Oceguera

This was better than both nights of summerslam combined I’ve just accepted the fact that the trios titles are used for a pop now and are being hot potatoed but when your hot you can do no wrong WHAT A CROWD

COMPANY NETWORK

So it seems that Okada does not like singalong theme songs at all. He looked absolutely disgusted with all of it. Also, that dropkick to Darby on the outside was pretty gnarly. Okada is always a hit in this household, and I hope all of yours as well.

Joe Gleeson

The MJF "Real World Champion" story is gonna be interesting, but I can't help feel they're just copying..........what happened on WWE Turbo!!! When Dragon Lee came out to claim that he is the real WWE Speed Champion!

COMPANY NETWORK

Nigel has top tier bants. He will not apologize for that, and he should not.

COMPANY NETWORK

Thank you for listing them because I had to do many many double-takes to see if I was losing my mental acuity. Couldn't believe what I was seeing. But it looks like you saw them all too. I wonder what had them all off of their game...?

JJ Bittenbinder

Grand slam was great and all, but does anyone have that dog---excuse me perro in them tho? Asking the important questions

L3 Productions

That show was incredible the mistico's entrance was incredible the energy in that crowd looked incredible. The mjf return was cool him going into the casino battle royale is a great spot that he will probably win but the one thing that actually annoyed me a bit was the I am your one true champion it was like the cm punk's championship reign where he was the real aew champion I don't really like max saying that. But It could create a really cool moment if max wins and makes it a triple threat at all in that's a cool idea. Also my redemption is today For the ass index Billy gun will be better than 8 Because L3 knows wrestling 😂

That Welsh Guy

as ever a great promo from MJF, but him still having the tipple B doesn't sit right with me. its visually confusing to new viewers who need it explained that he's not a champion, and really draws attention that the belts are just props. Still it's probably going to have a better pay off than Punks "real world champion" tantrum i guess

Vic Cutting

Outstanding show, I really hope doyle and Davis win the tag titles after the inevitable bucks/new day/ MCMG scramble is over

Peter Siddorn

Wait a minute, there was a 6-man tag with the Don Callis Family where Hechicero was involved and wasn't pinned? Maybe should take on Tony to make sure he's ok

Jamie Brown

Kommander is awesome, but is he better than Billy Gunn?

Brendy

Seeing Cope and Cage come out in Arena Mexico is so cool

Kevin Fleuriot

I'm still hyped for All In because I'll be there and we have a bunch of great matches already announced. But I would've preferred MJF and Andrade in a singles match rather than both men being in the Gauntlet. Also the Trios titles are such a weird case. But overall, the show was fantastic, as always, great in ring quality.

Ph7

So was this a 53 minute overrun or a 3-hour show that ended early? Either way, I enjoyed every minute of it, but I would very much appreciate it if Dynamite could go back to 2 hours next week.

Morgan Leggett

That was not at all how I saw the MJF return coming, but one of the things that makes Max so great is how he can tell two or three stories at once. Andrade is on fire right now and a programme with Max will keep him hot. Its also good for presumably Ospreay coming out of All In because there's so many ready challengers for him.

Reece Hatfield

A PPV quality show on TV. This was better than redemption and probably both nights of summerslam. This is what we mean when we talk about a good crowd, hot for everything but not obnoxious, I even got a touch emotional at the Mistico entrance because of how invested the crowd were. 10/10 show no notes

Reece Hatfield

I doubt Ospreay kicks out unless this is Kenny's last match. Will is already super over and the move has been so well protected that I don't think they'd throw that away for someone who doesn't need the accolade of being the one person (I know technically other people have but not really) to kick out of the move no one can.

Diarmuid Burke

What a crowd! Haven't heard anything like that since last week's WWE Turbo in Havana, Cuba

Morgan Leggett

This is just a welfare check on Oli after the 3 hour runtime. Worth it though right?

Dean Brereton

Great show, Fletcher needs to be going into main event fueds sooner rather than later, get him with Kenny, Swerve or Max. Is MJF doing CM Punks real world champion gimmick? from before he left? it feels very much like it. I hope Max doesn't win the number 1 contenders match straight, then again if Will wins the title, he has beaten Kenny and Swerve recently, he can't face Hangman as he can't challenge for the title so maybe it should be Max.

Josh Young

First time poster. I thought that this was a great show. Though being a 3 hour show, it didn’t feel like it. The only gripe I had was the trios match. Don’t get me wrong I liked that Hangman and Brodito won, I just feel like the Demand should have held on to the titles longer than one week. Right now it just feels like the Demand are almost jobbers, they deserve to win more than what they have been.

Dan Lindenbaum

AEW has something really unique and special that hasn’t happened since ECW. They have unique venues that feel special. (Arena Mexico, the fairway to Hell venue, daily’s place) I think it would be great if AEW made annual special dynamites at those venues and continue to look for others. It creates a pay per view like atmosphere that is palpable from when you first turn the show on.

Ryan

Kyle Fletcher is my wrestler of the year and best wrestler in the world atm

FightForever3301

As soon as I saw the main event starting at the 2:30 hour mark i could hear Oli screaming “WHY ADVERTISE FOR 2 1/2 HOURS IF YOU KNEW YOU WERE GOING 3. JUST TELL ME ITS 3 HOURS”

paul young

The Said on commentary Andrade had over 500 matces in Arena mexico. For comparison, Brock had 445 matches in his entire career.

Rey Villegas

For the first time in a long time I have to agree with oli, the show was too long. I literally fell asleep and had to finish it this morning. Great show tho and I think 7 wrestlers will be worse than Billy Gunn

Shae

Is Mox & Roman characters getting similar? His crew gets booed but hes cheered?

FJC Racing

Fantastic reference with the name btw

Brent

Technically it's a 2.5 hour show with a 22 minute overrun. I sorta of figured this Dynamite would be either 2.5-3 hours since it's a special type of Dynamite.

Brent

They made the rule that the winner have to declare at least a week advance that they are using the contract. AEW doesn't want the contract to be like the MitB briefcase.

Brent

Grand Slam Mexico was packed full of wrestling. I thought MJF wasn't going to return until All In where he comes out as a participant for the Gauntlet and wins it but I take his return. I wonder if we might get MJF vs Andrade for All Out if neither of them wins the Gauntlet. Heels can't hold onto the Trios titles for very long and lose them very quickly. The Demand could had hold on to them for a month or two but Hangman needs a title and it would be the 2nd time with the belts and a completely different trio unit.

Rhine Kemplin

MJF calling himself the "One True Champion" OTC. Fucking brilliant.
