LUKE: The best ones will be read out on the WrestleTalk Podcast

Comments

Brent

That was a decent episode of Dynamite. The MJF/Nick Wayne/Speedball match was the best thing of the night. MJF once again proves how he's one of the best workers in the business. I love how he taught Nick to throw a punch at the midsection using Speedball as a target only later on in the match that Nick uses it against MJF. Swerve returns but has no plan or friends to fight against the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Someone suggested the New Day joining up with Swerve but that would be a horrible idea since the crowd will be on Swerve's side if that happens. If Swerve is going after the Trios belts, I think he might hire the Hurt Syndicate to be his partners. Also does Jay Lethal gets his vests from the same guy that Ricochet got his vest from?

Mohammed Albanai

AEW are usually the best when it comes to tournaments but this one I'm just not feeling. I don't see compelling storylines like the last C2 or the Owen hart cup and there's a lack of starpower. I'm Reminded of your reviews of some of the older rumbles where it was a bunch of lads rumble, this is for the most part a bunch of lads tournament. Despite that criticism I did enjoy the episode (except for Jericho)

Sam Sullivan

A very filler episode of Dynamite, which is to say still a decent 2 hours of TV. The Trios segment feels like it's leading to an inevitable triple threat of Hangdido Vs Demand Vs Swerve and New Day, but I can't say I'm particularly excited to see New Day come in as heels. Vegas crowd was also rubbish, particularly the one guy who screamed "Sasha come home" during the Mercedes/Willow segment

Wahab Fares

Some okay matches but found the show quite lackluster considering how close we are to All in, didn’t really make me more excited for any match on the PPV. Almost 5am with 3 matches to go and seeing Foley come out for no reason almost killed me off. I understand not wanting to burn through storylines but we’re too close to the PPV for both world title programs to only have one segment on the show each. Swerve also needed a bigger angle to make up for the limited time he has to build anything meaningful for me personally

Sam Sullivan

Also, the C3 is doing nothing for me and I do not understand why we needed another men's midcard tournament instead of, idk, literally anything for the women's division?

Amomantra94

Can AEW stop going to Vegas? Crowd was pretty dreadful all night long and some absolute dumbass was chanting “Sasha come home” during the Willow/Mercedes segment. Whoever it was literally paid to go to an AEW event and chanted her WWE name at her. Jesus fucking Christ… Other than that, really good show! Jack Perry, if he hadn’t already, made himself a star with that performance in the main event. I bit on him getting the win several times. Also I definitely feel like the Trios segment is signalling that Swerve is gonna team with Kofi and Austin Creed for All In! Triple Threat Trios Ladder Match maybe?

Don

Not a bad dynamite. I'm getting more and more excited as more matches get announced for All In. Hopefully it's Mox/Claudio or Mox/Switchblade for the Cup Nick Wayne looks vastly improved since coming out of the super juniors tournament. His spots with MJF were enjoyable, so hopefully he'll get a push soon. The Jericho match made me wonder: with his, the bloodline, and the Judgement Day vortices all occurring close to each other, does that mean we're living in the wrestling version of The Day After Tomorrow? After all, it seems that most people caught in them turn ice cold

Will B

Sadly a pretty sub-par episode to me, think a large part of it was an extremely weak and annoying crowd.

GRAVY

Loved a lot of the wrestling on this show but the crowd felt really subpar. I wanted to rip my eyes out my head when that guy was yelling "Come home Sasha!" at Mercedes. Why even go to the show if you're going to heckle like that? P.S. What do you guys think of Sully's debut in Hollywood as Paddington in Ted Lasso? Kinda the perfect role for him right?

Seth Colegrove

I may be in the minority here, but I kind of wish David Finlay was still in NJPW. I really liked the match with Jay White, match of the night for me, but he rarely gets any spotlight in AEW. I get why he came, but still. Pretty good show tonight though, other than Jericho throwing the weakest punches I've ever seen, everything worked in my opinion.

Butch Rosser

I'm penciling in the International title match at All In for Match of the Year already. And if Swerve needs backup to form a trios team, he can get lost in the Woods to find a Kingston of help pretty soon, right?

Thevivalajady

Afternoon gents. Who else knew that between Mox and Jack Perry, they had collectively held every title in AEW? And yes, I am absolutely counting Mox standing in for PAC when they lost the trios titles to the Ops, because technically he was there. Anyway, with the C3 now underway, I have decided that I want Jay White to have the match at Wembley. No complicated reasoning. No elaborate prediction. I just want good things for Jay White. The man deserves a little something after all his unfortunate injury luck.

darth Jmarks

Not really about dynamite but does AEW own the digital library of ROH? I assume so why don’t they have an old ROH on HBO? Fine I’ll say something about dynamite those “elbows” to Perry wasn’t Motley’s best, looked like he was trying to swat a bug of jacks face

Kitty Kat

Decent show. A bit of a filler episode but we did get some good story stuff out of it. Best matches of the night were of course the 3 way with Nick/MJF/Speed Ball and Jack vs Mox, but my personal favorite was the trios segment. Hangman and Swerve are two of my favorite wrestlers and their feud is the reason I'm so invested in wrestling now, so to see them very likely facing each other again and Swerve maybe even teaming with Kofi and Creed?! Whole thing has me running through a wall!

Brendy

Rick Knox must love the continental tournaments. Only two wrestlers with no outside interference? Practically a vacation for the poor guy

Brandon

excellent main event but the rest of that show was fine I guess. that Jericho match especially really lowered the average quality of the episode. anyway I am going to the show next week and I hope the tease this week means I will get to see the new day debut in person

Or'Rin Stinson

*Taps Mic* Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the only wrestling show that has more wrestling on it than advertisements. So much so, that I totally forgot that Mr. Oliver Davis was making an inshitification about how other promotions do such things. As much as we think “off” sprey will win in his home town, I think they will go down a Kenny retains, and Will chases back like Cody did Wrestlemania 39-40 and keep this story going.

Pogo is here

Swerve was within 100m of hangman being happy.

Victor Oceguera

Swerve coming out in the trios feud and then ricochet telling him that he doesn’t have friends like the rest of them makes me think the new day are going to debut with swerve and stick with him for a while what do you guys think? (Also Ollie you don’t have pronounce my last name it’s ok lol)

Luther Black

Mick Foley being in AEW for the sake of Mick Foley being in AEW kinda feels like the Disney Star Wars movies. Do we have a vision for it? No. Would it be kinda cool? Sure. They bark now? They bark now.

StonedPhone

I was there live and it was an amazing time! The best match of the night in my opinion wasn't even on Dynamite. Please go out of your way and watch Shibata vs Nigel WHAT A MATCH!

Noah

I was there live at dynamite it was really good There was some very annoying people in the crowd the sasha come home thing was bad but they also tried to what chant KENNY. Mox v Perry was surprisingly good. Seeing swerve made me so happy! Overall fun show (collision had a better show and biggest pop was for willow on collision!)

L3 Productions

I like kenny saving will but then using a villain like cadence in his voice it kinda off feels like kenny got one up here on will as will just shrugs it off. I also like Mjfs promo as he always is but this real world champion stuff feels really messy I am going to be at the Glasgow show in a few weeks I hope I get a will match probably not tho.

Jeremiah Culver

Did Team Serene book this? Cause this was the mid show

Versek

Kenny out here putting on anime villain promos and Oli will still say hes not a heel.

Jamie Brown

Not a fan of MJF still wearing the belt, I understand it’s supposed to annoy me but it really annoys me. He can still call himself the real champion without the belt

Jerrod Hazelwood

I wonder who could team with Swerve in a trios match against Hangman? Who, who, who

Joe Gleeson

With the ramp, and the nature of it.......Omega saving Ospreay from the Don Callis Family had real "Hogan attacking the Aces and Eights" vibes. Yes, I am watching the Aces and Eights collection on Patreon.

Jacob Smith

Luke, just wanted to let you know that I took your recommendation from last week's show! Like you and your wife, my wife and I LOVE Traitors and watch every version that comes to iPlayer. We had already seen Traitors India (and I'll be interested to hear what you thought) and was planning on getting around to Canada, but after your recommendation I decided to stop waiting and by the gods old and new, what a banger. Those first episode twists are genuine game changers that made me desperately want, like when I saw the dagger twist in NZ, for UK versions to take them onboard. Excited to see how the rest of the season plays out now!

Slinky with a Cup of Coffee

Honestly really enjoyed the show! I will say that the crowd was pretty lacking but I’ve grown used to that these days Also side bar: Sullivan in my Tedd Lasso episode??? I could have cried it was so cool to see him and recognize him by voice alone congrats babes

Reece Hatfield

Some great matches on this show, particularly the main event, but everything felt a bit predictable. The Ospreay Omega segment was fine but the weakest of the feud so far for me. I'm so glad to see Swerve back but not sure if I'm into him in the trios picture. Having him Vs Hangman in a trios feud does elevate the belts...but they are the trios belts and feel beneath both of them and brodido if I'm honest.

Diarmuid Burke

Reckon we get a Women's Casino Gauntlet at Wembley? I know we just had one at Beach Break but it'd be weird to have one last year and not this year (and weird for Thekla not to have anything to do). Though maybe Tony's now filled his two women's PPV match quota so it's lads from here on out.

RealDoubleJ

Im here to find out if Oli has solved his conundrum with media servers (or just brought a different tv stand where his remote works through the doors) and if the lads got pre-sale Weezer tickets today and plan to do a livestream drinkerton (The first hour of Dynamite I watched before work was fun)

Kevin Fleuriot

Good show, great in ring action as always, but the build towards All In felt a bit slow on that show. Not sure what was the point of that Swerve segment other than to show that he's still here and in the plans for All In.

Real One's GEORGIE TUFFS

I know you love future predictions at wrestletalk and I got osprey to lose to Mox at world's end. I was confused why they are having a continental cup (summer tournament) and c2 (winter tournament) with the announcement that the cup winner also gets the belt aswell as a cup. I'm guessing that's to get the belt off Mox early so he doesn't have a run in the winter tournament to give him a championship program. Mox would have either 2 or 3 matches at world end (semi and finals c2 same night with a championship match) so you would beat Mox so you could protect him in defeat, as he would be tired from any previous matches. If Mox beat Osprey you would bury Will losing against a tiered/injured man. If Mox only fights Osprey, there can be heel tactics or even a clean finish in a way to have either of them protected in defeat. Will beats Kenny, Will beats MJF. Will loses to Mox Little add on, got married last week and a quiet pub, laptop and re listening the shield series on patreon helped me get my Vows finished so thanks. Support wrestletalk and Jam the Jam lads!

PENGUIN GATE AEW VERSION This was a not very enjoyable dynnamite again turned off for the main event too long again for nothing Kd substance penguin gate again if wwe is penguin bar a wrestling flavoured show aew last night felt like dark chocolate to much of the wrestling flavour if you get me im going to have to start watching the next morning if they have more overruns just annoys me for some reason idk

Dean Brereton

This might be me however, is anyone finding the Big Shows commentary really crap? he has no cadence in his voice whatsoever and sounds quite bland.

Felixious Zheng

Once again this week felt mid for me despite the great work put in by all the talent. Its hard for me to bring myself past the DCF in the mix with Osprey and Omega. Because personally, I don't like Don Callis, and i feel like his presentation drags everything down a tier, everyone in the DCF would be better off without him in my opinion. I do question where the Swerve angle is going, it feels like he is going to be going for the Trio's title, but that feels like a massive downgrade to Swerve.

JonoabboFE

Paul Wight on commentary was excellent. Brings a really nice balance of insight and passion, can tell he is so excited for what is going on and it's contagious, even when I'm watching Jericho kick out of Knight's second finisher.

Isaac hansel

Since MJF has now called Nick Wayne and speedball twinks could we get an opinion on who else in the AEW locker room would be a twink?

JJ Bittenbinder

I fear Sasha isn't coming back home, she just doesn't have that dawg in her

Brent

I actually think he and Mick should swap roles.

Isaac hansel

Thought I would add a couple of thoughts now that I’ve listened to the podcast and dynamite, but I really didn’t see the swerve segment setting up the new day. I really think it should be the start of a new trilogy between swerve and hangman. Swerve trying to ruin hangman’s life and bringing the worst out of him and then hangman can turn heel on the back of the trilogy and go after the world title again.

Kevin V

Just finished the G1. Here is my prediction for All In. Ospreay wins, is standing tall at the end of the night. Callum comes out and attacks him to end the night. Especially with Will calling on United Empire for help before All In. We also know that Callum is supposed to be in the UK that weekend. So it just lines up for an attack. Callum was very upset during the G1 and mentioned Will a number of times, and the commentary booth referenced the trouble in United Empire a number of times also. Will is currently Never Openweight 6-man Tag Team champs with Henare and Great-O-Khan. Henare and Great-O-Khan both competed in the G1, while Henare competed mostly honorably and did well. Great-O-Khan cheated and did not do so well. There was a clear divide between the Empire.
