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

Wahab Fares

Surely Mox has to be up there for Wrestler of the Year? Consistently having the match of the night every week, and his character work as a tweener has been fantastic. Mox leaving the Will/Kenny story is probably the main reason I’m not as emotionally attached to the main event anymore even though it’ll be a banger. I think they removed him from the story too abruptly, especially when you look at how little substance the Will/Kenny feud has had over the past few weeks. Btw they’re taking the piss with these overruns, so unnecessary.

Jake Miller

Somebody is owed a free membership. Kenny is a heel

Randy Bobandy

Bring back 2 hour episodes. The ending I loved post match, but the length just takes away from it

Shawn

Genuinely couldn’t agree more

Victor Oceguera

Moxley vs jay white was an incredible match when jay white hit the blade runner I thought Mickey’s title reign was over then he rolled out the ring was awesome. Also I could’ve done without the Ospreay match it didn’t really progress anything and made the show longer but the ending of the show confirms to me ospreays kicking out of the one winged angel!

Brendy

Kenny Omega still comes out on the face side of the stage, 100% face no doubt

Andrew H

The Mjf video playing like 2 min early really peaved me off

Amomantra94

30+ minute overrun, I’m sure nothing will be said by Oli about this 😅 Having said that, I really enjoyed this week’s episode! The time flew by and there was no Jericho, so I’m taking all the small victories that I can. Ospreay and Omega is sustaining the hype and each passing segment they knock it outta the park

SlickRob

Kenny is sooooo much better as a heel than as a face. Up til now I didnt really care about the All In Main Event other than I want Osprey to be champ. After Dynamite, I want to see Bruv beat the brakes off of Kenny.

Versek

Not only is someone owed a lifetime membership, I now expect a video cataloging this entire feud.

Don

Solid episode. Main event made me think The Rascalz came out beforehand and made everything smokey. Trios match at All In has me excited. I thought The Newest Day would've shown up during Swerve's promo. Akira showed he had that Dawg in him against Lance. Only complaint I had was the sit down between Kenny and Will. Great segment, but I'm always of the opinion that anything longer than 5 minutes should be done in front of the audience. Can't wait for Turbo though. Apparently Christian will drop a new single to counter the Rock's called "Your (Real) Dad." Crazy how anyone can show up there nowadays. 4/5

Wheels

I most appropriate I'm excited that Austin Creed and Kofi are coming to AEW but I don't think putting them with Swerve is the best idea. Swerve is acting more and more heel and if/when Creed and Kofi come in they are going to be cheered. Also grate angle to end the show. That's a heel turn for Kenny!

Will B

I've never had a problem with them running over, but this week was rough. Entirely too much excess nonsense. Will and Kenny interview could've been half as long, and Kevin Knight should never have been involved in the overrun, especially through a commercial break. This is the 1st time AEW has legitimately tested my patience. Hopefully it was an outlier and not a portent of things to come

Cody Kearnes

I had so much fun with this show, every single match felt like it was serving a larger story and it left me REALLY excited for the next couple of weeks. I really think Mox has a case for wrestler of the year which is crazy to say when there are so many people just on the AEW roster that have been performing so consistently well all year. Also loved seeing the more heelish side of Kenny in that last segment and I wouldn’t be mad at all if he beats Will at Wembley and solidifying himself as a top monster heel for a little while.

Mark Robertson

That show oscillated between sublime and WTF with remarkable periodicity. The lows of the ridiculous overrun, production issues with MJF talking over Andrade promo, the initial Will/Kenny face-to-face lasting longer than it should have. In addition, Nigel going over the CMLL champ at 20% with a busted ankle would really have aggravated me if I were running CMLL. However, this was mirrored by the excellent women’s 4-way, three separate women’s segments including said 4-way, the blatant tease for the New Day (London ladder match incoming????), and another superb Mox match with Jay White looking back to his best, and the pull-apart between Willow and Mone was also superb. Tony packed a lot into this show; here’s hoping the go-home is time-restrained and an excellent lead-in to All In. Jam that Jam

JakeAndBake13

Great episode. Loved the Mercedes/ Willow and Kenny/Will segments. The ending segment was also great. Mox/Switchblade was my match of the night. I think we're definitely getting Swerve and Kofi/Austin Creed as a trio at All In in this what looks to be a multi team Trios Title match.

James Markin

I dont get complaints about AEW over runs. This is just as long as Raw is most weeks and I personally prefer this ending over another 25 minute Bloodline segment.

Lawson Douvier

Great episode and a much better crowd. Thought the TBS title match was match of the night, then Mox and King Switch go off like that and make me reconsider. I do wish that Persephone had won the title, though. I don’t know if this makes much sense, but she has the aura/vibe of Eddie Guerrero to me. AEW needs to lock her down and push her to the moon. And Billy Gunn is better than 12 wrestlers this week.

Sam

I thought this was an okay Dynamite, but on the way to All In, this is really poor. The Omega-Ospreay feud feels so rushed, even though their sit-down interview was very good. I'm surprised Maya retained I really thought Persephone was going to win the title, and I also don't care for the Bucks vs. Edge and Christian. They should have done more brawling and actual fighting by now instead of just staring at each other.

Pogo is here

kenny fully feels like a heel. I think that is the right call seeing where the match is taking place and will being the biggest babyface aew has. I really like this TBS title picture i hope it gets something at all in.

Noah Fortner

Missed the first bit of the Kenny Will promo due to some classic AEW sound issues but why the hell were they talking about Covid for so long I guess it ended pretty good but it feels kinda meh

KidCutty

I think this is one of those episodes that will split people down the middle. Were the last two weeks for me...No. But thats just my opinion 🤷🏿‍♂️

Brandon

was there live and had an amazing time except for when the person next to me had an asthma attack due to all the smoke and ad to be escorted out of the building for their own health... that was bad. rest of the show was excellent though. my throat hurts from yelling. and from smoke. seriously, for some extra context for how bad that smoke was, halfway through the show during a commercial Break Tony Khan came out and told us after the show we would get a FREE ROH taping. nobody stayed, partially thanks to the ridiculous overrun making us all too tired and partially because it was treacherous for our health to stay their any longer. we could not see any of the screens for like 25 minutes after it happened (probably heard the we can't see shit chants). it was an amazing show and I had a great time but next time you want to do the Hardy explosion spot, please check the ventilation quality of the arena you are in.

Jeremiah Culver

Question is, who is debuting/ returning at All in? New Day Buddy Matthews There’s gotta be more for the casino gauntlet

Vectron44

Kenny was going to talk about Will's Dad but Dwayne got there first... In all seriousness, though it was a great match, I can't help but feel the booking of Mox and Jay White was a mistake. You had the chance to really get a groundswell behind White by having him get a winning streak and begin to plot a path back to the main event and instead, Mox takes his best shot, wins, and then leaves him to be beaten up. I feel a little perplexed that they don't have anything for White to do of substance considering how poorly he was booked in AEW before he got injured.

Kitty Kat

*insert Oli's complaints about Dynamite being too long here* But honestly, this was a wonderful Dynamite. MUCH better crowd and the Omega/Ospreay stuff through out the night was pretty darn great! However I am most excited for the Trios stuff. It feels like AEW is building a genuine division for it now and with Kofi and Creed very likely coming in with Swerve, I can not wait for whatever they're setting up for in Wembley.

Mr. Grimes

I think French Fries are tasty, just wanted to get that out there

Patrick Kanieski

First off Kenny is a heel for sure. Secondly Dynamite is no longer a 2 hour show. That being said I still really enjoyed it. I liked Willow and Mercedes pull apart. The sit down segment with Kenny and Will fixed about what I didn’t like about there segment last week. I really enjoy the growth of Kyle Fletcher. I hope he splits from the the Don Callis Family soon. Mox and Switchblade was awesome. My only question is what is better for all in? Mox vs Claudio or Mox vs Kingston?

Jaws 24

Never mind being back in 2017, we are back in early 2020s. We got heel Kenny and Roman again this week.

Seth Colegrove

Willow and Mercedes was intense tonight, it really got me hyped for the All In match, man I hope Willow wins. Other than the Darby segment where he got "exploded", but still had the strength to tell Sing's kid not to fight Kevin Knight, this show was awesome. But Oli... I fear Kenny Omega is at least 90% heel at this point, The End is Near (sung in my best mimicry of the Armageddon 2006 theme song).

Joseph Machado

Removing Mox and MJF from the main event story has done some damage to the excitement I had going into All In. I get they have their own storylines with the Continental Cup and the Casino Gauntlet matches, respectively, but I'm a believer that your big show main event should reflect the year's worth of storytelling and I'd argue MJF and Mox have shaped this show more than anyone on the roster. Without the Mox/Will or MJF/Kenny segments, Kenny and Will have had to carry this road to All In on their own and its just missing something. Maybe a straight up heel Kenny fixes this but I preferred a Kenny and Will that were swapping those roles every week.

JJ Bittenbinder

Jay White his PJ pants seem so comfy, I get why he switched it up

Captain Nick

Give Adam his membership, Kenny became full heel by the end of the show

carlos cervantes

i think we have to stop saying kenny isn’t a good promo because holy smokes the last few months have been incredible from him

Don

Killer Kross in the men's gauntlet since mlw and aew are partners

Don

Since Discovery Warner lost their license for the NBA, AEW doesn't have any other sporting events to compete with on their network, so I can appreciate the Wednesday overrun. I do wish more ppvs started earlier or on Saturday though. Thankfully the NFL season starting will change the days of those

Brent

Another week, another Dynamite where Luke will shut Oli down for the overrun. If you don't like overruns in your AEW programming, there's always Collision which is always a nice 2 hours. I love the contrast of the 2 sit down interviews. You got Will and Kenny explaining their stories which slowly becomes very personal as Kenny insults Will's family. Then there's Willow and Mone who went full hate and want to beat the other so badly. It's obvious Willow will beat Maya or be a no contest as Mone interferes in the match to protect Maya. So I guess there might be a Trios Title match. I don't want Kofi and Austin Creed to team up with Swerve since they are bigger stars. I think Jack Perry might join Swerve as he needs to find a way to beat the top guys in AEW and Swerve might be that key. The 3rd man might be Buddy who might not like what Brody King has been doing since he has team up with Brandio and Hangman. Swerve, Jack Perry, and Buddy might be a Franken trio but I rather have that than Swerve team with Kofi and Austin since those two have some tag team dream matches to do and being part of the trios division will be a hinderance.

Toiresa

I was there with my brother! He doesn't watch much aew so it was really fun to tell him about all the current storylines. I hope my city came off good on screen but there was definitely times I'm sure we weren't. I.e. the boring chants for the Will Osprey Kenny Omega sit down and the 3 seconds that some fuckhead tried to chant CM Punk. The most over person in that arena was Maya World without a doubt and it was awesome. I know the show ran long but it really didn't feel like it in person until I looked at my phone and realized that the final match hadn't even started yet and it was past 10 already. My brother's favorite spot of the night was the coast to coast conchairto but oh my God. That pyro beforehand ruined that arena I don't know if it played on tv but we had "we can't see shit" and "turn on the fans" chants because all the smoke made it IMPOSSIBLE to see anything. Other than that we had an amazing time and I really hope they come back to Baltimore again sometime soon. P.s. Do you people know how much I have to love wrestling to willingly give my hard earned money to the British?! Wild on my part but I do and truly? I don't regret it. Love y'all, can't wait to hear what you think. P.p.s Billy beats 11 on the ass index

Jake Miskelly

A little bit of an over run this week. But I'd say AEW gives Turbo a run for it's money. (Purely talking about the wrestling of course)Mox and Jay White was better than the Creeds match, but it's hard to compare tag team and singles. More importantly I think Billy Gunn will be better than 9 wrestlers this week.

Brent

So All In is starting 6 pm BST which there is a Buy In before it. I hope the Brits there aren't expecting a 6-7 hour event. But yeah, I would like Saturday events with a 6 pm start time. 8 pm is way too late especially on a Sunday. Tony is trying to kill the EST time zone people with Sunday 8 pm PPVs but it's still more wrestling than a WWE PLE.

Andy Gossett

Good episode overall. I like the rebuilding of the Trios division. It has been an afterthought for too long. They continue to do what they do best, in ring work. Top notch as expected. The one thing that bothers me, however, is that damn near every AEW match does the same spot. The "let's stand in the middle of the ring and trade blows to show how tough we are." If it's a hoss fight, a blood feud, or one of a handful of "shoot tough guys" doing it, it's awesome. When everyone on the roster does it in every match, doesn't really mean much or add anything anymore.

GRAVY

Oli I know its hard but its time to admit it. Kenny is a heel. Pay your dues and set up a chair (lifetime membership) for CM Adam Corona.

Vic Cutting

Awesome show, I think every besides the united empire match was needed, omega really felt like a monster

Romeo Casido

Ok if Oli doesn't consider this ep baby bear soup then I question his taste in soup

COMPANY NETWORK

The Coast to Coast from Kevin Knight was absolutely filthy nasty. And the firework setup was some bright heel stuff...but Darby is going to get his back in London. And seriously, KK has hit that next evil gear thanks to Papa Don. Also, yes the Dogs are AEW freshman, but I can not wait for them to evolve into their next form. Each of them have such a high ceiling for singles runs in this wrestling league. especially that creepy crawly Gabe Kidd. Here is to the future of All Elite Wrestling! Lastly, speaking of the future...was that a wild Steven Borden sighting??! Great episode of Dynamite. I am that I am.

L3 Productions

Has Kenny turn heel?? Does someone get a free membership...... 🤔

Reece Hatfield

We all said they needed some angles and this show certainly delivered on that. The Ospreay Omega feud feels like it's hit that next gear with Kenny going full cleaner. Also, a whole bunch of good in ring action. This 4-way was one of the best women's matches I've seen on AEW in a while, and the C3 matches were also great, I just hope Nigel is just a great seller rather than actually being seriously injured. All of this makes this probably the best dynamite since Kenny won the belt.

KFizzle4

I love that Kenny was absolutely a face tonight, even signing some kid's sign before the match, but specifically doesn't like Will. It reminds me a bit of Corey Graves and Elias.

CB

THAT MAN IS A HEEL. Fanastic talking segment between Will and Kenny. As someone who hasen't seen their feud over the years, they made me feel it's history and especially Will's desperate need to beat Kenny clean. I feel their rivalry so much, to the point even if this wasen't for the title I would still be just as desperate for Will to win.

BiggestBoyInTown

I’m relatively new to wrestling (watching WWE since RR2022) and only started watching AEW this year in the build up to All In, and I don’t get the appeal of Mercedes as a character. She’s undeniably talented in the ring, but every other aspect of her character comes off as a generic heel with no flavor, especially compared to Willow. Just an abstract thought from a new fan, Steiner Math > Pipebomb.

Corey Henninger

I’d be more upset at an overrun if there wasn’t cool stuff constantly happening. Show flew by, but I miss Thekla, hope she gets something/anything for All In.

Machinepanda

i enjoyed this show but why is brodido & hangman saving switchblade he has his own faction could it be related to non story of the week the road dogg thing with saying the guns are above the tag titles idk defo a reach

Meet my brother's kitten, Yumi

Dynamite was fine and all, Kenny's a heel you cannot deny that, but instead of that I wanna talk about this years' G1 Climax, cause this might be the shift that New Japan needed. The last time they had a first time winner of the G1 be a homegrown New Japan wrestler in their 20s was Okada back in 2012. Yuya Uemura vs Ryohei Oiwa is my MOTY so far and it almost felt like the inverse of the Americanos match. Where that one felt like the peak of sports entertainment, this was, to quote that Kurt Angle meme, "real graps."

Morgan Leggett

Struggled to pay attention to most of the show because seeing El Clon's eyes in the promo image disturbed me more than no make-up Penta.

Christopher Ashe

Hello fellas hope everyone is doing well I was live there in Baltimore. I brought a friend who this was her first wrestling event and she does not watch the product at all here are some takeaways I had. 1. The Darby Angle, I’m not sure how it looked on tv but in the arena it looked like a snow storm without the snow. We couldn’t see anything. It was like being in the movie “The Mist” ( WORST MOVIE ENDING EVER) 2. Shoutout to the fatal 4way match for the Tbs title. Was the best match on the card 3. Never doubted the young bucks but did think they were a little overrated from how everyone spoke of them. But watching them live I may have to change my tune. They were so quick, crisp and on point, I think I understand now. 4. Kenny and Wills face to face was too long. Started getting boos in the arena 5. A little gripe I had with the show from a live audience perspective. Edge, Osprey and Jericho in that order, from an audience engagement have the best entrances so when you do have those entrances allow the audience to have the full engagement. Edge came out music was playing but by the time the music cuts and the audience takes over. Edge is already out of the arena packed and ready to go. 6. Overall this was an ok show to me. My friend loves to spite me. I had to go to a country concert just to get her here. (Shoutout to Luke Borchelt#crabcountry.) but she did say she would go again so kudos to AEW.

Morgan Leggett

Fun to see Darby continuing to be this generations Jeff Hardy by getting absolutely rocketed by pyro and falling down the ramp.

brolly

guessing you like uncle Dave he cant wrestler

Matthew Hutchins

honestly you guys loving jon moxley who's story makes on sense and will ospreay fall down get back up fall down get back up bruv I can see flavours and taste colours bruv is amazing

brolly

then you haven't seen a good promo

Brent

On TV, we see Darby shielding himself before the pyro completely hides his body before he was rolling down the ramp. Then we see Kevin Knight beating Darby up ringside a bit before going into the ring to setup the Coast to Coast chairshot.

cc

You guys have entirely forgotten about Wills association with the Death Riders and their potential influence at Wembley. There's a chance for some absolute fuckery.

Kevin Simpson

I was at Dynamite/Collision last night in the hydro ad I agree Dynamite was a mid show, the Collision felt more like a good home show with better matches, I did enjoy all the matches on both shows bt better ones on Collision
