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

Comments

Team HAMMA FIST

I’ll catch Dynamite when I can, I just wanted to jump in first and say the new set looks incredible! Everything’s coming up WrestleTalk! DM me your mailing address, I’ve got the PERFECT poster for the new set.

Victor Oceguera

Will Ospreay is the reason I got back into wrestling he’s my favorite wrestler ever but I’m ngl I don’t know how I feel about this united empire faction I don’t think he needed it and I feel like him having to be grouped up is gonna hold his title reign back it could get good and I trust the process I used to hate the death riders and now they’re my favorite group but im just not sure at the moment

FKA Shrockmaster

Support@wresletalk.com is the best way to get in touch for that type of stuff

NotDom

LUKE! this is unrelated to dynamite but i just saw you rated X2 5 stars on letterboxd and i just NEEEEEED to know your opinion and why

NotDom

Do we think Cope is winning another World Title before he retires??

Don

Fun episode of dynamite. I know Blood and Guts will probably have either Death Riders or Don Callis teams, but after this past weekend in Japan I really want a united empire Civil War with Callum Newman winning and challenging Will. Nick Wayne is currently my favorite wrestler. I was laughing every time he shot Pyro when he said he beat Jericho, but I have to give Jericho credit for the way he interrupted the celebration. The anti-Jericho crowd also made me laugh with their heckling. After all, the Muppet is the superior version of Fozzy Also, wishing my dad Christian Cage a speedy recovery

Harkaran Tumber

I love AEW but almost 3 and a half hours for TV is a bit much no? What do you think OLI? I know the third hour is Collision BUT there are key factors which will lead to WrestleDream ALSO OMG TEASING ILJA 👁️👄👁️

Harold Bobert Hawking

I'm not huge on the sudden shift to a new podcast studio. I think I would've preferred some weeks of building descent within the WrestleTalk offices. Some backstage segments where Luke and Oli talk about their dislike of the current set-up and leaving on a lingering side eye in the studios direction, maybe.

Will B

Underwhelming episode of Wednesday Night Raw. Rarely disappointed by Dynamite, but this did it.

FKA Shrockmaster

I thought this was a lovely little episode of Dynamite. I didn't love the New Level segment but not everything on the show will be for me. I just wish I knew the rules for the Clockwork Carnage match!

Amomantra94

Probably a 3/5 show tonight, some great matches but a few things didn’t quite land for me. Didn’t need the comedian whose name I’ve already forgotten, the unfortunately unsurprising rubber match announced between Nick Wayne and Chris Jericho. But having said that, I think the vignette that aired during the Collision portion was for Ilja Dragunov. So therefore an 11/10 show, no notes.

Andrew M.

I still reserve my expectations of what Clockwork Carnage will be (can be) because if there's any lineup to test it out, it's the boys that qualified. Also, I think I heard Russian behind that metronome...

Moses

I feel really mixed about Edge/Copeland announcing his retirement. Selfishly he’s another one of my all time favourites (after AJ and Cena) hanging them up. On the other hand he’s been able to have a second in WWE and reunite with his best friend and become tag team champions again. Ultimately,the thing that makes me happiest is that he’s been able to retire on his terms. Ps my money is on him winning the world title next year in Canada.

Lawson Douvier

I know this is overdue, but I was reminded tonight of the only PAC match I ever saw live. PAC vs Okada at the first Dynasty. Spectacular match, and easy match of the night on any card that doesn’t have Ospreay vs Danielson on it. Go back and check it out because it holds up. And awesome set. So classy

Acon22

Show was meh… idk if it’s just me but for the past few weeks, I don’t see any story development and the lack of energy for the show. I saw the card tonight and all the qualifying matches for all were predictable. No shock at all and oh my God I forgot the Motor City Machine Guns was in the company. Have they even had a match yet? Sometimes it shows that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side not saying that they were great in WWE but it’s insane that you have one of the best tag teams in the last decade and they’re doing absolutely nothing for the past couple of months. Also, I’m kind of tired of Will Osprey being champion thought we’re gonna get more with him and Mox but that doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen anytime soon. I think what they should do is take the belt off of him on Saturday but again the match looks too predictable and it’s gonna be a 45 minute banger no doubt, but Osprey up.

Lex Sells Merch

FINALLY a storyline for the Motor City Machine Guns. I don’t think they beat FTR in the best of 5 series. But this is a dream matchup I never thought possible when FTR took over the top spot as my favorite tag team from MCMG

Sticki Matt

I was there !!! It was so much fun and all the matches were phenomenal or at least very entertaining. But please answer me on why it managed to have a near 30 minute overrun even with an extra hour. I know oli will have some words- Overall it was a great show and I had a great time. I personally think they did a decent job with building up the clockwork carnage given everything that has happened the last couple weeks. Interested in your guys thoughts and excitement level. Love you guys, jam that jam.

RedDeadGinger

Thought tonight's show was a better go home show than AEW has typically put on as of late. Felt like we had some angles going into Wrestledream and even though the Clockwork Cock-Off still feels a bit contrived I'm excited to see it mainly for all the guys that will be in it. New Level & Swerve vs. Brodido & Hangman might be my most anticipated angle wise cause Hangman seems to be getting a bit unhinged and that genuinely excites me because I missed Hangman and Swerves rivalry back in 2024 so a potential sequel has me hyped. Cope announcing his retirement for next year did bum me out a bit given that he was the reason I remained a wrestling fan when I started watching back in 2008. Overall, good show! I'm an AEW Mark so I was going to watch the PPV anyway but this go home show did have me by the end saying "well now I gotta watch Wrestledream."

Roy Wickiser

FTR vs. MCMG's in a best of five series!?!?!?!? Woohoo!! Huzzah!! Excelsior!!

Lucien Grey

I thought this was a good Go-Home show for WrestleDream, despite being surprised that it was the Go-Home show! The qualifier matches for the Clockwork Carnage were somewhat predictable, but that didn't stop them from being exciting. Looking forward to WrestleDream! My only wish is for a Young Bucks victory, just because I want Fletcher to dump Knight and go back to being a singles competitor!

Brent

MCMG did have a match on Collision shortly after All In. I heard that they have doing live music shows which is why they haven't been around.

Johnny Stemple

I was at the show! Had a blast, my partner got genuinely scared of Gabe Kidd running up the stairs to out section. Overall I think this episode was really about hyping up Wrestledream and i think it did a good job. Can't wait to see clockwork carnage.

Thomas westhead

Hello lads, just curious whether you think Dynasty will be treated as an honest to god AEW ppv, or if there’s potential for a B level show card? In the sense that it will be 8-17 heatless bangers thrown together the week before, as opposed to a big step or culmination of ongoing storylines. On Tuesday me and my friend got our tickets for the show, 4th row ringside! and we’re hoping the £500 ticket price suggests the former. It also got me thinking about the potential for a Wrestletalk fan event?, Box Park is a literal 10 minute walk from the arena, and selfishly.. my house. It would be great to finally meet some of this wonderful community, get very drunk, and watch some fantastic wrestling matches. Love you lads, Support Wrestletalk.

Brandon

I kinda wish any of the clockwork carnage match was more of a surprise. we already KNOW wills not losing the title during this match so why not have some upsets in those qualifiers. I have no doubt that this will be a fun match but looking at it, it just feels like a rushed way to get the big guys on the card without building any real feuds

Brent

I was also at the show and was a lot of fun as usual. My favorite spots were Okada pretending to scratch his own back only to give a middle finger to the crowd and Ciampa trolling the crowd of pretending to start of taking his own trunks off while we were chanting for Andrade to take off his pants. Also Samoa Joe doing the NOPE! spot on the Oz Cutter was awesome. The New Level segment was cringe because of the unknown comedian which we were all like "Who's this guy?" It could have been better if Brody King beat up the guy. It was a possibility because Bandino had a RoH dark match before the show.

Romeo Casido

I can't add anything insightful. My list of complaints from the show will probably be the same as the podcast and comments. The show has been off the burner for a while now. Darby's title defense run to beach break was the good ol' days of 10/10 dynamites. And this sounds crazy but I may not buy the PPV. Never thought I would think that about an AEW PPV. They haven't betrayed me, but I feel let down.

Romeo Casido

Great points. But to defend the treatment of MCMG, Fightful did report that MCMG did have scheduled engagements that made them unavailable until Oct... They wanted to debut only when they were fully available but TK introduced them in Sept anyway

Brent

I think this is not going to be the norm for this type of match. With PAC suddenly dying, they lost an entire episode of Dynamite. So I'm giving AEW a pass on this because of the circumstances but if future Clockwork Carnage matches are like this build wise, then the criticism is valid. Maybe the match can build on some current feuds or even make new ones like old Royal Rumbles used to be like.

Jonathan “The Headmaster” Hedman

I really enjoyed this episode and liked they finally did an old go home shmoz. I hope Edge gets a chance to fight for but not win the aew championship

Chris deaton

I am so glad edge got to come back and end his career the way he wanted to. Hate seeing another one of my all time favorites go. Christian is the freaking man for continuing that match with multiple broken ribs and a collapsed lung.

Joe Gleeson

On Clockwork Carnage, AEW normally does these kind of multi person mmatches really well with different storylines crossing over but this feels like "a bunch of lads" I'm sure the match will be great fun but feels like AEW might be slightly spinning wheels until the Continental Classic

KFizzle4

Nevermind that S: HERE COMES ILJA!!!

james knight

Not had a chance to watch yet but loaded up myaew and saw 3.29 and instantly went 'Oli is gonna lose his shit at a 3 hour show WITH A 30 MINITE OVERRUN' and I can't help agree this time regardless of how good the action ends up being

Dante Peoples

Great wrestling in tonight's show. Cage and Takeshita was my match of the night for sure. Side note...not sure how I feel about the new digs, seems smaller and a we bit dungeon(y). PLEASE explain why a Ready to Rumble poster is on the wall. Of all the wrestling movies, Ready to Rumble?

DerBilz99

The last few shows were mostly great wrestling (although the Mox segment was incredible), I get it and because of the circumstances the right thing but I am ready for some story telling in the next weeks

Raoul Henderson

A fairly good episode (which is the floor) that never got great. Please no "celebrity" in my wrestling if nothing fun is done with them, sad to see the lack of reaction for MCMG and all the qualifying matches were good but very predictable. Still, it's great to see how Okada have gone from struggling to adapt to american TV matches to one of the best TV wrestlers out there, and Reed impresses every time, match of the night for me. PS: I hope you saw the Andrade Oku match and then the Ciampa crowd reaction from last week's collision !

Real One's GEORGIE TUFFS

I'm going back through the wrestle talk collections, and during the Nexus series theirs a conversation about how tiering and annoying the death Riders are. Amazing to think how a few years ago no one could stand that death Riders guitar and now it gets one the biggest pops whenever it drops

Marcin Saturday

Cope(Edge) has been my favorite wrestler since I was a child. The only gift my brother ever bought me was a wrestling chair with Edges face on it because he knew he was my favorite and I still have it to this day. Watching him retire, return, and do a run in AEW has been the highlight of my wrestling fandom. I want Cope to go out the right way, preferably with a satisfying end to his career. I don't know if this includes a world title reign, it just doesn't feel right. I would much prefer him to chase the international title if anything. Honestly I'm a bit numb from the news. I knew there was more road behind him than in front of him but I guess no one's prepared to say goodbye to their first favorite.

Pogo is here

This Jon Moxley stuff is so good and i am really looking forward to seeing where it is going. The death riders feel almost like a family now with everyone being in the group being there for each other and the moxley break down was so real feeling with Shafir giving a prep talk really here for this.

Reece Hatfield

While the in-ring action was top notch as always, there was nothing super exciting on this show. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt since this has been a pretty cursed month for AEW, but I was hoping for a touch more given this is the only real week of build they've had for WrestleDream. I am excited to see where they're going with Moxley though as it seems like they're starting a downward spiral type of story with him which could be a really interesting direction for him

Colin Piper

This Dynamite was cathartic to me. My partner and I had to put our cat down today. It was sudden, unexpected and out of nowhere. So when I sit down (with the right amount of buzz) and watch the Death Riders do their thing in the face of such a loss it really made me feel better. I want to flip off everyone like Marina Shafir, I want to experience the joy of dancing like an idiot like Danny Garcia, and I really feel against the world. And yes, they eventually lost to the DCF, but thats okay because I fucking love Mark Davis. It's a win-win for me.

BlackYakuzu94

3 1/2 hours of Dynamite was as exhausting as you expect. Big thing was obviously Copeland announcing his retirement, which I'm not too surprised given he said winning the tag belts with Christian was his last major accomplishment, but its still surreal we're about to lose Cena, AJ, and Copeland in 3 consecutive years. Do you think he wins enters the Owen and wins the World title similar to Bryan Danielson just a few years ago?

jad_ofalltrades

Am I the only one who thinks Wardlow is gonna be the one to take the continental title off of Mox? I thought they might be pushing Davies to do it but him winning this week makes me think Mox is retaining, but what better way to bring back Wardlow and just make it clear they won't squander it than by him taking the title off of Mox, maybe he (Wardlow) wins the Continental Classic

Matt

The Copeland announcement hit me in the feels. Edge is one of my all time favorites and while I haven’t loved most of his storylines since 2020 I’m so happy for him to have had the chance to do these last few years. He really should be proud of this run and I really hope he has an injury-free 2027

Seth Colegrove

Great wrestling on tonight's show, but the highlight for me was Walker Stewart. He is just the best announcer. I am a New Japan/Stardom guy, so I don't want him getting to comfortable in AEW, but I am always glad to hear him on the call.

TheTC

I don't know if it's the personal stuff in my life or the Pac tribute show, but this show got me so excited for Wrestledream this Saturday. To to bottom is i think is going to be a phenomenal show, at least the potential as such to me

James Boulton

Luke: booking Adam Copeland against Will Ospreay at Dynasty would be an actively insane idea. You were at All In. Will Ospreay is hugely over in the UK - it's effectively a whole country home town. Copeland would get heel heat the moment his music stopped playing.

Dr Squishy

Prediction for Blood and Guts. Sting Jr is the last one to enter and immediately attacks Darby, joins the Callis Family and turns heel. It immediately puts him as a top 5 heel in the company when he’s not top 25 face. A really good looking dude is a more natural heel and it would cover for his limitations. Kyle Fletcher is wrestling Ospreay at the ppv and will lose because despite Don’s protests he won’t cheat. Fletcher gets kicked out, and becomes a top face immediately, with Borden Jr taking his place in the Family.
