Thoughts on Dynamite ...
Wardlow vs. Shaun Spears: Loved the storytelling In this one. Wardlow emerging behind Spears as he got to his feet was beautifully shot. MJF played the asshole ref role to perfection. The accidental unprotected chair shot that Spears delivered to MJF was brutal. Got to get rid of unprotected chair shots. Overall this match cemented Wardlow as a star and he should be pushed in the main event scene from here on out.
Hangman Page/CM Punk segment: Liked what I saw here. Great mic work from Hangman. He's really starting to come into his own. This match could go either way. Very unpredictable. Does TK give it to Punk here or wait? Page is starting groove as the champ so maybe he keeps it on him a little longer.
Eddie Kingston/Jon Moxley vs. Private Party: Okay match. Nothing special.
Roppongi Vice va. FTR: Great stuff from all involved and I loved "United Empire" breaking up the match. Good to see Jeff Cobb back in AEW. Looks like they're starting to build for the AEW/NJPW Supershow. There's a strong possibility that Kazuchika Okada might show up at "Double Or Nothing". I'll mark out hard if that happens.
Swerve Strickland vs. Ricky Starks vs. Jungle Boy: Swerve came off great in this match. Glad he got the win.
Thunder Rosa promo: This was a better promo from Rosa but she's still not great on the mic. Despite this she should have an excellent match with Serena at "Double Or Nothing". The match quality will definitely be there.
Britt Baker vs. Toni Storm: Britt sucks so bad in the ring. She drags down the quality of anybody that works with her. Outside of her lights out match with Thunder Rosa her work is piss poor. It's a shame too because Toni has actually been having some good matches and deserved to go over here.
Kylie O'Reilly vs. Samoa Joe: Great main event. KOR is definitely underrated. Joe going over was the right call setting up the finals against Adam Cole.
Overall good go home show for the ppv this Sunday.
