Thoughts on Dynamite ...
CM Punk/Penta Oscuro: Good opener but predictable. It's a shame how Penta is booked in AEW compared to Lucha Underground. He was such a badass there. Now he's just fodder for CM Punk and Malakai Black. He might as well go back to being regular Penta because the dark side of his gimmick doesn't work if he isn't allowed to be a badass.
reDRagon/Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus: Hell of a match. Superb chemistry from all four guys and the creativity of the spots were fun. Post match FTR came out teasing a possible future match with reDRago or Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus. It would be wild if FTR won the AEW Tag Team championships and held all three titles (ROH, AAA, AEW) simultaneously.
MJF/Captain Shawn Dean: This was just a catalyst to continue the MJF/Wardlow storyline as each week Wardlow gets closer and closer to getting to MJF through the crowd. I'm really loving all of this. It's making Wardlow look like a complete beast.
Eddie Kingston, Santana & Ortiz/Chris Jericho, Jake Hager & Daniel Garcia: Good match but I can't stand the Jericho Appreciation Society.
Skye Blue/Marina Shafir: Crowd went dead for this. Match was sloppy and Marina was horrible. This match didn't belong on Dynamite.
Ricky Starks & Powerhouse Hobbs/Keith Lee & Swerve Strickland: Now we're talking. Great fun shit! This was so good I want to see it again. The finish made sense to since Hobbs and Starks are the heels.
Minoru Suzuki/Samoa Joe: About what I expected. Stiff and brutal! Finish was predictable as Suzuki is headed back to Japan so he had to drop the title. Post match Jay Lethal and Sonjay Dutt with assistance of some big ass east Indian dude beat down Joe.
Overall this was a fantastic show. The only low point was the woman's match but pretty much everything else was solid.
