Though last weeks episode was better, this was still a pretty good Dynamite imho. Bucks vs Hardys, Lucha Bros vs BCC and the MJF/Cole/Strong segment were the best parts for me and it was cool to see RVD in thr ring as well.
One of the highlights of tonight actually came during the pre-stream where we talked about Star Wars lore and half the chat forgot about the main event lol
RVD just made most of that locker room look like chumps. I haven't seen his work in many years, and wasn't expecting much given his age, and now all I want is more. …Tony wouldn't know what to do with him though, so maybe its best he isn't signed to fued with Jay Lethal and Satnam Singh. 🤷♂️
11:48 From the business point of view, it feels a little bit improvised. My wife and I bought the forbidden door + All out and full gear (?) thus all remaining (as we thought) AEW-PPVs in a bundle on fite TV in may.
And then came All-in. For me All-in was a lucky idea they had in the summer.
25:24 still have to watch it (Europe), but I don't look forward to Hardy-Matches anymore. Jeff is visibly in so much pain when he performs it makes me wince.
Maybe the reason for the ROH tag match is to have an injury (Maybe not enough to forfeit the Word Title Match). Which gives an excuse to the outcome of the title match. Thing is I could see either guy faking an injury to get an advantage.
It was stupid to bring RVD back, then have him lose to the skinny punk Jack Perry. It made RVD look like a fool, and nobody wanted to see him lose to that jerk Jack Perry.
I got a feeling warlow will make a pop up in London as a surprise at least one them, turning heel or maybe 🤔 joining Don family or this is a long shot joining MJF start from the beginning have him join MJG have him help him to keep the belt story is MJF helped him get his passport everything to have that hang over him or maybe 🤔 wait til mjf vs punk have warlow cost punk the match that would have warlow get a huge pop
Ok to that guy that wants to shift change to take over TK sounds fun but I think wwe needs it more if your gonna have fun with it remember WWE doesn't work well with others stale booking so be Vince McMahon that would be more crazy then tony klan sorry TK but Vince McMahon has more crazy life then you
Main event was underwhelming. It should have been something to start Omega's match at All In. Sounds like something will start it next week. Anyways Collision is easily the best show and their main events are always big and deliver. Thank god for Cm Punk.
Also Solomonster, who do you think Jay White should face at All In? Correct me if I am wrong but I don't think Jay White has wrestled at a AEW ppv since becoming All Elite.
Thank god the JAS is over. I hated that faction. Also we need more Don Callis promos in the ring. Need that heel heat from the crowd.
TK having the women main event Dynamite two straight weeks reminds me of one of Vince's dumb ideas that only lasts 3 weeks. Women main eventing won't last long.
So shida has to compete in a tournament for her own belt. But storm has a pass even tho she lost her belt a few weeks ago???….. Kahn is a horrible booker. Cole mjf lose a tag title match for the real belts so now kahn is gonna give them the nobody roh belts???…. booker of the year i tell ya!!!! Lmao. Aew is DOA.
I knew the women were added to the main event mainly because TK wanted to pat himself on the head for it… it did not escape my notice that the men who main event usually get 20 to 15 mins while the women had about 10 shrug
I'm very concerned about what Hangman Page, Ricky Starks and Bullet Club Gold are going to do at All In. I don't want to see Joe vs Punk again when Joe can't deliver a good match anymore. I especially do not want to see Jericho vs Ospreay. It's not going to be a banger matches. I would book Hangman Page vs Will Opsreay and Punk vs Joe vs Starks vs White in a fatal-4-way match at All In. Jay White is still involved in a feud with Punk and FTR. It would make sense to put White in a mix for Punk's title. I'm not feeling the hype for All In due to the disappointing match card. I just hope certain matches such as Joe vs Punk, and Ospreay vs Jericho is not confirmed.

Cole joins the kingdom and they beat max down

Tony Khan going All In on the rematches lol
I'm just here for be the booker, I'm starting to look forward to the women's match the most for how bad it can be lol

You remind more of Jerry Seinfeld than Jake Hager
Petition for AEW to make a shirt for roddy. That says, One strong CAW lmao 🤣

Vince has more things to worry about than TK lol!

The mask ripped off spot is just getting old to me
I feel FTR should definitely win at Wembley against the Bucks.
AEW is by no means perfect, but their tag division is fantastic.

FTR vs Bucks great in theory but it's just booked to put the Bucks over in the biggest moment they possibly could get.
It seems like the women’s division needs their own head of creative. Steamboat might be a good choice after seeing last week’s collision.
I knew the women were added to the main event mainly because TK wanted to pat himself on the head for it… it did not escape my notice that the men who main event usually get 20 to 15 mins while the women had about 10 shrug
The dodgeball segment was fantastic
They should tag All out, All Out fallout after wembley 😂

They had a promo where Anna talked about how she debuted against Hikaru Shida and that sort of explained the title match. Might've been on Rampage.
RVD!
