Like a 7 or 8. The MJF/Cole stuff was great. B&G was kind of boring. I laughed at the way it ended with Mox handcuffed looking like a sad punished schoolboy.

10. Possibly the best episode of Dynamite I've watched.

9/10:
Taking a point off for lack of respect to the women.

We had...
Hollywood Jack Perry embracing his darkside.
MJF screaming "IT'S A MASH-UP! IT'S A MASH-UP!", and it was so damn cute.
Then we got a dance-off!
A bed of f***ing nails.
Tony Schiavone shrieking "what the hell are we doing?!"
Omega and Ibushi reuniting in the ring for the f-CAMERA CUTS AWAY
Takeshita and PAC leaving, and it was good storytelling.
9/10
(if we did halves would be 9.5)
Not a perfect show, but goddam was it close.

9 for me. Like others wasn't keen on getting in a Britt squash, maybe just have a promo by one of the women's champions rather than sticking Statlander in a busy room with the Best Friends, Darby and his son? But overall think it was a well balanced night of wrestling.
JB/Hook established a new character and ended an undefeated streak in a decent little match, MJF/Cole/Garcia/Sammy was a great comedy match and MJF's skill at getting the simplest of moves over is genuinely revolutionary, and the Blood And Guts match did a good job standing out from the others with unique spots and a well told story.
I like that after all their fractious years, the Elite being a well oiled unit while the BCC and their allies fell apart (with callbacks to Mox and PAC's previous outings). Then there's Yuta being smart enough to get down from the top but ultimately being cornered and put in more danger, and Moxley submitting for the team when the real danger of strangulation with the chain comes out, just like he did in the Texas Deathmatch against Page. He's a vicious guy, but he knows when it's time to live to fight another day, and that's a great character beat.

9/10. Maybe the two best television shows AEW has ever done back to back. I was thinking the same thing. Collision was great and they were able to follow it up just as good which is hard to do. Excellent back to back shows. 9. |

9/10, really enjoyed the MJF/Cole vs. Guevara/Garcia match and will be sad for the eventual heel turn by MJF.
I thought the main event was good but not really into the hardcore stuff like tacks, etc so it was okay for me.
Strong showing with a big crowd in Boston and looking forward to Collision on Saturday.

Can't go for a 10 because I was so damn irritated by the treatment of the women.
Main event was great tho

8. A full 2 points off for the treatment of the women's division (specifically the world champion) tonight. There's no excuse.

9. Should be a 10 in isolation but wasting one long undefeated streak is dumb, wasting two is completely stupid.
