[Lizuka #BLM]

I'll give it a 8. Mostly a very good show, hated the women's match and the amount of no-selling in the main event was absurd but neither really breaks the whole thing, for the most part it was very fun. Didn't really make me want to go back to watching week-to-week though, though kind of doubt that me watching anything but special events is happening while all of the top three belts are on people I hate so that's kind of a tall ask of it.

[UN PLOMBIER NIGHTMARE #blm]

9

very good show overall but there was a lot that was really awkward or off

[bog]

10

I liked everything aside from the Jericho match.

Toni's new character has me interested in the women's division again

[Doo Doo Dickhead]

Either the third or fourth 10/10 I've given an AEW show. I felt like this show had a little bit of something for everyone. My least favorite part of it was the Jericho vs. Sammy match and even that was pretty good, a couple sloppy spots aside. Loved that the crowd was hot even for the women's match, which felt very different from everything else (in a good way). Claudio/Eddie, Mox/Fenix and the main event (while overbooked) were all great.

[Cyno]

Going with a 9. Eddie's big moment was everything for me. Was just missing that big "oomph" feel to give it a 10 but great show.

[jamesmac]

5

[Denny Zen is Cooking™]

Very solid 9. I just hope Cole and Mox aren’t injured too badly. That would be a major major blow if either of them have to miss an extended period of time.

[Some Guy]

Going with an 8 mostly because of how much the Sammy/Jericho match bored me and how little I want to see it run back in any capacity or any more of Jericho/Callis shit. Opener/main were both great though and Toni's character work continues to be fun even if I still hate Saraya matches. Hope Moxley is okay mostly.

[Kalmia]

9/10

All of the matches were good to great and most of them went how I expected them to. I did expect Sammy to win, but they're building to something else with Callis so that's okay. The Mox/Fenix match obviously didn't go how it should, so that gets a pass.

My thoughts and best wishes are with Roderick Strong.

[marvelocity]

6

Seems like they were snakebit tonight, with the Mox injury causing the weird ending, Sammy/Jericho being rough in spots, etc. Main event was good, but this Roderick Strong stuff is just not clicking for me - it just seems to complicate things. Would be closer to a 7, but I really didn't like the multiple WWE references tonight.

[Ishmeal Loves Kaseyhausen]

Saraya retaining brings it down to a 9. But I get why.

[Ecks Ecks Ringout Ecks Ecks]

High 9, loved this one. Probably like three of those points for Eddie's moment alone.

[Celgress]

9 out of 10, IMHO.

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

I went 9. Good show live. I don’t think anything topped the opener but it was a blast.

[Deleted]

teetered on 7 and 8 but had to go with 7 just because of how rough multiple finishes and segments were. That first match was amazing and unfortunately it wasn't able to hold on following but there were certainly some fun moments. Let's just be done with the connecting ramps please.

[grunt]

Eh. I was somehow disappointed by Claudio/Eddie (not by the result, which was a given, but I expected something PPV worthy, and I only got something tv worthy, with the 3 min filler that usually come with commercial breaks - the match should have been on PPV), I barely paid attention to Jericho/Sammy (mostly because I've stopped caring about Jericho's storylines a while back), I barely paid attention to Saraya/Storm (for the same reasons, but re:the Outcasts), Mox/Fenix was what it was, considering, and Joe/MJF was fine, but once again, there was no surprise there.

So, eh. That said, I'm not really feling the current storylines, right now, so it was pretty much what I expected.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

Super 10 - an awesome live experience. Probably the best paced Dynamite I've ever been to.

[chazraps]

10. Loved it and didn't even delete it from my DVR after watching with the idea that if any non-fans ask me what AEW is like, I can show them this episode.

[hitman777]

A 10 for the Roddy promo & MJF's Bret Hart intro alone.

A great show from top to bottom and thankfully Mox is OK.
