[Denny Zen is Cooking™]

It was kind of trending towards being one of my least favorite episodes of Dynamite ever, but the last 45 minutes or so brought it back up to a 7 for me.

I absolutely LOVED the last segment. Edge and Christian are my favorites ever. I’m so glad this is happening.

[Deleted]

5. fine filler episode with timing and production issues. Glad to see Wardlow back but I still believe he needs a new look. Christian and Toni Storm continue to lead the pack on their respective sides. Excited for next week and to be able to watch both shows simultaneously will be pretty fun.


I just remembered that it was an anniversary episode as it did not seem like one at all and seemingly forgot at times itself.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

Up and down show but landed on an 8 - finished strong.

[Zone Was Wrong]

7/10 might have been 6 if not for the amazing stuff with Adam and Cage at the end there.....Just realized someone could mistake that for Adam Page and Brian Cage and be very confused now lol.

Good stuff but a lot of it felt off or overly drawn out.

[UN PLOMBIER NIGHTMARE #blm]

this is one of the hardest dynamites to rate that i can remember in all honesty

a 6 i think?

it was good but weird. lots i liked about it but i thought it was one of the worst dynamites in a while too and that is with super high peaks like toni storm

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

I went 6. The show kind of went south after the opener but picked up again. Some segments still were too long for my tastes. I think they’re experimenting and seeing what will boost the ratings a bit, but tonight just didn’t really do it for me.

[ben:friendship frog]

It was alright, missed the opening match which was probably for the best for my own personal enjoyment of the show.

They can get f***ed with that unprotected chairshot though. Absolutely no excuse or reason for it.

Why have Edge talk to Omega and Jericho and tease his hatred of Callis if he doesn't make the save and then comes out all smiles later and doesn't even mention it?

The Edge and Christian interaction was great though. When they do eventually reunite it'll be very special.

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

6 could go lower then that

This was a low energy show for its anniversary

Also, yeah no on the unprotected chairshots 

[This Player Hating Mothman]

It was a gimmicked chair at least

I doubt they do it again and saved it for a moment like this, but much like weapons in movies, it was definitely safe

What's a shame is we didn't have this shit in the 90's when it would have mattered a ton.

[Doo Doo Dickhead]

Mixed bag this one. Some good stuff though, so 6.5 rounded up to 7.

[The Ichi]

7, though leaning 8 with the ending.

For a man that has vertigo, neck and spin issues they can f*** off with that gimmicked or not 

Shouldn't have any place in 2023 wrestling 

[Kalmia]

One of those weird post-PPV shows that are necessary, but don't always hit the way you want them to. It was a show to set up the next few weeks and I think it did a pretty decent job at that. Not on the level of recent shows though.

Go f*** yourself (7) /10

That was the point, Excalibur even said that, almost word for word

And for the reasons you listed, Kenny ain't doing that unless he knows it's safe, he wouldn't take any unnecessary risk like that

[kingoftheindies]

Gave a 7. Fun show but clearly a bit of a breather.

[Some Guy]

4 probably. Loved stuff with Christian and Toni. Seeing Hobbs destroy was cool. Wardlow destroying was also cool.

Other side of stuff...Fenix/Nick was basically exactly what I don't like when those two can get into shit, the MJF promo was awful, and Acclaimed feel so completely directionless at the moment.

[Celexa Bliss 54]

7.

Pros: Nick vs. Fenix, "Timeless" Toni Storm, Roddy manipulating Adam, Hobbs joining The Don Callis Family, the Christian/Copeland segment

Cons: the audio issues, Wardlow just kinda showing up, that chair shot (yes, I know it was worked), the MJF/Bullet Club segment (just kind of fell flat for me, if others liked it, fair enough)
