Rate the LATE NIGHT Dynamite!: 9/23/2020

Not gonna post all the stats and such here, I will configure this and next weeks AEW into next weeks poll to give people enough time to vote on both.

But since this was technically a Dynamite, vote away, let's see how the special showcase does!

Man that was solid, just a really good hour of wrestling, I hope people catch it on DVR's or replays if they didn't especially Ben Carter, that kid is a top prospect.

That was a really fun show! Two excellent matches and Anna/Brandi was solid and told a good story. Flew by.

I'll give it a 9, not the most consequential thing so don't want to go the full 10 but there was a lot to enjoy about it and it flew by.

For what it was, yeah I’m going to go a 7.5. A lot of fun.

Best things were showcasing Ben Carter and Anna Jay. So much potential there.

And not taking anything away from Matt and Spears, they went for it.

[Cyno]

7/10. For three essentially nothing matches, they were all really fun. Sign Ben Carter if you haven't already, AEW. Kid's something special.

It had great story beats too which I appreciate

Sky puts on a banger match with Carter, has an interview later where he talks about fighting upward to get a title shot, Sydal congradulates him and Sky says he'll have his back, and saves him from Spears setting up their rivalry.

Put that with Anna Jay and Brandi's grudge match you not only had good matches but they were not afraid to move things along and set things up. They maximized this hour perfectly. If this is how the second show is it's gonna be fun

A 10 for me. For what it was, a late night special hour of wrestling, I enjoyed it 50 times more than a show I watched on Monday.

Scorpio Sky featured and gets a feud.

Benjamin Carter shown on a national stage, and is a revelation.

Anna Jay and Brandi Rhodes have a solid match, well told, and continues their story.

Spears is finally putting to use the old school gimmick glove, and it's a storyline with Sky.

This is literally, like a perfect little mid card show.

Thought the same thing, it did much more than it had any right to do, and I appreciated it 

[Hypnosis]

8/10.

Fun show, especially the Sky/Carter match. Would love to see PAC vs. Carter on Dynamite in the future.

Liked seeing Jay go over Brandi too.

Sydal's "A couple of eliminations" line, haha.  

Sky's backstage interaction with Sydal leading to Sky coming to the rescue after the Spears main event was good storytelling.

Jericho was great on commentary as always.

[Bad Moon]

I'm gonna hold off on a numerical rating for now since Late Night Dynamite is a new format and there's no average to judge it against yet.
I will say that I thoroughly enjoyed it though. It was like pre-TV NXT, just an enjoyable hour of wrestling showcasing new talent and keeping established talent fresh with new match-ups. It even had Tye Dillinger on the card!

[Yamashita Enforcement Division]

I'd really like for that to be the format for AEW's "Third Hour" on TV. Just the top of the current Dark format, matches that deserve a TV slot, but the competitors might not be ready for Dynamite, plus very cool and good promo packages for Dynamite. All in all a 10/10 for what look like a test bed.

[Mozenrath]

I went with a 9. Getting a new feud going between two guys who needed a program, highlighting Ben Carter, and adding fuel to the Anna Jay and Brandi feud, that's a lot of good stuff.

Felt like a missed opportunity.This was the 1st dynamite I’ve watched since the 1st Jericho/OC match.They had playoff basketball heavily promoting them and put a blah show together that would only appeal to the hardest of the hardcores.

I was impressed with Ben Carter seeing him for the 1st time.

[Celgress]

8 out of 10 - the first match was 4 stars, the second 3 stars, and the third 2 stars. I would have rated it higher but there was nothing super special/exciting and the final match, or "main event" did nothing for me as it was by far the weakest match in terms of build. Still, a great little show overall for what it was.

Also, I'm bored to tears by Spears, just saying. He is so generic both in and out of the ring.

[Zone Was Wrong]

My recording cut off the last couple minutes, because of course, but the whole thing flew by and had 3 solid matches. Ben Carter is that dude and him and Sky put on a banger. Anna Jay continues to evolve and Brandi has really improved. The main event was good but not great, though nothing that I could find fault with. Easy 8/10 for me.

[Dub H]

I do like that besides Jericho on commentary the focus was on AEW's talent and not "come see that guy that recently was in WWE"

Opening with Sky and Carter shows how much trust they have on those two
