I gave it a 9. I felt it wasn't as good as last week's Dynamite, which was AMAZEBALLS as F***. But it was still a really fun show.
And it happened on the gloriousness of MIRO DAY!

Went with a 7. Good show overall with a few misses.
Opening tag match kinda sucked which is a shame since Janela and Kiss are great.
FTR segment was trash and now we possibly get 20 minutes of them wrestling ever week? Good lord.
No interest at all in this Jericho and Private Party stuff.
Enjoyed the hell out of the rest of the show though. Great main event, Brodie cut a fire promo, women's match was really good, Kenny and Hangman stuff was good.

I rate every episode in relation to each other and... I hate to say this but this was the worst episode of Dynamite I've seen yet. There was no single outstandingly shitty moment but a pervasive shitiness oozing out of the whole show and dragging even the few bright spots down. 1/10.

I actually think this may be the single best episode of this show I have seen. I gave it a 9.
Every segment was packed with content, loads of people appearing without wrestling, even the less good stuff was furthering storylines I wanted to see more of, the matches were great without any being too long, the title matches were both f***ing excellent.
What an episode. I sat and watched the whole thing without playing Lemmings on my phone. I haven't done that in 2020, I think.

Seeing the post immediately preceding mine, I love how varied the opinions on here are.

The more I think about it, I put it like this (and some of this might have been tiredness at the time but I’m making more sense of it)
As a wrestling show? Some of it didn’t quite click with me so I’d probably give it a 6. Probably didn’t help I was tired, probably didn’t help I expected more, probably didn’t help it was my first Dynamite properly since the pandemic.
As a story driven show? Definitely an 8. You have set up for Miro going off on his own in subtle ways, you have set up for Shida/Rosa II, you have set up for Page/Omega, you have stuff with the Bucks, FTR, Best Friends in a good couple of segments, Brodie/Cassidy made Orange look great and Brodie’s promo to set up the next match with Cody was great and considering the situation they were put in, Moxley/Kingston was aggressive in the right ways and left you enough that a rematch will just be more brutal.
So I guess in that regard...7 seems about right. It wasn’t the best Dynamite I had ever seen but a lot of pieces are falling together that I can pass on the fact some of the in ring stuff wasn’t clicking.
