10 out of 10 it was everything I wanted. A family member is having a serious health crisis from which they may not recover and this was just the pick me up I needed tonight.

I gave it a 9. B&G was fun, but the ending fell flat onto some cardboard. These shows get shorter every week I swear. It's wild to me that Raw is a 3 hour show that feels like 6 hours and Dynamite is a 2 hour show that feels like an hour at this point. Every time I'm really, really into it, there's 20 minutes left and it feels like it just started. Great pacing on the show. Omega's promos as a heel are worlds better than when he was a face. Orange got the reaction that gives you the idea that people are still very thirsty for him as a main eventer, whenever they pull the trigger. I cannot find it in my mind to ever care about Scorpio Sky in any iteration.

Gonna go with a 9/10. Commercial breaks were the only thing that kept this from being a 10 rated show for me. It isn't AEW's fault since TNT's gotta pay the bills, but it still sucked.

I was a massive fan of his during his time in Impact so, I want to see much more of him on TV.

3 out of 10. Would have rather seen PAC confront Omega, the cage match didn't work for me despite my hopes, and anytime I see the Elite (despite some people on here going "Don't watch AEW if you don't like the Elite") is too much. I mean it actively is going to be a problem if you just hate the entire Elite since they are a huge reason AEW even exists. To the point of you know... The E in the name. Yeah, but there are things in AEW that I like that aren't the Elite, so I learned to accept that you can still watch something and not like parts of it. Even if those are, you know, key parts.

It's an 8. Points off for the overlong beatdown at the beginning and for a Wargames-style match not being suited for a show with commercials. TNT really should reconsider the whole "split screen to fullscreen commercials" bit they pull every week, it takes away from the show.

Easy 10 for me. I think lost in the shuffle was that QT/Cody match. Dudes worked their ass off and put on a show.

I want to give a shout out to Max Caster, that line about Pillman ending up on Dark Side of the Ring was merciless.

An easy 9/10 for me, with the best parts of the show being the Cody vs QT and the Blood & Guts matches.
What I didn't like & what I felt could've been improved upon: -The foreshadowing of OC as the next #1 contender. This is something I'd like to see AEW cut out. It spoils the #1 contender's matches when they do that.
-The ending of the Blood & Guts match could've been done better. Jericho could've been made to look more helpless, and his fall could've been done better by angling the camera in such a way that it makes the fall look more brutal. Despite that however, I still enjoyed the match and it will go down as one of the best WarGames matches I've seen over the past few years.

I was a massive fan of his during his time in Impact so, I want to see much more of him on TV. I've actually liked Sky since he started paling around with Ethan Page. It's weird because I thought he's been dull as dirt since SCU starting working face in AEW. Maybe it's Page rubbing off on him.

I give it a 8. Solid show, I just didn't like the Cody vs QT finish (I'm fine with the winner, I didnt like the ending of the match, QT shouldn't have kicked out of the Cross Rhodes if he's going to get submitted immediately after.)
