I'm going to go 6 but it's a hard one to gauge. I think the first 90 minutes of the show were largely pretty good, but it was dragged down by the House of Black / Death Triangle stuff that just gets dumber and dumber the more I think about it, and the last half hour was just total crap.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

Strong 9 from me live. Super fun show that had a bit of everything.

[Duke Cameron]

9

[Milkman Norm]

9 & roughly 7 of those are for MJFs promo.

[Deleted]

I give it a 6. The main event was fire, but the battle royal seemed like a mess, I still have no idea what in the f*** that was with Pentagon and The House of Black, and I will immediately dock points the moment I start hearing worked shoot bullshit like what happened in that Jericho/Kingston deal.

Not one of the better Dynamites, in my opinion.

[Kalmia]

I went for a 7. The show started out on fire but didn't maintain it throughout, I thought. There were some great angles for Revolution though, so the show did its job.

[Peeetah]

9 for me entertaoned from start to finish

[Deleted]

Dynamite is always a fun, quick 2 hours of wrestling. Great main event bookended a really solid show. Even enjoyed the Jade match this week. Only criticism is that I'm a little iffy on how shooty the Jericho/Kingston segment got. It's set up now so that Kingston absolutely has to win, so I really hope he does.

[kingoftheindies]

I gave a 6. The show was... odd. Just felt like the crowd just never got fully invested which took me out of the show a bit. Matches were good and promos were amazing. But show felt off.

That being said a mediocre Dynamite is better than a good WWE show

[FinalGwen]

7 for me.

So, start with the negatives - wasn't hugely into the main event, the women's match was pretty rough, and after hoping for something fresh from Penta didn't end up with much. Also this was JR's worst night in ages. Actively detracted from the show at several points.

On the other hand, the Battle Royal had a good ending with Page/Silver getting to stand tall, there was generally a lot of good development building the PPV, Eddie Kingston is great, and MJF's promo was amazing, probably his best ever.

Just wanted to comment on the woman's match in this sense. While Jade is still insanely raw aside from her match against Ruby I've found her matches entertaining

Yeah, like, not to dump on them, I like Jade quite a bit, she's got so much potential but I don't think this was her best night. The not kicking out of the pin was a pretty noticeable botch and her and Bunny just didn't seem to click.

[El Cokehead del Knife Fight]

I think I'll go an 8, the Pac & Penta vs Black & King match was fine but the beatdown segment went way too long. Shave off 5 minutes from there and give those 5 minutes to the main event and it'd be a very strong 9 as I enjoyed the promos very much.

[asuka007]

A 9/10. There were only a few minor quibbles:

I feel like the Pentagon Dark/Buddy Matthews stuff was handled, oddly.

Jade vs. Bunny wasn’t great and they could have done a better job of setting up Conti as a challenger. Also Conti just being another notch in Jade’s belt feels like a waste to me.

The main event was not that exciting. But the post match stuff definitely made up for that.

Other than that, really fun show.

[holyshida]

I'll give it 9. Some good wrestling, promos and plenty of build for Revolution. The card looks set. Can't see anything else get added.

[Cyno]

Going with a 7. There was a lot of good, but also some stuff I didn't like either. Garcia vs. Danielson was surprisingly disappointing. As cool as it was to see Buddy Matthews in AEW and the House of Black kick ass, wish it wasn't at the expense of Penta's new gimmick (yeah, he won the match, but he still got murked after the fact). The Jade vs. Bunny match was kind of a mess.

I love Alex's entrance costume, though. It was like Sith Lord meets the Observer from MST3k. The battle royal was a lot of fun chaos. Really loved the promo segments, too.

The matches did feel secondary to setting up for Revolution. So while it wasn't a great wrestling show, it did a great job of selling me on the PPV.

Didn't Watch.

[Celgress]

6 out of 10, IMHO, a surprisingly lackluster episode.
