High 7. I wouldn't run a show there again if they don't have to. Terrible crowd.
Jeff's debut was anticipated and I hope he's there to elevate the tag team division

9. Decent enough fallout from revolution.
Hoping Sky gets a bit of a run with the title to reignite his early potential.

Felt like an attitude era post ppv show where everything started fresh and a bunch of crazy shit happened. Turns, title changes, debuts! Oh my!

I'll echo what others said about the crowd. Maybe I'm spoiled since AEW crowds are usually hot, but between the What chant during Eddie's promo (which I don't remember ever hearing on an AEW show as the crowds are usually respectful) and what sounded like lack of enthusiasm throughout the show (other than for Jeff), tonight's crowd was very disappointing for a Dynamite show.
Other than that, I liked the show overall.

Yeah I wish Nashville would have got an episode like this instead the filler episode we got. We were hot as hell for it. I think tonight’s show we would have lost our shit.

I would have had to AHFO and Jericho segments a little more spaced apart. Just a minor nitpick.

The ending gets a 10/10.

I feel like I watched a different show because I thought the crowd was pretty good.

I debated between a 6 and a 7. Still lightyears ahead of Raw this week... I settled on a low 7.
Pros: ~ surprises! It felt so much like a Raw after Mania with 3 title matches featured, teams splitting, teams forming, etc. It felt like they're building something new now.
~ William Regal can still cut a promo, dammit!
~ As much as I don't like Jeff or Matt Hardy, Jeff was a cool wrestling moment. Can't make this a con, yet.
Cons: ~ none of the matches clicked. This might've been their weakest in-ring Dynamite of 2022.
~ no MJF or CM Punk. My assumption is they're selling the dog collar match, or they need to wait a week for the next program, but one last promo from one of them (preferably CM Punk) would have been fitting.
~ personal creative disputes. Not a fan of Jeff Hardy signing, Adam Cole still in the title picture, Acclaimed and Dante Martin getting title matches, Inner Circle disbanding for JAS, and FTR face turn are several directions I wouldn't personally go. I'll give it time because usually AEW delivers, but still.

Also not really confirmed that Cole's still in the title picture, I assume Page transitions to Punk but it's after we get more Elite tension.

I think AEW might need to dial back just a bit. It feels like they try to pack A LOT into their shows and sometimes segments do not get tinge time and/or room to breathe that they should.

I like the fast paced style, but yeah they need to slow down sometimes. Like especially after Jeff's debut they should've taken an ad break, but they went to a backstage segment with Lee/QT or Swerve/Nese and I wasn't feeling that after such a big moment You definitely need to let the crowd regroup imo

This was a Fallout Show so I'm gonna give it a pass, they clearly wanted to show a lot of hard resets and stuff moving and shaking AEW goes through these periods, they'll slow down, but this was the Post-PPV show, it had to be packed.

8/10 for me. Mostly good stuff, not so great crowd.
I know it's production music and therefore fair game, but even still, hearing the Hardys' WWE theme on an AEW show blew my mind.

The only downside to the title change? A goddamn Lambert promo that is sure to come. Ugh.
….but at least Wardlow is gonna power bomb everyone straight to hell next week…..
Anyway…. Fun show (just now watched on my DVR…wasn’t able to watch live) and that Regal promo was…just…:perfection.
10.

The post All Out and Full Gear Dynamites were the exact same- breakneck paced. I'm not the biggest fan of it, but its starting to become a pattern on the 'Fallout' Dynamites to the point where it gives them their own kind of charm. Anyway, 9/10 for me. I loved the freshness that this episode brought to the company. Crowd weren't the greatest but I didn't think they were actively bad. Time to take a nice long break from Florida shows now, though. That well is dry.

6. This was easily the worst Dynamite in a year of watching. In fact, my wife said "this feels like Vince booked it", and I had to agree.
TWO unannounced title matches against unworthy contenders (and hasn't Jurassic Express already beaten the Acclaimed?). Everything seemed rushed and thrown together. FTR fire Tully with literally no buildup because he kinda sorta interrupted a promo, wut?
I can only assumed the rumours of Rosa being injured are true, because she was seriously struggling with Leyla, and given there was literally no reason for this match to exist I have to wonder why the hell she wasn't given the week off to recover leading into a steel cage match.
They still won't have Danhausen do anything but hang around randomly at ringside and curse people, which is a complete waste of him (hiring somebody and then not letting them do the thing that is why you hired them is, again, a very Vince thing to do).
I do not care about seeing Wheeler Yuta get killed by random people far above him on the card. Stop putting it on the main shows. This is time that could have been used for a competitive match using people that are inexplicably always stuck on Dark and Elevation, like Emi Sakura.
The main event was so badly booked that the crowd openly turned on Sammy for part of it. I'm happy Scorpio won, although it's presumably to die at the hands of Wardlow next week, but he barely wrestled in the match and looked like a complete chump, which struck me as overkill. The man can wrestle, let him do it. He could have ground down Sammy after the dive through the table and it would've been a much better actual match.
Breaking up three factions in one night is repetitive booking. I'm amazed they held off on doing the Elite breakup too.
Regal's promo was of course great, and Wardlow's promo was good. Jericho making a new faction where the spotlight is 100% on him makes sense. Keith Lee and QT interacting made sense and was fun for what it was. So it wasn't TERRIBLE, but it also wasn't very entertaining. Rampage already looks considerably more interesting, so hopefully this was a one week blip.
Oh yes, and this is literally the first time Jeff Hardy has been an active member of the roster of a show I am watching, since I kept just missing him during the times I've watched WWE. So I'm not really excited he showed up, but at least I'll finally see him as an active roster member! And then I hope they go their separate ways again because I'm only really interested in seeing Matt if he's being entertainingly insane.
