[This Player Hating Mothman]

Sting in a Sting mask. 10/10 easy don't give a f*** about the rest of the show but it's getting top marks for that

[Dub H]

8.

Britt Breaker dragged the f*** down of the last hour, but most of it was really damn good

[Lizuka #BLM]

I only saw the second hour but I'll give it a 6. It went by quickly and the only thing really wrong with it was the Britt promo but there wasn't really anything particularly great either.

[A Platypus Rave]

Really enjoyable... Britt aside.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

Going with an 8 - very strong episode. Nothing out of this world but a lot of fun top to bottom.

[Fade is a CodyCryBaby]

9.

Everything from the Hangman/Punk stare off was fire. And yes, I include Britt’s gassed promo. I’m happy my bad bitch is back. Best Dynamite in a long ass time.

[Cyno]

9/10. A bad Britt Baker promo was the only downside of an otherwise great Dynamite.

[FinalGwen]

Britt's promo was so long that it's now Friday night and you know what that means?

Anyhow, probably a 6/10 for me.

Positives:
- Sting in a Sting mask.
- Forbidden Door should be fun, and love the logo.
- Punk/Dustin was pretty damn good.
Negatives:
- Britt Baker. Match, promo, presence, everything.
- Sammy and Tay getting more promo time.
- Weirdly anticlimactic ending to the main event, seemed like there should have been more planned?

[Lizuka #BLM]

I've been kind of not wanting to mention it because I figured someone else would but it's been a few minutes so think should fix the thread title/

[kingoftheindies]

honestly? Going 5. I can't really say anything was bad but show was... just okay to me. The main event seemed way too rushed. Not gonna rail on Britt's promo too much, but went way too long. The Sammy/Scorpio segment could have been shorter. I like BCC but they didn't need that match. And while I did enjoy Dustin/Punk I... don't think it needed to be that long? Was enjoyable but... eh.

I do love how Wardlow is getting built up. I do like that Ethan Page is over as hell. I like the Hook/Danhausen stuff. I actually do continue to like how Shafir/Jade and Shida/Deeb are being built. I also really liked KOR/Jungle Boy.

5 may be a bit harsh, but the show just didn't jive with me... and in fairness I do think the rushed main event left a sour taste in my mouth

[smokinvokoun86]

Just another fantastic show as always. I could have done without the Britt promo but other than that, a damn near perfect show.

[mo]

Missed the first half unfortunately but other than the Britt stuff what I saw was a solid 8.

You really need to see Punk/Dustin to give it an appropriate rating, that was a classic

[chrom]

Don't you mean Dynamite?

[Demented]

8 Sting in a Sting mask out of 10.

I don't enjoy Dustin Rhodes so don't feel like anything would be gained from doing so.

[asuka007]

An 8/10. My two negatives were:

1. That Britt promo was BAD. It’s like she’s incapable of not crapping on everyone constantly. And when TK refuses to book the women better, it makes things even worse. Also she got more TV time in one night than Rosa has gotten since becoming champ. And for some reason, TK feels she needs another interview segment on Friday as well.

One night back and I’m already sick of Britt.

2. While I feel like heel Sammy has new life, I have not been fond of how they’ve used Tay so far. She should be doing more than just being Sammy’s arm candy (speaking of Britt, AEW acknowledges her and Cole being a thing and interacting, but they still do their own stuff as well). Give her more to than just hang around Sammy.

[Ecks Ecks Ringout Ecks Ecks]

8/10 seems about right for me. Mostly in agreement with what's already been said. Punk/Dustin was awesome, the Forbidden Door announcement was awesome. Britt's promo was not awesome.

[holyshida]

Solid show. Gave it an 8. Only things I didn't like was Britts promo, decent match but did she really need to Bury the division like that? I thought Jungle Boy should've won as well. Other than that no real complaints
