A solid 9. The only thing I didn't care for was the Wardlow bit

For real though, we need to talk about this Britt Baker shit. I can't believe they had the audacity to, erm... Have her lose cleanly and decisively. Huh. Being serious that was a great fake-out injury on her part, she sold that really well. I'm not entirely convinced she didn't get hurt a little. Girl's head bounced hard Toni's ass has some mass to it..

Wardlow thing was at least short so I don't mind it too much but it was a mess. Would've helped tremendously if 1), they didn't seem to change the rules for elimination midway through the match, and 2), he didn't keep pinning people on their stomachs.

A 9/10:
Sammy aligning with Jericho again is probably a good move. And then involved in the NJPW stuff us cool. But I wish they’d let Tay do her own stuff. She feels like even more like arm candy now.
Dax vs. Ospreay was awesome. Dax has become the workhorse of AEW and Ospreay is one of the best.
Jay White continues to be great.
Page vs. Miro was fun.
Toni won clean. And Britt with a great sell job. Great stuff. I love Rosa, but I would have no issue with Toni winning the belt.
The main event was bonkers. And we finally got the Christian heel turn.
Really fun show.

I rarely give out 10's, but this was a 10
Dax vs Ospreay was a straight up banger where both men looked great
Miro and Page had a great hoss match
The story being told between Jericho and Kingston keeps getting more and more hot
BRITT FINALLY LOST A f***ING MATCH TO SOMEONE NOT NAMED THUNDER ROSA
That Mox/Tanahashi segment did exactly what it was supposed to do
Lots of intrigue with what the Knife Pervert is going to do
Wardlow killing people cartoonishly will never get old
Christian turning felt like it was just the right time.
It was a show that did rely on a lot of heel heat which I'm genuinely not a fan of, but it was done in such a way where you really felt like the heels were going to get their shit rocked in due time, which is how it should be.
Fast paced but never rushed.
Easy 10.

Do have to give a shout out that this might've been an all-timer in terms of the Dynamite thread itself. That was a lot of fun.

9/10. Great show from top to bottom. Best Dynamite in awhile.

A nice nine!
Regal pulling out another stormer at the commentation station adds +1 to the overall score.
Me thinking Fuego had gotten rather buff was a nice swerve and good way to give Sammy, Sammy, Sammy some direction.
But the security guard nonsense was the detractor. (Notice how many of them didn't know how to go up for a powerbomb?) Needed Menacing Mark shouting at Wardlow on a house mic throughout the beatdown to help distract.
To pile on even more evidence to these 'well, duh' statements, Dax and the Young Bucks are excellent at their jobs as shown by their matches tonight!

Britt lost clean.
Absolute banger of a match with Ospreay vs Dax
Britt lost clean
Great Tag Title match leading to Jungle Boy' first(I think) solo feud
Britt lost clean
Wardlow having a ridiculous 'only in pro wrestling' match that was short and sweet
Britt lost clean
Miro V Ethan was solid.
No complaints
Easy 9/10

Dax vs. Osprey was awesome in person. The live crowd was really into it.

Really fun show with a lot more focus on the NJPW guys.
But there is a Max-shaped hole in the show right now.

10.
Best NJPW integration thus far. Solid matches throughout, plus that ending was damm-near perfect.

I gave it an 8, enjoyed more than last week's show. Jericho/Ortiz and the Young Bucks/Jurassic Express were the highlights to me.

Toni Storm's Ass of Steel versus Matt Jackson's Ass of Exploding Tables Lead!
Billy Gunn as guest referee!
Book it, Tony!
I was gonna go a 9 because honestly that frigging Wardlow segment, but what the hell, every single actual match was excellent, Willow Nightengale is a real roster member now and I am so verrrry happy to see Heel Christian again, those wash the bad taste out of my mouth and then some.
First 10 I've given an AEW show of any sort.

I was a bit dazed watching this one so I probably didn't have as much focus on it as I wanted.
It did seem a bit...messy in parts, trying to make pieces fit and work but on the other hand, they seem confident about what they want for the show itself along with the ending being absolutely great so...8.

8/10. The Wardlow/Plaintiffs match was a mess, but there were lots of nice surprises, and even though Christian teased turning on Jungle Boy for so long, the payoff was worth it with the vicious beatdown and post-show insults to JB's mother and sister. I'm not entirely convinced she didn't get hurt a little. Girl's head bounced hard Toni's ass has some mass to it.. Just ask Io Shirai and her leg.

About as a perfect as a show that I've seen anyway. Sure there was minor hiccups here and there and some of the stuff I hate (overbooking) rearing its ugly head but it doesn't take away from it being an amazing show. 10/10
Best Match: Will Ospreay vs Dax Hardwood & Young Bucks vs Jungle Express (Tie)
Worst Moment: Jericho interrupting the Tanahashi vs Moxley segment

I gave it a 9/10. The Wardlow match would have worked better as a gauntlet, but then they couldn't have done him pinning four guys at once so I understand why it was structured the way it was.
I thought that most of the NJPW stuff was handled very well and although the latter half of the Mox/Tanahashi segment became a little messy because there were so many people involved, they managed to keep it just about on the tracks. Tanahashi telling Jericho to shut up deserves at least a 9
