You were lucky I wish I had done so too..

Gonna go with 5. Title match aside I enjoyed the opening bit with Garcia/Jericho/Bryan, as well as Ricky Starks' promo, and the stellar main event.
AND KIP SABIAN DID SOMETHING!

Everything else was alright.

Right now All Out is ice cold to me, last year's was one of the best (if not the best) PPV I've ever seen from top to bottom...this year...feels uninspired and slapdash.

I'm glad more homegrown talent are getting on there (Acclaimed, Ricky and Hobbs), but this year just feels like TK's weaknesses as a booker are all coming to a head.

As always I'm open to being proven wrong, but that's how it feels to me right now.

Edit: I also would have preferred The Elite vs. United Empire for the finals based on the fact it would have easily stolen the show/given me something to look forward to.

I'm going with a rare 10 rating for me. It was wild. At this point, I can't say if it that is good or bad. What I can say is that it will be one of the most memorable episodes of Dynamite for months to come. AEW needs that right now.

With the Vince retirement, the HHH taking over creative, and the momentum WWE television is getting right now, AEW needed to do something to get some buzz going about them. This episode did just that.

This episode probably captures the "AEW booking style" in a nutshell the most: one fantastic technical match, one wild flippity dippity spotfest type match, a few great promos, and one crazy, attention grabbing surprise that will get people talking.

As the poll results show, it's a very divisive way of doing things, but it definitely gets people talking.

Last week should be 8.31, not 8.90, unless the 1 votes are not being counted still.

You can call this show John Cena with how polarizing it is.

Not a single 3 vote commented lmfao

Literally the first reply is someone saying they voted 3.

Went with a 5, this build to All Out is just wild, and not necessarily in a good way. The world title match was surprising but somewhat disappointing as I was geared up for a 15-20 minute classic.

That main event ruled, though .

I had fun with the show especially Mox destroying Punk. I really can't find any faults except with Thunder Rosa not being able to do this in the ring.

9/10

If this episode had been even 2 weeks ago, I'd be giving it a 9. But it seems they've- once again -left it too little too late to properly build the PPV. I'll go 7/10, great episode but frustrating

That was the single weirdest episode of Dynamite I've ever seen and it has me very intrigued. I get why it has a very split reaction, but I'm on the positive side of that split. 9.
