[Fade]

All of The Drugs/10

[Dub H]

7, not particually interesting as I dont care about the embassy, Jay Lethal/Jeff Jarret. Everything else was good.

[El Cokehead del Knife Fight]

God I don't even f***ing know what to rate this show, what a fever dream. The lows were low but the highs were great, a real rollercoaster of a show.

[Mochi Lone Wolf]

6. OC/Shibata tease was awesome and the main event was good.

Nothing else really stood out to me.

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

A hard 5.

Nothing too terrible, nothing too great. An experimental show and I respect an interesting show more than a safe one, but good booking can't all be surprise debuts and comebacks

The ROH stuff isn't bad but I am so sick of it

[Denny Zen is Cooking™]

A 7. It was an enjoyable 2 hours of wrestling and I love Double J, personally.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

7 - not my favorite episode but still a fun watch with a lot happening.

[The Ichi]

5

That was...a weak episode. Almost every match ended in a heel beatdown. Barely any build to Full Gear. No Elite. Jeff f***ing Jarrett.

I would have gone 7 if Cabana won, because this show needed a shot in the arm like that.

[Kalmia]

6/10 It was eventful but I'm not entirely show it was good.

[kingoftheindies]

Acid Trip out of 10.

Honestly not a boring show but giving it a 7.

As I mentioned in the Dynamite thread, the Jarrett debut was ruined by the Cole Karter fake out. Nothing against Cole, but it killed the crowd (which had been hot throughout the match)... also I think Jarrett did fine, but the hype he got from his GCW shows has died quite a bit. But whatevs

The other bad was the Jade/Nyla stuff. I like that they're building something for the TBS title, but that was painful. I honestly don't even dislike Jade like most on the board do but just didn't hit.

Now everything else? Very fun (though the Daddy Ass Birthday Bash did go a bit long for my liking)

[SneakMan]

Going with a 7. A very bizarre two hours of wrestling with both very high peaks and very low valleys. The fact that Jeff Jarrett, Shibata, Colt Cabana and Rick Ross were all the biggest debuts/returns of the night and not just a dream I had after taking too much cough medicine really says it all.

[Ecks Ecks Ringout Ecks Ecks]

Hard to rate this one, honestly. Think I may need to dip down to a 6.

I know AEW has absolutely earned my trust regarding booking of legends, and they've even turned me around on some people I didn't care for previously (see: Taz) but Jeff Jarrett has always been a serious channel changer for me. Also not a Brian Cage fan, so that soured me on the main event too. Also feels like ROH is oversaturating Dynamite/Rampage and really needs to be made its own thing soon.

On the other hand, loved seeing Colt, loved the FTR/Acclaimed tease, loved the All Atlantic match, and that running crossbody from Jungle Boy to Luchasaurus was a thing of beauty.

[Cyno]

I'll go with a 7. Like, this wasn't a great typical episode of Dynamite, but it was a fun watch in it own weird way.

I'd compare it to one of those bizarre but entertaining episodes of Raw that'd happen every so often in the mid-late 00's.

[The Prince That Was Promised]

6/10. Decent show but nothing really happened. The House of Black and Elite vignettes were really good though. Don't really care for Jarret or Lethal in 2022. OC defeating PAC was already an embarrassment, now he's winning matches he shouldn't be winning and carrying gold he shouldn't be carrying. Joe vs Cage was good but TK really needs to find a home for ROH.

[asuka007]

A 6/10:

A mixed bag.



If TK insists on only having one women’s match per show, then it’s gotta be better than this. This was ridiculous.

[Ishmeal Loves Kaseyhausen]

A solid Bret 4/10. I just didn’t like this show.

[Ronny Rayguns Is All Elite]

Strong 7

Rick Ross, the return of Colt Cabana, and my but Hobbs looking strong at the end made me a happy camper

Also pleasantly surprised to see Malaki back in TV.

The rumors of his demise seem to have been exaggerated

[Deleted]

3...Legit throw crap at the wall and see what sticks. Entire card of beatdowns. Ross and Shibata were my highlights. Love Colt but this was fighting petty with petty. Glad Black is back but still have no clue what he is doing or why it required him to become a wicker man.

[ASYLUMHAUSEN]

They front loaded the show and realized they were gonna get smashed in the ratings and demo by the World Series so…it is what it is.
