["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

10 - super strong episode. Ends 2022 on a hell of a run.

[Zone Was Wrong]

10/10 Loved the entire show. Even TayJay winning didn't hurt my enjoyment. Top to bottom fantastic show

[kingoftheindies]

9 only because I felt Ruby/Willow should have won but that's nitpicking. AEW is damn close to hitting on all cylinders again if they aren't already. I think Tony's figured out what he wants to do creatively again but I also think getting away from the east coast is helping as well as the crowds continue to be hot

[Doo Doo Dickhead]

For the second time ever, I'm giving it a 10!

[Johnny Flamingo]

10. One of the best two hours of wrestling I’ve watched in a long time. Very match had a purpose and is building to something.

Trios match was a contender for match of the year.

AEW is firing in all cylinders right now

[asuka007]

9/10:

Danielson vs. Page, Top Flight vs. BCC, and The B07 match were all fantastic.

The women’s tag match was solid. But the finish was bad. And poor Ruby is not allowed to not look like an idiot for more than two weeks in a row it seems. This feud needs to end already.

Hook squaring up to Morrisey was cool.

The Acclaimed with a SAVAGE rap!

.

Good show.

[Kalmia]

9/10

AEW seems to be finding its footing again and there's a good mix of people being pushed and featured.

[coleslaw]

Dynamite has consistently been great for a few weeks now and tonight was no different.

They're doing a great job of building up some new people and setting up storylines

[flowercity]

Been really great dynamites lately I went with an 8

[Cyno]

Gonna go with an 8. Fun show all around. Game 6 and the Acclaimed Rap were big highlights, as was the main event.

[Lizuka #BLM]

Was planning to watch but my Internet was out all day until there was only a half hour left so so much for that. Might DVR it later, I dunno, been meaning to go back and watch the Elite / Death Triangle match from last week after sleeping through it but yet to get around to it.

[Denny Zen is Cooking™]

Acclaimed’s rap is worth 10 alone. The awesome matches were just added bonuses.

[Deleted]

Legit 9 out of 10 for me...Love the new focus on quick vignettes to keep the crowd at home hyped...My only complaint is a hill I will likely die on but Wardlow being outside the ring the entire PiP and them trying to begin a count immediately at the return was not good tv.

[Celgress]

8 out of 10, IMHO.

[Ecks Ecks Ringout Ecks Ecks]

Real, real good. Going 9 I think, best of 7 match overdelivered once again. PPV quality stuff on free TV.

[Vanilla Gorilla]

The opener was good. The top rope power slam was cool. I thought Danielson was charged with the job of making Page look legit and did his best. I am just not a big fan of Page’s character or in ring style. I know I am I the minority here. I just don’t see it yet. Danielson needs to win the big one at some point if he’s going to keep getting title matches. If he is going to be the main event gatekeeper that’s cool, but his reputation only confers so much credibility on his opponents if he can’t get it done in the AEW universe.

The tag match was fun. Claudio is a beast.

I am glad to see Perry with something to do not Christian related.

The trios match was fun insanity.

The Acclaimed’s rap was awesome. Jarrett is carny as hell.

The women’s match was fine. I miss Tay’s creative babyface offense from the pandemic era. Anna Jay is less robotic in the ring even if her character work isn’t there yet. Willow has a beautiful smile that makes me pay attention and her powerhouse style that conflicts with her smily presentation is awesome. It had the wrong result though. I get building heat for the heels, but Ruby needs revenge soon. She held that chair forever.

I want more Hayter/Shida in my life. I am still thinking about that match. At least, I get Hayter on Rampage. Her reign is like a better version of Orton’s first WHT reign, where he was still in Evolution and we were waiting for the HHH shoe to drop. I am fascinated by the whole thing.

The new graphics look good.

The main event was good storytelling built throughout the night. Good to see Wardlow show vulnerability and reinforces Joe as a killer. Darby was a cool TNT champ, so him wanting the belt back makes sense.

The crowd was good. I am happy that they are moving to new markets that aren’t burnt out. It’s helping the product immensely. Also, the storytelling is tighter and more focused. Like others have said the show seems back on track. I am pulled back in. The last two weeks were my first back-to-back end-to-end watches of Dynamite since Hangman lost the title and things got weird.

I went with a solid 8.

As for the Ruby thing, this whole story started months ago. And for like 95% of it she’s been getting pinned and/or beaten up. And tonight she both lost and looked like an idiot in the process.

She wanted revenge on Tay, she beat Tay. Why is this feud even still going?

Wait. You are absolutely right. Why is this feud still going? What does the end look like if Ruby already beat her?

[asuka007]

It feels like all JAS-related feuds must be dragged our way longer than necessary. It’s a rule I guess.

The issue there is that the stories tend to not be interesting enough/have enough heat to justify the length.
