1/10 because Jeff Jarrett didn't win the strap! Worst company ever, etc.

It had Riho coming out with a metal pipe. So I have to give it a ten.

My name is Denny Zendowski and I loved QTV. 9. Good to see I'm not the only one. I have to go back and watch to see where RJ was in this

8/10, I liked the 4 Pillars segment and I think it'll lead to a 4-way at the next PPV which should be great.
I really enjoyed O.C vs. Jeff Jarrett, was hoping for Double J to get the win but it was entertaining.
I liked the Dark Order/BCC match as it helped cement the heel turn of BCC.
I didn't see all of the main event but liked the ending.
EDIT: I didn't care for QTV or the Juice Robinson promo.

Torn between 8 and a 9 but went with 9 considering the ending.
Opening segment was great, sets up what will be an amazing match whenever they do it, not sure it's got the legs to carry to the PPV but maybe they could do it in Long Island? It's more of a dream match than a dream feud for me so probably doesn't need the enormous build.
Seeing Taya was a cool moment after being a bit let down with the Nicole Matthews stuff, don't think she'll win the title but Jade having more competitive matches before she loses it always felt preferable to me than just losing it randomly tonight.
Orange/Jarrett was as fun as you'd expect, I like Double J anyway but he's been a real breath of fresh air.
BCC vs Dark Order was great, really enjoyed seeing Stu back and BCC works much better as a heel group.
QTV was harmless, think anyone genuinely outraged about it is overreacting, or had convinced themselves beforehand it would be the worst thing ever and would have always reacted the same way.
Liked the Acclaimed and Daddy Magic segments, think that'll be a very entertaining feud.
Couple of cringe bits in the women's segment but was glad Toni finally brought up the crowd cheering those who were cheating her and how she wasn't valued as Champion. Ended well too, the idea of lots of women being involved has always been the selling point of the storyline and the reason it was a bit pointless critiquing it when it was just Saraya and Toni starting out. Very interested to see where they go with it and who else joins in.
Very subdued stuff from Ricky but there's enough intrigue in the Bullet Club stuff to sell that feud to me.
Main Event was awesome, crowd was electric and the end was almost perfect, loved that moment The Elite got in the ring, great stuff all round. Kind of interested to see where they go in terms of an actual match cos you've got all of the Elite if they reunited with Hanger, the whole Dark Order and then just three guys in the BCC so it's a little lopsided. Can't wait to see what they do though.
All round great show, loads of good, very little bad, a debut, 2 great matches, another fun match and a segment that sets up something great for the future.
edit: On reflection a much easier 9 than I gave it credit for. Just watching some of it again and the ending shifting from one storyline to another seamlessly and making the crowd forget the disappointment of HOB winning so quickly was great booking and the long term storytelling of Kenny and the Bucks all standing behind Hangman just like they did after their tag match was so good.

Could they be building to a Blood and Guts with BCC/FTR vs. the Elite plus Ibushi?

Nitro is usually the closest comparison to dynamite but that felt more like Raw once did for both better and worse. Right down to it ending at the wrong moment.
Suppose an 8 on balance. Brilliant main event.

9. Very close to a 10 very much enjoyed this show. QTV prevents the 10 though. Also thought that Acclaimed promo was corny as hell.

I went with an 8. Nicole Matthews deserving so much better and QTV sucking made me dock it from a 9. Highlights were how aggressively Jewish MJF's opening segment was followed by the confrontation of the Pillars. I also really liked the main event and teasing Elite reuniting with Hangman vs BCC. Loved seeing Taya make her AEW debut, too.

First full Dynamite in a minute. Gonna go with 7.5...I'll round up to 8...Fun show, flew by.
The Jade stuff sucked. Glad Nicole got on TV, but man....cool to see Taya...if she doesn't dethrone Jade that title is on life support til Statlander comes back. And the QTV stuff....again....explain to me how this isn't a demotion for Hobbs? How did this get green lit? QT Marshall is an albatross for everything he touches, I swear. And cutting away at the end right as Hangman was turning around, ughhh.
But everything else was good.
I enjoyed the 4 pillars promo, the first match was great (welcome back Stu!), OC vs Jarrett was solid (it was entering Psycho Clown territory with all the shenanigans and overcoming the oddz there for a minute), and the main event was stellar with that killer ending.
And while it makes sense given who won, and who was in the match, TK is quickly becoming the master of the deflated crowd reaction with that pinfall in the trios match, lol.
Also, side note, can we bin f***ing "Wild Thing" please?

Yeah I hope Wild Thing gets scrapped completely. It's a bad face song, it's an even worse heel song.
