["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

Easy 9 - tons of fun throughout the show Felt really tight creatively top to bottom.

[UN PLOMBIER NIGHTMARE #blm]

8, they did a great job considering how many people were probably at bray's funeral and everything flowed nicely

[Demented]

Voted 10 for the twink on twink action.

[Doo Doo Dickhead]

I get the feeling there were a lot of people at Bray's funeral, so when taking that into consideration I think it was pretty damn good. 7

[Kalmia]

High 8.

I didn't enjoy the MJF/Joe promo that much. Felt it dragged on for way too long and MJF felt more like his douchebag heel persona than his charming scumbag face one. Cut several minutes out of it and it would have been better, IMO. I enjoyed pretty much everything else though. Christian and Swerve were both highlights and strong promos from Starks and Storm.

That MJF/Joe segment was BIZARRE. I hope it gets its own thread.

[kingoftheindies]

Going 6. Show wasn't bad and I like where they're going with angles. Just felt like a drag to me a bit.

Yeah, it felt like the crowd was unsure of how to take it at times as well.

[Chiral]

Good show, most importantly to me it really feels like AEW is healing after everything ❤️

[The Prince That Was Promised]

4.5/10 for me. Terrible show and awful follow-up to ALL OUT/ALL IN.

The MJF/Joe stuff was good and the tag match slapped but everything else kind of pissed me off honestly.

F*** Roderick Strong.

[J is Justice]

Loved the Kris/Emi match and Toni promo. The Joe/MJF promo was entertaining.

7.

[Celgress]

7 out of 10 good but not great, IMHO.

Roderick Strong is amazing, cannot agree with this public slander

Don't agree with the show assessment either, I thought match quality especially went above and beyond but to each their own.

[Ecks Ecks Ringout Ecks Ecks]

High 7 to low 8 for me? Somewhere in there. Nothing really must-see, but fun show all around.

[Denny Zen is Cooking™]

I’ll go 8. Solid couple hours of wrestling TV. I enjoyed how promo heavy it was…felt like a post-All Out/All In reset to get new storylines and feuds really going.

The MJF/Joe segment WAS really, really weird though. Not necessarily bad, but just strange.

[discoelysium]

Really strong 7. I really appreciated that they actually set up some programs in Page/Swerve and MJF/Joe. Love Roderick Strong.

[King (Super) Dragunov]

I f***ing loved this show. Best Dynamite I've seen in a damn minute.
It felt like this episode was written just for me.

First we had Emi Sakura on Dynamite!
Her and Statlander had the damn crowd applauding out of respect midway through the match.
The crowd is telling you women can work if you let them work, Tony.
BOOK. EMI. SAKURA. MORE.

Then Swerve comes out and cuts a f***ing FIRE promo on Hangman.
"You choose to do this with me...I will walk you like a dog" legit gave me chills.
Super Villain Nihilist Swerve is IT.
Him saying he could be the first black AEW champion popped respect from the crowd. Another great line.
I'm glad he's getting this chance to show what he can do in a higher profile feud.

Pacific Northwest Twink Main Event. Showing this one to the fiancee later.
Great match, with Darby going a little darker on that ending.

Every single match was solid. Even Trent vs. Roddy had me entertained.

I CANNOT WAIT to see what Don Callis's painting is. Such a great gimmick.

I enjoyed the commentary cracking themselves up multiple times a show again.

And a really good video from Ricky Starks. Glad we've pivoting back to him as babyface (or so it appears).

My only knocks are:
the MJF/Joe promo was awkward, and went way too long.
Max didn't need to get ALL the schtick in tonight. Had that been as tight as the rest of the show, it would've been an easy 10.

Oh and Moxley as International Champion is underwhelming to me. It feels a prop on Mox. Like when Roman had the U.S. belt.
Not trying to be a dick, but it just comes off that way.
I hope I'm proven wrong, and TK has a good end game for this reign.

And Sammy leaving like that if they had lost would have made more sense.
The friendly fire in the match wasn't presented in a way that justified Guevara's reaction to me.
But maybe it worked for others.

Side note, is it weird that I find it odd that Orange Cassidy wear Ray-bans?
Like shouldn't he wear cheap Wal-Mart sunglasses?

"Chin up, tits out, and watch for the shoooooe"

SOLID 9.

*nods in agreement*

[Harry The Arrow was Wrong!]

Thought it was a fine show. A 7 maybe.

Loved seeing Cassidy open like that.

Hangman vs Swerve? Yes please.

While I some bits of the Joe/MJF segment, the whole thing dragged on for ages.

Good women's match but goddamn man, 5 minutes of women on the show? You could have cut the Joe/MJF segment in half and added a second match or promo segment or something. Anything. They're never gonna do that at this point tho. Embarrassing as always lol

[HMARK Center]

Strong 7; lots of set up, solid work considering they were likely missing a number of people due to the funeral, but a bit promo-heavy for my tastes.

Still, the promos did their jobs and laid some strong groundwork for things going forward.
