[UN PLOMBIER NIGHTMARE #blm]

10

masterpiece episode, funny the whole way through and felt like an hour tops

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

9 - super fun show with good action and lots of focused angles.

[krozor]

AAAADDAAAAAAM!/10

[Chiral]

So fun and made me laugh like 12 times for completely different reasons each time which is impressive for a pro wrestling show.

[Cyno]

One of the most entertaining Dynamites in awhile. 9 ADAAAAMS! out of 10.

[Denny Zen is Cooking™]

I’m incredibly concerned about Roddy. That neck injury looked nasty. I can’t believe you sickos are meming him crying out in pain for his friend.

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

8. Was a good time!

[Doo Doo Dickhead]

Wish the women's match got some more time and the Jericho/Sammy stuff didn't go as long as it did, but a very fun show. 8/10

[Kalmia]

I'm not going to give it a rating because I completely missed the first match (I was playing Baldur's Gate 3 and the time ran away from me)

But I do want to point out how much fun the shows have been recently. There are lots of gimmicks right now that are just really, really entertaining and AEW has been missing that in the past few months. Even the small things like bringing back Hangman's funny chyrons can make a big difference.

[Some Guy]

I think a 6 or so. Very solid opener/main event with everything in between veering between solid and bad. The women's fatal fourway was a sloppy mess but Toni winning was cool enough I suppose (Toni/Saraya as a match has zero appeal to me at all but eh what can ya do) and the Jericho/Sammy stuff remains crushingly boring, which drags it down a lot for me.

Big characters and funny have been unspoken pillars of the company from the start, I think they strayed a bit from them in 2022 which made the year feel staler overall for me (well a lot of things got goofed in 2022 in their control and out of it, but still they kinda lost the vision a bit I feel) but now we got great matches AND goofy weirdos being weird at each other and it's amazing.

(Also I was gonna play some BG3 before this but I knew if I did I wouldn't be able to put it down lmao)

[Facetious]

8. Thoroughly entertained. It seems like the post All In hangover is over with and we're running full throttle to not only Grand Slam but also Dreamwave. Should have been the same energy for All In/Out but obviously a few things hampered that

[bob]

Young Bucks kicking Nana's head clean off/10

[kjakab HAD a father]

I'm excited for Grand Slam next week. And this would've been a great Dynamite.

However, during picture-in-picture Kevin Kelly's voice was heard in the recapping things that happened on Collision. Since Kevin Kelly is like Nia Jax in that they both have abhorrent viewpoints and neither is particularly good at their respective job, it ruined the whole show for me. 1/10

[Celgress]

8 out of 10, IMHO.

[bog]

A fun episode overall, but the women's match was a little off, Jericho/Sammy hasn't really grabbed me yet, and I'm kind of bored with Darby.

Still, PageCage 3 was great. Love watching those dudes wrestle. Swerve looks more and more like a badass every week and Nana is hilarious. We got some good Steiner math, Christian being scummy about parents, and ADAAAAAAM. Joe is also a beast.

I'll say a 7 this time around. Looking forward to Collision and Grand Slam!

I think between injuries, Tony holding out for moments (either through injury or hometown pop), backstage drama, and just trying things that weren't hitting AEW strayed a bit too far from what made them popular. Some stuff had to evolve (presentation) but just too many moments of "eh that was okay" or "that didn't work" that may have hurt the product overall. Now don't get me wrong, there was a lot of very enjoyable stuff, but I think in the very short time Punk has been gone you're starting to see little things that make it seem like a weight is lifted off of many

[King (Super) Dragunov]

The International Title felt so much more important on OC.
Still salty about it as Mox didn't need it.
/dead horse

"Like the pathetic cuck that you are!"
-Don Callis to Kenny Omega

Toni coming out to The Outcasts music minus 1 point. Boo.
Toni winning yay, but the match wasn't great.

All I could think during the Guevara/Jericho segment was "will someone PLEASE give these guys spray tan lessons"
Max. Adam. Sammy. Get someone else to do your hands if you can't do it yourself.

Swerve vs. Hangman as Wrestledream? Excellent.

"Utopian Meritocracy"
-Don Callis to Danny G

So, why not do the TBS Championship match between Statlander and Jade at Arthur Ashe next week?
I really don't think Mox vs. Fenix was as necessary as the woman coming back for the only person to beat her for her title.
This was before I saw the thread about her leaving, but still, seems more important than just being on Rampage.
OC vs. Fenix would have been more fun.
/dead horse

Darby/Sting vs. Christian/Luchasaurus? Okay. I'm down.

I liked that going into the main event Max had issues with both Joe and Roddy making it unpredictable from a storyline POV.
Joe won, cool, kinda would have liked to have seen Roddy win it as he's having the run of his career with this character.

Most of the wrestling I didn't care about aside from the main event. I just wasn't into the matches.
The promos, and story building carried the show, but I wasn't into this one from start to finish.

Gonna go with 6.

I am stoked for Arthur Ashe, and WrestleDream is shaping up to be a good show too.

[daaave]

Solid show. Nothing super amazing but nothing remotely bad. I thought Page Cage was good stuff. Not the strongest Mox match ever. Roddy/Joe was solid and did a good job of making Joe look strong.

Don's unveiling of his latest masterpiece was awesome. Kota begging on his knees was great. I'm assuming that match will be WrestleDream so what does Omega do? Not on Grandslam or potentially WrestleDream
