[chronocross]

9/10, really enjoyed tonight's show, just great from start to finish.

I didn't see the tag match with Toni but the rest was excellent.

[Chiral]

Me going feral for that main event / 10

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

10 - awesome show top to bottom.

[J is Justice]

8.

Mercedes. Hook vs Jericho was fun. Main event was great.

[kingoftheindies]

I gave it a 9. Let me also say this, while the titles may change in terms of which one gets the most focus at different times, AEW does a great job of making title changes feel like big deals. Okada with the Continental Crown and Copeland with the TNT titles both just felt like they gave those belts more prestige

[asuka007]

8.5/10:

Feels like we’re starting to get a story for Mercedes.

Okada is a champion.

Mariah is awesome and Rosa winning was cool.

Jericho vs. Hook was solid.

The ME was badass and the finish was almost perfect.

[bog]

9

Have a few nitpicks but overall just a really good PPV quality show

Really really enjoyed Hook vs Jericho. Whoever is producing Hook's matches has done it flawlessly so far

[Johnny Flamingo]

Always makes me chuckle to see the people who vote a 1 on these. No way anyone in good faith can say it was a bad show.

9/10. Really good show. Copeland-Christian was everything it needed to be

[Rave]

9. AEW's been putting out some seriously good shows as of late.

And oh boy, the troll votes are back.

[daaave]

Top show. I'm loving that TK has finally realised that he can't just hold off on big matches anymore. He's got the roster. Book them bangers.

Swerve vs Takeshita & Ospreay vs Shibata next week... nice

[Mid-Carder]

I don't assume low votes are troll votes but if you find this show to be a 1, then AEW just isn't for you, which is fine

That’s why I don’t vote in the WWE ratings. I know the product isn’t for me. It’s the same as me being a horror movie fan giving a rating on a cheesy romance film. Serves zero purpose.

The fact the there are six “1” votes makes it pretty clear they are either trolling or anti-AEW people.

[KME]

High 9 I think, though I'm probably being harsh by my own standards as I gave a 10 to the Okada debut show largely on the basis of that debut and Ospreay/Fletcher and I think this was an all round better show. Think the match quality between the opener and main was a touch lower than normal but I enjoyed absolutely everything (Edit - just started watching Rampage with the quality of the opener you can see why they eased up a bit on crazy ring work during Dynamite so as not to wear the crowd out).

Think they did a fantastic job of making everything and everyone feel like a big deal and furthering stuff across the board. You had a new signing in Mercedes in the opening segment setting up her first feud, a new signing in the first match in Okada winning a title, Hook feeling like the biggest deal he's felt since the Joe match, one of the most over guys on the roster, and another new signing, in Ospreay cutting another excellent promo and setting up an amazing match with Shibata for next week, you had the women's world champion being pinned, the men's world champion and would be champion interacting and Swerve/Takeshita set up for next week and then a war between two legends and another title change in the main event. That's all killer no filler really.

Since Revolution we've had the Dynamite where Okada debuted and we got a MOTYC main event, last week with the Mercedes debut in a big branded show, 2 title changes and a load more this week and next weeks is absolutely stacked too. Dynamite's been on fire lately, as has the company in general, they seem laser focused right now. I liked some of the different camera work they seemed to use as well, there seemed to be quite a few changes to production and I mostly liked them all.

[4real]

Would have been a 10 if not for Fite cutting the last 10 seconds off the replay. Time management Mr Khan please.

When there's no empty hard cam side to disingenuously make fun of, then voting 1 on random forums is the only way to let your tennis flag fly. 

I'm going a very, very high 8 on this show. Extremely entertaining from start to finish (even Jericho's match was really good and, love him or hate him, he is really good at making younger talents look strong against him). My only slight knock is that the women's tag match didn't quite gel for me and, as much as I am enjoying Mercedes so far, her promo at the beginning dragged and felt a little WWE-y for my personal tastes. The main event was amazing and capped off a really strong feud between two of the all-time greats. 

[Lupin the Third]

The only thing that bummed me out was Okada beating Kingston. But, if someone had to take the belt from Kingston, I'm okay with Okada.

Otherwise, another fun show. They seem to be on a roll lately.

[Soultastic]

9

A point deducted because of the tag and the Swerve matches not doing much for me, but being fine still. Everything else, stellar.

[grunt]

Fun show, with the caveat that I skipped the Jericho/Hook match (I just don't care about Jericho anymore), and that I was left strangely underwhelmed by Kingston/Okada (but that's been more and more the case for me with Eddie's matches since he won the belts). Also, the Swerve match could have done with a tad more Butcher offense, but that's just me.

Same with the Kingston/Okada match. It felt slow, plodding and then just ended before the action ever really picked up. Was underwhelming. Mone’s promo was again messy as that’s not really what she’s known for.

Loved Ospreay, the main event, and thought Hook/Jericho was fun. Overall, 7/10
