How long have I not been watching Dynamite? Why's that, if you don't mind my asking? I didn't see the point in continuing to watch a show I wasn't enjoying. The specific issues I had with the show have been fixtures ever since I started watching AEW and in some case have become worse. I'll try AEW again in the summer with some hope or dream that things have improved somehow, someway for me to enjoy. I'm slogging through SmackDown right now because when WWE hits, it absolutely hits, but it's too bad that everything else I see on that show is such a dire miss. After Wrestlemania, I'll stop watching that show too. Most fans seem to think wrestling is in a great place right now, but I think it hasn't been this bad since 2009ish during the Raw Guest Host era. (I stopped watching for about 5 years from 2016 to 2021 so I missed when WWE was apparently really bad pre-COVID-19.)

This as strong a 9 as you can get. Top notch start to finish. Ospreay/Shibta, Bucks/PP and Swerve/Takeshita all worth watching for anyone who likes good wrestling

Good show, 8/10.
I wish Hook would get away from Jericho though, that was the only downer for me.
Also I would like to see Hook get rid of the FTW title and get one of the AEW titles. I know he had a match with Joe a while back but at least the TNT or International Title.

I went 9
I was halfway paying attention, but even though we had some banger matches between Shibatta/Ospreay, Swerve/Takeashita, and that 4 way Women's match Kyle O'Reily somehow ended up being MVP of the night

I went with 7 as I feel as much as I enjoyed Ospreay/ Shibata, it should have been a showcase match for will to hit the ground running, and in doing so, took away a little from the hard hitting main event.
Women’s match was fantastic, best I’ve seen in quite a while (I don’t watch ROH out of sheer spite of Athena being STUCK as the mvp there), and hope this is a positive upswing for the division as a whole.
Lastly, I’d just take undisputed kingdom off tv instead of making them look like goobers until Cole is healthy. They shouldn’t be losing so much if they were the puppet masters being mjf going down.
Room to grow of course, but solid outing.

7 for me. Opener and closer were excellent. The women's match was pretty good. I get why they are doing the tag tournament and the matches are good wrestling matches for the most part, but the outcome is obvious so there is no real drama there so for me it just doesn't mean much.

Very high 9. Only thing that stops it being a 10 is the fact that virtually all the quality was in ring, no issue with that as the in ring focus is my favourite any way, but you'll get some shows where there's nobody to return, debut, make an unexpected save or cut a promo to set up a big match, and this was one of those.
The stuff in ring was incredible though, thought the opener and main event were both absolutely fantastic, thought the opener had the edge until the closing stretch of the main, probably enjoyed both equally all in all. Women's match was great, just all out from the first bell to last, Mercedes was awkward on commentary at first but seemed to find herself as things went along, think any of these guys and girls who've been in WWE such a long time find it hard speaking without being told exactly what to say, even Copeland seemed off it at times early on and he's always been a fantastic promo. Both tag matches were a lot of fun too, the Bucks/Private Party match being particularly excellent, crowd seemed really into that one.

Ospreay/Shibata, Women's 4 way and the Swerve/Takeshita main event were all really fun to watch. Undisputed Kingdom really needs a shot in the arm, feels like its on life support after that Wardlow loss. I'm worried for Hook, I'm glad Kyle is back, always a positive when that dude is on my TV. I'll give the show an 8, Dynasty is shaping up nicely.

Strong opener, great main event. Some good matches in the middle. Kingdom sucked, Mercedes needs to talk way less.
No long rambling promos is much appreciated and somehow is helping me like Kyle O'Reilly.
As much as I like aew being logical and patiently building this was perhaps the peak of functional and predictable booking. That's OK but they need to throw some spanners in soon to keep some intrigue.
8/10

That was lots of fun. Not quite a 10, but nothing bad either. A 9 seems fair.
