It was deffenalty this week's show mate, it's all back to its normal day now ,

Lol it was the right show we just have a very different review of it

best Dynamite in weeks

before match one Young Bucks came out, super-kicked the ref for no reason and left without saying anything, it was a bit strange but an easy way to move there heel turn alone,

match 1 - Jurassic Express vs. FTR - very enjoyable match, JE proved again they can have a great match with anyone, think it was FTR best match in aew, they are so much more interesting as heels, they have finally started showing some much needed personality, they had a good chemistry so hopefully see them together again, it was fun to watch, FTR won

match 2 - Frankie Kazarian vs. Hangman - this was so good, not the usual aew singles match, was great to see classic wrestling, great holds and skill, they did some big moves but it was not over done, both looked even, was a great match booked well that both came out as winners, Hangman won, this match was so good it should have been on a PPV, one of the best singles matches i have seen this year,

match 3 - MJF vs. Jobber number 469 lol - the usual MJF 10 second squash match, he seams to be beating these jobbers faster each week, the match is not the point with MJF its about promo after and again that was excellent he owned Mox,

match 4 - Private Party vs. Chris Jericho and Jake Hager - this was better than expected i think, but still not great, these was no real chemistry between them and the fact they work matches at very different paces didnt work well ever, Jericho and Hager won, but after the match did a beat down on PP i hope that dont mean we got this match again next week or two,

match 5 - Thunder Rosa vs. Ivelisse for the NWA Women's Championship - this match was great Rosa is becoming a bigger star every week, it was one of the hardest hitting womans matches i have seen in ages, both did great power moves, i liked that it was mostly old school mate based, JR was getting very excited by this,
after the match Diamante attacked Rosa and Shida came out the crowed to make the save setting up a tag match next week,

next Lance Archer and Jon Moxley picked there tag partners for next weeks show, Archer picked team Taz, Cage and Starks the deal being that Cage gets the first shot at the belt if Archer wins it,
Mox picked newbie Will Hobbs for the biggest match of his life and Darby Allin , should be a good match up next week

main event - Best Friends vs. Proud and Powerful - wow one of the best Parking Lot Brawl / street fights i have ever seen, it had everything, they way they used the cars to destroy each other was amazing windows and roofs where smashed, some of it was just madness Ortiz nearly killing Taylor with a sledgehammer was shocking, in the end Orange Cassidy emerged from the boot of a car and hit a huge punch to Santana with a chain wrapped around his fist this let Taylor hit Santana with a piledriver on a car and Trent put Ortiz through a piece of plywood to get the pin and the win, after the match Sue arrived with a repaired van to give the winners a ride home. She made sure to flip off Proud and Powerful before driving away what a class ending, best friends looked like badasses , i haven't seen such a fun match in ages, again this could have easily been on a PPV

just finished watching this weeks Dynamite,

there was a big change to this week matches as Lance Archer Has COVID-19 so was at home with his place in the main event being took by Eddie Kingston,

match 1 - Miro and Kip Sabian vs. Joey Janela and Sonny Kiss - this was a really good fun match to start, there where a lot of big moves and even though there where quite a few mistakes Miro kept things going along though with his big power moves, Joey and Kiss looked good again, they should start winning on tv soon, Miro made Kip look like a star again as hes been lots for the last few months, it will be interesting to see how long Miro in a tag man for before starting his singles run, Miro & Kip won

match 2 - Hangman Adam Page vs. Evil Uno - a bit of a nothing match really, it was all far to slow, they didn't work well together, the best part of the match was Omega on commentary, his heel turn is coming on nicely, Page won

match 3 - TNT Championship match, Brodie Lee vs. Orange Cassidy - this was a good match Lee looked dominant , Orange made a great under dog comeback before Lee powered through for the win, good old school wrestling booking, both men looked good at the end, after the match Cody came out with a new look to start his feud with Lee again,

next Isiah Kassidy Demands a Shot at Chris Jericho - this was pretty shit , Matt Hardy was clearly off his head forgetting hos lines, and Isiah sounded so week, you could tell Jericho didn't give a shot about this match as well, what a waist of a section,

next FTR explain how all there title matches will be done calling it the the 20 Minute Brush with Greatness Rule, again not great FTR are not good at talking on the mic, they should let Blanchard do more then he dose, they decided there first match will be against SCU, after this best friends came out but nothing much happened, again not well done section,

match 4 - Hikaru Shida and Thunder Rosa vs. Ivelisse and Diamante - thank good back to a match this should have had more time, there was really physicality in this match and it was good with all 4 working together, but yet again AEW fucked up a womans match by having most of it happen when on a commercial break as they had run out of time with all the messing around before it in the talking sections, Shida and Rosa have great chemistry and look forward to there rematch, Sjida and Rosa won,

main event - AEW World Championship: Jon Moxley vs. Eddie Kingston - best match of the night, Moxley and Kingston had fun beating each other up in a very physical match, Kingston is starting to look like a real big star, he looks like hes been in AEW a lot longer than he has, he pushed Mox hard and this got the best out of Mox we have seen for some time, he needs those who can push him to the limit hopefully Archer can do this wen back, Mox won

so not as good a night as the last few, a lot of filler, the 3 title matches were good but both the TNT and womans should have been longer, the under card was a lot of not much going on and they really should not of had 2 talking section following each other as it stopped the flow of the show in the middle,

hoping for better this week, its the last normal Dynamite before 2 special editions of Dynamite Chris Jericho's 30th Anniversary Celebration on 7/10 and Dynamite 1st year Anniversary Show on 14/10

this weeks Dynamite was much better i thought, there seamed to be a lot more direction to the show and a lot more action,

match 1 - Darby Allin vs. Ricky Starks - this was a really good match to start the show, as expect they produced an excellent match, i was surprised it was a proper old school match all about the holds with not that much high flying, both wanting to show they know now to wrestle , i really liked this, Allin won

next Cody called out Mr. Brodie Lee, this was really good , they agreed to the most rarely used match in wrestling the Dog Collar Match before having a mad wild fight , it was total chaos and really set up next weeks match, i got the feeling Cody is going to become a 2 time champ,

match 2 - AEW Tag Team Championship Match SCU vs. FTR - probably the two best wrestling teams in AEW showed this off to great affect, this was a excellent match so many good moves from both teams, SCU looked like they where going to win more than once before Tully Blanchard helped FTR cheat to win, this means SCU must still be in the hunt for the belts,

match 3 - Isiah Kassidy vs. Chris Jericho - as expected i thought this the weekest match on the card, it was fun but Jericho was always going to win, after the match Jericho had a fight with Luther at ring side to set up a match next week, we found out that Luther was the first person that Jericho ever had a feud with when he started out 30 years ago,

match 4 - Orange Cassidy vs. 10 - a nothing match, just a reason to give Orange another win on TV , Orange did what he needed to do to look good, but really think it was not needed,

match 5 - Britt Baker vs. Red Velvet - Baker looked a total star as she destroyed the jobber, this was how to put her back in the womans title picture , really good booking , Baker looked the perfect heel add Rebel helping her out and she looks unstoppable , this can only be good for the womans division

main event - Jon Moxley vs. The Butcher - this was a good match, Butcher first crack at the world title went well he didn't look out of place, was a hard hitting match with both working well together, Mox won and looks to have set up another match this the mad king Kingston maybe on the november PPV

i liked that a lot more this week, 4 out of the 6 matches where very good,

busy week only just seen last weeks show

it was the special 30 years of Chris Jericho show

match 1 was the first ever AEW FTW Championship Match - Will Hobbs vs. Brian Cage,
this was a good match Hobbs looked good on his first match in the big time, i was Cage best match in AEW, they where to big guys who where able to throw some big moves at each other, they where booked as equal which made both look good and made Cage win impressive, its well over 20 years since this belt was last defended,

match 2 was an AEW Tag Team Championship Match - The Hybrid2 vs. FTR,
a good solid match, Hybread 2 showed they are better than being on dark all the time and FTR showed they really can have a good match with anyone, it was very solid with out being great, after the match theBest Friends interrupting and announcing next week's title match, should be good,

match 3 was Dog Collar Match for the TNT Championship - Cody vs. Mr. Brodie Lee
it was a very good match both men showed how good they are at wrestling, it was really violent and very bloody, Lee looked like a bad ass in defeat and Cody like the resilient babyface in his win, perfect old school booking, the only thing that stopped it being great was it being so clear Cody was going to win for the last few weeks

match 4 was Big Swole vs. Serena Deeb -
a very good match Deeb showed why she regarded as one of the best female wrestlers in the world, no suprise Swole had her best match in AEW, it was fun and hard hitting, sadly AEW put a break in the middle of it that killed the momentum AEW always find a way to make the womans match not as good as they should be, Swolw won to become the number 2 contender for the womans belt,

main event was Chris Jericho and Jake Hager vs. Dr. Luther and Serpentico -
this match was all about showing why Chris is such class and why he is regarded as one of the best and nicest men in the business, AEW told him he could wrestle anyone he wanted and he chose his friend Luther who he was a long time tag partner in Japan and chose to put him over to an USA viewes who would not now how much of a legend Luther is in other parts of the world , Chris was selling everything Luther hit him with making him look a total star, there are very few other wrestlers in Jericho position with the willingness to put others over to an extent like he did here, was really great to see, after the match MJF came out to be a total dick as usual and continued to set up his match with Jericho in the future,

it was a good show, better than expected as didn't make it to much about Chris, all the matches had good points and were fun to watch,

just finished watching the 1st anniversary show i will be honest i didn't find it as good as hoped as it was all a bit predictable,

match 1 - FTR vs. Best Friends for the AEW Tag Team Championship-
this was a good match with some nice moves but never expected FTR to lose that took away for it,
but it was the nasty dirty finish i really didn't like, Wheeler used the title belt to hit Taylor behind the ref's back which allowing Harwood to cover him for the win, after best friends had a clear 3 count that the ref didn't see,
some are calling it classic heel play from FTR, to me it just looked poor and lazy, not a good start to the night

match 2 - Kip Sabian and Miro vs. Sean Maluta and Lee Johnson-
a nothing match just there to help along Miro heel turn, to be fair he totally destroyed the 2 jobbers,
it looks like Kip and Miro are going to have matches with best Friends next,

next MJF asked to join the Inner Circle, he and Jericho are having dinner next week to talk about it,

match 3 - Cody vs. Orange Cassidy for the TNT Championship-
again i didn't like the ending , for me it messed up a very good match, it was Orange best match in AEW and he showed what a good wrestler he was, Cody almost played the heel which i have not seen him do since on Impact and made a nice change, just don't get why end it as a time-limit draw, i hope they will sort this out soon,

match 4 - Hikaru Shida vs. Big Swole for the AEW Women's Championship-
i had such high hopes for this match but both women made so many mistakes it did spoil things a bit, the longer it went the more they where fucking up, missing moves, falling over, falling off the rops, it got to its worse when the ref was trying to count a pin when Swole's shoulders were clearly off the mat this was a big mistake, the ref should have not followed the plot and called what he could see, JR on the mic sounded mad as he had a go at the ref for doing this, both womans worst match for AEW, i guse some people just don't work well together,

main event - Jon Moxley vs. Lance Archer for the AEW World Championship with No Disqualification rules-
the best match of the night, AEW had fucked up there timings so this only had 15mins but this meant that it was really full of big moves and non stop action as they managed to fit about 30mins of match into the 15 they had to use, Mox won as expect then straight after the match started his next feud now with Kingston, i think this will be great but seams a bit soon,

so for me not a great show for one so big, a lot of mistakes and doggy endings, only the last match was very good and they ran out of time to do it proper,

just finished watching this weeks show and it was much better, the OMG moment was seeing the Cleaner outside of japan for the first time, that was one of the coolest things i have seen in AEW, and Jericho the musical i totally marked out for this,
the main point of the night was the start of a AEW World Championship Eliminator Tournament to find the new number 1 contender for who ever wins november PPV world title match,

match 1 - AEW World Championship Eliminator Tournament Match - Jungle Boy vs. Wardlow-
an ok match but not great as was to one sided it was all about putting Wardlow over as a big threat to the belt but it didn't live up to the hype coming from the commentary team, Wardlow progresses

match 2 - AEW World Championship Eliminator Match - Sonny Kiss vs. Kenny Omega (The Cleaner) -
the match didn't matter, what mattered here was the introduction of the Cleaner this was simply one of the most important moments in AEW history and they knew it and gave hime the best entrants and wrestler has ever had on AEW,
it was as good as anything he got when world champion in japan,
he had the most perfectly over-the-top entrance including two young women with brooms, Justin Roberts read out all his accomplishments in the most heel way possible,
the hatch was over in 10 seconds a knee to the face and the one winged angle and Kenny was on his way to the world title next year,
after the match he went full-blown heel, completely over-the-top celebratory of his own excellence, mocked Kiss after the match, really cheesing it up for the camera showing him fake respect, i loved this,

match 3 - AEW World Championship Eliminator Match - Penta El Zero M vs. Rey Fenix-
what an excellent match, these 2 have had great matches all over the world and they showed just why they are so regarded here, so many excellent moves, they where non stop action, even though Rey hit his head and knocked himself out for a few seconds, they got it back together, Everything about this worked and was a great match, Fenix progressed

match 4 - AEW World Championship Eliminator - Hangman Page vs. Colt Cabana -
This was a good match but longer than it needed to be, they worked well together and there was some very good moves, it was a 50/50 match that both looked like they could win, Page got the job done in the end and started his journey to the next PPV to face Kenny to be number 1 contender,

next was one of the best things i have seen in wrestling in ages, i love a musical and this was pure Hollywood, They started by going back and forth over the rareness of their porterhouse steaks as they had there meal, then turned their attention to the prospects of MJF as a member of The Inner Circle andthen a musical interlude featuring a performance of "Me and My Shadow" ensued, complete with Rockettes rip-offs. both had good singing voices, it was crazy mad fun, i know some will hate it but i liked the madness,

match 5 - Kilynn King vs. Dr. Britt Baker -
this was a good match that was all about making Britt look the star she is, King pushed her so it made Britts victory look even better, it cant be long until shes got the belt,

main event - 4-Way Tag Team No. 1 Contender Match -
this was a good solid match from 4 very good teams but The Bucks where always going to defeat Private Party, Butcher and Blade, and The Dark Order,
it feels like AEW need to have the dream match between the Bucks and FTR as its starting to get in the way of everything else,
one note from the match is The Bunny just magically rejoining Butcher and Blade because Eddie Kingston made it happen, seams poor writing to me,

finished watching this weeks show and thought it was hit and miss,

match 1 - World Title Eliminator Semifinal Match - Hangman Page vs. Wardlow, and
we all know who is going to win the semi before they start but that dont stop them being good matches, this was a good hard hitting match, both men looked good, and it build both men up ,

match 2 - Matt Sydal vs. Eddie Kingston -
first off great to see the ex WWE Evan Bourne on AEW this was a good debut and reminded fans how good he is as a lot of fans will not have seen him on Impact,
the match was a little one sided for my liking with Eddie being pushed hard before his PPV match, i think Matt will have better matches in AEW then this,

next a interview where the The Bucks explained they had not turned heel but had just found what they needed to win, they also said that they would never challenge for the gold if they fail to win it onthe PPV,

next The Inner Circle Town Hall Meeting, this was the silly fun you would expect be it was way to long, they must have been a easier was to set up there PPV match, the only highlight was seeing Bischoff again,

finally match 3 - Lumberjack Match for TNT Championship: Cody vs. Orange Cassidy-
this was not a good match, both played babyface and it didn't work, and seeing Orange screwed out of the belt again is getting boring now, ever give him a belt or move him back to mid card,

match 4 - Serena Deeb vs. Leyla Hirsch for the NWA belt-
this was an OK match, we know Deen the new champ is class and Leyla was something different but yet again AEW had most the match happen in a break, they really dont do anything to help the women, plus it means the womans PPV hatch has had no promo

match 5 - VSK vs. Shawn Spears-
just an easy jobber match for Spears to win to keep momentum going after the match Sky got involved someone else AEW dont know how to use, i guess they will be fighting eash other on dark

main event - World Title Eliminator Semifinal Match: Penta El Zero M vs. Kenny Omega-
Penta replaced his brother who was injured last weeks match, this was the best match on the card by a county mile,
Kenny came out with his AAA Mega Championship belt on, he had beaten Penta for it in mexico, the match was excellent, both where booked as level, and it really worked both looked stars at the end of the match, this match saved the show it was that good, i want to see it again,
