AEW have announced they are getting a 2nd TV show, its going to be called Rampage and will be 60mins long, it will be starting on 13th August,
i think this is exciting news they have needed more tv and am glad they have not made Dynamite into 3 hours,
its going to be on at 10pm in USA and aimed at adults so a sort at Attitude era show more edgier stories and violent matches,

Note no full dynamite on itv 4 this week will just need to deal with YouTube and then enjoy double or nothing especially the spring stampede between the inner circle and the pinnacle

seams there is no live show this week in USA i guess they dont want anything going wrong before there biggest night of the year,
Dynamite is going out Friday in USA and is a special show about Hikaru Shida 1 year as champion, i guess ITV will show this as its a 1 hour show on Saturday,

Me bad I had a further look whilst having my lunch and noticed this week's dynamite will be on Wednesday night at 11pm on itv 4 a tad frustrating that far on into next week especially with double or nothing on before itv could have switched it onto itv 3 or even made the full show be on itv 1

my thoughts on the PPV

match 1 - Hangman Page vs. Brian Cage
this was a good hard hitting match, both worked well together. Page winning sets him back on the patch to winning the world title,
the ending with Ricky Starks coming out and trying to convince Cage to use the FTW title as a weapon and Cage refused, before the distraction cost him the win has turned Cage babyface and i think set him on the road to stardom as AEW has so few faces, 8 out of 10

match 2 - AEW Tag Team Championship Match: Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston vs. Young Bucks
this was a great hard hitting match with so many great moves from both teams, Max and Eddie where great faces taking all the bucks had and giving a hell of a lot back before the bucks double teaming finally got the best of them, this was just what the bucks needed as it now shows them as tough heel champs, it took 4 BTE Trigger's to knock Mox out in the end for the win so everyone left looking stars, 9 out of 10

match 3 - Casino Battle Royale
i am not a fan of these type of matches as they are always a mess until they get towards the end,
notable things where
Lio Rush was the surprise man and he did a great job of looking good in his first AEW match, if anyone dont know he was in NXT for a couple of years winning NXT Cruiserweight Championship, since leaving hes been a star in MLW which has let him do well in NJPW thanks to them working together, hes been MLW World Middleweight Champion,
the last 2 where Cage and Jungle Boy they where brilliant together with Cage doing everything he could do to make Jungle Boy into the biggest star he could be, including a class show of respect after the match 7 out of 10

match 4 - Cody Rhodes vs. Anthony Ogogo
this was a great surprise and much better than i thought it would be, Ogogo look a star bay the end of it he will be world champ at some point for sure, he shocked me with how good a wrestler he is, he sold well and his offence was really good and looked real, Cody made him look even better and his win didn't cost Ogogo at all very good 8 out of 10

match 5 - TNT Championship Match: Miro vs. Lance Archer
this was a good old school fight between to big men who beat the hell out of each other, Miro winning against the bigger man made him look more of a star, 7 out of 10

match 6 - AEW Women's Championship Match: Hikaru Shida vs. Dr. Britt Baker DMD
this was the match of the night, both had there best match in AEW, the booking was perfect, the high spots where flawless, the way they worked the crowed with near falls was a joy to see the crowed was red hot, this match was beautiful old school wrestling i loved it , Baker left the biggest star in womens wrestling at the moment, Shida not far behind, 10 out of 10 could be match of the year,

match 7 - Sting and Darby Allin vs. Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky
what can i say sting has still got it, this was a great match, sting did some big moves and took some big bumps, Allin showed why hes the best young babyface in the world at the moment carring the middle of the match by him self selling so well, the why the faces kept just not managing to make the tag worked the fans into a frenzy so when Sting finally got the hot tag the fans went crazy as Sting showed why hes one of the best faces of all time, seeing him hit the Scorpion Death Drop for the win was pure joy 9 out of 10

match 8 - AEW World Championship Match: Orange Cassidy vs. Pac vs. Kenny Omega
this was great match all 3 where excellent, this was the big test to see if Orange could be excepted as a main event face by the crowed and he passed it with flying colours, his offence was great and he had the crowed believing he could win,
Kenny proved hes the perfect heel by cheating to win and then celebrating like he was the best even though he got so close to losing the belt, 9.5 out of 10

main event - Stadium Stampede: Inner Circle vs. The Pinnacle
this was very good they didn't try to copy last years match of the year instead they did a more straight-forward grudge match it was physical and violent but still had some good jokes, it was great to see A cameo by Konan who reformed LAX with Santana and Ortiz for a bit, the match was designed to make Sammy look like a huge star and it did that he got the win in the ring, the whole match was booked very well a good section between MJF and Jericho as well,
this was a proper feud ender and i hope both teams go on to do other things now, 9 out of 10

thats one of the best PPV cards i seen in ages didn't have a bad moment all night, AEW got the big night of the year all right

Absolutely winsaw I don't think there was any bad match was pleasantly surprised at how some of the matches went given I had doubts they would work
Enjoyed the stadium stampede again especially doing different sections in different parts of the stadium for each member of the team dare I wonder a 3rd battle between these two teams if so no idea what else they could throw in
I wouldn't be surprised if britt Baker and shida have a rematch with some kind of stipulation likewise mox and Kingston vs the young bucks

It's going to be on ITV on a Tuesday night as in America it's been moved to Friday night to make way for the basketball ,
ITV don't want to show it live on Friday sadly as they like to edit the commentary, I guess once the play off basketball is over things will go back to how was before
