Awesome episode of Dynamite.

The MMA cage match was great. I love when matches like that start somewhat realistic then later pro wrestling stuff is introduced!

Honestly shocked by how fun it was totally lost my poo poo at the Wardlowrana. I assumed it was going to suck based on the worked MMA matches I've seen in TNA.

One of my favourite things about the show was Kaz busting out a full new moveset for the Elite Hunter gimmick and looking so smooth like he's been doing it for years. Which he probably has.

As someone who hadn't even heard of him before AEW it was great to see his years of experience being showcased. Oh and that springboard leg-drop ruled.

Frankie is extremely good and I love that they're using him in a main event level feud.

Also I thought Wardlow vs Hager was dumb fun and even though I've never watched much MMA in my life I could clearly tell that it looked far more like a gimmick wrestling match than like an actual MMA fight and that this was clearly intentional.

Brock needs to gently caress off promptly and learn how to work. That was the worst debut I’ve seen, outside of the WWE system, off the top of my head. Like Gary the Barn Owl debut in chikara bad.

I didn't think he was this bad, but I do think they need to send him to dark to get in a bunch of reps before they insert him into the story any further.

I just hate it because I hated when WWE brought Dominik Mysterio in out of nowhere and started putting him in segments instead of literally anybody else and this felt even more ham-fisted than Dominick did. If he takes a backseat and starts working dark matches and stuff after this debut then awesome! I just don't need to see this guy on TV every week because he's Arn's son.

I have to go re-watch last night's episode later, I missed the cagematch because of the sixers game and then played synthetik with a friend while dynamite was off to the side so I only caught glimpses.

Bononi moves like a strip club heavy that's been in the coffee pot all night and is trying to throw your drunk rear end out and not shart himself.

I thought the lesser Anderson was perfectly OK and as long as they don't give him some sort of megapush then one nepotism appearance on Dynamite is no big deal.

Before his heel turn,, I couldn't give less of a gently caress about QT...

He's been pretty fun to watch in this little feud, and plays a douchebag really well. The bowling shirt and gold chain are so subtle but so great. He's really been the only one keeping me interested in the story at all

I bet Jungle Boy vs Kenny will be a very good match until somebody in the Elite interferes at 10:58 and Kenny wins at 10:59.
(Yeah see this is why Raw has had on overrun for 25 years. I'd love it if TNT got the stick out of their rear end on that one but can't win em all I guess).

I hear this complaint a lot and I'm not trying to go at you specifically, this is an honest to god question. Why are you (and other people) watching their clock while you watch the match? Do you check how much time is left in a movie constantly and then complain when you know it's about to end?

Dynamite was fun! I had no idea Wardlow could do a hurricanrana, the Darby handicap match was fun, and OC/Bononi was four minutes of total buffoonery, which is exactly what it should have been. The Julia!/Penelope match was way better than I was expecting too, given that Julia's super green and Penelope is really inconsistent.

I also really liked Andrade's promo, and it's really cool that AEW makes time for bilingual promos. It reminds me of Konnan laying out what it would take to develop a true latinx star in the US and bilingual presentation was like first on his list.

So what was everyone's expectations for Hager vs Wardlow? I went in expecting an absolute disaster and it...wasn't that? It was a bit plodding at times but there were more than a few periods where it was very entertaining.

How was the second hour? I fell asleep as the Cody tag started.

I assumed that it was going to be the drizzling shits but after that flurry of strikes from Wardlow near the end of the first round I found myself having fun.

I thought it was about as good as a worked MMA match could be.

Hell it was more believable than the Paul/Mayweather fight
