Honestly I hope they get away from the Dynamite/Rampage filmed on 1 night stuff; this felt like a 3 hour show that stopped at hour 2. Which I get, gotta serve the live audience, but I don't think this format works very well.

this glorious monument

This seems to be the 'rest our stars after our long stretch of special Dynamites and before the PPV' phase.
Hopefully this approach isn't losing them new eyeballs.

lovely ep on the dynamite scale for sure. fun enough 2 hours but come on you have a big audience and showed them an ep of dark.

As a non Dark watcher this is how I felt, I got to see a lot of my faves but it didn’t feel can’t miss like 90% of AEW does

I've been watching Dynamite a lot more regularly and it still feels like forever since I saw Miro wrestle a match. I did miss the Fuego one but my opinion still stands that Miro is not wrestling enough.

If folks are used to WWE programming I suspect they'll have the patience for a couple weeks. This show was far from bad and had some great moments, it was just REALLY disjointed.

Yeah, you can't shoot your wad every week. There were a lot of promos and showcase matches here to build the PPV, which is probably good business two weeks out from the show.

no aew booking decision baffles me more than how protected the gunn club is. they've been around for like two years and literally never lose and also never do anything important. what about the characters of "old man billy gunn and his rookie kids" would be destroyed by losing one time i do not get it

the gunn club members should be individually dedicated to the arts of the rear end - one to hug them, one to love them, one to kiss them and one to suck them

It was to Reynolds, and it was something like "step back into Silver's shadow where you belong."

I know it makes more sense for a big name's first match to be a big match, but in theory it would have made much more sense to do Black/Brock before Black/Cody.

Uno told Reynolds to go back to standing in Silver's shadow.

I dunno man, I'm a little annoyed that AEW had this massive rating on Friday and they advertise Punk for Wednesday and they have this chance to build all this momentum for the PPV and that's the show they delivered. Not good!
