Please get Adam Cole and Red Dragon away from comedy acts like Best Friends and Young Bucks.
CM Punk match was the dumbest crap I've seen in a long time.
That was a struggle, one of their worst shows in a while. And the card from Rampage looks pretty rubbish as well.

Hangman/Danielson again showed everyone in the back how it's done. Their first match was probably AEW's best match, and this was on par. Just amazing. What I love about wrestling.
Tag title match was the opposite. A mess, hard to follow and ended with a gruesome injury. Hope Fenix gets well soon, but man that spot was so unnecessary. Jungle Boy is a great talent, great wrestler, but sometimes he has to just tone it down with the overly choreographed nonsense like that match was.
Jade winning was the right call but that match showed she still has a ways to go, which is fine. She should've just won with a regular Jaded, the top rope version was very sloppy.
Overall, good show.

A lot of good stuff in AEW land this week, but man both main events were completely embarrassing.

Small detail, but it's a ladder match so don't have tables already set up at ringside. If you're going to use them at least put them under the ring.
Also if the Elite multi-man matches could follow any sort of normal tag rules, that would be great.

Enjoyed the Punk match. The rest of Rampage did nothing for me. Those 6 and 8 mans were absolute messes. I enjoy rules in wrestling and those 2 did not follow any sort of rules.

The petty man in me is annoyed that this was Danielson's first 5 star match. It was the best match Kenny Omega has ever had, but Bryan Danielson has had many better.

Being a wrestling fan is already niche enough as it is. Let's not fight with each other about what wrestling company we prefer. Enjoy WWE, AEW, Impact, NJPW and everything else you can.

I was there. It was a FUN time. Was on camera all night ... sorry, lol. Luckily my mug was often behind some dude's sign. The crowd was lit, but I thought it would be louder. Maybe Ashe doesn't have the best acoustics. I mean, it's made for tennis. But there were def times when I couldn't hear the person next to me. We got to see a few matches for Dark/Elevation before Dynamite. Nothing of note really. TK came out and spoke to the crowd a lot. He was so full of energy. Overall it was one amazing night. Dynamite Notes: - Crowd lost all of its energy during Omega/Danielson, lol. By Rampage we were dead. - Crowd booed Cody to DEATH and cheered Black. Not sure how that came out on TV. - Arn pushed Cody, starting that angle. Not sure that made it to TV. - Soho/Baker was split amongst the crowd. Nothing happened after it went off the air. - Darby was limping at the end of his match. Hopefully he's ok. - No shocking debuts, etc. Rampage? Well ... I won't spoil too much, but other than Omega/Danielson it was the BETTER show! There WAS a debut! Sort of. - Punk/Hobbs ... all I'll say is PUNK WORE TRUNKS! - MoTY had some great new tights and a LOT of crazy stuff happened after the match. - Jungle Boy is SO OVER and had one of his best performances. - TK rapped back. - PnP ... The Warriors ... that's all I'll say. - Oh, and that match was NUTS. NUTS. - Main event was what you think it'll be. Not sure if the "debut" made the air or it was just for us. It was a lot of fun. The sound is always messed up in stadiums. My wife said the mic work on the concourse sounded better than in the actual arena. One of the funniest low key moments of the night was the six man, the bucks come out to a huge pop. Adam Cole comes out to a gigantic pop…and then Christian comes out to a golf clap….and the Jurassic Express come out to a gigantic pop. That's sad considering he's probably the best wrestler in that match.

Just finished watching the show there. Some thoughts:
Omega vs Danielson was very good. It's Bryan Danielson though so that goes without saying. 30 minute draw was obvious as the match went on, but that's ok. Build to a PPV title match where Danielson goes over. Good stuff.
Punk promo was a Punk promo. Excellent as always.
MJF vs Pillman was a weird one. In hindsight, it was all it was ever going to be. But with the promos leading up to it, I came away wanting more than just a 10 minute win for MJF. Seems like a one and done, but I wanted more for Pillman.
Cody has to turn heel. His entrance is so self indulgent. Brandi getting involved was so self indulgent. I feared throughout that Cody would win, but I think that's what they were going for. Decent match, right winner.
FTR vs Darby/Sting was ok. Sting looked great for his age, but man I can't help but hate the fact that FTR lost to an old man. They are the best tag team in wrestling today, they should've won here, or at the very least lost to Darby instead.
I wanted to like Ruby vs Britt so much, but I'm just not buying the love it's getting. It was messy. I think Britt is great, but an average wrestler at best. Ruby has the hype but isn't good enough to live up to it. Her finisher in particular is awful and looks like it wouldn't knock a child over. Britt winning was correct and I hope they move on to the Thunder Rosa match soon.
8/10 show, was entertained. Looking forward to Rampage.

That is a great explanation and really makes it point and dry. It just makes the refs look incompetent. Where was the second ref to tell the one Miro kicked Eddie in the junk? After he was messing with the pad. Talking of dumb refs, the stupid refereeing kinda ruined the 5th Labour for me as well. Aubrey takes the ring off MJF and then turns her back to allow shenanigans to happen so she can find someone ringside to take the ring. It's a ring. Just put it in your pocket so you don't miss anything. So dumb.

Just finished watching All Out. A few thoughts: - Miro vs Eddie Kingston, Moxley vs Kojima and Punk vs Allin my top 3 matches of the night, with Punk vs Allin number 1. Great to see Punk back doing what he does best. - The tag title match was good in spots, but man some of it is just too choreographed for my liking. The spot where they all did kip-ups and superkicks was so stupid and made me shake my head at how ridiculously planned it looked. The Young Bucks play to their crowd like few others, but they're just not for me. - Ruby Soho winning the battle royal was cool. - Omega vs Christian probably one of my favourite Omega matches, but that's all down to how incredible Christian still is at 48. - I get what they were going for at the end with the 2 surprise debuts, but man, lumping Adam Cole in with the oversized goofy Elite has already killed him for me, I already don't care. Also, guess Tony couldn't get the rights to The Final Countdown, but still awesome to see Bryan. Overall, 8/10 show. Good stuff. Also, one point I forgot to make: - MJF/Jericho: I hate it when they have 1 ref tell another ref what they missed so they can restart the match. Just makes you question why a 2nd ref doesn't always come down to call out cheating and such.

Edge vs Rollins was MOTN. Absolute banger from 2 of the best. Seth Rollins is still criminally underrated in my eyes.
Roman vs Cena was a banger as well. Love that Roman won clean. And Lesnar's return was great. Sidenote: that Cena shirt based off Super Mario looks cool af.
I'm probably in the minority, but I liked Becky's return and aftermath. I'm not a fan of Bianca Belair, she's a terrible babyface and her personality grates on me. This should turn her heel for a 2nd match with Becky, a role she will be much more suited to.

I think that after all my years of watching wrestling, I finally have an answer to the question "Who is the most embarrassing wrestler I've ever seen?"
Luther. The answer is Luther. What a god awful main event.
End on positivity, the dog collar match was much better than I thought it would be. Cody is evolving into HHH.

Just listened to a quick clip on Youtube of Alvarez and Meltzer discussing the main event.
Dave describes the main event as great but he expected better, and nothing else on the card was great, only good.
This man's bias is unreal. Kills him to say WWE put on a great show.
Scrolling through Bryan's twitter, he seemed to love every match. He's really grown on me recently.

Did the rest of the UE just all go their separate ways after walking Kyle to the curtain? Surely they watched the match together in the back?

Holy sh*t! That main event was unbelievable. One of the best matches all year and probably the best show of the year! Great stuff.

Rey Mysterio vs Dean Malenko - Great American Bash 1996
Rey's first PPV match in WCW, great stuff. It was actually a solid PPV all round, which I imagine was unusual for WCW in the Nitro era.

I'm about half way through 1996 Nitros and I'm sad knowing I'm close to the end of Surfer Sting. He's just so great.

So NXT is in the PC Center starting tonight? I’m so confused. I thought WWE was in the PC center since the Pandemic started and then the recently moved Raw and Smackdown to the arena? When did NXT move back to Full Sail? NXT has been in Full Sail for a while. I've read Takeover is in the PC and they're having fans, although I don't know how true the 2nd part is.
