AEW Dynamite 3/11/20: Cowboy for a Day

I don't think they're turning him at all. Very much a shades of Grey story. They talked a lot about those more less defined lines between heels and faces at launch time, I think this is our first real example of what that looks like

OK show, but definitely in my opinion the weakest episode of the year.

Enjoyed seeing Butcher and Blade actually win a match for once.

Thinking more, the attack on Nick might actually setup the mystery partner to be in blood and guts replacing him. (or it could just be Dustin, who knows).

I 100% agree, but I’m really interested to see what the payoff is going to be

Isn't it a breath of fresh air that a company's plans aren't so transparent?

Cody & ortiz was pretty good. I always enjoy a ortiz match, claws, planks, afros, "the best" chants, whats not to like?

Lance archer being jake the snakes client wasn't really a surprise but no complaints from me. If I was AEW though I wouldn't of announced his signing before this episode.

I still am going to complain that there are way too many tag matches on the card, are they trying to be a Japanese wrestling company? I get it if they are trying to be different from WWE or whatever but basically the whole card was tag matches...I want more singles matches even if the main event continue to be tag matches. Tag matches get to be boring to me after awhile.

The womens tag was kinda lack luster as usual but the ending was pretty good and unexpecting. Bea seems a lot better than the last time I seen her. I think she could have a great run with the belt and could be another great heel. 

Christopher Daniels promo was GOLD! loved it but it really didn't make sense when he challenged uno & stu to see if the exalted one would actually show and then later on in the night they just announce "oh he is showing up next week"? wtf?

Jurassic express vs mjf & BBB was good. I think that could be a great feud. I know Luchasaurus is over as hell and I love the guy too but I don't really see him being as agile as people make him out to be. I really would like to see more singles matches with him to showcase what he can do.

Britts promos with tony has ran its course, these are turning into wash, rinse, repeat and they really don't do that much for me anymore. I already hate her and its pretty clear she is already a heel. She should be attacking women in back or something or going in the ring by herself and cutting a promo like MJF does. Her promos are pretty lame and fake, kinda like her. I'm not a big swole fan but it was pretty awesome when she said "i'm married baybay" haha I popped for that.

Darby's promos are kinda cool but they are so random, I know he's still after sammy but I need more story telling in this.

I fast forward through death triangle, although I popped when joey did the Zandig pose haha death triangle is just so random. Pac was doing so well as a singles competitor and should of started chasing moxly. I see this death triangle thing becoming boring really fast. Again just another faction AEW doesn't need, they have like 20 now...

I really like dustin rhodes, he can cut a nice promo, is very intense and believable and love his move set. Always puts on a great match. The main even tag was actually pretty good, the synced flips and the finish. Although did dustin get knocked out for a second? Did anyone notice that weird pin where the ref hit dustins leg to kick him out?

Overall good show once again.

Glad the war games match has a roof!

 

I can see Omega vs. Page down the road for the title, that's probably the end game of the story

That's what I was thinking, it just looked like the pin wasn't broken up.

Quote of the night was definitely Big Swole's "I'm married...BAY-BAY!"
