Loving Willow's Black/Yellow Owen tribute gear, cool to see something different than the normal Pink/Black color combo

Good match
WOW, didn't expect Mariah to turn on Toni. She got her good with a couple of those shots with the shoe. Gonna be a great match at Wembley

Not the popular opinion, but I’m more excited for Mariah/Toni than I would have been Jamie/Toni.

I know they had to write Samoa Joe off TV, but they probably could have done it better than this Chris Jericho stuff

So happy that Bryan finally gets his time. Dude has given his all every night since debuting and could easily make an argument for being in 50% of AEW's top 50 matches.
AEW's been on fire.

The last two episodes of Dynamite have been some of my favorite in the shows history. That final shot was like something out of a horror film.

As usual this week's Dynamite review is brought to you by, bWo's Own Personal Notebook.
Ospreay/MJF Promo - I thought this was average. Ospreay didn't really have a lot of fire and seemed to just be mumbling at times. MJF was fine. I know he can't be yelling and screaming all the time but I like angry heel MJF more than I like calm heel MJF. I agree with Crane. I think Garcia is going to screw MJF next week which will lead to them at Wembley.
Taz - Announcers tell us that Jericho AGAIN had Taz banned from the arena. I guess Christopher Daniels had the week off again? He is supposed to have authority. Why is he letting The Bucks do this to Taz? Why is Tony Khan allowing The Bucks to interfere with his number 1 rated show and the show he sits backstage and produces? I'll tell you why. Taz recently got surgery to fix his knee. He is involved in the Learning Tree vs Hook business. With Samoa Joe gone what are the chances TAZ HIMSELF (and probably Shibata because it will be 3 on 3) steps back into the ring at Wembley and tags with his son? If he could pull off a couple of Tazplexas (which would be as much as he often did in his prime) on Jericho the fans would cheer it. Hook is supposed to be the star of that match so he can do most of the work with Shibata. Taz is coming back for one night and 2 Tazplxas only. Book it.
Danielson vs Hangman (men's OHMT finals) - This was awesome. Danielson's top rope slingshot suicide dive to the floor dropped my jaw. Initially I was 100% expecting Jarrett to screw Hangman somehow but he didn't have the guitar with him so I figured it would be something else. After Hangman pie faced him I was DEFINITELY expecting something. When the ref shirt came out I was SURE it was going to be a fast count. And then he just ended up calling it down the middle. I was expecting something but in the end was glad it didn't happen because the match was fantastic and didn't need the added shenanigans. Danielson deserves to win the World Title in front of the biggest crowd at the biggest show of the year.
Swerve Promo - He moved the angle forward for Wembley and added his name to Team AEW at Blood & Guts. Having all these stars in a CRAZY MATCH a month before you go to England for your biggest show of the year seems like a recipe for injury. I don't like the timing.
Acclaimed and Daddy Ass Rap Video - I didn't like it. I know Max can spit more venom than that. They should air this during a PPV and let him use more expletives.
Jericho vs Somao Joe in a Stampede Fight - I can NEVER get tired of Joe's "walk away" spot. He had another one where Jericho had him in a headlock and Joe COMPLETELY stopped selling and was looking at at Jericho like, "what are you doing?" and then took over control. It was great. Joe is one of the few guys I can "allow" to get away with that. I don't think Jericho got as loud as a cheer as he thought when he dumped out the horse shoes. As soon as I saw the forklift the first thing I thought was "what kind of an idiot leaves their forklift parked with a skid on the forks 3 feet in the air?" I thought they were going to pin Joe under it but when Jericho put him on it I had no idea what they were doing. There was nowhere for them to go and Jericho was driving as slow as possible. I liked the "wall spot." Joe looked all crumpled up and broken inside. I didn't like how long they took to get to it though. Jericho's, "bye Joe" after they drove him away in an ambulance was really good.
PAC/Claudio/Kyle Fletcher/Tomohiro Ishii in a Global Glory 4-Way - Um. "Global Glory 4-Way" sounds like something you would NEVER let your kid google............. Good match. It didn't have any "fall off my couch moments" though. Claudio looked like he miss-timed the finish or something because he was just kind of standing there at the end. Ishii looked like he tripped coming off the ropes at one point and things looked ugly. Claudio's suicide diver over the top looked awesome. I liked Pac's post match promo. An angry b@stard is the best kind of b@stard.
Hangman Backstage - Renee YELLING at Page to show her some respect was surprisingly fun. Backstage interviewers are always simps. Renee actually getting mad that the wrestlers won't let her do her job is pretty damn funny. She should continue that going forward. I really like how Okada flexed on Hangman by not letting him in The Elite's dressing room. The second time he said, "Can I help you" was awesome. Sounded like Page agreed to be the 5th man for Team Elite at Blood & Guts. He wants to get his hands on Swerve and lost the chance for Wembley. I guess this is how he'll do it. I'm guessing he does something BRUTAL to Swerve that will "soften him up" and will come into play when he loses to Danielson at All In. It protects Swerve a little bit because he loses injured, and Danielson exploiting an injury is something everyone expects him to do and wants him to do. If someone's got a "bad arm" we all expect Danielson so stretch it. That's his style. He won't come out looking heel-ish at all.
Mercedes Double Championship Celebration - Yeah didn't we do this last week? The EXACT SAME celebration? Two belts, two celebrations? WTF? Mone got no reaction when she came out. The fans kind of boo'd her when she mentioned her friends Matthew and Nicholas Jackson. She got MASSIVE boo's when she turned Britt's "past, present, and future" line into her being the, "best their was, best there is, and the best there ever will be." Britt Came out and Mercedes ran through the crowd. I was surprised Britt didn't say anything. Britt is too skinny now. If she gets any smaller she's going to be the same size as Adam Cole. Ba Da BING.
Darby Allin Promo - Allin just kind of shows up in the back having just beat up Brandon Cutler. He challenges Jack Perry for next week. Sounds good. This was the most random segment on the show. Tony Khan classic. It got me thinking and realizing that you can't spell "All In" without "Allin". I should trademark that.
Mariah vs Willow Nightingale (Women's OHMT Finals) - Willow in her black and yellow Owen colours and May wearing Brett Hart's pink and black. They do a spot where Storm distracts the ref, Stokely Hathaway distracts Willow as Kris Statlander shows up and running kicks Willow followed by Mariah May hitting a running knee on Willow............. And Willow kicks out. A few minutes later Willow had May on her shoulders and May turned it into a victory roll for the win. It was an awesome "out of nowhere finish" which made me wonder why they bothered with all the interference and distractions just prior only to have willow lose 100% clean anyways? Every time Willow goes to do her Cannonball I think, "OH NO." Post match came THE TURN.
Holy shet I wasn't expecting this, and it was AWESOME. After May smashed Storm with the belt and she came up bleeding I was totally hoping we would get a black and white camera shot of Toni's bloody face. The belt shot came out of nowhere. May landed a couple of NASTY shots with the shoe. Toni Storm grabbed her face after one with an obvious OUCH moment when the shoe connected to her mouth. Going to see Britt Baker after that one. Luthor going through the table looked good. It was HILARIOUS when May shoved Aubrey down. You could see and and hear Edwards on the ground say, "WHAT THE F*CK?" Toni got some great color and pale skin made it look better. May kissing and licking the blood got her a well deserved, "you're a sick feck" chant."
This episode was up and down for me. More good than bad. It didn't sound like the crowd was into much of it. I figured the Canadian crowd would have done more to destroy Mercedes but nope. They were loudest for the May turn which sucks because that was the very end of the show. Not as good a show as last week (not even close) but it was good and they moved the stories along which is a positive. The May turn at the end was the best thing on the show.

Only reasonable explanation for Ospreay vs MJF on TV is a finish that leads to some sort of triple threat or rematch at all in

I figured off the hop based on where I bought seats and the shirts two of them were wearing, but did confirm I was sitting behind Tommy Billingtons family. (They left after his match and we moved to the front and their media guy friend stayed and we chatted a bit). They were beaking Willow (politely, not like jerks) that she was setting up the sharpshooter on the wrong side.

It's going to be England vs England (Ospreay vs Pac) for the International Title at All In. Garcia wanted his match with MJF and will get it by screwing MJF in his match next week against Ospreay.

I think MFJ vs Will is a much bigger match than the two matches we will probably get instead.
Feels like All In should be treated as the companies biggest show of the year but last years card wasn’t exactly amazing either. In my opinion.

I actually think MJF beats Osprey, via cheating, beats PAC on tv the next few weeks on tv, Osprey beats MJF for the belt at Wembley and then they do Osprey vs PAC at all out while MJF fights Garcia there as well.

Tickets were too cheap to not go to the Blood and Guts show. Morbidly curious how this one pans out.
