AEW Dynamite 9/3/22 | A Late Coherent Review.

Since this past week's Rampage episode is a go-home show for Revolution (aka an anarchist's favourite word besides the concept of not showering), imma just review Dynamite solely. And how was Dynoomitte!? 

To the shock of no one besides that antismark, it was a pretty darn good show. 

Inner Circle 2.0

This opening segment went from Chris Jericho and Eddie Kingston respecting each other to turning on Kingston as well as Santana and Ortiz to form an Inner Circle 2.0 with Daniel Garcia, the former Ever-Rise and Jack no Swag. 

But what made this segment so special to me wasn't Chris' millionth heel turn but rather Eddie Kingston's promo. The way he tied his dialogue with his article was SO F**KING GOOD! 

That man will always be a gem. 

Hangman Page defeated Dante Martin For AEW Title To Which………….. 

Out came Adam Cole and he basically did the "loss wasn't fair" cliche and challenged him to a 6 man tag team match, playas for next week's episode. 

Later in the show, Cole chose his Undisputed Era brothers while Page picked the current tag team champions, The Jurassic Express. 

And this is the part where I'm going to put the "should be interesting" line here. 

"I Say, Little Bryan And Jon, In An Active Goodwill. Would You Please Come Outside So I Can Play With Your Balls?" 

After the team of Jonny Mox and D Bry defeated the team of Anthony Henry and JD Drake, William Regal's dialogue was a good one but it just dragged on as long as the third act of The Batman. 

I still enjoyed how William Regal made an impact on both Mox and Danielson's wrestling tenure. 

Pac vs Wheeler Yuta. 

A decent match for what it was. Pac prevailed with the rings of Saturn. 

The Swanton Boyz Are Back! 

Matt Hardy wanted to settle the score with Andrade but things went south as El Idolo as well as The Butcher, Blade and Private Party turned on Matt. 

And you know how the story goes from here. People came out to save someone only to be blinded which led to someone else coming to the rescue. 

What makes this different is that a certain individual made their first appearance. 

And it was black Twitter's favourite wrestler, Jeff Hardy. 

Jeff didn't just clean the apartment, he cleaned the ENTIRE BUILDING! I was legitimately surprised when the Hardy Boyz's theme song was played but reading the reports, it does make a lot of sense. 

It's still surreal to hear that piece of music though. 

Wardlow said, "F that MJF kid!" 

That headline pretty much described his entire in-ring promo other than the fact that he pulled a Bobby Brown and said: "On Our Own" (I know it's "our" and not "my own" but you get what I'm saying).

Wardlow kept it "simple, stupid" with his promo and I appreciate it since the show kinda dragged on in the first-hour mark. 

Jurassic Express vs The Acclaimed For The AEW World Tag Team Championship. 

Another decent match and you know what's also decent!? Max Caster's freestyle. I actually didn't hate it this time (I think you need Allah, therapy and Indian food, Omar because that last line was concerning). 

The Jungle guys retained the championship with a doomsday device. 

Lelya Hirsh vs Thunder Rosa. Winner Faces Britt Baker For The AEW World Women's Championship. 

Hirsh brought Rosa to her limit but somehow Thunder prevailed with the fire thunder driver and the title match!? It'll take place in a salad steel cage! 

I was pulling for Hirsh to win the match just because it was something new and different but I don't hate this just because it isn't a standard rematch again in the sense that it's a different stipulation this time. 

Scorpion Sky Wins The TNT Championship. Finally! 

Well, that took a year or so! How did Sammy lose the title!? It was the RIBS, THE RIBS, THE RIBS! 

Well, his ribs and not that nasty looking sandwich from McDonald's although that is something WWE would do. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Reminder that both Eddie Kingston and William Regal are so good at the talking thing, Finally, Scorpio Sky is the TNT champion, HARDY BOYZZZZZ! 

Didn't like: The pacing of the show was off.

The 5 News Week: Quick Predictions On Wrestlemania: Backlash.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor pro wrestling news, rumours and spoilers of the week that I don't have time to do it separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.   A Brief Thoughts On AEW Dynamite.  For the first time on this very series, I am going to briefly discuss my thoughts on AEW Dynamite and it was decent for the most part. I do have some perspectives on a few key things.  Most notably, that Cody Rhodes promo which by the way, was without exaggeration, one of the worst PROMOS I've ever witnessed as a 14 year veteran in the wrestling fandom.  The overall dialogue was an example of American imperialism and without a little or too much propaganda (while having the basic understanding of American imperialism), it exposed the very dated nature of the "America vs foreign heel" storyline.  Let's move on to the positives. Miro's booking in recent months has been exc...

NXT Takeover: Stand And Deliver Night 2 | A Coherent Review.

While I prefer night one of NXT Takeover: Stand And Deliver ( check out the review here ), night 2 did bring in some solid encounters from talented performers.  Images via WWE.com Santos Escobar vs Jordan Devlin For The Cruiserweight Championship In A Ladder Match.  This opening encounter was pretty fun to witness. During the match, Devlin delivered a sick looking moonsault shades of Kurt Angle ala the early 2000s from the top of the ladder to Escobar.  Speaking of moves from the ladder, Devlin nailed a Spanish fly.  The match concluded with Escobar pushing Devlin that had the Irishmen land through a ladder to which Escobar grabbed both belts to crown himself the undisputed cruiserweight champion.  I'm surprised that the folks over at the yellow made the decision to have Santos win this match given that he's too good to be in that division and he should be in the main event scene or even in the North American title picture at the very least.  However, I ain...

AEW Dynamite Blood And Guts | A Coherent Review.

Another watchable episode of AEW Dynamite but this time, it features the first-ever Blood And Guts encounter. Kenny Omega And Michael Nakazawa vs Jon Moxley And Eddie Kingston.  Don Callis announced that Michael Nakazawa is going to face Mox and Kingston all by himself only for Kenny Omega to show up and compete in the match anyway.  A weird booking choice but I'm just nitpicking.  What wasn't weird was how the match ended with a double team dragon suplex into a clothesline from the duo of Mox and Kingston to Nakazawa.  Then, a beatdown ensued from Omega's Posse to Jonny Mox and Eddie Kingston. The Young Bucks vs Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston? I'm down.  It was revealed later in the night that a number one contenders match for the AEW championship is set up for next week's show between Orange Cassidy and Pac. I'm assuming AEW is saving the Hangman Page and Kenny Omega encounter for All Out?  Either way, AEW has the potential to tell an interesting story of ...
