Q & A

  • What was the good thing about the trios championship match?

    -It was a much needed title defense by the acclaimed after they had fallen off the map on Dynamite recently. It also utilized the criminally underutilized team of the Jericho Appreciation Society.

  • How did Hook promise that his and Samoa Joe's paths would cross again?

    -After Hook lost to Joe last week, he showed up to acknowledge his defeat and shake Joe's hand, telling the submission specialist he'll be back to face him again someday.

  • What is the Dealer's Choice stipulation and why is it interesting?

    -For the match between Swerve Strickland and Hangman Adam Page, each wrestler will get to choose the stipulation for when they wrestle each other next week. This adds an element of mystery and allows them to make life difficult for their rival.

  • Why was the Tony Storm and Diamante Perez segment entertaining even though it was corny?

    -Storm infused an otherwise tired gimmick with new life by having the segment be black and white while Perez was in color. They also played off their history together well.

  • Why do Valkyrie and Johnny Elite have promise as an act?

    -Their promos are solid and Valkyrie is a good enough wrestler that fans can enjoy her matches in addition to the promos. It's too bad AEW doesn't do more with mixed tag matches.

  • What was AEW's focus during this episode of Dynamite?

    -They focused on building up their undercard talent, even if the outcomes of the matches were predictable. Most wrestlers looked strong even in defeat.

  • What is Wardlow's current role in AEW?

    -He continues to be booked as an unstoppable monster, so fans know he means business when he finally gets into a real storyline.

  • What potential is there in The Young Bucks' new EVP gimmick?

    -It could give them a renewed sense of direction and vitality as heels, while playing off their real-life executive roles in the company.

  • Why don't fans likely care about the Orange Cassidy vs. Roderick Strong match?

    -Cassidy's title reign has been erratic and Strong has been booked as a joke so far in AEW, so there is little interest despite Strong's talent.

  • What was AEW's goal with this episode of Dynamite?

    -They focused more on elevating the undercard rather than having marquee matches. This may frustrate fans seeking big matches but helps build depth.

play00:47

Dynamite and a criminally unutilized

play00:49

team of the Mogul Embassy number two

play00:51

hook promises Joe their paths will cross

play00:54

aw world champion Samo Joe defeated hook

play00:56

last week but he didn't crush him hook

showed up to acknowledge his defeat and

play01:00

Shake Joe's hand before telling this Mo

play01:02

and submission machine he'll be back

play01:03

somewhere down the road this was an

play01:05

effective way to wrap up last week's

play01:07

match and show hook will be an even

play01:08

tougher opponent when he returns number

play01:10

three swer versus Paige Deal's Choice

play01:13

play01:16

has shown how to keep the feud hot with

play01:18

its swerve Strickland versus hangman

play01:19

Adam page program the Dealer's Choice

play01:21

stipulation is another example of how to

play01:23

keep things interesting in this case

play01:25

each wrestler will get to make life

play01:26

miserable for their rival when they

play01:28

wrestle next week by choosing the

play01:30

stipulation number four Diana and Tony

play01:32

segment was corny a but entertaining

play01:35

somehow Tony storm continues to infuse a

play01:37

Timeless commi with new life last night

play01:39

sit down between her and Di Perez was

play01:41

Corf with Tony sitting in a black and

play01:43

white screen and Di Living Color

play01:45

nonetheless storm and pzo made it work

play01:47

as storm continued her delusional rant

play01:49

while Diana begged Tony du to bring back

play01:51

the tough wrestler she trained with

play01:53

reminding Tony of their past bond by

play01:55

showing their matching ankle tattoos

play01:57

number five mtea Valkyrie and Johnny TV

play02:00

please T Valkyrie and Johnny TV

play02:02

couple their promos are solid and te is

play02:07

a good enough worker that fans can enjoy

play02:09

her matches in addition to her promos

play02:11

it's unfortunate aw doesn't do more with

play02:13

the mix tag matches as ta and Johnny

play02:14

could shine in this area number six aw

play02:17

showcases a variety of Talent last

play02:19

night's Dynamite was another show where

play02:21

aw focused on building its undercard

play02:23

even though most of last night's matches

play02:25

had predictable outcomes that's not to

play02:27

say that Dynamite was largely Joba

play02:29

matches because the majority of the

play02:30

wrestlers who came up short such as

play02:32

Trent veretta still look strong at times

play02:34

number seven Wardlow is a beast and

play02:37

while it doesn't look like aw is doing

play02:39

anything substantial with Wardlow give

play02:41

the promotion credit for at least

play02:42

continuing to push him as a monster at

play02:44

least fans will know he's not playing

play02:45

around when he gets into a storyline

play02:47

number eight the Young Bucks EVP gimmick

play02:50

might actually be good how Matthew and

play02:52

Nicholas Jackson's new gimmicks say

play02:54

concerned aw Executive Vice Presidents

play02:56

who are really only concerned about

play02:58

themselves gold well no but it has

play03:00

promise and hopefully it'll give the

play03:01

buck a new run as heals Direction and

play03:03

vitality and stocks in big bills

play03:05

excellent heal promo you can't go wrong

play03:07

with the bases as seen with last night's

play03:09

promo as aw World Tag Team Champions

play03:11

Ricky Starks and Big Bill cut a good

play03:13

heill promo when they initially price

play03:15

sting a derby Allen before burying them

play03:17

by promising to end stings run in aew

play03:20

that was good what about the bad is

play03:21

number one does anyone care about rodri

play03:24

strong versus orange Cassidy orange

play03:25

Cassidy's International Championship

play03:27

Reign continues to be erratic as he

play03:29

defends title against a top Contender

play03:31

one week such as Moxley who then finds

play03:33

himself defending against a prize chop

play03:35

like Rodrick strong strong is a solid

play03:37

worker but he's been booked as a joke in

play03:39

aw so far number two broken security

play03:42

barrier spot is so tired the broken

play03:45

security barrier spot is so tired

play03:47

especially in aw where it looks like

play03:48

Marco stun could be knocking an opponent

play03:50

through it the WWE is just as guilty of

play03:53

overusing this spot but at least their

play03:55

security barrier looks solid and there

play03:57

was nothing ugly just an average show

play03:58

that lacked any Market matches instead

play04:00

focusing on building aw's undercard and

play04:02

forwarding story lines aw obviously

play04:05

wants to use its Flagship show to

play04:06

elevate its undercard but fans may not

play04:08

be willing to sit through an average

play04:10

show like this would you guys think of

play09:00

Melo recently commented on this saying

play09:02

the WWE Network itself does exist

recent open letter sent to Triple H

play09:36

regarding the WWE's apparent decision to

play09:38

book The Rock vs Roman Reigns at

play09:40

Wrestlemania 40 instead of the long

play09:41

roomed Cody vs Reigns match here are

play09:43

some excerpts from Tiffany castagna a

play09:46

devoted Cody fan I'm not sure what's

play09:48

true but this would be a crime you spent

play09:49

2 years beautifully telling this story

play09:52

Cody has done everything right he's

play09:53

worked so hard he's the face of the

play09:55

company the fans love him he brings in

play09:57

tons of money last year's WrestleMania

play09:59

was was the biggest erever and it was

play10:00

headlined by Cody rhods and Roman Reigns

play10:02

she closed out by saying I hope that

play10:03

with you in charge and not Vince McMahon

play10:05

something like this wouldn't even be a

play10:07

concern I pray this is some kind of

play10:08

swerve but at this point I don't know

play10:10

and I need to put this out there

play10:11

throwing away a 2-year build something

play10:13

that fans are extremely behind and have

play10:15

already paid and plan trips to see is a

play10:18

very vinced move and would be incredibly

play10:20

disappointing after how far the WWE has

play10:22

come with you in charge what do you guys

play10:24

think of this Fan's letter is she on the
