2019-10-02 AEW Dynamite Review

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, whenever it is you find this.  I have returned after a long LONG absence of blogging.  Work and private life got real hectic real fast but I back....and better than ever!

I return to review the first-ever AEW show that happened tis past Wednesday night.  If you are new to my blog and reviews I will give you my thoughts as I watch it and then give you a summary afterwards.

So lets get to the tape as it were for the debut of AEW Dynamite!

• Why are there so many table sops in their opening?  Good grief!
• I know some don't like Excalibers look, but I think it is different although a little goofy with the mask
• Of course, we start off a Rhodes promotion with a Rhodes!  Dusty would be proud for some many reasons
• Wait...what is the difference between your life and your career Sammy?
• OH MY GOD, I cannot take Sammy serious if he is wearing that stupid polar bear outfit thing, Cody better beat him in about 30 seconds if he wears that!
• Brandi might be the most beautiful woman in wrestling today
• Good grief Sammy looks like a bad stripper hired for a rednecks bachelorette party
• Sammy is a great athlete but looks so silly
• I love having a female official, but it should be ladies for ladies and men for men, but that probably makes me an old man
• Vlogger?  Good grief!
• The delayed suplex is great but overdone.  It used to be special when Davey Boy did it
• Uggg, I hate the AEW crowd and their noise
• Huh?  Run through the house with a pickle in his mouth?
• Really?  A Brandi bump early on?  I hope they are strapping the rocket on this Sammy kid because if not...
• Cody needed to sell that inverted superplex a minute more
• Cody does not stand a chance if it takes him this much to beat Sammy
• I do not like Justin Roberts voice as a ring announcer
• Tony Schiavone looks GREAT!
• Why did Cody just keep talking to Sammy as the fans starting freaking out?
• Interesting they want to commercial but kept the attack going
• Jericho's "sleeve" looks awful....well most do honestly
• This attack is taking forever.  I thought this stuff was supposed to NOT happen in AEW.  Rules matter right?
• Love the stagehand shoving Jericho around, great camera work boys
• WTF IS BRANDON CUTLER?!?!  He looks like a bad jobber from the '80s
• Really a friend of the Young Bucks?
• Here is the biggest star in AEW, MJF!  
• Good grief he does have a D&D shirt!
• Really Excaliber?  Talking about D&D WAY too much, hope WotC paid for that!
• Two matches two dives....hopefully we will see a superkick at some point
• Love it, he cheated to win and we all know he did not need to, is he the only true heel in wrestling?
• Who is this horrible interviewer?  He is awful!
• Well that segment was Raw Host bad
• Scorpio does a pretty good Obama!
• Are SCU faces or heels?
• Another wasted segment.  Its like Thunder here!
• Wait, what is Aubrey doing?  If Daniels cannot push her around how can he do anything!  COME ON!
• How great is PAC?  Honestly, AEW has some of the best heels going today
• Is Earl Hebner the oldest official in wrestling ever?
• Second running Shoot Star Press, we should not be seeing repeat big moves like that in my opinion
• Is PAC the best wrestler in the world right now?
• Riho is just not believable as a challenger to ANYONE
• How many people are going to turn their backs on their opponents?
• Seriously this is just weird to see someone the size of a child beating up a full-grown adult
• So there are no rules in AEW, got it
• Yep, Riho gets the win because that makes sense, 98-pound champion who looks like a schoolgirl.  Guess you got to keep those Anime fans somehow
• Speaking of school kids here comes the Young Bucks....well the one looks like a balding school kid
• Only one of these six looks like stars and he is the champion!
• Omega would if he didn't shake his head and point around all time.  
• Jim Cornette talks about it and calls it jazz hands
• Wow superkicks by the bucks, really some unique stuff
• Why would you want to jump through your brothers legs?
• Omega is taking literally 30 seconds to do something
• WHERE IS THE BELL?  No rules again
• VIP area that is just next to the bar and no one is in it?
• Why would Moxley go through it too?  He went through the glass before Kenny boy
• Really?  So a bad back he can suplex TWO guys at once?  
• Nick needs to cut his hair, good grief he almost has a skullet that Heyman would be proud of!
• nWo style brawl to end the show
• Where is MJF to help Cody...both times?

An excellent to a very good show.  I am shocked by how much I enjoyed the show since I have not enjoyed most of their pay per views.  I think the stars gave too much too the others but seeing the end of the show made more sense on the Sammy stuff earlier.  Looks like it is going to be a big push for LAX and Sammy which will be interesting when you have real men like Hager who tower over most of the roster.  Overall I'd give the show a 4/5, very good.  However like WWE tweeted out, it is a marathon not a sprint.  Lets see what I am saying come first of the year or this time next year!  

However from a wrestling fans standpoint, we now have AEW, Raw, Smackdown, NXT, NXT UK, Impact on AXS and NJPW all airing in the US.  Plus NWA and OVW both regularly on YouTube (next week for the NWA).  It is an excellent time to be a fan of pro wrestling boys and girls and this fat man is very very happy!
