Lets see, the first match, Gimmick match? Check. Blood? Check. Run in or interference? Check. They hit all their show spots in the first match! lol

I really hope Athena beats Cargill, because the undefeated thing has gotten really old. Especially because Jade is just terrible.

Hoping Omega is healthy enough to come back and tag with the Bucks for the Tournament.

Jericho/Moxley was as good as you could expect, since Jericho is a few steps slower and Moxley is just wild and sloppy and only wants to bleed in every match. Oh and the blood means almost nothing when you do it every single match. Hell they had blood in the Brody/Darby match earlier so this meant even less. I would have had Jericho win the belt, because even being a few steps slower, he's still a better option than Moxley against Punk. Punk has been slow and easily winded since he returned, and now coming back from an injury? He'll be gassed in the first 5 mins. So we'll get a slow (and Im sure far too long) match between Punk/Moxley, so to cover it they'll just have Moxley bleeding everywhere so people will say "That was awesome!" Just sad that you have Danielson on the roster and you're pushing these two guys instead.

Agree Jericho might not be putting on the match he did 5-10 years ago but he's still very good and at this point it should be him putting over the young talent who can use a rub from him. Moxley is just trash. Only thing he can do is bleed and act like he's in a drunken bar room brawl. I see no point in having him be the champ. I rather see a young guy be the the interm champ to fight Punk be the new generation vs the old guard.

I read an article other day saying lot of younger AEW talent is not happy they are getting little to no TV time as Kahn keeps pushing the old guys.

Will say again Tony Kahn is nothing but Dixie Carter. A person who is using daddy's money to run a company and instead of relying on experinced people to help them run it they are running the company how they want to no matter how they screw it up.

Just got caught up on this weeks dynamite. Y’all can whine and moan about the blood all you want but that main event was an absolute banger of a match.

Whine and moan? Its called common sense. When you have blood every single week, it means NOTHING. Save it for a big match that ends a feud or something. Not some random match on Dynamite or Rampage.

Oh and forgot the worst part of Punk coming back....his long winded and repetitive 20 min promos.

Fights have blood. Blood doesn't have to "mean" something. It's a byproduct of a fight. We should actually see it more often, not less.

I definitely understand how it can feel not special now but I really can't wrap my head around the logic of people that feel a match is just ruined if he bleeds. There's UFC on ESPN literally every single week. If you sit down and watch one and you'll notice pretty much every single fight someones gonna end up bleeding, it's just something that's inevitable. I thought it really added to the end of the match in this case because it felt like the final round of a real fight were 2 guys have beat the hell out of each other and have nothing left until one guy catches a choke and ends it.

Are you high? Do you even know the minds he has backstage at his disposal? He has amazing agents and "experienced people" backstage. And WHO says he's "screwing up" anything? You?

He is not pushing old guys. He is using the "old guys" to get the young guys over. Do you even watch the show?

LOL not pushing old guys that's why Moxley is the interm champ that's why Punk was made the champ. Clear Kahn is not listening to anyone in back but himself doing what he wants. Part of reason Cody left he was being shut out by Kahn. You sound like a AEW mark who does nothing but praise the show every week no matter if it has issues. I am a casual fan who thinks both the WWE and AEW right now is not putting out the best product it can but I know you will disagree with me because AEW marks would scream this is awesome if they put a flaming turd on the mat for fans to watch.

Thing is UFC that's a guy getting cut open for real not a guy taking a razor blade to his head every week to bust open. It used to be blood was saved for PPV's in a big match to make the match seem even more special. When you have a guy bleeding every week it becomes just oh blood in a match again meh.

Why do so many people that hate AEW watch AEW? I’m confused

I think WWE is garbage so I don’t watch WWE. I can learn what I want to learn, if it’s interesting, in 39 seconds on Twitter

Do people really have this much time on their hands? What am I doing wrong?

Thing is that does WWE suck with a lot of their storylines? Yes they do and I think WWE fans will even admit to that. BUT AEW fans want to never admit AEW ever does anything wrong and that all they do is great.

Watch out guys, dont dare to have an opposite opinion or even have a rational conversation even if you DO both praise AND criticize AEW...

Lest you be labelled a troll, AEW schill/homer, and be sent a pm that you are a problem and are now blocked lol

Sorry but I have seen were AEW has put on a weak TV show and seen AEW fans say I thought it was great. It's going to happen you can't have great show every week some weeks there will be a dud in there were there are to many promos and the matches are not quality. But instead of defending the company and saying it's great admit the show was lackluster.

I've seen some AEW fans do that and seen some WWE fans do that as well. You're always gonna have those diehards of anything that will defend their favorite team/brand etc to know and put blinders on.

Wrestling is all subject to opinion though. Just because you think a show might be weak does not mean that others didn't absolutely have fun watching it or really liked the parts that you hated or thought were done poorly. Like we all know Jericho on here just hates everything about Moxley, fine whatever. I am totally fine with him bleeding in every match. 30 years of watching wrestling has not deterred me from enjoying any match where someone blades or gets busted open.

I have not had a week where I didn't really have fun watching the show, call me a mark, say I'm full of bs whatever but I'm at least having a great time with AEW as the matches are a lot more my style with going back to ECW and earlier TNA Action style matches

Totally. I'm not a fan of AEW because the flippy no-selling Wrestling matches so I don't watch. (Will I watch a CM Punk promo? Absolutely).

No idea why Wrestling fans watch something they don't enjoy.

This

I don’t watch WWE since it’s the same match 6 weeks in a row (which is fine… whatever)

I like the old 80’s storylines

But why would I watch WWE just to bitch about it on blowout?

I wish I had that kind of time

You should try it again...MUCH better recently.

AEW feels contrived to me. Pandering for a pop in everything they do. I don't love AEW, I don't dislike AEW. I enjoy wrestling and I try to watch as much as possible because it is an escape for me.

[GoTribe!!!]

I cant wait for tomorrow night. Driving down from Columbus. I haven't been to the Charleston Civic Center since WCW Souled Out '99

[DonrussDean]

The future Jade vs Kayla Rossi match is going to be great.. Kayla is a mini-Jade, but maybe be stronger.

[DonrussDean]

This has been a very weird Dynamite..

Not bad, just odd.

[cardcollector34]

Two (?) more matches for All Out:

Moxley v. Punk for title (unless they do it between now and then)
FTR/Wardlow v. Lethal/Singh/Dutt (????)

Guess this means no FTR for titles at All Out. Swerve and Lee vs. Acclaimed? Not sure who else would be in line for now.

[cardcollector34]

^^^

Wrong on above. Just announced Punk v Moxley next week.

Who does Punk face now?
