AEW Dynamite July 16, 2025 - Hangman Page, Mark Briscoe, & Powerhouse Hobbs vs the Death Riders

[Jimmy King]

Pretty solid show, that all star tag match with The Bucks was fun stuff and their entrance and being humiliated was funny. The women’s match good too as well as the main event and Fletcher vs Dorada.

Only thing I didn’t like was the Okada theme change. It still has the coin drop but what follows after that is so jarring to me and doesn’t fit at all. I blame Don Callis, that goober ruins everything.

I really liked the theme once it got going but even after he won the riff right after the coin drop still felt super jarring to me lol it's like just that first 5-10 seconds I'm going to need to get used to if I can, then it gets good

Time for Dynamite

...and first thing I wanna say is, this venue is awesome and incredibly fitting for the first Dynamite of this Hangman-Titlerun

 

[Loochblade]

I don't really know why they already doing a Trios match with Hanger and Mox involvement though... seems like TK booked this after he found one last small bag of coke after the All In weekend.

 

[Loochblade]

Man, this Hangman promo slaps like a motherfucker

 

[Loochblade]

Holy shit... even Liger came to Chicago for this one

"I am the champion of the fucking world."

Oh fuckin' yes, you fuckin' are, cowboy.

 

[Loochblade]

Fletcher v Dorada... nice opener

 

[Loochblade]

Young Bucks and Don Callis... oh boy, if that's not intriguing... especially if Mox and the Death Riders hating on them now

 

[Loochblade]

And man... that look Lashley gives MJF, when he starts yelling he's the best in the world...

 

[Loochblade]

That Young Bucks entrance

 

[Loochblade]

Will they or won't they do E&C v FTR...

 

[Loochblade]

Oh boy... they're doing Billie v Toni next week?

They sure are... and so are Kip and Nick.
