All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite Discussion Thread

That ending was straight out of the TNA first episode on Spike and the ending of the Monday night impact experiment.

Anytime you have an over superstar it's a win. I have zero idea what you're even babbling about right now.

As for TNA, Impact would love to go back to the days they had Christian and Sting and drew 1.1s on Spike.

I give all that credit to Samoa Joe and AJ Styles, Christian made himself a star in TNA though

My drunk ass quoted myself in a comment, that's a first

Well it was a fun time fellas. I'd love to see the good times continue with next week's episode. I'll be here.

 

[Jimmy King]

That was a pretty solid show all around. I really liked Hangman vs PAC, Riho vs Nyla was fun too and that main event was also fun.

I loved the Moxley run in and brawl with Omega, I loved Kenny showing signs of The Cleaner when he grabbed the mop. The ending angle was fun too, I always liked Swagger so I’m happy to see him back in wrestling.

2-0 baby. Better than ol' glass jaw Lesnar.

Every guy that Lesnar beat, including the jobber he beat in Japan would kill Swagger. Cain got Lesnar after a life threatening surgery. That fight happens two years earlier, Brock wins. No one could have beaten Overeem back in them days, except the drug screenings..... finally.

Well, I am a Hulkamaniac, especially since he triggers Soy Boys and Land Whales.

 

[Jimmy King]

I am a bit bummed there was no Orange Cassidy, Joey Janela, or Jurassic Express but I saw that the latter and OC appeared in the dark match after the show

AEW did the same number as NXTs debut......NXT had like 800k this week.......split the audience.

Like I said it would.

 

[Hoss]

I was a but surprised to see AEW top a million viewers, just because I had tried to temper my expectations. 1.4M is a pretty damn good figure, even if you acknowledge it's a debut show and that viewership is more than likely going to recede as the weeks pass and the shiny new toy effect wears off. I reckon there's no doubt that Tony Khan, The Elite and TNT are pretty happy with that.

 

[Deezy]

Add it with NXT and it's still a bad raw rating.

Been telling people the rasslin bubble buzz don't mean a thing.

 

[Apoho Creed]

No shock to see the high number for AEW Dynamite on Night One they put alot of money and effort to grab people's attention for it. Their were some good things I saw and some okay none of that, but the Company and it's talent has a great future ahead of them.

Excellent debut. Glad i was watching on Fite, no commercials and you get to see what they do during breaks.

Really liked how they introduced Kenny Omega to the general audience and his connection to Riho. How they made Cody look like a sympathetic babyface. Amazing shot when Kenny realizes that Mox was in the ring behind him. Hate when wrestlers play stupid. Mox yelling SAY SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING after table spot. This feud will be great. Does Kenny screw him in his match next week?

women's match really delivered. Especially the last few minutes. Great surprising finish

Loved the ending brawl. Create an angle to create buzz and have them tune in next week. Factions are always fun. It also tied into why Sammy went for handshake earlier in the night. Good shit.


Swagger's past is basically irrelevant. They don't need him to be more than a mid-card heel/monster. What a reaction, even he was stunned

Oh and Tony S was fantastic.
