For his faults, he has handled tragedies well. When Brodie passed too.

They wrestled about 15 minsmatch should have been longer....couldnt they have given the main event an extra ten minutes? tk hould have put the jungleboy hook match on next week... so sick and tired of tk not being able to format a show properly and legit main events end up being rushed...you would think that after 3 years he would have it figured out by now.
Did you ever stop and think maybe Mark and lethal didn't want a long match that match was on point and a good tribute to Jay so stfumatch should have been longer....couldnt they have given the main event an extra ten minutes? tk hould have put the jungleboy hook match on next week... so sick and tired of tk not being able to format a show properly and legit main events end up being rushed...you would think that after 3 years he would have it figured out by now.
Jay Lethal was the right man for the job. The match and entire segment was excellent.
Tony’s such a sweetheart lol.
Man MJF as champ has just been the same ol song and dance so far with being very underwhelming. Nothing about this feud with him and Bryan has entertained me from the matches Bryan has had and MJF promos are even boring....Unfortunate
Good ending. RIP Jay.
I hope Lethal gets a title run in AEW. He’s been great since debuting. In the ring, on the mic, good segments, good matches. JJ makes it better. Loving this run for them.
Darby is great, Jericho sucks, nice to se some names in the women division, but Soho should not be going over Toni especially after she just turned heel WTF.
I can’t stand watching Bryan knowing he’s gona lose in the end and won’t beat MJF. Meh. he really just wants to wrestle with no responsibility. So annoying.

This was a great show. I like Darby Allin and Sting being his manager. Mark Briscoe and Jay Lethal had a great tribute match for Jay Briscoe. I want to see a match between Chris Jericho and Bryan Danielson.
MJF and Bryan's promos both hit the mark tonight, especially Bryan's, which invoked a lot of passion. The opener was decent and the right team won.
I would have much preferred the triple threat but Toni vs Soho wasn't bad.
Darby vs Buddy and Cage vs Bryan were both solid. The main event was very enjoyable and was a genuine feel-good moment. Mark Briscoe tore the house down.
Next week's card is super strong.
Overall: 7.5/10

Another great show. That main event was a beautiful tribute to Jay Briscoe. I kept wondering what emotions Mark must have been feeling as he wrestled. It must have been really tough. Kudos to Jay Lethal, too. I just hope we won’t have to see another tribute show again for a very long time.
Aside from the women’s stuff (I’m not buying this Toni heel at all), it was a solid show with an awesome main event.
This makes me sad and happy at the same time. There's something that touches the soul about Mark hugging everyone as Jay's face looks over the all of this.
Jay Lethal was so emotional before the Briscoe's music hit. Great match between Jay and Mark. The whole tribute to Jay was well done. Both the video earlier on and the match. Even seeing the wrestlers break character was great. Samoa Joe eager to give Mark a hug. I hardly listen to Jim Cornette because he is stuck in unconstructive negativity usually but listening to him even get emotional over Jay's death.... man. This really hit a lot of people in the wrestling world hard. RIP Jay Briscoe.
Enjoyed the Acclaimed/Gunns thing. Billy basically took over her job and she being over the top with the reactions was amusing.
Most of the rest of the matches were fine. Looks like Jungle Hook are staying together.
I am all for a babyface Adam Cole.
Timothy Thatcher, I was a fan of his in NXT and wondered where he ended up. Thatcher vs. a hurt Danielson is very interesting.

I skipped the opener. You knew le sex gods were winning. No need to watch
I skipped through Darby vs buddy. I can't stand buddy Matthews as anything but the cruisernator. Darby vs Joe's blow off should be a step up from their last match even though it is obvious Wardlow interferes cause Ohio
Jungle hook does nothing for me. Them wrestling the soft does even less.
Cage is trash. Bless Bryan for trying
Main event was perfect

Positives:
- Beautiful main event, all class and genuine feel-good moment
- Junglehook
- Ruby's promo piqued my interest, the women's division has my interest now more than ever
- Action Andretti looked like a bigger star this week, and Ricky reclaimed some lost momentum from that heelish promo 2 weeks ago. Entertaining opening match.
- They showed a quick replay after an ad (it flowed better) without overdoing it
- Family therapy was actually good as it was serious and planted the seeds for Billy Gunn to end up as the proud father when the Ass Boys win the titles AND for the whole group to stay together afterwards so you keep Billy with the Acclaimed, so lots of great outcomes were hinted at here (improved production too)
- New aesthetics still look good
- Sammy Guevara
- Adam Cole's excellent Cody Rhodes parody ❤
- Great in-ring action
- Hangman's promo (my fav... love his character and don't agree with the criticism)
- MJF promo again tells us why he's actually a babyface if you read between the lines, just as he's always done since the beginning. The most depth in a wrestling character ever.
Negatives:
- Very boring main event build for the PPV with these very boring Danielson exhibition matches. I literally didn't watch 20 minutes of Dynamite this week for the first time in... geez... probably 2 years? Maybe a year? I can't remember the last time I was so bored that I didn't even want to see the finish so I tuned out and didn't come back until I heard Ruby's promo (I watch on a laptop, so I could hear the audio from another tab)
- When Danielson appeared, I realised I didn't feel at all interested in whatever MJF might do later. The story is very very boring and I don't want to see another minute of it until a week before the PPV.
- Danielson should listen to the doctor and stop wrestling these very boring exhibition matches where the outcome doesn't even have a 0.0001% of being different to what everyone expects lol. The story is "let's completely remove any semblance of a story to he can just wrestle randoms for 2 months when the outcome has already been promised for the PPV"
MJF and Danielson are 2 guys who are both supposedly super creative, so I'm disappointed that this is the best they can do for a PPV main event with a 3-month build. It's the worst PPV main event build in AEW history so far, I'm not anticipating anything interesting to actually happen in this storyline for the next 6 weeks. I predict the crowd will turn on Danielson - they need to avoid putting him after a women's segment since the 9.30pm women's story encourages the crowd to boo ex-WWE wrestlers... sigh. Can't wait for Punk to return and conclude his epic story with MJF.

another week no wardlow. the burial of wardlow continues
I skipped past the Jericho stuff, so ready for him to get off my screen, I hope it happens sooner rather than later him and the JAS have become insufferable, Action Andretti does nothing for me, I love this serious version of Hangman, the Bryan exhibition matches are boring, Brian Cage is trash, Don't care about Ruby SoHo, the main event was perfect, RIP Jay.
This Danielson and MJF feud is ass.
Main event was nice.
