Well, I had a couple of days off from work so I decided to wait before reviewing all of the things I missed in wrestling. So here we go, let’s play catch up so that we can enjoy a little bit of wrestling and banter, for all two of you readers.
Blackpool Combat Club defeated The Lucha Brothers and
Bandido
There’s a lot of trios matches in AEW, which I don’t mind,
but it is apparent that they really like them. Not only that, we got some
luchadors up front, which is always cool in my book. El Chapulin lives with the
awesome outfit from one of the lucha guys, Bandido. A fun opener with a lot of
back and forth action, and some great tags. This was a lot of fun with some
great high flying moves, and some reversals from the Blackpool Combat Club.
Smart moves, psychology was there, and well, the BCC just gets the win, but it
wasn’t a pushover matchup in any way. Fun is how I’d describe this one, as the
crowd was into it as well as I was.
Jay White and Juice Robinson came out, and I was falling
asleep so this was meh, just an interview segment. It’s ok I guess. FTR came
out and the four men started to brawl, and set up a match I’m sure, but I was
so tired that this wasn’t that grand for me. I’m sorry, I just think this will
lead to a great match next week with Ricky Starks.
Swerve Strickland defeated Big Bill and Trent Beretta in
a triple threat match
Big Bill was mopping up at one point, truly using his size
to throw the others around. I found it interesting overall, as he was being
booked like a larger wrestler, slow and methodical. Swerve and Trent didn’t
just roll over, mind you, but they were definitely having to deal with the
bigger man. I found that psychology to be good, and interesting overall. A
double suplex impressed me, and the crowd went wild too for it, making this
triple threat a lot of fun to watch. Swerve would get the pinfall after some
nice counters, and seizing the victory with an interesting finisher and
crucifix pin. Fun stuff.
Don Callis and Takeshita get booed out of the building, in a
promo. It wasn’t bad. There will be a match with Kenny Omega I’m sure.
Darby Allin and Orange Cassidy defeated Gates of Agony in
a tag match
The team of Gates of Agony had this match sewn up for the
most part. They threw around their opponents left to right, and then some. I
couldn’t believe how much attention was paid to the beatdown that was going on.
Cassidy and Allin scored a pinfall after the coffin drop, and some previous
fast offense. However, the Gates of Agony delivered a beat down throughout, and
I was personally impressed with how it went down. It was a fun match.
Sting came down with a bat, and the crowd went nuts.
Kris Statlander defeated Nyla Rose in the AEW Women’s
Title match
I gotta admit, the women’s division in AEW impresses a lot.
This was a hard hitting match, and both women put in some work, getting some
hits in and moves that you don’t usually see with women’s wrestling under 5
minutes ala WWE sometimes. I found this to be great fun, with Statlander
escaping, because Nyla Rose is no joke as a competitor. A good back and forth match,
with some nice maneuvers. I liked it a lot. A 450 splash and Statlander got the
victory, in a hard hitting match.
Adam Cole and Dr. Britt Baker defeated Chris Jericho and
Saraya in a mixed tag team match
A nice back and forth match here. Saraya wrestling is cool,
and Britt Baker is always fun to watch too. Jericho and Cole hit each other
hard, with some heavy chops, and great overall back and forth. Baker even got
some offense on Jericho! That was fun to see, and the crowd was all over it.
Cole and Baker would get the win, but it was not an easy battle, there was a
good amount of back and forth here.
Overall thoughts
A good night of Dynamite if you ask me. It had a little bit
of everything you could ask for in a wrestling show. It had a lot of fun, and
some good wrestling. They also announced some fun matches for next week as
well. This was just a fun night of wrestling, and definitely had me enjoying
every bout.
