John Pollock and Wai Ting review AEW Dynamite from an empty Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Florida highlighted by the debut of Matt Hardy.
AEW followed suit with WWE by pressing ahead with AEW Dynamite closed to the public. The show was headlined by the Inner Circle vs. The Elite for the numbers advantage in Blood and Guts, the reveal of The Exalted One, The Lucha Bros. take on Best Friends, a vague description of the “Next Dynamite” and more.
While I don’t agree with John and Wai’s sentiment about the existence of a show like Dynamite tonight, John’s increasing level of frustration made me laugh. The culmination of this being the announcement of the lumberjack match and the creation of today’s episode title. I had to pause because I was laughing so much.
I really disagree with this notion that because either of us is uneasy with the shows to just not speak about it. The point of our show is to have that discussion - pros and cons. There is way too much “I disagree with you, go away” instead of discussing the points at hand - and I’m not directing this at you but rather an overall message.
People can say what they want about them going on with these shows, but that AEW show gave more positivity to this forum, than I have seen in weeks. That was the most fun I’ve had watching something, since all this shit started going down.
I hope that the AEW and WWE medical staff are up to date on screening for corvid-19. And with the shows being in one arena, it lessens the traveling needed. Just trying to look at some positives
