Review Watch AEW Dynamite 9/13/23 13th September 2023 Online

Really wasn’t sure how this Dynamite would turn out but another amazing one after last week. Great pacing too.

– Loved the women’s 4-way. I understand it’s getting tired in that division but it was the best of the best from that division. Really fun to watch. Loved seeing Shida hype up a crowd and glad Toni won. Good development and time placement too. Need to see more of that direction.

– Really loved the Sammy/Jericho promo. Actually felt really genuine and built up the match incredibly well. I hope it’s the moment Sammy needs to take him to the next level.

– How is Hangman so constantly great. May have been the match of the night for me and him and Swerve are gold.

This week we had both Don Callis threaten to tear out Kenny Omega’s heart by going after Ibushi and Samoa Joe saying he’s going to take everything from MJF while choking out Adam Cole.

Pretty good stuff again, can’t wait for Swerve v Hangman

Christian Cage

Toni Storm

Roderick Strong

Enjoyable show, maaaan. I dunno, I come to this sub and its all AEW death watching and schadenfreude lol. I’m out here enjoying the hell out of the majority of the weekly product. And that which I don’t enjoy wouldn’t exactly qualify as terrible. There’s several stories and wrestlers cooking right now, and that’s where my focus is.

lol Tomorrow I suspect Dynamite will NOT do better than NXT, and people will still be focused on whether or not touting paid attendance over turnstile attendance is duplicitous or not.

I assume the OC and Hook interaction was setting something up, right?

I hope them stretching the MJF/Cole storyline out and interupting it with a Joe sidequest doesn’t hurt them in the long run by making people forget what was happening in the first place. Those segments were legitamate draws and the question of who was going to turn on who seems to have fallen by the wayside since Wembley.

Feeling like the happiest Toni Storm and Roddy Strong fan in the world right now

I’m continually surprised by how well he and Luchasaurus work together.

Other than the Sammy/Jericho stuff, I am interested in all the stories that were being told tonight. One of their best episodes in a while imo.

I’m excited to see Jade back in action. She adds star power to the division that no one else has.

I appreciate Toni finally getting some shine, but man I am sick of the Outcasts/Originals constant matches. Wrap it up and let Toni interact with the rest of the roster. Loved her trying to take the spotlight away from Nyla, let them have a little feud!

I think he needs to actually recruit someone else to his team though.

There’s so much good stuff going on and every episode delivers.

Garbage crowd!

Main event was wildly entertaining. Taven & Bennett are S-tier stooges

Am I crazy or does HOOK have the right kind of vibe to join the best friends?

Pulled up the youtube clip of the womens 4 way and the first thing that happens is the camera zooms in on Shida as she’s talking to Toni in the corner.

OC and Hook, Takeshita and Ibushi, and what’s going on with Garcia and Callis are super interesting plus this Hangman and Swerve feud is heating up nicely, would love to see this go on after wrestledream

It’s pretty cool that Roddy finally is having a big storyline that he caused rather than him doing what he did in NXT where he joined the Undisputed Era storyline for the ride.

Honestly, the more Roddy kept yelling “ADAAM!!”, while he was stretchered out, the funnier it got.

Reminds me of the glory days of WCW where they give out PPV quality matches on TV.

Joe and Roderick Strong having a very good match in 2023 is so cool

First time I’ve ever found Roderick Strong entertaining is this storyline. Not saying he’s ever been bad, just felt like the definition of average.

Also if Toni Storm wasn’t already a 2-time champion I could easily see her winning it again at Grand Slam. On the other hand she is killing it with the character work atm so another big loss and who knows what the hell she is going to do.

Jade vs Stat at Rampage was lit. Don’t miss it.

I absolutely love how the BCC are both heels and babyfaces at the same time. They work as faces vs. Starks/Big Bill, and the moment after are acting like heels vs. Penta/Rey/Eddie.

I’m just now realizing, Wardlow may make his return during the MJF/Joe match.

Kinda rooting for a Joe win. AEW world title changes always seem to be pretty heavily telegraphed. It would be nice to have a surprise change. And it would make sense – does anyone really think MJF could beat Joe in a real fight? MJF could refuse to cheat and that costs him the match or something.

Why is Christian so cool? Why is Samoa Joe the scariest mfer in wrestling? Why is MJF learning math from Scott Steiner? Why is Roderick Strong so entertaining?

Is Samoa Joe losing weight? He seems smaller than when he left WWE.

Toni Storm serving looks as always
