AEW Dynamite: Homecoming (Jan 10, 2024)
Daily´s Place, Jacksonville. Florida. 3,1k Tickets Sold. Road To Revolution
Hangman Page vs Claudio Castagnoli (****1/4) A match I have waited to see, two of the best wrestlers in the planet delivering in finally a opener with wrestling. Fantastic match AND great win for Hangman in his road to a World Championship match.
Preston Vance, Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland & Dustin Rhodes vs Gates Of Agony & Lance Archer (***1/4) Eventhough they missed Dustin move in the finish, a great party match as well of some just great wrestling where we can get some matches in the future. RIP Brodie Lee, we will always miss you.
Samoa Joe promo as the new AEW World Champion was fantastic, Hangman and Swerve delivered on the mic too and instantly making the main event feud a lot more interesting.
After Hangman promo we got one of the coolest shots AEW has ever done and to be fair one of the coolest things they have done with HOOK in a long time, hyped for the match and curious how they approach it.
Ricky Starks vs Sammy Guevara (**1/2) Whatever dude, this feud is just so filled with things I don´t like. Hopefully we get Aussie Open back soon because fuck, this reign has been dry and Jericho as a babyface has always been a concept I don´t really like.
Anna Jay, Kris Statlander, Willow Nightingale & Thunder Rosa vs Skye Blue, Ruby Soho, Saraya & Julia Hart (**1/4) Some good moments but yeah. The team of Willow, Kris and Rosa has some potential for some great matches.
Roderick Strong vs Bryan Keith (***) Short and sweet little match here. Curious to see what Undisputed will do although as a concept is interesting because the leader is injured.
Sting & Darby Allin vs Powerhouse Hobbs & Konosuke Takeshita (****) This is why Sting AEW run has been so succesful not only econmically but as well on just delivering tremendous programming. FANTASTIC show.
Rating of the Show: 8/10
This was almost a 10, just memorable TV wrestling. Opener straight to fantastic action with great multiman party match as well of finally a serious and great AEW World Championship segment delivering the goods for all involved. Steve Borden “Sting” is one of the greatest TV characters of all time and he DESERVES 20,000 people in Greensboro Coliseum for his final match that might be a tag match with his friend Darby Allin vs the best tag team of the 2010s in america. To end this review, Daily´s Place again was a hot crowd, just positive vibes al around.
