Biased Thoughts: AEW Dynamite #193
Capital One Arena, Washington. Washington DC. 5k Tickets Sold. June 14th 2023.
MJF vs Adam Cole in a AEW World Championship Eliminator match (****1/4) This was a tremendous 30 limit draw with very creative spots as well of sick sequences. Maybe they were stalling a bit to eat some minutes but this was great. The rematch should be great whenever that happens.
Sammy Guevara entered the ring and this segment was really good, fuel to Guevara to leave the JAS is an interesting storyline. Sting presence and that face off was phenomenal. Really good stuff as well this transition to the 4 man tag. Pretty good.
SANADA is doing an open challenge for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, I think Archer will be the one to challenge.
Orange Cassidy, Darby Allin, Keith Lee & Sting vs Mogul Embassy (***1/2) This was such a fun sprint, the Road To tag match formula rules when all the parts are great and this one ruled. Sting Beasting… Just another Wednesday.
Wardlow vs Jake Hager for the TNT Championship (**3/4) Had his moments but was too long and Wardlow is, I don´t know. The fire he had last year is off now. Arn was great with that bladejob though.
There was two announcements for next week, Orange Cassidy & Katsuyori Shibata vs Zack Sabre Jr & Daniel García, SANADA vs Jack Perry as well of the main event? of Forbidden Door MJF vs Hiroshi Tanahashi for the AEW World Championship. CAN´T WAIT.
Toni Storm vs Skye Blue for the AEW Women´s World Championship (***1/4) Very impressed with Skye Blue in this match, Toni was good and the spots with the spray can made me believe the nearfall, very good. Overdelivered.
HungBucks vs BCC (****1/4) Tremendous action all around, what I appreciate Hangman to add to this multiman tag matches is the stiffness and power moves he does as well mixed with some high flying.
Post-Match Angle (*****+) I think this angle come second from the best closing angle AEW has ever done. Excellent booking where characters of multiple storylines collided to give one of the best closing segments in AEW history. Absolutely Fantastic.
Rating of the Show: 9.5/10
One of the best AEW TV episodes EVER with an all timer closing angle with just something mediocre in the middle that was the Wardlow stuff (and even that had Arn Anderson giving a masterclass with the blade) Just PRO FUCKING WRESTLING.
Extra Notes:
- Wardlow doesn´t need the TNT Championship, I think the Championship could be better in someone like Jay White or Rush that can work and put over any of the babyfaces available.
- Jay White as the main Champion with the TNT Belt in Collision could be a good idea, specially if the feud vs Ricky Starks continues.
- Takeshita vs Omega should be one of the main matches at All In.
- Hangman Page vs MJF should be the AEW World Championship at All In.
- Adam Cole was ready to shut me the fuck up and I´m happy he did.
