Biased Thoughts: AEW Dynamite #197
SaskTel Centre, Saskatoon. Canada. 3,2k Tickets Sold. July 12th 2023
Chris Jericho vs Komander (***1/2) Really fun match and the finish was really creative.
Orange Cassidy & Darby Allin vs Sammy Guevara & Daniel García (***1/2) Some fina action here, Swerve interference will be interesting to see how Nick Wayne appoaches their match in some minutes. Interesting booking.
Adam Cole & MJF vs Big Bill & Brian Cage (***3/4) What a trmendous old school match, the bodyslam was stupidly over and there´s a charm with this Cole & MJF tag team, can´t wait to see what will be the final.
Skye Blue vs Ruby Soho in the Semi Finals of The Owen Hart Cup (NR) I couldn´t watch it because the discord stream didn´t want to watch the match LMAO. I heard good things though.
Swerve Strickland vs Nick Wayne (****) What a great debu for young Nick Wayne, 18 years old and already in TV having great matches, this will be a long term arc between Swerve, Darby, Nick Wayne and maybe even Keith Lee.
The main event of the show was phenomenal, Kota Ibushi and PAC are top tier wrestlers and with enough backstory to understand why they will go to war next week in Boston, AEW is awesome.
Rating of the Show: 7.5/10
This show had all of modern AEW in two hours, what´s good and what´s bad. The last 20 minutes were amazing as well of the MJF & Adam Cole tag match. I would like less skits and please, just put the QTV shit on Rampage, is simply not good. SUPER excited for next week bloodbath.
Extra Notes:
- KOTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA IBUSHIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!
- Nick Wayne will be great but I don´t exect a title win soon, I guess he will have a full long term arc before a big win.
- The AEW Canada tour should have had bigger attendance but they priced people out. Next time with better prices should be interesting, but yeah, this should have been done with more reasonable prices.
