•Roderick Strong calls out Velveteen Dream – HIT: Last week, Dream returned to NXT after a few months away after an injury. When he returned, he came back with Strong’s family painted onto his trunks […]
•DAWSONS (W/POPE) VS. THE BOUNCERS (W/EDDIE KINGSTON) – HIT, SHOCKINGLY: I was all prepared to hate this match. Cowboy was doing his best Hangman impression while tag partner, Eli Drake, was on guest commentary, and […]
Opening Segment with Seth & Co. – HIT: This is a marginal Hit. Raw started off with The Messiah Complex talking about what happened last week. The mic work from Seth Rollins was strong, but […]
Broserweights celebrate their victory – HIT : I continue to love every second that we see this pair on our screens. From their brilliant back and forth banter to their “Bro-mobile”, they are pure gold. […]
The Dirt Sheet – MISS: I thought re-teaming John Morrison with The Miz would be good for Miz who was floundering as a babyface after (really starting before) his feud with The Fiend. Instead, it […]
•Jon Moxley vs. Ortiz – HIT: This was one of those matches that felt like it went about 4 or 5 minutes when in reality it took up the first 15-20 minutes of Dynamite. Jon Moxley […]
Randy Orton – HIT: This was a good way to follow up on the major heat generating angle that closed out last week’s Raw. Randy Orton was great here in selling the fact that he […]
Overall – HIT: This episode easily could have been a PUSH or a MISS if it weren’t for a very good match between TJP and Hijo del Vikingo. Most of the segments and matches felt […]
OPENING MONTAGE – MISS: They’ve finally updated the video package that highlights the current roster and champions, but now we’re using Pantera?! No more Dokken?! No more “Into the Fire”?! Ladies, gentlemen, fellow friends beyond […]
Opening Segment – MISS: Ugh. Smackdown and Raw couldn’t be more different right now. I look forward to Raw every week, while dreading Smackdown. This opening segment compares so unfavorably to the start of Raw. […]
•Chris Jericho-Jon Moxley Promo – HIT: The crowd was hot for Jon Moxley, but throughout the night they were a bit different than the usual AEW crowd. Typically, AEW fans are hot for the majority of […]
•Beth Phoenix Sells Edge’s “Injury” – HIT: The announcers kicked off the show with Mauro welcoming Beth Phoenix to the booth after a crazy Rumble weekend for her family. She somberly said that Randy Orton […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: PWTorch is looking for a new Impact Wrestling TV reporter. If you are interested, and able to write a report and submit it the night the show premieres, please let me know: kellerwade@pwtorch.com. […]
•OPENING MONTAGE – HIT: Scurll is here to cause a spot of bother and challenge for the NWA World’s Heavyweight Championship, but due to Flip Gordon’s loss at Hard Times to Nick Aldis, the champ […]
The Announcers – MISS: I was disappointed to see Raw start off with Tom Phillips on instead of Vic Joseph. I assume if this was just a one week thing because of illness or something, […]
•TV TITLE FIRST ROUND: TREVOR MURDOCH VS. QUESTION MARK – HIT: Keeping these TVtitle matches to the 6:05 time limit (outside of the final, at least) was key to making the show feel shorter and […]
Preshow, Mia Yim vs. Kay Lee Ray – MISS: I think that this is where this match probably belonged. Going into the match, it was relatively devoid of heat. Mia Yim and Kay Lee Ray […]
•Overall – HIT: This show, coming to us from Mexico City, Mexico, set up a few new programs and heated up some existing ones. I can’t believe I’m saying that I like what they are […]
AEW DYNAMITE TV REPORT JANUARY 22, 2020 NASSAU, BAHAMAS ON NORWEGIAN PEARL – JERICHO CRUISE AIRED ON TAPE DELAY ON TNT •Kenny Omega & Hangman Page vs. SCU – HIT: What a great atmosphere for wrestling. On […]
•DUSTY CLASSIC SEMI-FINAL – Undisputed Era (Kyle O’Reilly & Bobby Fish) vs. Grizzled Young Veterans (Zach Gibson & James Drake) – HIT : Before the match began, Adam Cole rushed the announce table and told […]
FINALLY! A show where I don’t need to discuss the opening montage, so let’s get into this 90 minute edition, shall we? •ROBERT GIBSON W/ MARQUEZ – MISS: This was 90-120 seconds of nothing. Sadly, […]
Opening Segment – HIT: Raw got off to a good start with Seth Rollins and the Messiah Complex (that’s what I’m calling their group until they get an official name) talking about Buddy Murphy joining […]
Overall – PUSH: This episode is eminently skippable as it is mostly a Hard to Kill PPV recap and fallout show, with some “b-side” matches mixed in to round things out. The highlight is the […]
Overall – HIT: The Impact wrestlers really came to play in this joint show with River City Wrestling, bringing more action than I anticipated for an Impact Wrestling special. First, there is the venue. It […]
