Being that Hobbs and Brian Cage are two massive beings, I thought this match would be much shorter, but in that time Hobbs was afforded a lot of offense. Cage took the win in the end, but Hobbs put up enough of a performance to be recruited by Taz. Before Hobbs could answer, Darby Allin cleared the ring. Being Hobbs first major singles match, I wasn\u2019t expecting a win here, but he showed enough for viewers to believe that there is more coming from him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022FTR vs. TH2 &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Overall another good showing for FTR, but not without a few hiccups. Jack Evans who is typically spot on for most of his matches had a number of botches that distracted from the story of the match. FTR walked away with a mostly clean win before The Young Bucks (including Nick Jackson) appeared on the big screen. They were watching FTR on a TV and complimenting them. Once they noticed the cameraman they superkicked them. Then suddenly a photoshopped graphic of FTR in hot dog suits appeared on the screen. The Best Friends came out and confronted FTR for calling them comedy backyard wrestlers. They called FTR weenies and announced that Tony Khan told them they would be receiving a title match on next week\u2019s show. While I\u2019m not in favor of FTR being a part of shenanigans, this is the Best Friends getting back at FTR for the insult that they threw at them in the first place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022Cody vs. Mr. Brodie Lee &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An excellent television bloodbath. In Cody\u2019s first return match, he recaptured the TNT Championship in one of the most gory and grueling TV matches in recent memory. Brodie Lee also brought the intensity needed and proved again that he can step up in those high-profile matches. AEW made the match feel special by bringing in Greg Valentine and reminding the audience of his famous dog collar match against Roddy Piper. After the match, The Nightmare Family surrounded a worn down Cody as he cut a promo alongside Tony Schiavone. It seemed for a moment there was a chance that Cody would turn on the family before emotionally assuring the fans he was not going to turn on them despite his change in appearance. Schiavone asked Cody who he would face next then Orange Cassidy came out and Cody gave him a thumbs up confirming the match for next week. Cody isn\u2019t typically a part of comedy matches, but Cassidy has evolved into a more dynamic character that allows for their match to go in multiple directions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022Big Swole vs. Serena Deeb &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Solid match with a few blips here and there. Big Swole still has a good presence about her while Serena Deeb has consistently had quality matches. The smart strategy going forward is going to be to continue to pairing up young talent with experienced veterans to get them that ring time and experience under their belt.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2607992958\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>\u2022Jon Moxley &#8211; Lance Archer Promos &#8211; HIT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These guys continue to put great stuff together to build up this match. One of AEW\u2019s hidden strengths is when they put together intense pre-tape promos. It\u2019s a great platform for characters to show more about themselves and their motivations outside the confines of Daily\u2019s Place. They have a lot of material to work with including referencing their major match at the Tokyo Dome earlier this year. Despite the delay, this program hasn\u2019t skipped a beat and hopefully Lance Archer is 100% after his battle with COVID.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022Chris Jericho &amp; Jake Hager vs. Serpentico &amp; Dr. Luther &#8211; MISS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Throughout the night, AEW played clips from celebrities congratulating Chris Jericho on 30 years in the business. Much of the people featured were friends of Jericho inside and outside of wrestling. There were a number of surprises including Ultimo Dragon and Hiroshi Tanahashi. The appearance of Tanahashi with the New Japan Pro-Wrestling logo is sure to spark rampant speculation regarding a partnership. Other celebrities included Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley of Kiss, Dennis Miller, Kevin Smith, and many more. Jericho was in more of a face role tonight which made sense given that it was a celebration of his career. He tagged with Jake Hager again to take on a rival Dr. Luther who has been described as a long-time rival as well as Serpentico. The match didn\u2019t live up to Dynamite main event standards with Jericho carrying most of the match and Luther being quite limited at this point in his career.<\/p>\n<p>After the match, Jericho celebrated with the Inner Circle before being interrupted by MJF. MJF gifted Jericho a framed portrait of himself and unveiled a clown. Jericho smashed the portrait over the clown\u2019s head then teased descension with MJF before embracing each other. The rest of the heel roster filled the ring while credits rolled with Jeircho being the name for each role. A cute way to end Dynamite, but not the tone the show should be going for. It feels like there are some wrestlers like Jon Moxley and Cody who are almost always in serious programs while others like MJF, Jericho, and The Young Bucks dip more into the comedic aspects. I\u2019d like to see a more consistent tone, but it seems like AEW feels there is an audience who want more \u201csports entertainment\u201d. Comedy in wrestling can be good, but it needs to be selective and not the overarching story. Otherwise, why watch simulated combat when nobody on screen takes it seriously.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/10\/07\/10-7-aew-dynamite-tv-report-kellers-report-on-brodie-lee-vs-cody-in-dog-collar-match-jerichos-30th-anniversary-jericho-hager-vs-luther-serpentico-hobbs-vs-cage\/\">10\/7 AEW DYNAMITE TV REPORT: Keller\u2019s report on Brodie Lee vs. Cody in Dog Collar match, Jericho\u2019s 30th Anniversary, Jericho &amp; Hager vs. Luther &amp; Serpentico, Hobbs vs. Cage<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3388049180\"><div id=\"pwtor-4061183563\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>\u2022Brian Cage vs. Will Hobbs &#8211; HIT Will Hobbs delivered in his first major match.
