Let\u2019s take a stroll down memory lane and relive some of the madness.<\/p>\n<p>-A really classy move on the part of Tony Khan and AEW to kick off the show with an entrance for Jim Ross. He deserves it and the announcement of his cancer being in remission was a pleasant one.<\/p>\n<p>-The opener was a signature, massive, AEW tag affair with some wild action. The match also effectively setup the babyface vs. babyface encounter between Jurassic Express and Lucha Brothers for the tag team titles. Win, win.<\/p>\n<p>-Ya know, nothing wrong with the trios tag that was on next, but it was very similar to the first bout in terms of action. The Jericho surprise was effective, but late given all the damage Kingston had taken before the save. Kingston vs. Jericho? Intriguing, yes, but is it smart given their both good guys? At this point, I just don\u2019t think the AEW audience wants to boo either guy.<\/p>\n<p>-One of the strengths that MJF possesses with promos is the ability to weave so much together and make it all sound logical. On this show, he declared his quest for the AEW World Championship, set the hook for a potential TNT title run, fanned the flames of his feud with C.M. Punk, and maintained the slow boil of his impending breakdown with Wardlow. That\u2019s a lot of material, but it all fit together nicely and with his rotten character on display.<\/p>\n<p>-The Wardlow beatdowns have been fun. When he snaps on MJF, it\u2019ll be a thing.<\/p>\n<p>-I\u2019m torn about the Adam Cole and Kyle O\u2019Reilly interaction. We\u2019ll have to see where they go, but on one hand, my hats off to them for maintaining their story together outside of NXT. At the same time, to already have friction together in the middle of friction already established against Cole\u2019s other buddies in The Young Bucks, leaves everyone in a shade of gray position character-wise. I\u2019d just like to see these guys be wrestling stars for a bit before going back into a chapter book-esque story riddled with hit and miss nuance.<\/p>\n<p>-Well, a Brandi Rhodes and Dan Lambert throwdown wasn\u2019t on my Dynamite bingo card. You? This was too much. Nobody buys what Brandi is selling in that role and makes Dan Lambert weak as a heel because much of the audience agrees with him. That\u2019s the story of the Rhodes\u2019 2021 \u2013 just too much.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2726838387\" 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>-I like Jade Cargill making it to the TBS Tournament finals. It\u2019s a nice notch on her career belt, even if she doesn\u2019t win and my money is on Ruby Soho holding the belt first. Cargill got some much needed in-ring reps against top talent during the tournament, which will go a long way in helping her develop into what AEW hopes she can be.<\/p>\n<p>-Mercedes Martinez is a great get for AEW. She won\u2019t be someone you build the women\u2019s division around, but is a top tier enhancement act with credibility that can help get others over in a meaningful way. Someone like Tay Conti is going to learn a ton from Martinez.<\/p>\n<p>-Fun seeing C.M. Punk in the middle of Daily\u2019s Place. That arena is a staple of AEW\u2019s history and their biggest star standing there was a cool visual.<\/p>\n<p>-Easy does it Brian Pillman Jr. That\u2019s a lot of yelling, sir. Look, he has a lot to be mad about, but the emotion behind it felt inauthentic and put on. He\u2019s still a green act, but needs to find his voice and this wasn\u2019t the right tone or touch.<\/p>\n<p>-A really good main event to put a bow on Dynamite\u2019s TNT run. Wild to see Adam Cole, Kyle O\u2019Reilly, and Bobby Fish standing in the ring for it as they were central figures in the war with Dynamite when it started and they were in NXT. Such is life in wrestling these days.<\/p>\n<p>-No angle for Danielson vs. Page 2? The video package was very well done, but I was expecting more of a hard sell on that match and the move to TBS. We\u2019ll see how ratings respond.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2021\/12\/29\/heydorns-nxt-2-0-receipt-12-28-less-is-more-with-final-hype-for-ciampa-vs-breakker-at-new-years-evil\/\">HEYDORN\u2019S NXT 2.0 RECEIPT 12\/28: Less is more with final hype for Ciampa vs. Breakker at New Year\u2019s Evil<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-326684748\"><div id=\"pwtor-785485155\"><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>This week\u2019s episode of AEW Dynamite has wrapped.
