Here we go!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time for the go home show for All In!\u00a0\u00a0Sorry I was not able to do a H&amp;M last week as I was dealing with a true \u201cold person\u201d ailment of shingles. Here\u2019s some advice: Don\u2019t get shingles!\u00a0\u00a0It sucks.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, my main point from last week\u2019s show was that die hard fans like myself likely loved the episode and those more casual, or those on the fence on ordering the PPV, needed a big moment or two to really hype the show this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what I\u2019m hoping for this Dynamite. I can\u2019t wait for All-In and I am confident it will be amazing, but in order to sell some last minute tickets or get some last minute PPV buys, it needs a big moment or two. Let\u2019s see if they came through.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>HITS<\/h3>\n<p><strong>TONI AND MERCEDES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This feud needed a solid moment and I think we got one. Mercedes continued to have a better-than-usual promo.\u00a0\u00a0She\u2019s been very good the past few weeks.\u00a0\u00a0Toni just brings something unique that stands out in a compelling way.<\/p>\n<p>I received a text from a friend saying \u201cToni is the absolute best.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0That\u2019s from a casual AEW fan, so I know she provides something special that fans can get behind.<\/p>\n<p>The promo was good, but I think we all know the match is going to be great!<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3789660594\" 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>MJF AND BRISCOE\u2019S TALKY-TALK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was interesting to see two performers who are so entirely different in every way show that you can be equally effective in total audience control. These two crushed it and the crowd was loving every second.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Briscoe is real. That\u2019s why the fans get behind him. He is so much better on the mic than I ever gave him credit for because nothing ever seems scripted. It never sounds rehearsed. It\u2019s from the heart.<\/p>\n<p>Max stayed consistent. He has always praised Jay Briscoe and insulted Mark. He knew exactly what would get Mark upset and then ran. This was a cookie-cutter segment to get you fired up for their encounter on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Briscoe\u2019s follow-up backstage with an eruption of gibberish was pure awesomeness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>QUICK HITS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022Brody King &amp; Bandido vs. Konisuke Takeshita &amp; Kyle Fletcher was a both a great match that had the fans fully invested and a preview of sorts for the ROH main event Friday night. The fans were out of their seats for a bunch of spots. This was a solid go-home show tag match.\u00a0\u00a0Brody needs a real push!<\/p>\n<p>\u2022Exceptional video package on the Kenny Omega-Kazuchika Okada match. It was a perfect blend of history and present day to put the finishing touches on the build to what should be an epic battle. Despite being older, I see them giving everything they have in this one &#8211; and that makes the fans the winners!<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3683987434\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\u2022The main event served its purpose. Everyone got a taste of what is to come on Saturday. Hangman Page got the better of Mox eventually. Swerve Strickland showed up to ruin the Bucks\u2019 night but did not acknowledge Hangman. Will he at the PPV?\u00a0\u00a0The Ops will take on the Riders plus Gabe Kidd it seems.<\/p>\n<p><em>ARTICLE CONTINUED BELOW&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Check out the latest episode of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Post-show covering the latest episode of Dynamite: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/aew-dynamite-post-show-7-9-keller-lansdell-on-final-all-in-hype-incl-fork-lift-storm-mercedes-talky-talk-okada-omega-video-more--66922724\">CLICK HERE<\/a> (or search \u201cwade Keller\u201d on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or any other iOS or Android app to subscribe free)<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"AEW DYNAMITE POST-SHOW (7\/9): Keller &amp; Lansdell on final All In hype incl. fork lift, Storm-Mercedes, Talky Talk, Okada-Omega video, more\" src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/player?episode_id=66922724&amp;theme=light&amp;playlist=false&amp;playlist-continuous=false&amp;chapters-image=true&amp;episode_image_position=right&amp;hide-logo=false&amp;hide-likes=false&amp;hide-comments=false&amp;hide-sharing=false&amp;hide-download=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200px\" frameborder=\"0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>MISSES<\/h3>\n<p><strong>WHERE WAS MY MOMENT?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, my fears came true. I\u2019m not sure why week after week leading up to this amazing event that they left so much on the table when you want casual fans to opt out of watching a free albeit less exciting event to pay $50 to see All In.<\/p>\n<p>Where was the \u201chistory of the Death Riders\u201d?\u00a0\u00a0Where was Cope?\u00a0\u00a0Where was Darby? Where was Eddie Kingston? Where was Bryan Danielson or Sting?<\/p>\n<p>Did we need a two-segment match with Ricochet vs. Blake Christian?\u00a0\u00a0Sure, it was good, but you could have used that time more wisely to hype All In.<\/p>\n<p>Did we need a four-way sloppy-at-times women\u2019s match for the #2 spot in the gauntlet that we could have gotten last week? More time that could have been used to hype the show.\u00a0\u00a0(By the way, I still know very little about Megan Bayne other than she is tall and strong.)<\/p>\n<p>Did we need Samoa Joe vs. Wheeler Yuta?\u00a0\u00a0Fine match, but on this show?<\/p>\n<p>Again, I have no doubt the PPV will be great and perhaps have many if not all of those returnees mentioned above, but this was a major missed opportunity that could have sold more tickets and PPVs.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to check out the weekly free podcast I&#8217;m part of, &#8220;The All Elite Conversation Club&#8221; that typically drops on Fridays the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/podcast\/pwtorch-dailycast--3276210\">PWTorch Dailycast lineup<\/a>.
