Given the conditions, last week\u2019s show was tremendous&#8211;giving us the debut of Matt Hardy and Brodie Lee (f\/k\/a Luke Harper), as well as four pretty good matches. My only complaints revolved around COVID-19 safety concerns (unnecessary personnel, MJF literally spitting in Tony Schiavone\u2019s face), and my disappointment over not getting to experience the pop that Brodie, Matt, and Vanguard One would\u2019ve caused.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">AEW made the right decision postponing the Blood and Guts match, but hopefully this week will see a more conscientious effort to protect the older members of the roster. There is absolutely no reason for JR, Jake Roberts, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, and Tony Schiavone to all be involved. It looks like JR will be out this week, and Arn and Tully can both stay home with zero impact on storylines or the product. If we absolutely have to have Tony and Jake, I hope that we\u2019ll at least see them practicing responsible social distancing.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1252989789\" 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 dir=\"ltr\">Tonight\u2019s show is looking pretty good, but I\u2019m most excited to see Kenny Omega defend the Mega Campe\u00f3n Championship against Sammy Guevara. The title was defended once before on Dark, but we don\u2019t hear too much about AEW\u2019s partnership with Mexico\u2019s Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide. It\u2019s understandable that AEW doesn\u2019t seem interested in reminding us that Kenny is another promotion\u2019s world champion, but I\u2019d love to see more of a crossover and don\u2019t think that the AEW Championship is really devalued by acknowledging it.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The other big draw for me is Matt Hardy and Chris Jericho meeting face to face. Both are fantastic performers and I look forward to their shenanigans.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">All in all, AEW is doing a great job! It\u2019s a scary time, and it is comforting to still have wrestling. That being said, the safety of the performers and crew needs to always come first, and I trust that the back office will be able to handle the difficult times and hard decisions that lie ahead.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>RECOMMENDED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/03\/24\/3-24-aew-dark-tv-report-shawn-spears-robert-anthony-vs-scu-cabana-vs-brandon-cutler-janela-kiss-vs-hollis-reed-hager-vs-alonzo-natural-nightmares\/\">3\/24 AEW DARK TV REPORT: Shawn Spears &amp; Robert Anthony vs. SCU, Cabana vs. Brandon Cutler, Janela &amp; Kiss vs. Hollis &amp; Reed, Hager vs. Alonzo, Natural Nightmares<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"cjmmp\" data-offset-key=\"d9pac-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"d9pac-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"d9pac-0-0\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"cjmmp\" data-offset-key=\"ehgoa-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"ehgoa-0-0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-847986800\"><div id=\"pwtor-3771506018\"><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>AEW DYNAMITE PRIMER MARCH 25, 2020 JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA\u00a0 AT DAILY\u2019S PLACE AIRS ON TNT, 8:00 PM EST BY JOSHUA CHAMBERS (@josh_chambers), PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR ARENA This week\u2019s Dynamite will emanate from Daily\u2019s Place in Jacksonville, Florida. <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/03\/25\/3-25-aew-dynamite-primer-matt-hardy-and-chris-jericho-go-face-to-face-cody-vs-jimmy-havoc-luchasaurus-vs-wardlow-omega-vs-guevara-best-friends-vs-lucha-bros-cody-with-schiavone-on-commentar\/\" title=\"3\/25 AEW DYNAMITE PRIMER: Matt Hardy and Chris Jericho go face-to-face, Cody vs. Jimmy Havoc, Luchasaurus vs. Wardlow, Omega vs. Guevara, Best Friends vs. Lucha Bros., Cody with Schiavone on commentary\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":52290,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6431,6163,2,52,27,5893],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-95131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aew-dynamite-primer","category-aew-news","category-prowrestlingnews","category-opnionandanalysis","category-specialists","category-tvprimers"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/12\/HardyMatt_TeschJoel_3x2_600.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=95131"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95131\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":95133,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95131\/revisions\/95133"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52290"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=95131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=95131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=95131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
