AE Double Back - The AEW Dynamite Recap Show

Rating: 85% - Worth Watching

Is it weird to say an 85% rating feels low? There were so many AMAZING segments this week, it feels like we’re selling the show short. Come for Danielson/Fish, stay for cowboy shit and 40 year-old NYC metal scene references!

Look, if you bookend your show with an 8-man tag and an 8-man ladder match with all your best wrestlers, we’re gonna thumb it up. Sorry not sorry.

Okay, let’s just get this out of the way - most of the hosts are no fan of “Spanish Food” Sammy Guevara. And if you agree with us, this episode’s gonna be rough on you. We recommend pouring yourself a stiff one, settling in, and letting us guide you though it.

Rating: 92% - Must Watch

Two Must Watches in a row - it’s almost like AEW knows what it’s doing or something! Bookended by two AMAZING matches and only barely flagging in between, this is a hell of an episode from Arthur Ashe!

Rating: 92% Must Watch

Is this the first Must Watch of the new scoring system? A slew of short, fun promos made for a great rating this week, but it’s Cole/Kazarian and Martin and Sydal/FTR match that’s the true backbone of this episode.

Also, they book our dream match for next Rampage, so there’s that. Thanks for listening!

So many mini-promos, so little time! AEW follows up its monster PPV with an exceedingly nimble show that bounces around like it forgot its ritalin. But that’s not a bad thing! Tons of face time for all sorts of people and enough solid in-ring work to make even the surliest cuss smile. Thanks for listening!

Well, the Monday Night Wars won’t TRULY be back until WWE gives us Fake Daniel Bryan and Fake CM Punk … but damnit, this is the next best thing.

An absolute banger of a pay-per-view with not one, not two, but THREE major wrestler debuts to piggyback on the enormous get of Punk. Never gonna get tired of hearing those entrances…

It’s the 100th episode of Dynamite, we’re heading into a PPV, and coronavirus means the women get to be on the main card! A mixed blessing to be sure, but nevertheless, there’s fun to be had.

Not a lot of in-ring action this week (comparatively), but it’s all top-notch. FTR/Santana and Ortiz! Orange Cassidy and Jack Evans! Powerhouse and Brian Cage! Penelope and Tay! And a sick 8-man tag presaging all sorts of hijinks at All Out!

Rating: 76% - Worth Watching

So much thickness in this episode along with enough long entrances to drive Theresa absolutely batty! From the giggly joys of a Dan Lambert promo to the epic sincerity of a CM Punk promo to an absolutely Vince McMahon-style fumbling of the ball when it comes to Malakai Black - this show has it all! Literally!

We’re covering the first Rampage AND the new Little Caesars Crazy Calzony and all on so little sleep that it’s a tiny miracle every time we manage to stay on topic. Enjoy!
