Man at this point we all need to share our energy like the spirit bomb so that the blue thunder bomb will get the 1,2,3

[@Varkism]

Ospreay vs Fenix was incredible as expected. The sheer caliber of skill by those two alone.

[@johnstrika9170]

Lmfao. A skill for no selling, which is the most important thing in pro wrestling

[@six6thdisciple]

CODY NO SELLED A “BURNING HAMMER” FROM AJ STYLES 🤷

[@CMc_39]

Ospreay is fun to watch but these matches kind of just become an acrobatics show where you know Ospreay is getting the pin at the end. They need to switch it up a little with him because his matches are all pretty much the same

[@joshmatlock1020]

Ospreay posted on X that the move you mentioned from the Spanish Fly counter was indeed improvised on the fly.

[@Aragorn7884]

Pun intended 😅

[@joshmatlock1020]

@@Aragorn7884 Totally intended.

[@xddddddddddd4646]

That's so cool. I thought it looked rehearsed. I know nothing 😂

[@BobbyCrosthwaite]

Simon as usual u get the GOLDEN UP

[@johnscilleto]

I fucking love Okada 😂

[@dan7291able]

Timeless Toni with the "Wide load with the Gold" line was hot as hell lol, and my god Mariah is just stunning too, it really was a perfect pairing and the gimmick has been great i dont care what anyone says

[@Post1157]

Simon, you host the best review show ever.

[@Dee-vv5eh]

Ospreay vs Fenix was like poetry in motion 🤟🏽

[@caseym9656]

Dustin’s an underrated legend if such a thing exists. He’s so damned good.

[@xddddddddddd4646]

WWE not giving him a world championship is tragic

[@sspaay]

Talent and a ton of experience. You can tell by watching him he knows how to work a match and work a crowd. The fact that he's clean and in top physical condition doesn't hurt either.

[@JamesBowman-vk4ob]

Dustin should've been a champion and still should be a champion.

[@elchomper.1063]

Osprey vs Fenix is exactly why AEW is a good thing for wrestling. If you Like the cruiserweight high flying style or not it was incredible. That hurricanna top rope reversal was ridiculous in the best possible way I physically jumped off my couch scared my 85lb sleeping pittie overgrown pound puppy ( was being trained in a dog ring the people thankfully got raided and she ended up in the pound where I got her. Looks mean actually scares my elderly grandma but just wants 3 things well 4 food pets toys and licks) and spilled my beer. Tldr LONG LIVE AEW IT'S GOOD FOR WRESTLING. Not everything is gonna be great or even good but that's any promotion take the women's tag on Monday that was crap but the Sami Otis stuff was great just for example. FREE OTIS

[@davidcoombsbestmegadethalb9780]

AGREED

[@javierflores3640]

Mark Sterling sold the hell out of that choke hold.😂🤣👍🏾

[@ronald-xs7sp]

And why not? This is the first time he's been on Dynamite in a while!

[@matrixmessiah6083]

needed to sell that since he didnt sell the sneak attack on the ramp at all lol

[@Hawkeye26]

Not only do I appreciate Simon's fascination with rhymes, and it's helped me discover more occurrences in my own life, but I REALLY REALLY love the Pizza Hut bit! Never change, Mr. Miller, never change. You had such humble beginnings on YT, and it's wild to compare how nervous and flat you were then compared to the amazing personality you've developed in the interim!

[@TLD4547]

Oh my god bro the thumbnail lol!!😂😂 I’m so glad that I wasn’t the only one that caught that!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mystikalmz95]

what about it? :o

[@edgekatz5]

Ospreay and Fenix blow my mind every time, just awesome

[@johnritter8654]

I've missed a few ups and downs been busy but I'm back so.always entertaining and informative thank you keep up the great work

[@whippetrun]

I DO need a wrestling review show in my life, matter of fact I need ONE more (again) ! I wish you did "ups and Downs" on Collision again ( at least the live ones) There is a lot of little strings on Collision that ties into Dynamite and well you do Raw and Smackdown so....

[@dannybob42]

I wouldn't bank on Acclaimed making it to Blood & Guts, doesn't seem the right fit, BCC seems more likely, Joe/HOOK/Shibata could be a shout, or a way to debut the MCMG

[@Cyklopz007]

I was in attendance and can confirm this is all correct.

[@kennyhall9117]

SIMON IS THE BEST, SIMON NUMBER ONE 👏👏 also I will be @ collision this Saturday, and I am STOKED ABOUT IT

[@j.k.massey364]

I wish we could get you guys doing Collision again. Maybe a Rampage/Collision combo? We need more Simon & AEW.

[@jeremyrounds6821]

As an Iowan (I couldn’t make this show but was at my first AEW show ever on collision last Saturday) I loved Jericho telling us about how to grow corn.

[@Sd12sx23]

I hope you learned something. 😂

[@samallex6484]

Private party did too. 😂😂😂

[@backwardbloom80youtubevide36]

Killshot is a *wink wink* *nod nod* to Prince Puma aka Ricochet in my opinion.

[@shaundunne1791]

Ricochet to cost osprey at forbidden door???

[@billcowan5539]

That episode of Dynamite was Awesome 🔥👍

[@coachpelkey]

I wish Zeuxis would get more time. She had a great match

[@user-og7pr3qp9v]

not an AEW talent but they still gave her an excellent showing in my oppinion

[@Beray02]

I understand historically you'd put the champion on last. However, starting with the champion isn't a terrible thing at least psychologically. The first thing someone see's and the last is what they remember the most. Parry that with the presumption that AEW are trying to capitalize on the shows that air before Dynamite it isn't a terrible idea to have the champion be on first.

[@kimchi2780]

AEW uses analytics and puts people on when their views are highest.

[@tomseville2345]

I was looking forward to hearing how Simon (of all people) would handle "Zeuxis" and I wasn't disappointed; however, I got more than I bargained for with "Tate MayFace" (who Simon knows personally), that one was a bonus...

[@andersbonde6359]

I miss abadon!

[@tomseville2345]

Watch ROH then (without moaning about not watching ROH, preferably), most of the AEW woman are there...

[@leen7055]

Love Joe and Hook together, great show.

[@johnpittsii7524]

Thanks for the review Simon ❤

[@audiofrost]

Simon you're wrong I do need a review show in my life, sometimes watching wrestling we miss things. You fill us in on the entire show

[@stephenmorton6764]

Simon give yourself a Golden Up and keep smashing it. Is your match with Danhausen going to be streamed on anything?

[@aaronhurst4379]

I was just wondering what Danhausen's been up to

[@kevinhousen2791]

I will never understand why wrestling went away from the championship. The Championship should be the star not just a prop. Wrestlers come and go but championships are forever.

[@ddjsoyenby]

it was a great aew last night.

[@johnlewandoski1645]

Love the shabota hook and joe faction the triple choke out spot was great the side step nope spot made me laugh so hard.

[@dustinsensenig9798]

Simon, please replace Adam Wilbourn

[@ladySmokinTreezfourtwnty]

Are they the ones that do the news. ? If so they get on my nerves where they get their info from 😕

[@whippetrun]

@@ladySmokinTreezfourtwnty Their "news" is usually just recaps from wrestling dirt sheets, it's not like it's they are doing any investigating

[@ladySmokinTreezfourtwnty]

@@whippetrun lol 🤣 it seems like they get info from Meltz

[@Josh-fq6zn]

Please don't put the acclaimed in blood n guts

[@xddddddddddd4646]

Ya I hope not. Just do BCC with swerve

[@Josh-fq6zn]

@xddddddddddd4646 I was thinking swerve death triangle and darby

[@xddddddddddd4646]

@@Josh-fq6zn more Penta is a dub for me.

[@Dr_1212]

AEW 😎 F the Haters Simon always gets an up 👍

[@johnlewandoski1645]

Could you imagine pac vs osprey at Wembley

[@prajwalnoronha2818]

That might actually top the Omega vs Okada match. They both are experts high flying and PAC is an all rounder. Crowd noise would be insane, considering 2 Brits wrestling for the world title.

[@xddddddddddd4646]

There would be no Osprey without PAC. Also I need PAC v Will v Ricochet triple threat

[@robertcawley340]

Kinda got the feeling ricochet will cost osprey the title at forbidden door, for rematch at all in where he wins

[@xddddddddddd4646]

He's contract isn't up till July I believe. But they should be shenanigans to keep Will looking strong.

[@johnstrika9170]

90 day no compete clause

[@didgy8674]

I was there last night. Shit was fire

[@kimchi2780]

Yall were LOUD!!!!

[@GrumpyWolfTech]

Best part of the night was when Jericho said "that doesn't work for me brother," how the hell did you not mention that?

[@audieprice2175]

Adam Wilburn deserves a brown down

[@ralphkennedy5744]

Will Osprey & Phoenix are absolutely the best. More of this high energy stuff

[@ronald-xs7sp]

Good morning, Simon!

[@tomseville2345]

The "Bad Apple" logo on Jericho's tree that had a cartoon Bryan Keith on it is almost identical to Carlito's old WWE logo from his first run there...

[@Akatsuki365]

Best ending to a Dynamite this entire year

[@ReddestPxnda]

I Do need Ups & Downs in my life 😢

[@aaronhurst4379]

Yeah, the Undisputed Kingdom have looked like mugs for months, for me since Taven and Bennett lost that handicap match to Swerve. Then again, I haven't been watching Collision or the other weekly shows lately

[@dwyane23]

I havent watched AEW in a while seems like i should check it out cause they be doing good stuff

[@chrispellack5536]

How did it sound on video? I was there and the crowd was hot at times.

[@Aragorn7884]

Freebird rule FTW ❤

[@FailureByDesignMusic]

bring back collision ups and downs!

[@jjenk911]

Renee, Kyle, and Willow corpsing? SEND FOR THE MAN!

[@Steele42]

It's a bit late for this but what about MJF as Wolverine?

[@Mmgeneral]

Good match. Really hope Ospreay considers some new ring gear. He needs a glow up

[@JamesBowman-vk4ob]

AEW is getting better every week , I know you haters will hate , and you wwe marks will cry , so cry me a river .

[@cjwhite6846]

My next paycheck I'm getting that shirt, GWFL!!!

[@wyzeazz]

The Fallen Angels eye is better!!!!! hooray cause that was crazy looking.

[@johnstrika9170]

Calling Adam Wilburn a journalist is like calling Simon Miller a successful pro wrestler

[@jackchong5324]

Okada is hilarious. Its just too bad we don't have him showing up in BTE anymore and stealing and wearing Nicholas' ring gear. Yup, Ospreay and Fenix just turn off gravity.

[@RandolfLycan]

I’m sorry but how is anyone finding the learning tree segment watchable?

[@grant1739]

Aew marks defend anything aew

[@whippetrun]

@@grant1739 I am an AEW mark AND I like Jericho.. I even like this gimmick,. BUT the Learning tree *segment* (with the set and all) sucks hopefully this was the last of the set.

[@bradevans449]

@@grant1739 Nope. As much as I love AEW, I hate Jericho's new gimmick. I tune out every time he's on now.

[@Sd12sx23]

I know I'm in the minority, but I'm finding it decently entertaining.

[@kimchi2780]

I didn't like it at first but it's been pretty funny and Private Party got a huge pop after the segment.

[@fredos4323]

Wardlow needs to just hurry and join the big leagues. How do you leave guys like that off tv?

[@andrewmorrison5289]

Adam has been in a feud with comedy for years now. He won't rest until I never laugh again

[@Tompeteux]

Let’s be real here,the only times where the Bucks would be called “killers” is when talking about ratings.😀

[@Sd12sx23]

Question is: are orange and willow just friends, or more....?

[@DrekiBerserkr]

I need a wrestling review show in my life since I can't watch wrestling.

[@BobbyCrosthwaite]

Bryan Danielson is going to win the Owen Hart Cup

[@odogcombover]

We don’t get to see Craig concrete very often so I do believe you should use the proper name lol

[@vashoutlaw8278]

AEW has so much potential: MJF, Swerve, Osprey, Danielson, Joe. Unfortunately, every time the Bucks and their group come on screen, I completely lose interest.

[@varitsvq9002]

I hate Christopher Daniels character in AEW. Doesn't work.

[@btipton6899]

Temu Adam Pierce

[@davidcoombsbestmegadethalb9780]

GIVE IT A ACHANCE

[@aiyuuu8908]

i find aew boring.. but i always watch okada and mjf cause they are actually very entertaining... i also watch every kenny omega watch.. okay i also watch will osprey and bryan danielson match.. but i hate seeing bryan lose i wish he get pushed cause he don't have long career ahead anymore..

[@timothydevlin9774]

Dynamite sponsored by Death ... Up.

[@user-og7pr3qp9v]

was that CC joke supposed to mean jericho is overexposed lol

[@CMc_39]

Mark Briscoe is like that guy in your neighborhood who used to do meth for years but now he doesn’t anymore and just says wild shit

[@rocapbg9518]

They need to add Simon to the Maraiah Maye program

[@Michael-zc8nt]

WWE Sami Zayn Blue thunder Boom vs Aew tekesha''s blue Thunder Boom if they both could fight against each other it's going to be a long night match

[@grant1739]

Will has the goofiest haircut in wrestling it's amazing he goes around looking like that

[@whippetrun]

I honestly don't remember him with anything else lol I am sure he has had it different but I don't remember it

[@kimchi2780]

Kyle Fletcher would like a word

[@FFA441]

Pac vs ospreay in wembly would be fun

[@tomseville2345]

Zeus is female and has come to Earth to become AEW TBS Champion? Well, I guess his daughter is already the ROH Women's Champ...

[@123haninhk]

Simon, please learn how to pronounce Zeuxis name. Don’t just change it to Zeus.

[@wstine79]

WILLY TWO BELTS! 👏👏👏👏

[@tomseville2345]

He's English, so he's going to have to maintain his composure whenever clueless American fans chant that... 🤣🤣

[@Edward-fy6bt]

Once I seen the thumbnail I knew will wasn’t beating swerve

[@symphonyofgecko7768]

it was a great episode

[@BlaxkSun]

So swerve is just a transitional champion…

[@ronald-xs7sp]

You're just figuring that out now?

[@Devondavis-fm2dz]

TWO BELTS WILL COMING SOON 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@kevinhousen2791]

Mercedes is the best women wrestler in the world. Move for Move no women is close.

I miss the intro.

Great show, but doesn’t Prince Nana know you should just say no to crack?

[@KaneA87]

Adam is the literal worst part of this whole channel! Different things for different people, I suppose

[@Mary-le1mh]

Is it just me or does a bald Mox look like he should be on the F.B.I. most wanted poster?

You should name the concrete Curt.

Who had there 'talk show' first. Jericho or Grayson waller, Austin Theory

[@grant1739]

Roddy Piper

[@ladySmokinTreezfourtwnty]

That's not what I meant ,thanks tho

[@whippetrun]

The Barber Shop and Piper's Pit were probably first ones, there may have been another in WWF days before that, but the Barber Shop was ut the "talk show" gimmick on the map

[@ladySmokinTreezfourtwnty]

@@whippetrun sighs.. again not what I meant lol 🤣

[@bryannicholls200]

Adrian Adonis had the flower shop, definitely before the Barber shop not too sure if it came before or after Pipers pIt in old school WWF.
