[@MelodicQuest]

I appreciate that you can tell how serious Orange Cassidy is by how dark his denim is

[@AGuyNamedRicky]

Shelton did some dental work on that first security guard. Damn

[@VincentDeLuca2003]

This was the best episode of dynamite in a while. Finally, it seems aew are catching on to something great, something that can recapture the original fire they had from 2019-2022. I hope this great progress continues!

[@hdot89]

I enjoyed the chaos of the final minutes of the episode. MVP locked in for the closing seconds to end it strong. Pose Up!

[@JCJHn]

The fact I could hear the countdown took me out a bit, on thriller you could hear “2 minutes…. 60 seconds…30 seconds”, but other than that I did enjoy it

[@johnshort5830]

I know about Progress Wrestling because of Simon Miller, not vice versa. This gets more eyes on their product, and personally I think Simon holding their title elevates it. 🤷

[@SimonMillerYT]

You’ve no idea how much worth there is in this 🙏

[@deandrenicholas2545]

Always good to see Shelton Benjamin finally get some real shine. That match against Swerve was awesome

[@davidhandley9007]

Because it was the only real wrestling match on the show, I dont know what the rest were, but certainly not pro wrestling

[@ChrisLT]

So excited to see the Hurt boys back. Bobby was untouchable when they were at their peak. Swerve and Nana joining them after this feud would give you such a powerhouse stable.

[@TheHKZero]

Did someone say Powerhouse. Lashley, Shelton, Hobbs. Im here for this Trio.

[@ChrisLT]

@TheHKZero Ok, yeah, Hobbs would be great. Him and Lashey would be unbeatable.

[@DJMYSTERYYGC]

Agreed Hobbs would be awesome but Don Callis may have something to say about that ??😊

[@TheHKZero]

@@DJMYSTERYYGC Lashley, Hobbs, Shelton vs Takeshita, Lance Archer, Kyle Fletcher (maybe) ....Again im here for it

[@stefanweigl6438]

Stricklands leather jacket had the N7 logo on it!!😊

[@Air_OK]

I didn’t notice that last night, that is actually awesome. Knowing Swerve is a Mass Effect fan makes me like him even more lol, thanks for pointing that out!

[@Mx.Dmg1999]

Nice catch!, never knew he was a Mass Effect fan

[@Hellaluyeah]

Mark Davis walked off through the heel tunnel. That was a nice touch. It makes me think, that United Empire isn't over and he is going to surprise turn on Will Ospreay at some point.

[@BobbyCrosthwaite]

Jon Moxleys new character is just fire

[@BeleCoi]

It is. Next to do is make a brand extension so we can wait for the story every week.

[@consumermp]

He’s like Zahir from Korra 💪

[@vb2806]

Yea like a dumpster fire

[@BeleCoi]

@@vb2806 Boreman Lames is the best dumpster fire.

[@Jarrygames86]

Sheep keep baaaaaaaing 😅

[@RazorsxEdge]

You almost killed me with the transition to the genie. 😂😭 I thought this episode of dynamite absolutely ruled. Seeing Private Party win the belts to Adam Cole returning to the ring and Mark Davis coming back. Made me warm and fuzzy in my tum tum.

[@Aevilbeast]

Mark davis...?

[@RazorsxEdge]

@ 1/2 of Aussie Open. Kyle Fletcher’s tag partner. Been out for a year with an injury.

[@Aevilbeast]

@@RazorsxEdge Don't know why I missed that I first read that comment...lol, I must too sleep deprived and it just didn't register or something.

[@BobbyCrosthwaite]

I was saying all night the young bucks were gonna beat private party. Boy I was surprised.

[@AnakinFlytalker700AF]

Same

[@jackrook8715]

Jericho as champion should exclusively appear on the RoH weekly show.

[@entouragefan01]

Swerve should make the call to Powerhouse Hobbs for backup!!

[@trenttylertreadwell7006]

😮😮

[@marcusbarugh919]

That's what I'm thinking too.

[@xandermouser2216]

Nah this is more of a Scorpio sky spot

[@dsikonz]

That wouldn't make sense

[@ValianceXx]

I was thinking of him and Keith Lee getting back together. It would be fun

[@bradevans449]

This was a fantastic episode. I'm loving the Moxley story and feeling a little guilty because I'm rooting for the bad guys here. Buddy Matthews definitely needs a singles push, he's quickly becoming one of my favorites. I'm hoping that Kamille's loss leads to her turning on Mercedes, I think she would be much better on her own. And that main event as incredible, I'm completely stoked having Benjamin and Lashley in AEW.

[@georgespottiswood4660]

Youngbucks and Private party match was OUTSTANDING!

[@LeasonLearned]

I really like how for big matches recently we have been getting build earlier in the episode, CD and the party talking about the up coming match, Hangman and his psychological warfare before his match even started against juice, makes them feel big

[@izzyonyx]

I'll keep Chris Bey in my prayers, he is one of my favorite wrestlers

[@tomseville2345]

The best unintentional comedy on the show was Darby making his huge Sting entrance....and ending up stuck INSIDE the announce table within seconds, after having put his jacket on OVER the hook in his vest, and getting caught up in it...

[@LeasonLearned]

Congratulations champ!!

[@Nerdshrink88]

Wear that belt proud in every video Simon, you earned it!

[@ItsJustUsEnt]

Aew is Closing the Year Strong. Swerve vs The Hurt Business has me hooked. I hope they drag it Out, like the Adam Page Feud. Bobby should Steam Roll the Roster in 2025 Meaning him vs whoever the AEW Heavyweight Champion is, whether it's Moxley, Darby, or Christian Cage.

[@13_Leek]

Adam Cole built like a T Mobile employee

[@dford192]

Kamille *has* been smashing people for a while on Rampage and recently Collision. Having the long build to Kamille turning to Mercedes doesnt make her look any sillier than Wardlow with MJF which was awesome when done long -term

[@bensmith5985]

Did MJF and Wardlow ever finish that feud?

[@davidmasters6190]

AEW truly reflect their belief that heels and faces don't exist. They just act good or bad depending on what they need in the moment.

[@musicdragonmountain2911]

Now I'm wondering what's gonna happen when the Crime Counter reaches 100.

[@LHC2112]

They had Kamille and Shelton both take pins on the same show. I didn't like that.

[@Dr_1212]

Happy Halloween Wrestling fans 🎃 AEW 😎 Haters 💩👎 Simon 👍

[@Sd12sx23]

Great episode overall. But, yes, they are in a bit of a quandry on how to handle Kamille/Mercedes.

[@DanTheMan4Life1]

Simon Miller is my champion forever long live ⬆️ & ⬇️

[@billcowan5539]

I am So Happy to see you with that Title Belt Simon👍💪💪

[@miky5941]

Are we gonna ignore the fact that MVP made a call and Bobby Lashley flew to the arena in just 5 seconds?

[@colebartek9742]

Who said he wasn't already backstage?

[@miky5941]

@colebartek9742 you are a mood killer Mr Bartek

[@LeasonLearned]

MVP was so good during the whole match

[@miky5941]

@@LeasonLearned its called acting ....ok Mr Knight

[@clockworkm]

You’ve never called someone on the phone that was in another room before?

[@red_hood9733]

Excellent show last night from the beginning to the ends, well done AEW keep it UP!

[@davidhandley9007]

Ironic or genuine? For me one of the worst dynamites of all time, just rotten

[@XoxSkateLoverxoX]

I was at this show, no one hates like Cleveland hates lmao. We wanted Buddy to win! Adam was out of the ring! 🤷‍♀️

[@davidhandley9007]

Cole is just the pits, he has the body of a 12 year old, and what was that yellow tan? Just atrocious in the ring, the crowd turned on him and the match

[@positivevibetec]

Okay we got Orange and Darby on the team, now we need someone large .I don't know, like maybe wardlow

[@syafiqhasny4675]

Bald Kyle Fletcher looks like young Randy Orton 😮

[@rezsurfer2808]

" Is It Blockbuster?" LMAO the greatest punch line.... OF ALL TIME LMAO

[@Sidgwick-zi8my]

If the goal of wrestling is to make people care (and it should be), the Young Bucks are objectively, inarguably the all time greatest tag team. They could create an iconic feel - good atmosphere in WCW 2000. They have thrived in an era outside the boring and sanitised WWE Monopoly that had made wrestling a stale, tedious and homogenised product. The layers and textures they add to the AEW brand is worth more than any monetary value imaginable.

[@Peerocka]

The Usos are way better imo

[@davidhandley9007]

Love the irony

[@erod52]

I agree a lot of hate for them but they gotta respect it. There match w Private Party last night was sick. Ain’t no other Tag Team doing all those moves they do.

[@davidhandley9007]

@@erod52 they aren't wrestling moves or wrestling matches though, they are spot fest that make little to no sense. I don't know what the young bucks are, just certainly they aren't professional wrestlers.

[@vb2806]

Talk about bad takes. I can at least see who it is coming from

[@kidcutty88]

My only issue is why do The Hurt Syndicate and The BCC angles at the same time? Kinda makes them look like second fiddle in terms of importance 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@nickgangone9541]

I hope these stories collide somewhere

[@HelixJoe]

They literally main evented the show…..

[@kidcutty88]

@HelixJoe soooo u think moving forward they will be the main focus over Moxleys crew? Basically you have both doing "we're the tough guys and we run AEW angles", while everybody else is doing "I'm going to save AEW" angles. They even roped Adam Cole into this Save AEW nonsense 🤦🏿‍♂️ You can't tell me it's where the best wrestle and everything is sooo much better than the alternative when your main storylines have been about how "this place sucks" 🤷🏿‍♂️ its just backwards booking imo but to each their own

[@kidcutty88]

@nickgangone9541 i dont cause i don't want Bobby going thru Pac and Claudio and Yuta just to lose to Mox so soon. Maybe a year down the line or something like that but TK just don't know how to book big guys and gals soooo ill wait and see 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@nickgangone9541]

@@kidcutty88 for some reason, I believe this will be protected, along with the House of Black. These storylines can do wonders, I actually think if Jericho and Jarrett can help in creative. They know what to do, more importantly, what not to do.

[@BMikeGalloway]

Anyone yapping at Simon for holding onto that belt must recall that the ones you get to hold or probably really expensive pieces of memorabilia you bought offline. Mr. Miller earned this title and he can show it off anywhere he wants and I'm happy he shows it on his KZbin channel. I don't live in Great Britain.

[@shallendor]

Allie(The Bunny), probably was excited that her enemy(Brandon Cutler) got beat up! The battles between Allie and Cutler in video games were so exciting, especially in Among Us! : )

[@XschultzieX]

I wanna see Powerhouse Will Hobbs in the Hurt Business last week. He'll fit in perfectly

[@ronald-xs7sp]

Happy Halloween, Simon!

[@isaacdurham7067]

Why are all their tag team names stupid or too long or a combination of the two????

[@dominicakadragun3103]

I mean Anthony is the best part and most likable of the Acclaimed. Max Castor is the edgy teenager who spent to much time in Call of Duty lobbies.

I'm not big on fantasy booking, however, I can dig this idea.

[@beltway95sports]

I am just excited that the hurt business has the creative freedom to make this what ever they dreamed of, this can be big

[@FigWidIt]

Very impressed by Shelty B. even in defeat. Forgot he's a damn HEAVYWEIGHT tossing AEW's best around the squared circle

[@tomseville2345]

I *knew* this Devil/Undisputed Kingdom thing would backfire on Adam; *everyone* understands why MJF became a prick again (which they prefer him as anyway), because of *him* ; and they WANT The HOB to get the push Black and Buddy never got in WWE...

[@AngelXSantana]

Congrats on the championship

[@sambinox8725]

I hope The Acclaimed join the Hurt Syndicate. Max is in great shape now, and imo they could use another heel run

[@jonpoon3896]

Mox’s “ready to die” comment is a tribute to Bryan

[@jadziaezri2616]

Honestly, I think private party and Bobby Bashley deserved the go home spot…. so if they could’ve held off another week on the tag team championship win or the Bobby Lashley appearance, I think private party deserve that end of show the end of dynamite .,,they won the titles they been grinding just Imo

[@junkpunchhero]

Never liked Private Party, but they did such a good job in that match I was cheering at the 1,2,3

[@Patrick-kr2wg]

good on you Simon I’m a wrestling nerd also so you’re never alone so don’t give up up😮

[@NYR14477]

27:39 WOW WHAT A DIFFERENCE. (only old people will get this)

[@afp445]

I miss that place

[@akagainesy]

I like to think Bobby was sat in a dark closet sat on a box with his phone on a shelf next to him just waiting for MVP to call him. And that's why MVP had to call him, he couldn't see any screens or the ring area itself to know what was going on.

[@rezsurfer2808]

I want Buddy to win Adam is idk eh. But i see Malakai having Buddy and Brody taking on Singles to get them be pushed as solo acts before he bounces back with Vega. Which is ok. But doing it the right way. I do want to see Buddy move up for belts. He totally deserves it. The Tag Team match gave me some happy feelings and im not used to that and i felt happy for PP it was so much a Great Feeling for them. We all knew Bobby was coming and was special also waiting this long. Even though we ALL felt robbed of a EH show in Salt Lake. This was a Great show.

[@SageVallant]

Jericho talking stars is there to bother us all. Casuals are mad that he's bragging and the terminally online are mad because 4 stars from Meltzer isn't even a remarkable number anymore.

[@mr.flaxonwaxon9283]

This was a pretty good Dynamite

Hey Simon - you should call the barricade Benny, to respect the legacy of the dear departed Barry. Never forget.

[@Hunkzilla]

Bobby Lashley blessed AEW with 1 Million views on KZbin.

[@runningmanli6538]

Champion Miller 💯☝🏼👍🏼

[@tomsuoy9360]

Why has Renee questioned her husband's actions? She has interviewed everyone but him and his new girl and clan. You would think she would be concerned.

[@LeasonLearned]

I want so badly for someone to call her out on it, Renee can be a great character herself, maybe like they did with Nigel and Yuta

[@tomseville2345]

You mean why *hasn't* she? And I think that's the problem with fans knowing about real relationships within the same company; everyone wants them to interact, even if their character/role on the show is diametrically opposed; not just Renee and Jon, but Marina and Roddy as well (even though he's in a heel/tweener stable himself)...

[@abhimanyukhandelwal3537]

Adam Cole should have had some matches on dark and elevation before having this match at Dynamite

[@bbartles1495]

Cut the head of the snake \,,/ flotsam and jetsam reference

[@valorjoz]

1) Super happy for Zay and Quen, they deserve the titles. Fun match! 2) I don't mind Jericho's "internet troll" character dropping Meltzer ratings from time to time, but he should do it sparingly. 3) Congrats on the belt, Simon! ⬆️🪙

[@TheQuestionsssssssss]

Simon you should start a “fake injury” counter for AEW. The amount of “match ending injuries“ they do just for that person to keep fighting is getting overdone
