Ups & Downs: AEW Dynamite Review (Nov 20)

[@ParkerH-v2j]

SIMMON WERE IS THE DAMN BELT??????"

[@moderndancingfool]

Claudio & Darby have one of the better TV matches anywhere all year - perfect pacing, good story, NO INTERFERENCE (refreshing) and of course there's a segment of the internet that thinks it was the worst Dynamite in the history of Dynamite. Personally, I really enjoyed Dynamite but I can see how things in the last half hour dragged for people. But there were good things during the show.

[@jjenk911]

Simon Miller should use the Blue Thunder Bomb as a finisher. That'll be a Golden Up.

[@keelersama6182]

I second this 👍

[@theonlymatthew.l]

I've been saying this for years. Make the Blue Thunder Bomb great again!! 😁

[@RoboCunnilingus]

The Brown Thunder Down. Book it, Simon.

[@dobromil199305]

And this should be protected like Orton Punt kick.

[@newgeneration9077]

I’m happy you gave a down to the Adam Cole and Kyle O’Reilly segment random af

[@dougetue4430]

Not having your belt is 2+2 = 🥔

[@Trikkypac]

I am not a fan of Darby, but that bump he took through Timmy the timekeepers table was brutal.

[@JordanODash]

@@Trikkypac I do not like his appearance, I really hate his in ring gear and some of the things he is willing to do for a TV match are unnecessary/ should have been kept for PPVs where he's headlining and just look like he is doing it for the sake of it..... But all that being said in a great match with the right opponents they come off very clean, just fits the natural progression of the match and very brutal.... Claudio was that opponent , the death riders are those people It works very well here

[@ryderdaniels2401]

Excalibur really said "If you are unfamiliar with Bobby Lashley's work!" 😂. A guy who's been on TV since 2005.

[@PatrickMaliha]

Leave it to AEW to give the background on someone like BOBBY LASHLEY but tell us NOTHING when someone from New Japan, Mexico or wherever shows up 🤣🤣

[@Trikkypac]

I think Excalibur is awesome, but that was a ridiculous comment. Surely there cannot be more than 2 people in the world who are big enough wrestling fans to watch AEW, but have never heard of Bobby Lashley.

[@docthepoet426]

I like to think every show is someone’s first

[@badonkeykong7506]

That's his job, he's terrible at it, but it is his job.

[@platinumpagoda3079]

Fickle.

[@X_millennial]

AEW broke the crime counter?

[@stephenmorton6764]

Simon give yourself a Golden Up and keep smashing it Champ 💪

[@bigjs8821]

Can we have an honest conversation on how Takeshita’s theme sounds so much like the Monday Nitro opener?! Or am I taking crazy pills?

[@OxfordDA98]

I must be on the same pills, I totally hear it too

[@bigjs8821]

@@OxfordDA98this SHOULD be dominating wrestling social media conspiracy theories.

[@NathanArmstrong-x9q]

That’s the warm nostalgia kick I can’t place when he comes out! Thank you! Also, T.K., there’s the moon, push him to it. Yesterday.

[@tomseville2345]

Hate to admit, I'm completely desensitized now to what Maxwell said about Roddy and his parents; between Max himself over the years and Christian Cage as of late, we'd be foolish NOT to expect an AEW angle to "go there"...

[@Trikkypac]

Orange was awesome, but he definitely should have won more commandingly. He would be so much better if a choice than Darby to be the next champion. I still think his first International Title run was one of the best title runs ever.

[@bubbaholmberg7057]

Cheeseburger would be a better choice than darby allin

[@danw4490]

Adam Cole needs help with the spray on tan. Geez.

[@TheMulToyVerse]

I’ll never understand why the Blue Thunder Bomb is so ineffective; it looks really good, but maybe Sami and Takeshita just like hearing how you call the spot and then decry it’s ineffectiveness? And also, it doesn’t “never” work… it *~almost~* never works… I think it’s worked at least once, maybe twice for Sami… so you can’t factually say “never”

[@sodastream83]

kyle fletcher is the temu version of randy orton from his legend killer days

[@tomseville2345]

It's SO lucky the announce table didn't collapse when Claudio was pressing Darby over his head...

[@ElizabethMichalski]

Not Having your Belts is 2+2=🥔

[@michaelskatharoudis9201]

Adam Cole was injured because of MJF, i thought it was because when they were in the arena that has the ramp level with the apron, Cole jumped off the ramp But he was there to help MJF beat Samoa Joe

[@andresdiaz3250]

Where's your belt?

[@BigRaji1981]

Ikr

[@alternative7586]

Did he lose it already?

[@CritsHappen]

I agree, the CC has not been discussed well at all, no brackets, no nothing, just "it's coming next week", which makes me think we won't have a lot of good planning for it. Last year, several people came out of the CC with direction and great stories, and frankly, without it, I don't think DG would be where he is now, so I'm hoping I'm wrong, but 100% right to give it a down.

[@jameshauville8401]

This was a very uneven show, more backstage stuff than things happening in the arena. Why do all WWE competitors go this way? AEW needs everything to happen in the arena in front of the live audience and limit the pre taped stuff and backstage antics.

[@BigRaji1981]

Simon you have some splaining to do! Where's your championship?

[@DFoleyProject]

@BigRaji1981 I thought the same thing lol

[@WaTiFs]

The video on Dynamite was an extremely shortened version & was not as good. If you havent seen the full version played on Collision, watch it on youtube people.

[@JimmyJFromBK]

Simon really gave the announcement of the C2 a down, even tho they’ve been saying its coming for a bit now 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@anthonyquintero6805]

Maaaaan. There was an All In watch party in Arlington, TX where we filmed a little video with Jeff Jarrett, that they were supposed to show on Dynamite, and they didn't even show it 😤 I was front row lol

[@Swishoncourt]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I come back every few weeks just to get a laugh 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@supera1877]

The spot where Claudio threw Darby was much worse in person. He actually hit the guard rail with his side before hitting the table. The tv angle everyone saw did not show it well.

[@tomseville2345]

Did they find the extra unsigned wrestler/crew member who they thought looked "most like a homeless guy" for that MJF skit? 🤣🤣

[@QAZ-OMEN]

That was probably Wardlow

[@HeatherGasque]

I think it's time to make the BTB your finisher, Simon.

[@chrisford7909]

No his non-finisher.... And he can have an actual fit with the refs every time it doesn't work!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂

[@irishviking383]

I'm not sure why Simon thought it was Renee Paquette doing the interview in the segment with Roddy Strong.

[@tomseville2345]

Wait; how in the HELL is MJF responsible for Adam's time off, either time? Even in kayfabe, they can't swing *that* ; is it because he broke his foot/ankle jumping off the ramp to "support" Max in 2023? The 2022 concussion and it's after-effects had even less to do with MJF; he wasn't even IN that match...

[@IanPorter555]

Thought they'd be a tribute to Toni Storm now she's retired. 😔

[@mikemadsen7926]

Why do I keep hearing toni storm quit?

[@Sd12sx23]

She's said she's not coming back in an interview, but its very obviously part of a storyline. She will be back.

[@ronald-xs7sp]

Good morning, Simon!

[@Noisy_Army_YT]

Was this held in a smaller building because the entrance looked smaller and crowd more spread out

[@DanakinSkywalkerDarkJedi]

To get rid of the green glow around simon you should use the Lumetri Color effect and use the curves tab to balance out the green screen spill over. PS, Love you Simon.

[@anyelfigueroagarcia4210]

Claudio should go undefeated at the continental classic, I dont know if he should win it but at least make a dominant performance maybe even beat Okada

[@larrybarnes6347]

In my tum tum ....sounds so creepy and weird....we would never say that in the states....

[@QAZ-OMEN]

Bobby lashley won his match by tapping out the illegal man 😂😂.

[@bubbaholmberg7057]

Mina! Mina! Mina! She alone makes this the best show on all of TV, not just wrestling.

[@CJC15]

I usually hate canned audience noise but AEW need it now...everything just sounded dead in the show, with no enthusiasm. I love AEW but what it's become is really sad...

[@akelbowrin4210]

If you go back to Hobbs' return you'll see that he injured the knee. He legitimately has a slight injury and it's been woven until the story. Imo

[@pierreolivierlepage664]

Mox crew does look a lot like a eastern european mafia group in a Guy Ritchie film.

[@Bryandan1elson]

Adam Cole doing a donald trump impression?

[@2007spartanfan]

Was that an f bomb from Simon?

[@edvdylanfan]

This may be up there as one of the worst go home shows I've ever seen....😢😢

[@edvdylanfan]

😊⁰⁰

[@frankrappa4765]

I've never been so early for one of these before.

[@reyr6868]

I admire your optimism simon truly, but man this show was fucking awful

[@BladeV8]

Editor had a hard time making the deadline this week I see...

[@rectim34]

I wonder what’ll happen to Simon’s brain when someone wins with a blue thunder bomb?

[@AlexusDeanna_1]

20:38 Do Do Counter - 26! 😆

[@iamjasonwalker1]

Sorry to be negative, but was literally nothing on Dynamite last night that makes me want to buy the PPV.

[@mikemadsen7926]

It's OK to be honest apparently aew are beginning to get smaller ppv buyrates, I'd definitely save 50$

[@1leggedaddy]

No gonna ask about the casual "f" bomb.

It's her and Nyla vs Mariah and Mina on Rampage. Expect shaking AND wiggling...
