AEW Dynamite 9/29/2021
It was going well then they did the hurricanrana to the outside which they didn't sell much. Then they did a panama sunrise that was kicked out of. That ruined what was a decent match. Kicking out of canadian destroyers in the opener? Really?
The Elite Segment
Wasn't a fan of this one at all. This was goofy and Danielson shouldn't have been involved with it. This would have been crapped all over if it was done by WWE.
Andrade/Lucha Bros Segment
This was hard to understand and made the AAA titles look bad.
Dante Martin and Matt Sydal vs Cody Rhodes and Lee Johnson
As usual, Cody gets the big entrance and Lee gets nothing. Brandi wasted no time here in wanting to get back on screen. Dante gave himself a tombstone here in a classic AEW botch and then everyone did their flips during the commercial break. Dante took a vertebreaker, kicked out then came off the top 20 seconds later. This was AEW at its worst.
I don't really know what to say about the Arn promo. If the goal was to put over Arn and bury Cody, I guess they accomplished that. Odd for AEW to have Arn glorifying shooting people when they dedicated a show to being anti-gun violence.
Jon Moxley, Eddie Kingston and Darby Allin vs Bear Country and Anthony Greene
Wasn't a fan of this one at all. Bear Country hasn't been on Dynamite in months and Greene hasn't been on Dynamite period. Instead of some hype videos to make these guys look important, they got made to look like jobbers. I did not like Bear Country getting thrown around here at all. Greene was never treated this bad on 205 Live, which is really saying something.
16 man tag match
I get that this was supposed to be a Brodie Lee tribute and I'm just going to leave it at that.
Hey Lio Rush is back. He'll probably be retired by the next Dynamite.
Tay Conti and Anna Jay vs Penelope Ford and The Bunny
Busy night for AEW Botches here as Tay Conti took a random bump to the outside that pretty much killed the match.
MJF did a promo and referenced the cringe 4 pillars meme, which compares some of AEW's young talent with All Japan's 4 Pillars of Heaven from the 90's. Not a fan at all. Those guys aren't on that level and it's just going to give people more ammunition against them. MJF mentioned Darby's relative dying during a promo. Orton did something like that with Eddie Guerrero's death a long time ago and that was not received well, yet I have a feeling Dave Meltzer will give it a pass this time. MJF is bringing himself down with these stunts and is becoming more reliant on it by the week.
Not a fan of Bryan Danielson being on Rampage. AEW's been trying but it is clearly the second show and wasting Bryan on it is a mistake.
Miro vs Sammy Guevarra
The SSP counter spot was a cool idea but they botched it. Miro overbumped here and took way too much offense for his character. Putting Sammy over him was a really bad call since Miro was doing well and since this wasn't that well built, but at least it helped out Sammy. They cut away from Sammy's victory celebration too fast also.
Overall thoughts: This was indy garbage and a total 180 from last week. We had a couple of classic AEW botches here, bad Japanese references, a couple of burials and a lame MJF promo.
