AEW Dynamite 2nd Anniversary 10/6/2021
8 Man Tag
This was awkward without any entrances and running an injury angle in the first match is maybe a wrestling first. The Bucks and Kenny are better in multi-man matches because they can't do as much and they don't have to sell as much. The Luchasaurus powerbomb botch was bad. I'm still not a fan of doing long opening matches. People need time to warm up and get going, not to get everything in the first match.

CM Punk promo
This wasn't good and felt rushed.
Arn Anderson segment with Cody Rhodes
This was interesting. I popped for Cody getting slapped and was hoping he'd slap Brandi too. I think the gimmick of Arn lighting fires around random people's houses then slapping them could work.
Sammy Guevarra vs Bobby Fish
Sammy took a bunch of nasty bumps here. I've never really been a big Bobby Fish fan and am not particularly angry at him losing on his debut like so many other AEW wrestlers have. Maybe they could do something with Bobby and Adam Cole.
Paige Van Zant used to be good looking, but her gear tonight was not flattering at all.

Women's title announcement
AEW doesn't have enough good talent for their main women's title yet alone a secondary one.

Darby Allin vs Nick Comoroto
This happened on a Dark episode last year before they officially signed Nick. He lost, which I was against as I thought it looked silly. Nothing changed here and Nick lost even faster this time. And worse, most of the match was cut off by commercial.

Hikaru Shida vs Serena Deeb
I skipped a lot of this. I'm really curious if Shida's trophy was a work or not. I liked Deeb nailing her with it. Not a bad angle.
Lio Rush did a promo and wants to manage Dante Martin. I was a big fan of Lio's work in MLW. Lio is still wrestling so I don't know why he's in a managerial role. This should help out Dante though as he doesn't have any personality yet.

Ladder Match
I'm really over ladder matches. I just feel like everything that can be done has been done and they just don't interest me that much anymore. It has nothing to do with any promotion in particular. Adam Page was the mystery man and he and Pac took an awful bump off the ladder. Andrade took an awful bump onto the ladder. We've been told the plan is for Page to win the title and since they had no other way to get him there, they did it this way with the ladder match.
Overall thoughts: It wasn't a great show. It had some lowlights to it and I've seen better and worse.
