AEW Dynamite 7/21/2021 Fyter Fest Night 2 Review
The talk right now has been that the plan with AEW was to load up these shows as AEW goes back on the road. And it seems that with the various contracts cuts or expiring contracts, Tony Khan has been opening up the checkbook and trying to get as many people as possible along with…

CM Punk Possible Return? Maybe With AEW?
I will firmly admit that pro-wrestling right now might be getting very interesting. While the pandemic hurt the business from an audience drawing capability along with the product losing a lot of its luster, one of the weird positives to result was the WWE casting off many people. I consider this a positive because what…

AEW Dynamite: 7/14/2021 Fyter Fest Night One Review
Coming from the H-E-B Center in Cedar Park, Texas, this is one of the first truly on the road shows for AEW as things begin opening up again from COVID-19. For me this show would be the initial litmus test for seeing how non-Florida fans would react. The current theory is that fans are going…

AEW General Thoughts
Now, that I’ve caught up with AEW and familiarized myself with their product and a few of their shows, I wanted to put some thoughts down as someone who has watched pro-wrestling most of his life (since 1985) and offer a critique of what they’re attempting to accomplish. While my reviews may come off as…

AEW Dynamite 7/8/2021 Review
AEW Road Rager at the James L Knight Center in Miami Florida, live once more with a hot crowd. To me this was the start of the test to see how AEW can do beyond their COVID-19 base at Daily’s Place. I couldn’t tell 100% but it mostly looked like a full house, but I…

AEW Dynamite 6/30/2021 Review
This is the last show at Daily’s Place since the start of the pandemic as AEW will be going on the road from next week. That should be refreshing in a sense in seeing a new location, even though I still disagree that places should be re-opening with the variant. Nevertheless, tonight was with a…

All Elite Wrestling – Which Stars Should AEW Sign From WWE’s Layoffs
Right now, AEW is in a good position to grab up some ex-WWE talent as a 3rd round of layoffs has occurred the other day. Given the three big cuts since April, I decided to put together a list of wrestlers I think would be a good fit from these groups to come to AEW.

AEW Dynamite 6/18/2021 Review
Another day, another review. The big thing about this Dynamite episode is that it’s the last crowdless taped show. And next Saturday will show a live airing at Daily’s Place, which is weird considering that their ratings have steadily dropped since moving to Friday. Not sure if the Saturday move will help much but I…

AEW Dynamite 6/12/2021 Review
Another Friday night, another AEW Dynamite review. Thought this show was stronger than last week’s but I did feel it still needs a lot of work.

AEW Dynamite 6/4/2021 Review
Again, I’m not going to do a play-by-play of every match. I only saw a sampling of the program so I can’t provide a specific context. Also, I think that would just take too much time and mental energy to make it worth my while. So I’m going to focus on key points for each…
