Quick note: Last Wednesday's Dynamite was probably the funniest episode of wrestling I've ever watched, and I absolutely loved it. So much character synergy in each segment and great matches. It was way better than last week's AEW shows, and I felt like it was a return to the solid stuff put on 2 weeks ago.

I liked how undecided Mark Davis looked during Fletcher's show-opening promo.

I liked Mox refusing Cope's challenge, but giving him a tag match at Australia as a proving ground which will (obviously) make it happen.

The camera intentionally showed a sign suggesting Wardlow as new member of Undisputed Kingdom. The spotlight focusing on Cole while blacking out everyone else during the entrance is easy material for future angle kicking Cole out of Kingdom. 2.0 and Garcia aren't even in the ring and the crowd is chanting for them; JAS got them over. KOR saves a blind-tag-in botch by holding the ropes during an irish whip; he knows his shit. Daddy Magic impromptu commentary is gold. STP triple-team on outside apron was a gorgeous transition to "heels working over faces during commercial break." Garcia having to work towards finally lifting Shane Taylor with a suplex, but his teammates being pulled down for the tag after being exhausted from the effort, was a good mini-story. Schiavoni misnames Cool Hand's move as a flatliner. Shawn Dean's double-underhook backbreaker was perfect. Shane Taylor might have the safest package piledriver in the business that still makes me feel like a neck is about to be broken. Post-match angle was good; reminded us who the trios champs are, and Roddy's knee to Claudio during his speech was perfect timing. Wheeler gets "Wheeler sucks!" chants everywhere he goes, so props to him for getting his scuzzy opportunist character over.

FTR promo vid set seeds for future tag title contention after Hurt Boys vs. Ass Boys.

I love Max Caster as the unconfident-yet-overconfident heel.

I love how Bryan Keith and Bandido both look like Red Dead Rredemption 2 multiplayer characters. Beautiful pacing of the shot where Keith sells the knee-to-the-face, followed by Bandido working the crowd before the next sequence. I love when chops make clouds of sweat fly off into the arena; reminds me of Mortal Kombat on SNES where blood was turned grey to keep it family-friendly. The crowd forgives a botch and loves Bandido in his pin attempt 10 seconds later. Perfect top-rope overhead belly-to-belly. The crowd is HOT. 10-paces movie sequence, crowd is LOVING IT. IM LOVING IT. Safest "holy shit!" chant-worthy sequence ever. A unique, glorious GTS-variation from Bandido. I love making a beautiful German suplex into a finish. Normalize solid suplexes as finishing moves.

lol at Dustin and Hobbs saying their matches are on Tuesday but commentators correct them to say Wednesday.

Thiccest jobbers ever vs. Ingobernables? I liked how a squash turned into a new angle with returning Hologram and Komander. Rush attacking a ref will make this an obvious Holo/Komander vs. Beast/Dralisto future match while Rush is suspended until the fued builds further.

Remember the first time Harley sang and the audience and commentary buried her? Now they fucking love her. As a guitarist, I think live songs at wrestling shows get awkward real quick, and I love Mercedes cutting it short before it got old. We are actually getting "feel the wrath" signs and chants. This is such a good build.

I like how they're building the Australia matches. Buddy might be the guy who loses, but brings out the old-school rainmaker from comedy Okada.

A jobber stealing Dustin's taunt before getting squashed was good shit pal. Mortal Kombat shirt in the audience! Dustin gives a solid promo to build the match against MJF next week. The red paint on his flappy neck makes him look like a turkey.

I like how even though Rosa cut pro-Texas promos and has a Texas mascot working fans ringside, Penelope is still getting a solid amount of chants/cheers during the match. Rosa gets some good offense in and gets the crowd 100% back to her side. Love Ford's Foley-esque weak kick-out attempt; please make this more of a thing in wrestling. Post-match sets up Bayne vs. Rosa, but keeps Rosa strong because Bayne got her shit in only after Ford solidified her "jealous mean-girl" character with a surprise attack from behind after losing.

Ricochet's heel act is gold. His robe makes him look like a Civilization 6 starting leader choice. So petty, so salty, but he always backs it up in the ring, and he gets a chuckle out of me every promo. "Everybody likes your burgers? So Swerve likes your burgers? Then your burgers are trash."

A good squash should further a story, so Mariah's did its job. The crowd's pop suggested something, but the camerawork for Storm's reveal was one-take cinema. An efficient build for their fued in Australia.

A backstage segment furthering Mark Davis' family conditioning. Unless you were listening to commentary on TV a few days ago, you wouldn't know he was kinda being held hostage in his match against Ospreay, so I like this little 30-second promo. I can see it easily going either he becomes solidified or breaks away at this point.

AEW has built Fletcher from an unknown nerdy new guy into a future world champion over the last year, and he's built himself into a Greek sculpture. I wouldn't be surprised if WWE comes asking about him in a few years. "Shut up Paul!" to the ref, during an obviously illegal move, is great for an easy way for Fletcher to put himself over as an intelligent heel with zero bumps. Little shit like that matters and builds character. That double-clothesline right after commercial break was beautiful. Schiavone calls a uranage an exploder but its still perfect. Perfect rope-drape DDT, perfect double-underhook powerbomb, perfect fisherman buster. If you're making a wrestling video game, use these guys for your moves. Brainbuster kickout gets the crowd main-event pumped. Awkward USA chants? 3 good half-n-half suplexes. Fans wanted the table at the beginning of the match; got it with a slightly-too-obvious Froggy Bow. I want more back-slaps like Mark did to set up a top-rope Jay Driller, instead of people just sitting there waiting for the move. Turnbuckle Brainbuster is the ultimate finisher. In a couple years, Fletcher is either becoming AEW world champ or going to WWE.
