2024-11-06 AEW Dynamite - REVIEW
Commentary: Excalibur, Nigel McGuinness, Toni Schiavone
Location: Manchester, NH
Venue: SNHU Arena
Attendance: 2647 (wrestletix)
Live TV Viewers: 523,000 avg (wrestlenomics)
General Comments: The show obviously did a very disappointing TV rating. NXT put on a big show in Philadelphia and beat AEW in their own time slot. Tough.
Here is a link to our NXT (11/6) review:
As far as this show goes, Vlad “The Wrestling Expert” gave this show his first negative rating of any show we’ve reviewed since we started back in June. To be fair, Vlad omits reviewing many angles so there may have been worse shows in his eyes, but nonetheless, I got a text from him saying plainly and simply, “This show was awful.” I didn’t think it was a terrible show.
Anyway, here is our review… Stay tuned to episode #134 of the Malapert Smark Podcast for more in depth reviews of some of these angles. I certainly wanna break down the Mercedes/Statlander segment.😆

⭐️Kayhan: “This program seems to have lost steam especially with the Hurt Syndicate in town now. Doesn’t seem like the strongest stable. I gather this has devolved into just feuding with the lower card guys and trying to elevate them… All the rumors of Shane-O-Mac seem to have gone away as well.”

⭐️Kayhan: “Well i has a bit a difficult time categorizing this angle but since MJF enlisted Don Callis Family help to fight Adam Cole, and Cole was out there getting involved in the the whole Don Callis Family war at the end, I just lumped anything that had to do with MJF, Cole, and the Callis Family into one giant intertwining angle… that being said, I’m not a fan of MJF once again buying henchmen. It’s an old angle. MJF hasn’t been on the show at all so that hurts the angle… The one moment about all this that I kinda liked was Don Callis taking MJF’s money and walking off with the evil maniacal laugh. But other than that. Not into the MJF/Cole program. The Don Callis stuff with Davis and Ospreay coming in at the end was a bit more interesting. They kinda wasted Ospreay’s return here but maybe that could lead somewhere. I suspect Davis will join with Fletcher in the end tho.”

⭐️Kayhan: “I didn’t mind this. Jericho’s talked so much sh*t to Briscoe that it’s no wonder this isn’t over between them. But they haven’t mentioned if Briscoe is actually gonna try to regain the ROH World Title. It seems more like Ishii is gonna face Jericho instead.🤷♂️”

⭐️Kayhan: “Why did it take so long for Juice to come out and help White? That part didn’t make sense. But other than that this was the first thing about this fued that I actually kind dug. I’m actually looking forward to this match, as their last ppv match at WrestleDream didn’t have a great build.”
