Paid Members LaGoosh Posted March 31, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted March 31, 2023 I enjoyed this weeks episode for the stories though felt that the wrestling itself wasn't great. Absolutely loving them finally embracing big, long term stories with multiple characters weaving in and out. With BCC vs The Elite and the Four Pillars going after the title that's two really strong stories to base the next two months of TV around. The best thing about the BCC/Elite story is just the sheer number of options and paths they can go down. The end point is relatively clear but how they get there is not and that's exciting! I found the lay out of the show a bit frustrating. I understand why it was laid out like that but really you've got to end the show on your biggest angle and Bryan's return and heel turn is where the show should have ended. After that about 2/3rds of the way through the rest of the episode felt like total filler. I know Dynamite is laid out by Tony Khan with all his weird ratings statistics in mind but as a viewer it doesn't always feel like the most cohesive two hours of telly and the show layout is a big part of that. Matt Hardy vs Jungle Boy was completely unneeded. The Jungle Boy/MJF segment was great and didn't need the match before it at all., it added nothing to the story. I would have liked to have seen that TV time from that match used on someone else. Also Matt Hardy is great at fun house show matches on Dark but keep him off the proper shows please.

Wouldn't say it was obvious at all. He went to the ground face down and seemed to quickly motion towards his head whilst the camera moved off him. I actually thought at that time what a stupid blade given how short a period of time he was then actually on screen bleeding. Was surprised we didn't then see him again in a back stage segment later in the show with blood all over him. It all makes sense now though, given it was a legit accident.

BrodyGraham Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 I watched the Chris Brookes and Yoshihiko Vs Two Lads who looked like Bad boy Dragon Gate Heels from this weekends DDT show and absolutely laughed me head off all match. I'd love that on Rampage purely because I think it might make Jim Ross actually quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saturday show since it's meant to be starting in July at the latest. The placeholder "live televised event" or whatever it was can't last much longer. Although there's still those holding out hope for Craven Cottage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
