[7.0] "Matt Hardy vs. Perry war okay, aber ich brauche Hardy nicht mehr unbedingt im Ring. Mit Perry hat immerhin der Richtige gewonnen. Nach dem Match kommt MJF in der Ring und hält eine starke Promo an die Jungle Boy's Antwort nicht im Ansatz herankommt, auch wenn dieser sich merklich verbessert hat. Das Backstage Segment mit Omega und Don Callis war sehr interessant, genau wie die Storyline bisher. Nach einem komischen Video mit The Acclaimed und Teilen der JAS zerlegt der BCC Castle und seine Boys. Nach einem ordentlichen Backstage Interview mit Hangman plus Don Callis werden erst mal Beide vom BCC zerlegt, großartig. Omega vs. Cobb kann zwar nicht ganz mit Omegas Match der Vorwoche mithalten, ist aber trotzdem noch stark und mein MotN. Im Aftermath gibt es die Rückkehr von Danielson und der BCC zerlegt Kenny Omega, das war sehr unterhaltsam. Nach einem guten Videopaket für The Gunns vs. The Revival folgt eine ordentliche Promo der Tag Team Champs. OC vs. The Butcher war ordentlich, nicht mehr nicht weniger, also so ziemlich genau das, was ich erwartet hatte. Dann gibt es eine relativ gute Videopromo von Cargill und Anhang, die Fehde mit Taya ist bisher nicht verkehrt. Juice Robinson's Videopromo in Richtung Starks und Andretti hat dann auch abgeliefert, ich mag seinen Mic-Stil nicht immer, hier hat das funktioniert. Willow vs. Soho war solide und die Outcasts fangen für mich immerhin langsam zu funktionieren, zumindest im Ansatz. Das Aftermath hatte die exakt selbe Formel wie in der Vorwoche, bis Hayter auftaucht. Hobb's Videopromo war okay, bisher ist sein Titlerun aber ziemlich unterwältigend. Mit Cole vs. Garcia bin ich irgendwie überhaupt nicht warm geworden, obwohl das Match sicherlich auf hohem Niveau war. Solide wars trotzdem. Vielleicht liegt es auch daran, dass ich mit Cole bei AEW bisher nur bedingt was anfangen kann. Das kurze Aftermath könnte eine Fehde zwischen Cole und Jericho andeuten, worauf ich jetzt auch nicht heiß wäre. Insgesamt war das eine gute Ausgabe von Dynamite."

[8.0] "Gute Ausgabe von Dynamite. Die beiden Matches zu Beginn haben nicht viel bewegt, aber die Promos von MJF und Jack Perry waren dann wirklich stark. Man kriegt den Eindruck, die beiden können sich im echten Leben richtig gut leiden und arbeiten so perfekt zusammen. Omega-Cobb ist dann ein richtig gutes Match. Ein schönes Detail war das NJPW Theme von Omega, das ich wesentlich epischer finde als Battle Cry. Danielson als nächster Gegner für Omega finde ich überragend. Möglicherweise eröffnet das sogar die Möglichkeit, Danielson bei New Japan zu sehen, wenn er den US Title gewinnen sollte. Cole-Garcia war dann auch gut, selbst wenn es nur ein vergleichsweise kleines Comeback-Match für Cole ist. Danach deutet sich eine Story mit Jericho an, die auch gut werden könnte. Cassidy-Butcher war eine eher schwache Titelverteidigung des International Titles. Am besten funktioniert die Midcard Titelverteidigung von Cassidy als Opener, um die Menge anzuheizen."

[7.0] "I think that BCC never reached his full potential but now they are absolutely perfect! And the whole stroy with the Elite and Hangman it's perfect, too. Already the best feud of the company in months and the best things that happened in the last 2/3 shows. Danielson's return and heel turn were brillant. All the rest was alright, every match wasn't above average: the opener was alright with a great MJF's promo after the match, Cassidy vs. Butcher started well but after the beginning everything was bad, Omega vs. Cobb was pretty good and it was the best match of the night. Soho vs. Nightingale exceeded my expectations and tuned out to be very solid with a funny post-match brawl and the main event was dissapointing but still a decent match. I'm vey happy to see Cole back in AEW ring. Also some great video packages."

[4.0] "Just an average show. Didn't arouse any interest in anything. The matches were watched without enthusiasm."

[5.0] "Man this show was average as hell and the biggest disappointment was the main event. Like what the hell, the guy receives piledriver after piledriver and then basically no sells to hit the Boom, and then after all that gets the post match spot with all the confetti and streamers. For what he didn't even win the title, it was just a return match, TK is such a mark."

[8.0] "A really enjoying episode. The card really delivered with a good showcase for Jeff Cobb and a triumphant return for Adam Cole. MJF's segment was quite something, really entertaining. Let him have his own full 2-hour episode."

[7.0] "Gutes Dynamite mal wieder. Netter Opener zwischen Perry und Hardy. Die Niederlage kann Hardy gut verschmerzen und Perry bringt der Sieg ein Stück weiter. Ich mag eh die ganze Story rund um die Pillars von AEW. Das macht wirklich Spaß zu sehen. Der BCC ist danach dran und vernichtet vor allem die Boys. Die müssen ganz schön einstecken während Castle sich zumindest ein wenig wehren kann. Aber das war schon eine Vernichtung. MOTN ist dann Omega gegen Cobb. Das war ein richtig gutes Match. Schön Cobb auch wieder zu sehen. Gutes Match der beiden. Ich freue mich wenn wir Omega jetzt wieder öfters in Singles Matches zu sehen. Cassidy gegen Butcher war halt da. Das hätte ich jetzt so nicht gebraucht aber vom Match her war das in Ordnung. Ich wünsche mir da doch mehr internationale Gegner als Leute aus der AEW Midcard. Soho gegen Willow hatte dann natürlich einen Aufbau und war auch als Match ganz gut. Die ehemaligen Freundinnen schenken sich nichts und Soho kann sich den Sieg sichern. Im Main Event gab es noch die Rückkehr von Cole in den Ring. Das Match gegen Garcia war vollkommen ok und ganz ansehnlich. Der Sieg von Cole war natürlich klar und auch richtig. Solider Abschluß einer ordentlichen Show."

[3.0] "Not one enjoyable match on this show. Very mixed booking with having Adam Cole's return match being against Daniel Garcia and working hurt. Also the Blackpool Combat Club just burying Dalton Castle & The Boys for no real reason. Ironically, they were the only entertaining part of the show with the Kenny Omega storyline and Bryan turning heel. Nothing else was enjoyable on this show, and the Ring of Honor hype was more enjoyable than this show."

[3.0] "Der Opener muss nicht so lange gehen, nur weil man danach 11, 5 Minuten Aftermath bringen möchte. Das war sehr zäh. Alex Marvez wieder irre cringe unterwegs im Interview mit Kenny. Das Video mit Acclaimed & Co ist ja völlig egal und der Aufbau für BBC (O-Ton Page) ist einfach nur noch redundant. Das Video für Omega vs. Cobb ist ok, nur interessiert mich Cobb in diesem Wrestling-Leben einfach nicht mehr. Gilt dann auch für das akzeptable Match. Es gibt wenig Angles, wo dieses Nein, doch, oh! Funktioniert, hier hat es mit Danielson nicht funktioniert. Die Gunns sind wirklich gewachsen in meiner Gunst und so geht das hier schon gut auf. OC und sein Kampf gegen die böse Seite der AEW-Midcard hat zu wenig Struktur, als dass hier irgendwas von Interesse ist. Butcher kann auch mehr, als er hier zeigt. Jade mit passender Wortmeldung. Juice liefert mal wieder feinstes Skip-Material. Die Story um Outcasts ist ähnlich redundant erzählt, wie die des BCC. Match ist passabel, aber war gefühlt mehr drin. Hobbs können sie auch Rampage-Champion nenen. Schade! Hätte ihm die größere Bühne gegönnt. Adam Cole, Bay Bay! Garcia im Ring weiterhin deutlich besser als am Mikro, aber das Match enttäuscht dann doch recht deutlich und kann eine insgesamt maue Show auch nicht mehr retten. Das Aftermath mit Britt ist ganz fein, aber Jericho. Naja, Schwamm drüber. Zähes Stück TV-Wrestling."

"This was a solid episode of dynamite with some story driven stuff being done which was nice. The matches were alright with Kenny vs. Cobb being the highlight."

[7.0] "Solid episode with some great through-lines for the stories. BCC absolutely dominated this episode, and as much as I wanted to see Dalton and the Boys, it was good heat."

[5.0] "Lahme Ausgabe von Dynamite. Es passierte nicht viel was zukünftig wichtig ist und was nicht in einen 90 sekündigen Clip bei YouTube passen würde,"

[8.0] "Good ahow. Although matches Weren't that much, only good match was omega vs cobb. But they kept the hype. They build every atories nicely. I'd love to see heel bcc. (****)"

[7.0] "Perry v Hardy was good enough as the opener. MJF and Jungle Boy segment was great. Jungle Boy has improved on the mic so much from when AEW started. The Don Callis segments were okay but unnecessary except to get him and Hangman out of the way of the BCC story later in the night. Hope Callis is okay. Speaking of the BCC was disappointed their match was so short especially with someone like Dalton Castle who is underrated in the ring. Cobb v Omega was the match of the night great match. The after-match segment with the Danielson turn was good and I generally did not know what would happen when Danielson came out part of me expected Danielson to stay face and take out the BCC and the other half did saw what was coming. Both the Cassidy/Butcher and Willow/Ruby matches had too much interference for my taste despite the competitor being really talented and having chemistry. Not too interested in the legal storylines with Jade and Taya just want to see that match. Cole v Garcia was pretty good, Cole and some rust but the crowd was hot. Highlights was the Omega match and after-match with the MJF and Jack Perry segment being a close second. Undercard matches were too similar and had too much interference in my opinion. Overall, still a good show but small changes could have been huge."

[9.0] "Finally, a story-driven AEW show. Despite the lack of an excellent match (which is most often the case with Dynamite), I thoroughly enjoyed the progressing stories throughout the roster. The BCC heel turn was especially an excellent decision in regard to the plot of the show over the next few months as it will most likely involve more than just the Elite..."

[7.0] "Overall a solid to good show that was carried more by the non-wrestling this week, including great promos by MJF and Jack Perry, Juice Robinson and the storyline developments around the BCC and the Elite as well as Jericho and Adam Cole. Wrestling-wise no match was exciting beyond belief, but everything served a purpose and was at least fine. I do have to say, though, that the commentary was a bit off. While there were again many funny moments, there are times when Excalibur goes into overdrive hype mode to easily and too often, hyping everything and everybody up to eleven based on past accomplishments without giving the important current moment time to shine. From a kaybe perspective, it's also quite jarring to see everybody be so happy about Adam Cole, who until his return in January has been a piece of shit heel for his entire stay. I would have liked a more subtle approach to this, especially since the company in other parts is way too subtle regarding storyline progression."

[7.0] "Great first hour. Kenny Omega is aiming to regain his spot as the best in the world and his match with Jeff Cobb this week is yet another example. It wasn't as great as his match last week (obviously), but it was still a really good TV match. Bryan Danielson's return and subsequent heel turn was really well-executed, as well as the BCC squash match and them attacking Hangman Page and Don Callis backstage. Callis BLED. I must say I was not expecting that at all. I'm really looking forward to Omega-Bryan II. MJF and Jack Perry had a fine exchange. Jack isn't an amazing promo, but he held his own here. I'm looking forward to the four way because I'm a fan of good wrestling, but if I wasn't, this promo probably wouldn't have sold me on it. The second hour was pretty weak at times, and the women's story is still not great despite everyone involved in it being really good at what they do. If it leads to B&G, then I may be willing to forgive the copy-paste storytelling taking place in that division at the moment. The Adam Cole return was nice, him and Daniel Garcia had a pretty solid, if unspectacular match. Cole-Jericho should be good. Ideally it's one match and Cole moves on but Jericho feuds can never be that short. They'll still be wrestling each other in August. Overall, a pretty good episode of Dynamite, I just wish the second hour was stronger."

[7.0] "MJF and Jack Perry's promo was fine yet nothing special. But I thought this was a good show due to the BCC they were awesome throughout the show, and come off more like outsiders than the actual group called the outsiders that's hilarious. The squash they had was awesome, them jumping Callis/Hangman backstage, and their jumping Kenny after his match backstage was great. Bryan turning heel was probably the highlight of all of they did on this show. Omega vs Cobb was good and easily the best match on a show filled with just fine wrestling. Also, why do they continue to copy and paste the women's segments every week?"

[7.0] "This was a major moment for Adam Cole fans. The BCC running story throughout the night was amazing and has me looking forward to the future which is what wrestling shows are supposed to do. Unfortunately there was no amazing matches, a few good ones, average one and the OC match was terrible."

[7.0] "Story heavy program with acceptable in-ring performances. Nothing great, but nothing particularly terrible. Omega/Cobb was MOTN, although it wasn't that great of a deal. Now, the storyline between The Elite and BCC it's pure gold, keep up the good work."

[7.0] "Jack Perry vs Matt Hardy was fine, the promo with MJF was the highlight though. BCC beats the crap out of Page & Callis and then destroys Dalton Castle and Boys, great stuff. Omega vs Cobb was good but nothing special, Bryan returning and then turning heel was excellent. OC had a good match with The Butcher but im ready for less OC on my show and someone else to run with the open challenge champion thing instead. Womens match was good, should have had more fire to it considering it was two former partners going at it. Not really sure why Riho is fighting for the title, but expect some outcast shenanigans in that one. Adam Cole returning was cool and a future match with Jericho is interesting but please please dont let it go until All out The BCC/Elite storyline and Four pillars stuff was the best from this episode. One of the better AEW episodes lately"

[7.0] "Ordentliche Dynamite. Die Highlights waren für mich Jeff Cobb vs. Kenny Omega und der Turn von Bryan Danielson, obwohl mir ein wenig das Herz blutet. Der BCC geht in der neuen Rolle auch komplett auf und in bester Heel Manier gehen sie mir ordentlich auf die Nerven. Hier fällt es mir leicht für die Faces zu sein. Main Event war ganz nett, ebenso der Opener und Ruby Soho vs. Willow, wobei man bei den Damen jetzt wieder etwas mehr machen darf als Face X macht den Save nach dem Match für ein anderes Face. Die Promo von MJF und Jungle Boy war auch noch ganz gut."

[6.0] "A good, yet not masterpiece of a, show. Great return by Cole, good IWGP stuff. The rest is a from good to skippable."

[6.0] "Matches were fine, MJF/Jungle Boy interaction was good. Cole's return to the ring was underwhelming and the confetti at the end was an obvious addition for the All Access show, making the finish feel forced. The Omega/Hangman developments and Bryan's heel turn were the main talking points. The show was fine, and it kept things going, but nothing wowed."

[5.0] "Very mediocre episode. Nothing really moved forward in it, except for the career of Adam Cole, perhaps. Maxwell and Jack gave a first-class promo, but everything else is gloom. Until the Combat Club gives an explanation for their behavior, it will look like a sucked attempt at making a story to me. The female plot also floats in an unknown direction. The rest was just average or not remembered at all."

[9.0] "Gesamt-Show war u.a. Dank BCC deutlich besser wie die Summe der Matches. Für meinen Geschmack die nahezu optimale Mischung von Story-Telling und Matches gefunden."

[6.0] "I'd consider this to be a slightly above average episode of Dynamite when compared with other recent episodes. The matches weren't all to my taste, but it felt a bit more eventful than usual and the show as a whole had a better flow and structure to it than it often does. There's nothing here that I'd recommend going out of your way for, but it was a fine show overall."

[7.0] "The stuff with BCC is a clear highlight of the show and something to be excited about. None of the matches were especially great but fine enough for TV. The storyline with the women is so beyond stale and repetitive you would think you are watching Raw."

[9.0] "Dynamite is back on track.Die BCC Story ist ziemlich gut und deren Darstellung. Danielson ist zum Glück wieder da und mit ihm das Stable noch mal ein Stück besser. Sehr guter Beatdown dann an Omega, nach einem überzeugenden Match gegen Jeff Cobb. Der zweite größerer Eckpfeiler der Show war MJF und Jungle Boy. Gutes Segment von beiden und Perry hat an seiner schwäche am Mic offensichtlich gearbeitet. Callis versuchte die Wogen zu glätten mit einer wohl nicht ganz so erstgemeinten Entschuldigung an Hangman um ihn um den Figer zu wickeln. Interessant, dass vorher die Frage aufkam wer die Young Bucks angegriffen hat und Hangman ist sich sicher, dass es der BCC war. Es würde auf dem ersten Blick natürlich ins Bild passen, aber es lässt noch die Hintertür offen für andere Angreifer die irgendwann später bekannt werden. Stand jetzt sieht es nach BCC aus. Schön wieder Cole aktiv zu sehen und einem tollen Ende. Jericho wird dann wohl sein nächster größerer Fehdengegner. Rest von Dynamite war ok, ohne größere Höhepunkte. AEW hat wieder gefühlt den Weg gefunden auf den man 2021 und Anfang 2022 war mit den richtigen Leuten im Fokus und einer zielgesteuerten Struktur."

[7.0] "It was a good show. No bad matches and I loved the storytelling here. MJF cut a great promo on Jack Perry who feels primed to be Max's biggest rival which I am completely behind, Another storyline I am quite looking forward to is the Bryan Danielson Vs Kenny Omega storyline and what is probably gonna be an Elite reunification against the BCC, wish Cody were here as well. The Outcast storyline is still in limbo without any real direction which is a little disappointing. Also Cole and Y2J had a staredown which is interesting. Balanced show overall and sets up future storylines nicely, however the women's division still lacks real heat."

[9.0] "Tremendous Dynamite this week. The BCC are really coming into their own as heels and the show-long story progression of them was exquisitely handled. Cobb and Omega was a great match for the IWGP US Title, OC vs The Butcher was a lot of fun, the women's match was solid and it was great to see Adam Cole back. A really high quality episode for me this week. 9/10"

[8.0] "Loving the overarching top storylines right now. That being both the brewing Elite/BCC blood feud and the MJF Four Pillars title match feud. Speaking on the latter first, despite MJF returning to "you have a small willy" by the end I think he and Jack Perry had a great promo-off, with Jack Perry showing again that when the fire is there he is a really strong promo. Managed to beat a what chant and get the crowd behind him with a good amount of heat, really enjoyed it. On the former feud, I absolutely love the BCC and absolutely love Bryan teasing helping Kenny only to knee his head right into the back of the net like prime Shearer. I'll be interested to see if they can tie it into how he was immediately following the MJF stuff or if this is just going to be "as if i'd turn on my lads lol" but either way, i'd happily watch two hours of Mox, Bryan and Claudio mugging people a week while Yuta dances about like an angry rat in the background so i'll be pretty sorted either way. I also really liked the women's match on this show. I think Ruby is an excellent wrestler and performer generally, much more convincing and entertaining heel than her other Outcast associates, and pairs very well against Willow who is really coming along in-ring and already has heaps of charisma. Was also nice to see Adam Cole back even if the match he had with Garcia was rather basic, and even if he did tease the concussion angle immediately because all wrestling is carny bollocks. Great show either way, AEW are playing a stormer with their stories right now and it's very compelling viewing. Match Ratings: Jack vs. Matt - 5.5/10, Boys vs. BCC - 5.5/10, Cobb vs. Omega - 7.5/10, Butcher vs. OC - 6/10, Willow vs. Soho - 7/10, Cole vs. Garcia - 6.5/10."

[6.0] "Ich mochte alles um den BCC, der Rest war okay aber hat mich nicht abgeholt. Gerade die vielen Heel Eingriffe in fast allen Matches war mir zu overkill."

[7.0] "Fine Dynamite. I liked the Ruby and Orange matches the best. BCC destroying folks was super cool. MJF promo was very good. Adam Cole return didn't do much for me."

[7.0] "Gunn Club coming through with the big babyface promo of the night. What absolute angels. As for the rest of the episode, it was good to ok. MOTN was always gonna be Omega/Cobb, but most of the matches were enjoyable, and again a solid night of good promo work and a through thread of story telling that's given time to breathe. Jack Perry sounded good tonight, and god dammit if MJF doesn't win me over time and time again with the way he puts over every single baby face he goes against. He's a great talker, but he's so willing to eat shit and look like a fool, and give his opponent the last laugh. Ending of the episode felt a bit off, but happy for Cole."

[7.0] "Some decent story progression, particularly with MJF/Jungle Boy, BCC vs The Elite, and the Outcasts/Hayter/Riho. The in-ring action was a mixed bag, though, with Omega vs Cobb being the only real standout match."

[9.0] "Good show. Liked the matches quite a bit, although none were the best tv matches this year which is what I hope for in terms of AEW programming. The storytelling this episode was also nice. Only major misstep was how the show ended. Teased a bit but it kind of felt flatter compared to just Jericho being more aggressive to Adam with Floyd or whatever."

[10.0] "A fun night of professional wrestling. It seems like the stories are beginning to develop for the next PPV, and every match was a lead in to the bigger story. Well, not OC versus Butcher, but that was just a fun match. Omega versus Cobb delivered, and I also think Willow Nightingale had a really good good showing. Can't wait for next week."

[9.0] "Most story-driven Dynamite in a long time. Omega v. Cobb was the in-ring highlight of the night. Nice to see Adam Cole back, hopefully he gets back into the groove of things and returns to his old self. It's all worth a watch, particularly the first hour."

[10.0] "Great Dynamite! Kenny vs Cobb was my MOTN. Loving the 4 pillar, BCC, and Outcasts stories. Willow and Ruby was great. Bryan's attack was really surprising. The crowd reaction before he hit was wild. Cole's celebration was really heart-warming and loved the Jericho tease."

[10.0] "Turn your volume up to 100! BCC vs Elite looks amazing as feud, so many potential directions and matches. MJF and JB and so natural in their roles and fit each other so well. 3 very good matches, Kenny vs Cobb was a mini-G1 match, Willow and Ruby cooked, and DG and Cole closed stronged. Very good show that moved alot of stories forward to set up the next month of AEW."
