0:00.0	What's going on guys? This is your AW Dynamite review for Wild Card Wednesday. Today is May 18,
0:06.5	2022. I am the Solomon. So I want to thank you for choosing me for your Dynamite coverage here as
0:12.5	we prepare for double or nothing, which is now less than two weeks away. The big paper view coming
0:17.7	up in Vegas tonight pushed us that much closer to the finals of the Owen Hart tournaments,
0:23.6	both on the men's side and the women's side. Tonight was a come down a little bit from last week's
0:28.8	show. This was not as strong of an episode of Dynamite as what we got last week, but there was some
0:34.4	really good wrestling on the show. Also, a lot of, I think the pacing and the timing was very
0:40.7	off. It was very apparent by the end of the show they were rushing to get through that main event.
0:45.6	We didn't have much of a main event on this show. They didn't really leave a whole lot of time
0:49.5	for Adam Cole against Jeff Hardy in the semi-finals of the Owen Hart tournament, but we did find out

1:15.8	I'm going to be waiting a little bit longer because he was not the joker on the men's side tonight.
1:20.8	It was a former WWE star. It was Johnny Elite. Not the Johnny you may be thinking of. I think
1:27.9	there was a little bit of confusion initially when he first came out. When the name Johnny Elite
1:32.9	appeared up on the screen, people thought maybe it was Johnny Gargano. It was not Johnny Gargano.
1:38.0	It was John Morrison, who was released from WWE many months ago, making his AEW debut tonight
1:46.7	over on the women's side. If you're waiting for Athena, a Texas native, I knew it wasn't her because
1:54.4	she was live on her Twitch. Earlier this evening, taking live questions from home from fans. At
2:00.0	least I knew coming into the show tonight not to expect her to be the joker. It was not her
2:05.9	and it was not Taya Valkyrie because I think a lot of people who saw John Morrison come out just
