Welcome to the Busted Open podcast. This is Dave LaGrecca on today's episode myself bully Ray and Tommy Dreamer talk all about AEW Dynamite and a tale of two promos one MJF and Samoa Joe the other

Swerve Strickland all that right now on the Busted Open podcast.

I like the show last night for a couple of different reasons one is the pacing of the show much slower letting things breathe especially when it came to MJF and Samoa Joe and I love the fact that it was really about the promos and what was happening verbally on the microphone.

Then even actually the matches that were taking place I thought some good storytelling on the show last night and I thought the pacing was very good bully. What did you think?

You know what since I kind of rattled off on after dark last night had first crack at it. I'll give Tommy the first crack this morning and you can hear Busted Open dark every Wednesday immediately after Dynamite. Go ahead Tommy.

I enjoyed the show as well. Yes every there is no perfect show. I did enjoy it. I was a little worried.

I'm more worried about today than yesterday because of the positioning of the main event the people that were in it and then because everybody seems to always want to go the negative about ratings. I don't give two shits about ratings.

But where like AEW is where they were and where they're going. I really did enjoy the show. The highlight for me was Joe and MJF as well as like you know we were joking before but like orange Cassidy has just become this very very big star in by what he's a gimmick that could work.

And overall I did enjoy the show bully.

First 45 minutes I thought dragged a bit. It didn't really feel like a dynamite as a matter of fact whether the one of the first notes that I wrote down last night was this product is lost and lacks direction.

And then the MJF and Joe thing happened. I thought the second half of the show is better than the first half, although I did like the tag match with Jericho and Sammy versus Aussie open. I don't think because of the misdirection that happened. I don't know why they wouldn't put Aussie open over last night would have been a good win for them.

As I said a couple of weeks ago when the Jericho appreciation society broke up if anybody is going to survive this breakup. It's going to be Sammy and Sammy is still sharing the spotlight with Jericho good for Sammy not so good for the rest of the JAS.

Samoa Joe and Max Max comes out cut your good promo obviously that's what Max does.

Joe's music hit.

Guys the minute Joe's music hit I was reminded of an old catchphrase from an old friend.

The catchphrase was the mood is about to change. Obviously the catchphrase was is from Taz.

When Joe came out there I felt the whole mood changed. I saw a credible challenger to MJF's World Heavyweight Championship.

Not that Adam Cole wasn't credible. We're not that anybody else hasn't been credible but there's just something different about Joe.

Joe has that Taz 96 97 98 feel which is just it's just this feeling that Joe can take you out at any given moment.

Joe being bigger than Max Joe being a heavyweight that can really bring it to Max.

Just it just felt good watching them stand in the ring together then we get the back and forth on the microphone.
