Let me go quiz, of course, on WrestleCulture. As I said, they're joined by Michael Sidwick for a review last night's episode of AEW Dynamite.

And Tony Khan does know all in's in a month, right?

I was just mystified and bored watching this to be perfectly honest. Usually I, one way or the other,

whether it's just completely chaotic, completely brilliant, or completely all over the shop.

I'm full of takes, and opinions, and emotions for AEW Dynamite.

I bet he got a tweet out this morning saying, like, I usually like to do a couple of tweets about AEW Dynamite.

It's like a preview for the podcast and, you know, because it's the game of Twitter, I kind of needed for my career.

I just struggled. I just struggled. I absolutely struggled to form any cohere and thought about the content.

Um, this is just so weird, man. Like, people wanted ahead of last night's show, real firm direction for all in.

Yes. People want to be excited for this show. People want to be excited about what is literally the biggest show in AEW history.

I came away from this Dynamite, if anything, feeling the opposite of hype, because people wanted firm storyline direction, maybe even a match are to set.

Um, and instead they got a stylistically homogenized card of action that never really reached the peaks that each match was capable of.

I'm watching four high spot driven matches, like this embodied the cliche of what bad faith podcasters say about this show at times.

And it's a general point because I can't really talk that. It's not the best leading for a pod. I'm sorry, but it's a general point.

I'm just wondering what's going on in this company. I've said all along with the advent of collision and the fact that certain political situations haven't been worked out.

The main feeling I get from AEW this year is, it's all bittersweet. It's all bittersweet. It's not what it could be as political reasons, not creative for that.
