So AEW Revolution is this weekend, my friends, which means we all had to sit down and watch AEW down and Mike.

0:05.2

That's right, we had to. It's like a law. I imagine some people would not be able to handle that. But it is a big deal for a professional wrestling show, because you want to make sure we're all like, oh my gosh. I have to tune in. Otherwise, I won't know what happens in my stories, which begs a simple question. Hello, by the way, my name is Simon Mill. I'm a bald, wrestling, idiot, and I have the finger of power, and I'm going to give the good

0:24.0

bits and up and the bad bits of down for this episode of Dynamite. If you don't agree with me, you can tell me in the comments, and if you do, we can meet up, and I will share a donut. But sounds good, let's go.

0:33.7

Now, of course, John Moxie v. DeKesta is a huge match that is going down at Revolution with no time limit,

0:38.8

which technically means it could go on to 47 hours. But because Moxie is friends with Claudia Castignoli, and DeKesta is in the Don Callis family, Echi Cerro, Tony Khan went, we can do a big old tag team much. Although given how Claudia won, it wouldn't surprise me if Claudio and Echi have a match at Revolutional 2. Now my favourite part to order this is that John Moxie was so damn over. He got a megapop during his entrance as he did when he did tag in, but Tekechester got a similar reaction and later on too, Tcha was kind of saying to the Don Callis family, I will not abide by your terrible ways anymore, which probably means on Sunday John Moxie will win, but only because Dekech is going to get screwed over by the Don Callis family, and then maybe Moxie and Dekech to even team up, and sometimes my former enemy that is now my friend should become my tag team partner. Something like that, I mean, John Moxie doesn't need any more friends. He hangs out with the Death Ryder's a life. Eiji Sarah during this as well and at one point he caught Claudio with their head scissors where the death riders just beat him up in the corner and eventually DeKestro said he got the hot tag and he hit the least devastating move in all the sports entertain with the Blue Thunderball. It didn't work. Of course it didn't. It never does. Absolutely love Claudio Castignolis to get uppercuts too. They do make me happy. And at one point he got Etchicero too and gave him the big swing. I've said this a thousand times, but I will say it 1001. Claudio may be the most underrated wrestler in all of professional wrestling today. I mean, what can't he do? When was the last time you saw him a bad match?

2:01.1

Also, he's bald. It gets extra points for me. There we go so crazy that one point, Echiserra, almost ran into the referee, and I love this finish, because I didn't see it coming, and blessed Brian Danielson for selling it, but actually turned around, Gario poked him in the eye when he used the most devastating move. In all of sports entertainment surprise roll-up. he got the one, two, three, and Taroni Shavani said to Danielson, are you surprised by that finish? And Brian went, well, you know, Claudio does have a great roll-up. Some of the best time. This is when Lance Archer and Mark Davis from the Don Callis family ran down. They'd be everybody up, including Marina Jaffir, but essentially they were able to get

2:35.2

John Moxley into a bad position and they said to Dekhester, you should use these lovely weapons we've got for you to destroy your person. Dakesha said, I will not do that because I must beat him by myself, all without wounds that I caused on Wednesday. Don Callis has absolutely livid as well, or at least hinted that way. So again, I would imagine the days for the Keshti and the Don Callis family are numbered, but it is about time. I'm just going to give it up. I mean, I'm pumped for John Moxie versus DeKeshta, but also when Clario gets to win, makes me for warm and fuzzy in my tum-tum. also just such a solid match right you could watch and go oh my gosh they really know what they're doing

3:10.8

brady m McKett was then with Willow Nightingale and Persephone, because Pesfine had just become the CMLL Women's Champion, and because they both beat Mercedes-Monnais, they were like, woo-hoo, we beat Monet, and Persephone was like, well, I bet I hit harder than you. Even Willow's like, that's a weird

3:25.3

thing to say, but I will see you in the ring in about 10 seconds. Before that too, though, we cut to Don Callis and Carl Fletcher when MGF walked in. He said, listen to me, Kyle. I need you to beat up that karate kid who's talking about Mike Bailey, because last week he punched me in the face. Now, car was like, excuse me, I don't listen to you, what's going on. And even though MGF and Don

3:42.8

Cattle kind of buddy buddy, face. Now Carl was like, excuse me, I don't listen to you, what's going on? And even though MGF and Don Cald were kind of buddy-buddy, once again,

3:44.6

Fletch was like, are you kidding me, mate? I'll be working for that guy, and Don Cali's like, no, we have nothing to do with him. But it wouldn't surprise me if this was a wink-wink, wink, that's done to down the line. You'd have to imagine that Carl also leaves the Don Callis family

3:56.3

one day and goes, babyface. It's not like he hasn't challenged for the world title before, so we

4:00.4

wait and see. And also, Carl Fletcher is that tall. I have worked shows with Carl Fletcher. He's like a legit six four. He may even be an inch taller. When we went right into Carl Fletcher versus Mike Bailey, and I don't know what to tell you, Do you remember last year when they had a match? It was like aliens had come down from a planet and shown us this new way to do the grappling. Well, they just did it again. There's no way can describe this to you, and I understand it's not for everybody. But in terms of work grade or effort, or just going out there and proving, you have power in your titsy toes.. I thought this was absolutely fantastic. They just have incredible chemistry and the crowd was going nuts for this. And what Don Callis did say on commentary, we kept having members of the family come out and then they went away again because once again we were kind of insisting that Carl Fletcher wants to do it by himself. But actually it turned out to be a ruse, because later of all we got distraction central.

4:48.7

There was just so many cool moments though, that there was his countout tease, there was this absolutely ridiculous German suplex. A moot sold into the floor, a lawn dart, into the tina the turnbuckle, because why wouldn't you do that? And this absolutely massive lichen bomb from Carl Fletcher, and this is when I was going through my wrestling move book going they don't have any more maneuvers to do they've done every single

5:06.0

whatever it was also this excellent one to after adventure time or time adventure, whatever the flood Mike Bailey calls that. And honestly, the fans and myself were so into this, I think we all bought it. Even though I was sat in my chair at home, I still went, I can't believe it. I definitely did make that noise.

5:20.9

I need to see a doctor. This is when a car and a must have panicked, he ran down with the screwdriver, which did count as a distraction, because actually what was going to go on is that Mark Davis was going to run in with the trio's title. He passed at the Carl Fletcher. Now listen, Carl did not hesitate at all here. He wore him Mike Bailey in the head. He gave him the brain buster. He got

5:37.7

the one, two, three. So yeah, he's not going to be leaving the Don Callis family any time soon. But I just love the fact he was like, man, this guy's giving me a hard time. I'm 100% going to be a dickhead. He also actually made me mad, right? Because this match was so good. I was like, you dog call his family. I can't believe you took this away from me.

5:53.7

Although Ricardo turned into M. Bison. He was all like,

5:55.9

ha ha ha ha. I did it again as if he was Britney Spears. It doesn't just get it up. It gets a golden up. This is purely focused on what I saw in the ring. But if people are going to bring it to this level, I would feel bad. I would feel irresponsible. If I didn't praise it as much as I could, once again, I know,

6:11.1

because people always melt down about this. It may not be the wrestling match for you, but thank Flumans, we live in a world where it does exist. This is absolutely phenomenal. In turn now, we're going to have a standby match. I'm always going to give it down to a standby match in the middle of a show, because how can you know you need a standby match? What if the last segment goes 47 hours?

6:29.4

Then you're really going to regret having that standby match.

6:31.4

But to a standby match in the middle of a show because how can you know you need a standby match? What if the last segment goes 47 hours? Then you're really going to get having that standby match. But it did tie into an angle. And thank goodness we did do this because it is Swirth Strictor versus Brody King. On Sunday, you have to promote it a little bit. Now Brody started by cutting a promo said Swerve, I'm going to kill you when he was taking on some guy. Nobody told what this guy was, but Matherly King killed him with a larynx. He gave him the gonzo bomb and he beat about 10 seconds. He was then slapping the fan's hands and all of a sudden a masked fan and there is no way this was not a wink, wink, nudge, but it may giggle when ha ha! It's not really a masked man. It is me Swarth Strickland. And he was flipping choking.
