Still recovering from a nasty cold that has left me mostly bed-ridden overnight, but well enough to move around at least. I’m mostly doing this from my laptop, so I haven’t touched a proper machine yet.
In any event, Dynamite aired last night for some reason and I decided to give it a watch. Dubbed Title Tuesday, it featured one title match – TBS Champion Mercedes retaining over Emi Sakura in a fairly pedestrian match. There was also a four-way match that saw Willow Nightingale earn a Women’s title shot, a match between two masked dudes that was… a thing that happened, and the main event tag match between Bryan/Yuta and Claudio/PAC that was fun while it lasted, but did not leave much of an impact in terms of interest in this upcoming PPV.
Honestly, a lot of this show was just a blank slate afterwards. Is this the kind of show you put on as the go-home for your PPV this weekend… or is this the kind of show you put when you’ve been pre-empted and you realize more people are going to watch the new NXT on CW show instead? Because this certainly feels more like the latter.
Either way, it’s more people watching this than whoever is watching Billy Corgan’s NWA show on the CW app.
P.S. – Apparently Daniel Garcia also came out and announced that he re-signed with AEW… and the crowd went mild… oops.
