Dynamite Review 02/23/2022 - Main Eventer Dan Garcia

Wednesday and Wrestling Brain, they're synonymous at this point.
The Sword & Shield are here for another week to offer up a full rundown of the latest episode of AEW Dynamite, ripe with gracious helpings of both Josh Bait and Zubes Bait.
In the ring, a tag team battle royal delivered a layered opening match as well as one of two contenders for the tag team titles at Revolution. MJF let loose some special words that subverted a the norms of what we're used to in a wrestling promo, Death Triangle and House of Black lumber their way into a new arrival segment, Eddie Kingston went mic-to-mic with Chris Jericho, Ricky Starks qualifies for the Face of the Revolution Ladder Match, and Jade retains against The Bunny.
The main event was the hopeful first in a series of events connecting Bryan Danielson and Dan Garcia. We also had a match made between Danielson and Mox for the PPV, as well as promo time for Matt Lee.
What a great world we live in sometimes.

Dynamite Review 02/09/2022 - Limitless Breath

This is just how good the show is now, folks.
The Sword & Shield are here to serve up a full review of one of the best episodes of AEW Dynamite to date. So much incredible stuff happens, wow, there's so much to get to so let's get right to it.
The show opens with MJF celebrating his win over CM Punk in Chicago, furthering the ever so slow burn for Wardlow and setting up a tag team match with FTR against Punk and a partner of his choosing. While we speculate on who will join Punk, we get AEW debuts from Jay White, and Keith Lee, who looks like he could throw most of the roster into the sun with one hand. Punk chooses Big Mox to team up with, and the result is a barn-burner show-stealing tag classic in the middle of Dynamite. Jade Cargill fits in a quick defense, Serena Deeb completes the first 5 Minute Challenge, and then Hangman Page brings the show home with a main even deathmatch against Lance Archer that hits some bloody highs with plenty of chaos.
Elsewhere, we get an Inner Circle team meeting with a murky conclusion, continued development of the distance between Adam Cole and the Bucks, and whispers of Pentagon Dark.

Beach Break Review 01/26/2022 - Very Nice Very Evil Very Wrestling Brain

Wednesdays with Wrestling Brain. It's just the right thing.
Can you feel the heat of Beach Break? From the tropical shores of Cleveland comes a night of pro wrestling, with thrills and daring spots all over the place.
Dynamite opened this week with a ladder match to unify the TNT Championship, even though that's not really how interim championships work, but nevertheless it was Cody vs Sammy in a match that came with a highlight reel of spots. CM Punk and MJF set a match date after another promo battle, GFY Jericho and PnP had a trios tilt with Wrestling Brain darlings 2.0 and Daniel Garcia, Wardlow stacked two local talents, while Orange Cassidy and Adam Cole turned the lights off in the main.
A good Dynamite, all things considered. Hell, I just love watching TV, you know?

Ohhhh buddy this one is a wild one.
Join the A E Double Dudes on Wrestling Brain this week to review a whopper of an AEW Dynamite with an off-the-wall edition of the podcast. Comedian and Wrestler Review co-host Dylan Gott joins briefly to talk about Hobbs and big guys who might let you cuck them.

All that and more, plus about five drinks of brandy in this one, sorry Nasty Casties, but The Zubes had a few and came out swinging. Left it all in so you can enjoy because it woulda been insane to edit around.
