Final Thoughts
What a couple of weeks it’s been for AEW! There’s a lot of exciting stuff happening in their orbit, and tonight we have another branded edition of Dynamite. I’m most looking forward to the young talent being featured this week (The Acclaimed, Top Flight, whoever Shida is squashing) and think that the in-ring time on AEW Dark is really starting to payoff for the company and wrestlers both. For example, after last week’s show, I went back and watched the Bucks/Private Party tag team tournament match and there has been a HUGE improvement in almost every aspect of Private Party’s work, which I (maybe mistakenly, so correct me if I’m wrong) attribute to their near-weekly appearances on Dark. We’re seeing a lot of raw talent come in and get a chance to develop with access to ring time and veterans that they never had on the indies and I love it.
