I don't know how it has taken me this long to write about the events of last week on Dynamite when the first former WWE stars arrived in AEW. For years the former Revival have claimed that they are the best tag team in wrestling with only the Young Bucks fighting back the claim. Dax and Cash are one of many stars that were underrated in the WWE and now that they have a new home it is time for them to step up. Since the start of All Elite it seems like the Young Bucks have been booked similar to Cody in a way to make them seem less over hyped. 

The one thing I don't know if I agree with is if they wanted to figure this in down the road instead of doing right out of the gate. At the same time I think getting this marquee match of the way to begin with could be the right thing to do. Overall though Dax Hardwood and Cash Wheeler's names are more similar to porn stars then wrestlers and they could've picked better names to start with. Either way though it amazing to see them in a place where they might be taken seriously. 

On the most edition of Dynamite we were treated a battle royal where the winner would get a future title shot against Cody at a later date. Even though seeing MJF and Cody write another chapter of their unfinished rivalry it might be to soon to move back to that feud right now. I disagree that Wardlow and Luchasaurus even having the small fight they should've kept holding it off, but tossing Billy Gunn into the equation creates an interesting idea. 

At this point, only MJF has been able to breakthrough since Dynamite kicked off back in October so seeing AEW shift the focus to another youngster is a welcome sight. Next to MJF the only person that has shown breakthrough potential is Jack Perry. Perry has tremendous potential and has been having an amazing 2020 so far with his matches against MJF as a glimpse into the future for AEW's main event scene. At only 23 though Jungle Boy's got a very bright future ahead of him. In my opinion, giving Jungle Boy a match with Cody will just give him another chance to grow as a performer and stay on track to become the star we are seeing grow in front of us. 

These two legends gave us a sight that I for one never thought I'd see, because Arn Anderson had been behind the camera with WWE since 2001 and Jake Roberts hadn't been on television consistently in wrestling since the 1990's. They might not have had free range and this might not have been the full segment it was definitely intense though. At their peak Anderson and Roberts were two of the best on the microphone and even though they might still be better then most stars of today they have lost a step. 

I don't think I'd pay to see Arn Anderson in the ring against Jake Roberts no matter how long it's been since Arn was able to wrestle. There is no real need for a match of any kind to take place between these two legends and they should just be sticking to things like this now cause that is the best way they can benefit AEW. In my opinion, trying to get anything more out of these legends would be overkill and unneeded for the company. I enjoyed the segment, because you can feel the tension and to a point you could think that Jake hates Anderson and Cody which is the point of this type of thing. 

It's a lot to take in in a small amount of time as AEW split the normal weekly hype video between building up Dynamite and the upcoming Double or Nothing event. One major takeaway from Dynamite is that two of the best around will come face to face in the ring for the first time in a very very long time when Arn Anderson and Jake Roberts come face to face. I honestly had no idea that Double or Nothing was taking place this weekend or at all for that matter. 

​However, I'm extremely excited that MJF will be once again colliding with Jungle Boy as the two men tore down the house in February and I'm sure they will have the chance to do it once again. They should amazing chemistry and I am very happy that the match will have some build and they didn't just toss it on the show just, because of how good the match was two months ago. I still think there is money with Wardlow and Luchasaurus but that's down the road sometime. I don't know how I feel about Moxley vs The Dark Order due to Brodie debuting pretty recently and Moxley just finishing a feud with the Inner Circle where the numbers game was a center focus of the feud. Overall AEW rarely disappoints on go home shows even if the PPV doesn't always live up to expectations. 

With the current issues that the WWE is suffering from with the last series being among one of the worst in the franchise. Someone chose to rush the game out to make sure that they would have a game arrive last year and it was a mistake. Though some might not agree there are a variety of reasons that WWE 2K20 will change the yearly installment mantra for WWE and will likely be the end of that franchise for now at least. It really was hit or miss every year since the start of the 2K brand and they never really took the shot to make it even better year to year. 

Last year we heard about the idea that All Elite Wrestling would be pitching around the idea for a video game which is shocking knowing the amount of love that Kenny Omega and Young Bucks have for the video game industry. At this point not much is known about the game other than that it will be happening and will make use of the AKI game engine which is the same engine that was used for No Mercy and Wrestlemania 2000 back in THQ years. 

Recently, Cody made it clear that the video game will take a lot of time to complete as they want to make the best game possible. In a quote taken from a sescoops.com article Cody mentions the game "He continued, “Game development is arduous, it’s a very creative space, and we want to do it right. We will keep people updated, it won’t come as a surprise, we want them to take the journey with us. Be extra patient so we can deliver.”" for the full article click here!

I loved the start to this episode with QT showing the "ignorance" of non Star Wars fans by making a Star Trek mess up. Shida playing the piano was also a welcome addition to getting a little more depth for one of the many wrestlers that haven't been given the spotlight. This was the first time I bore witness to Dr. Luther and I really don't know anything about him, but I will say the same thing about him as I did about Jimmy Havoc's promo's we need highlights of this on Dynamite to really understand his background and his past. 

As far as TH2 or The Hybrid Two have been flying under the radar recently and this the first time I've heard Jack Evans speak. These two really do believe their gimmicks and they have embraced the heel turn for the team. It feels like they are telling a different story, but with the same idea that they did with MJF. I feel like if they shift the focus to the develop of an identity for QT Marshall and make him more than just a lackey for Cody and teammate of Dustin that would help him all the more in the long run. 

The TNT Championship tournament has been a sleeper for an unexpected great crop of television during a tough time for society. Seeing the history retold between Cody and Darby it shows that their past matches were important and worth remembering. I also like the fact that they talk about how Dustin's shock decision to question his career and losing would've effected QT and Brandi as they have become a trio. Instead of ignoring a questionable decision they addressed it to allow everyone to make sense of the situation. 

Starting with the TNT Championship and ending with the TNT Championship shows how important the championship is being portrayed. Dustin putting the title over as the most important thing in his career and an honor for him to earn the achievement. One thing that I've had a problem with is that AEW hasn't given enough time to the unproven stars is that they need to show more character and get attention from the audience. This sit down with Tony was very personal and a little real or legit it felt like it gave Darby another layer it felt a little more serious. Darby showed a new side to his career a little more darker more quite it's like the only saying goes when everyone is yelling it's your turn to speak. 

The tournament continues with Kip Sabian vs Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara vs Darby Allin being the next group of matches for the tournament it could be an interesting step forward. I've become a fan of Sammy, Darby, and Kip since the start of AEW they've grown on me as talent I had never seen these three before AEW gave them a shot. It's a tournament like this that helps guys like Sammy, Darby and others the chance to prove themselves. 

At this point, I think that Kip is one of the few that still need to prove himself as Darby and Sammy are nearing the "you've proven yourself, but need to keep moving forward phase." I still think it's to early to tell who will take the win in the tournament, but after this week the tournament could take an interesting turn with Cody fighting either Sammy or Darby in the next second round and Dustin questioning retirement if he can't beat Kip. Though this type of booking might not be complicated it doesn't have to be cause the simple sometimes works the best in wrestling partially, because promotions go to the simple nowadays. 

A few weeks ago an announcement came down that AEW will be introducing a new championship called the TNT Championship. To make it clear Cody mentioned that it was Warner Media who asked AEW to introduce this title the way they did. In reality the TNT Championship is just the television title with a different name, but also calling it the TNT Championship makes it more unique. Going back to their first meeting at All Out I was one of the few who thought that Cody and Shawn would have a long feud based on the tension and intensity that existed between them heading into All Out, but it was one and done until now. 

As for Lance Archer and Jake Roberts, I for one have always thought that Jake's promo were hit or miss, but that he would've made a great manager. There's no doubting that Jake has fought it all in his life and came out the other side and that he has been ignored for the most part until now, but this is his chance to show what fans have been missing. Archer has proven himself in New Japan and still is continuing to prove himself outside of the tag team division. For years Archer had been one of the forgotten after his run in WWE it's like he fell off the map. Now after honing his craft in New Japan he's back to prove himself again in front of his home crowd and if his match last week against Marko showed anything it proved how dangerous he can be when he's unleashed. Let the Tournament Begin!!! 

For months we have heard from Cody that All Elite Wrestling was working on a new championship to go along with the AEW World Title. In that time it has lead to plenty of questions about the type of championship that AEW would introduce as Cody has often insisted it shouldn't be looked at as a "mid-card title." The fact is I've always been a massive of the television championship and feel like it became a piece of wrestling's past for no good reason. Now with the introduction of the TNT Championship we have the TV Title with a modern twist to it. 

I have been saying for months that one of my main criticisms of AEW was that they have a lot of guys that the fans have never met before and really don't push the "getting to know you aspect" for the unknown talent like they should. With the introduction of this title thought it will allow names like Darby Allen, Sammy Guevara, Jungle Boy, MJF, and various others to have the spotlight some weeks and continue their respective developments on a more consistent basis. I've been saying that AEW should hype AEW Dark more on the show especially if it's already taped before Dynamite, because then you can show highlights on the Wednesday show. 

All we know at this point is that part of the bracket for the upcoming tournament will be announced later tonight on AEW Dark and then the rest of the bracket will be announced tomorrow on Dynamite. I for one have always been a major fan of tournaments, because they're intriguing and in the bigger picture could lead an interesting feud or two down the road depending on how the tournament goes. Either way AEW continue to keep fans guessing in the best ways possible.
