Blood & Guts!
It was a fun show, but dare I say the blood and guts match didn’t quite match my expectations, mostly due to production errors. It felt like the cameras were missing lots of important spots, which took it out of it a little bit. I get it, it’s a tough match to get everything right with how chaotic it is, just a bit unfortunate. The storyline within it was good though, BCC losing because their extras weren’t fully invested in the relationship whereas Elite is all close thus sticks together, Mox surrendering to save Yuta, showing his first ounce of humanity since joining BCC.
The tag match was fun though! My fiancé got a huge kick out of the dance-off, I appreciate how MJF is intimately familiar with the special secret disco button. Very interested to see where things go from here.
Hook/Jack was interesting. The match itself was good and Hook will seemingly always impress me, Perry needs to keep tweaking his heel persona for sure but he’s getting crazy boos in the arena so the fans are responding well to him which is good.
All in all decent show, I’m excited to see how they start to build towards All In now that we’re past Blood & Guts.
I’ve had the biggest smile on my face for every segment that has MJF and Adam Cole, I really hope they keep them together for much longer.
Great show, I think BCC is gonna go Tweener while Don builds his own faction up with Konosuke, Mox, and Jericho.
That’s a really interesting take. I’d be surprised if Mox joins Don. Can’t say I’d hate it though.
That was supposed to be Pac.
That was a phenomenal show. I wish they’d let the women actually go, though. There was only a three minute DMD squash on one of the biggest shows of the year. :/

I’m the first to want more women’s division but I’ll give it a pass this week since it was a pretty packed show with the main event.
I would love to see a women’s blood and guts match at some point though!
Next year should definitely be their time.
I don’t know why, but that dance off was way funnier to me the second time around lol.
So that “banned move list” that was making the rounds seems to be pretty thoroughly debunked, hm?
I think it was entirely real, and I vaguely recall Tony Khan himself acknowledging it, it’s just that it’s more of codifying rules they’ve informally had for a long time and that there’s no shortage of exceptions made for the talent they trust. Anyone thinking it would significantly affect the on-screen product like a night and day difference was out to lunch for sure.
My wife sat through that whole show and her one comment as it went off air: if Kota and Hangman ever formed a tag team they’d be Kote-Hanger
Now I want it
Garcia’s dance was picked up by a non-wrestling meme page the other day, looks like they all decided to lean into it hard. And I’m glad they did. I love that there was a dance off on the same show as that main event.
That was an amazing episode of Dynamite
