Getting Over: AEW Dynamite Review (3/25/20)
This week was supposed to be AEW’s version of War Games, the wonderfully titled “Blood & Guts.” Because of the coronavirus pandemic, that has understandably and unfortunately been delayed. Tony Kahn issued a statement explaining this decision: “Our goal every week with AEW Dynamite on TNT is to produce great shows for our fans, and […]

Getting Over: AEW Dynamite Review (3/18/20)
Let’s start with the obvious: Things are massively screwed up right about now. With the Coronavirus sweeping across the globe, events the world over have been cancelled. Of course, that’s the least of our concerns, really, as people are dying and the rest of us are basically quarantined. As such, we’re left in a strange […]

Getting Over: AEW Dynamite Review (3/4/20)
With AEW Revolution now in the rearview, I found myself very curious as to the direction AEW would go now. The matches and feuds at Revolution had been meticulously built for months. To continue them after that pay-per-view would cheapen, in some ways, what happened at Revolution. However, for many of the programs, there was […]

Getting Over: AEW Dynamite Review (2/26/20)
Coming off of three straight excellent shows, this week’s Dynamite had the unenviable task of delivering a knock-out go-home show, especially given that last week’s show was so great and felt like a perfect lead-in to a pay-per-view. Last week, we were treated to a tag team battle royal to determine the number one contenders […]

Getting Over: AEW Dynamite Review (2/19/20)
1984 Mid-South Wrestling is considered by many to be some of the best episodic wrestling television ever produced. Available on the WWE Network, 1984 Mid-South still holds up excellently even today, nearly 40 years later. Why? The matches were good to great, the episodes built programs week-to-week, and the company gave fans characters to care […]

Getting Over: AEW Dynamite Review (2/12/20)
I gushed over last week’s Dynamite episode and rightly so. The storytelling was top-notch, giving fans some wrestling meat to sink their teeth into. This week, the build towards Revolution, now just a couple of short weeks away, truly kicked into high gear. If last week’s Dynamite was a great show, then I barely have […]

Getting Over: AEW Dynamite Review (2/5/20)
When I started writing about AEW and Dynamite specifically, I didn’t really just want to write another recap of a wrestling show. There’s plenty of those. I’m a lot more interested in what makes a wrestling show work. That’s where the title Getting Over came from. How does a company, starting almost completely from scratch, […]

Getting Over: AEW Dynamite Review (1/29/20)
With a month before AEW’s next pay-per-view, I’ve sort of had to recondition myself as a fan. For so long, wrestling fans have been treated to, like clockwork, a major show every month, allowing for a fairly quick four week or so build. I’m sure AEW will eventually succumb to this model, but currently they’re […]

AEW Dynamite Review (1/22/20)
On the surface, gimmick episodes of a weekly wrestling show somehow sound both perfectly fitting and possibly one step too far. Last week, we had the “Bash at the Beach” episode, although AEW didn’t really take advantage of the gimmick in any meaningful way outside of the branding and a well-placed lifeguard. This week, everything […]
