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 […]

Getting Over: AEW Dynamite Review (12/18/19)
With Christmas falling on Wednesday of next week, this week’s episode of Dynamite effectively serves as the winter finale. A number of mini-programs and feuds have been teased over the last couple of weeks, leading to an all-hands-on-deck episode of Dynamite. Will AEW end 2019 on a roll, building off of last week’s success? Or […]

Getting Over: AEW Dynamite Review (12/11/19)
When AEW Dynamite has been at its best in its short history, the show has mixed in-ring action with professional-looking video packages and angles that build towards future shows. If that’s the benchmark, this week’s show has to be considered a pretty damn rousing success. There were multiple points throughout the December 11th episode of […]

Getting Over: AEW Dynamite Review (12/4/19)
After taking last week off for Thanksgiving, I am back and jacked to be reviewing this week’s episode of Dynamite. I certainly would have liked to have met up with you all here at our weekly Getting Over hangout, but I had a crowd of family members at my house from Wednesday night until Saturday […]

Getting Over: AEW Dynamite Review (11/20/19)
Last week, AEW put on their best Dynamite to date. The question going into this week was how they’d follow this up. With the next pay-per-view not yet on the horizon, where does the company go from here? Based on the last two weeks, the answer is largely symbolic of AEW’s philosophy as a whole: […]
