Unfortunately, the last few weeks, we’ve been missing that feeling, with Dynamite relegated to Saturdays, lending a disjointed feel to AEW’s weekly shows. Thankfully, AEW is back in its rightful slot, […]

    Getting Over: The AEW Weekly Stock Report

    Right before AEW’s latest pay-per-view All Out, I wrote that it was the perfect time to start watching AEW. That, in fact, we could be witnessing the wrestling business change in front of our very eyes: AEW is hot, no two ways about it. They’ve consistently hit a million viewers on their flagship Dynamite show since mid-July, […]

    This is a week that AEW has been building towards for months, as the company presents two shows that, on paper, look to be in contention for the strongest in company history, certainly in terms of in-ring matchups.

    Coming on the heels of All Out, an almost instantly historic show reported to have done well over 200,000 pay-per-view buys, AEW was tasked with capitalizing on that momentum with last week’s Dynamite and Rampage shows. With intrigue in the company at an all-time high, the 9/8 Dynamite was watched by over 1.3 million viewers […]

    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 (1/8/20)

    Flying high after a much needed kid-free vacation to Cancun, I return to recap this week’s edition of AEW Dynamite. Similarly, AEW returned to soaring heights last week, drawing 900k viewers in a New Year’s Day episode that erased the sour taste left by the winter finale. That episode successfully teased the fate of The […]

    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 […]
