I am not making two threads for the week. The one hour show tonight is so random. I guess because they did not know whether it would air this week or last week so they could not plan accordingly

Opener to Late Night Dynamite between Scorpio Sky and Ben Carter was a ton of fun. This Carter kid reminds me of Pac before he got all jacked. Definitely has a ton of potential. 

Anna Jay and Brandi had a match far better than it had any right to be. I would have put over Jay clean though, without needing any Dark Order interference or eating a visual pinfall

Lance has COVID and hopefully recovers soon, but this match should be bonkers. Stunning how having a roster full of over characters not buried to death can help with booking your way out of unexpected potholes.

Lance Archer announced on Twitter that he's tested positive for Covid. Bad for him obviously but it also sucks for Will Hobbs, who was going to be in that six man tag tonight. It would have been a hot match.

But they're doing Moxley vs Eddie Kingston for the title instead so that's a great replacement.

Fuck me, Miro is JACKED. Clearly not having to take wellness tests is working out for him.

Fuck. I think Miro’s really hurt. 
 

edit: Well, maybe not. I hope that was just really good selling or like a Charlie horse or something. 

Kingston is so fucking good on the mic, it is genuinely amazing

The promos on the show have been excellent so far, but the matches have been meh. Hopefully this match changes that

Eww dark haired Cody. 

Oh fuck yeah a dog collar match! I was going to say shades of Piper-Valentine Starrcade 1983, but I think Dusty had not started booking JCP by then. That was still Dory's booking

Matt is stumbling all over his words. He should not be on TV. He should be at home. He should be retired. Wtf Tony Khan.

That said, Jericho saying "Happy birthday Matt! Who gives a shit" was amazing

Kingston with the Kawada colours

Extremely weird episode of Dynamite. I wouldn't call it bad, and I don't even blame them at all given Lance's test came out of nowhere, but it seemed extremely rushed, even the segments that had already been booked last week. 

First hour was really rough to watch, until the TNT title match. Cody's dyed hair job looked like it had just been freshly done or something.

Props to Thunder Rosa for the Animal homage face paint. 

According to fightful, multiple talents tested positive for covid that were at the early .September tapings which led to the disjointed show last night.

Ben Carter announced he got a positive covid test, which is pretty much on par for 2020.

There are a lot more AEW and indies COVID positives kind of annoyed how few went public today.

We seem to know that the current WWE outbreak comes from a party that an NXT talent threw recently but I really wonder how this one happened for AEW.

It wasn't the case of one person spreading it. The current AEW/WWE/indie outbreak was a disaster on several levels and directions bore out of complacency and ignorance. From Florida based people going to bars/socialising maskless to vans of wrestlers from out of State coming in to wrestle for AEW Dark. 

Also on a standard wrestling card a referee "the third man" can pass it on to a lot of people if anyone is infected.

Per Meltzer, Brodie-Cassidy was a big ratings hit. Brodie-Dustin did really well in the quarters as well. This Brodie reign has clearly been a success. I know Cody just returned, but I would still keep the title on Brodie and ultimately have Hangman beat him for it.

I get how they should come forward so anyone they worked with can be aware,  but you can't force anyone to reveal their status and companies can't out anyone without getting into a world of legal shit.

Why not use Cody vs Brodie to trigger Cody's rumored heel turn to join Tully & FTR? And like you said, Hangman's road to redemption could start by beating Brodie for the TNT title.
