Sad thing is, this was a fairly good episode of Dynamite overall. But the Swerve presentation was such a letdown that it made it difficult for me to enjoy the rest of the show. And I was really excited to watch tonight. Swerve isn't about pomp and circumstance. He's about business. It was perfect. I just think he should've been given a chance to say something to the audience. I think they made him look like "just a guy" tonight.

Positives The ending segment. I agree with Cairo it was a throwback and I very much enjoyed the unexpectedness of it all. The Elite are scorching hot now as heels. And you’re having Omega returning? Hangman could be with him.
Chuck Taylor’s boyhood dream of saying Shit on TNT was achieved
Shibata is in love with Renee (what a way that’d be to get to Mox vs Shibata?)
Ospreay winning a chaotic gauntlet
I’ll never put anything Mina Shirakawa does in the Negative
Stokely, Stat & Willow
Negatives Swerve should’ve been presented as a World Champion with a dominating win and not an evenly back and forth match. We also should’ve said we’d learn his challenger for the PPV on Collision, not next week
Hobbs potentially getting a serious knee injury
Not knowing anything about what turned into a star studded Gauntlet ahead of time. You could’ve announced the competitors
Mercedes promos continue to be WWE and they’re awful

Oh my God I forgot Mina and Anna Jay.
That was definitely awesome.

Willow and Jericho had title celebrations and promos.
Swerve had a back and forth match with a loser and wasn't given time to talk.

The Swerve presentation was very odd. Seemed like they knew it too.
None of the faces coming out to help Tony, but the refs being fearless was odd. Shad Khan is ALL ELITE!
They're trying.

If Shad Khan comes in to take over, I'll change my mind on the closing angle.

Tony needed to be written off to go on tour. Jericho influence.

If Tony has a neck brace on at the draft and it gets some publicity on a huge NFL night, this is a win. I'll also be entertained. Also, what would be a bigger moment to use the "first time Tony was touched" card? It wasn't great but I'm giving them a chance on this one.

When AEW started, everyone involved talked about how they wouldn't be used the tired on-screen authority figure.
That was refreshing.
Now maybe it won't get totally to that point, but it sure looks like this is a first step towards that.
But I'll give it a shot. For Kid.

Hey, the way I see it: One of the knocks on AEW has been that they don't tell stories. Well, they're about to tell one here. Let's see.

Not that I didn't agree with your rants last night, but this example really put it in perspective.
