AEW Dynamite - The Final Friday - 6.18.21
 

The final Friday Dynamite...on Sat next week and then back to normal on Wednesdays.

Wardlow/Hager MMA/rasslin match.

Wardlow/Hager MMA Cage match opening the show

Interesting setup...

Jim Ross not there tonight? Replaced by Taz

I wish JR wasn’t there but alas

Good, hope JR never returns!!

This is a cool layout. Let’s go Wardlow

nope jr is there

AEW does the fake crowd noise so much better than WWE... Actually sounds realistic rather than a terrible video game with 923875 glitches

I like Aubrey's all-black ref gear, they should keep that

I imagine they won’t have Hager drop an MMA fight but a guy can dream. GO WARDLOW!

lol @ JR suddenly talking after 6 mins... taking a shit maybe...

give hagar his 1st mma loss

jake hager sux

Wardlow cool IMO

I don’t like the MMA match in wrestling because we know what an MMA match looks like and it doesn’t look like what a wrestling promotion can give us.

AEW's insistence on putting over Hager's MMA record feels like how WWE insists that The Miz is an actual Hollywood star because of their own direct-to-DVD movies and USA cross-promotion.

MMA is very specifically not about style and spectacle. It’s what sets it apart from boxing.

How does someone win this match, are there points being scored...

They said no judges, only knockout or submission I think

Would be funny if Tazz said 'you know what JR' and bloodied him with a spike like Abdullah the Butcher

i get the piper mr t boxing match vibe from this

Like I’m just watching Hager have top control and throw 1 hammer fist when in a real fight he’d throw 30. It just doesn’t translate.

IDK that this match is working...

Boooo
Hager sucks

Legit lol'd a Hurricana in MMA match

I need more Wardlow and less Hager in my life.

I don’t think this makes that happen

Good promo Kaz!

Wish Excalibur would start 'uncontrollably' swearing for no reason on air

Darby rules

Final taped Dynamite of the pandemic era

2 more Jacksonville Dynamites next Saturday and the following Wednesday but both are live. Then it’s back on the road finally. Feels good.

Darby rules

Ethan Page is cool too

I enjoyed that match

One of the better handicap matches I can remember

Enjoying this...
