Dynamite really feels like WCW reborn. Whereas Vince McMahon recently criticized the WWE for being "too pro wrestling", AEW Dynamite relishes in it. There was less than 10 minutes of promos combined in the first 2 episodes (2 hours a piece, 4 hours total). The focus is on wrestling, and features none of the cartoon characters you find up north in WWE. It really is that more southern style of wrestling that has been missing since WCW folded.

The announcing team is rock solid with Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone, and former wrestler Excalibur. Far better than any of the shit announcers over in WWE. And the talent is young and hungry as well. Every match they've shown has been excellent, with several "Holy Shit!" moments per match.

TNT has both episodes up for free right now. I highly recommend checking it out.

They also have a YouTube series called AEW: Dark, which features dark matches from Dynamite that didn't air on TNT.

AEW: Dark

Hahaha man I so happen to watch that very same ep of AEW:Dark yesterday for the first time. That first match was great and the Coffin Drop is an unusual looking aerial finisher!!
