John Moore for his live review as the show airs tonight on AXS. My members’ exclusive audio review and Hit List will be available on Wednesday.
-The AEW Dark online show streams tonight on the AEW YouTube page at 6CT/7ET. Jimmy Havoc vs. Shawn Dean is one of the two matches. Dot Net contributor Briar Starr’s review will be available on Wednesday morning.
-Friday Night Smackdown on Fox finished with an B as the majority grade with 37 percent of the vote. D finished second with 27 percent of the vote. I gave the show a C grade (using the empty venue curve for each show). Vince McMahon was really rough in the final segment, but I thought the overall show was decent.
-AEW Dynamite scored an B grade from the majority of the voters in our post show poll with 43 percent of the vote. A finished second with 21 percent of the vote. I gave the show a C- grade for a show that peaked with the opening match.
-The NXT on USA Network show produced an A grade from 43 percent of the voters in our post show poll. B finished second with 32 percent. I gave the show an C+ grade with some points taken away for the main event of Velveteen Dream vs. Finn Balor being called off, and the strangeness of the replacement main event.
