-AEW Summer Blockbuster will be live from Portland, Oregon at Theater of the Clouds at Moda Center. The show features Will Ospreay vs. Swerve Strickland. Join Jake Barnett for his weekly live review of Dynamite as the show is simulcast on TBS and Max at 7CT/8ET. I will take over with the AEW Collision review around 9CT/10ET. Jake’s same-night audio reviews of Dynamite and Will Pruett’s audio reviews of Collision are available exclusively for Dot Net Members (including our Patreon patrons).

-We are looking for reports from tonight’s live AEW Summer Blockbuster in Portland. If you are attending this show or another upcoming event and want to help, send a note to dotnetjason@gmail.com.

-WWE Evolve streams on Tubi at 7CT/8ET. Chris Vetter’s reviews are available after the show airs. Tonight’s show features Wes Lee vs. Cappuccino Jones.

-I gave last week’s AEW Fyter Fest a B- grade. Four-hour television shows are insane, but they paced it about as well as a four-hour marathon can be paced.
