God bless Ortiz for giving "BLOOD AND GUTS! BLOOD AND GUTS!" all he had.

It's interesting from a performance standpoint how little FTR needed to change up their offense to be faces. Dax's offense is still pretty simple, if he'd hit five straight suplexes on Ospreay a year ago it would be booed unquestioningly. So glad to see Rappongi Vice reunited and Orange Cassidy making the save. Freshly Squeezed vs. Aerial Assassin? Yes please.

That was the exact amount of "making the save" for Orange Cassidy, too. It would have been really easy for him to come sailing in and Orange Punch everyone, but having him simply distract Ospreay long enough for everyone else to get back up... chef's kiss.

I still say he shoulda won the battle royal and beat Mox.

Ha ha SO MANY storylines colliding, Sammy and Tay join JAS? Suzuki-gun involved in a multi-person tag? 8-man tag for Forbidden Door with Eddie Edwards? I need a chart to keep this straight!

Willow Nightingale is cutting a promo on Dynamite! What an awesome upgrade.

Young Bucks v Jungle Express ladder match is a damn fine spot-fest, so much flippy power and hardly any pauses to breathe.

Actual excerpt from my Discord chat:

Aw, he lost before his birthday? In front of his family?
Jungle Boy's not even 25? Holy heck
Well, at least they lost without Christian having to heel turn on them
Whoops spoke too soon

Oh, and you'll be pleased to know that Christian stayed classy after Dynamite ended.
