Man, that was once again a LOT of quality wrestling to watch.  With ROH dominating my attention, I can't even remember what I watched every other day.  I know that the best WWE match was motherfucking Pretty Deadly vs Gallus.  The best AEW match was Jeff Jarrett vs Orange Cassidy- as Orange Cassidy is on the biggest run in current wrestling.  Or maybe the BCC vs Dark Order/ Hangman match.  IMPACT! had Speedball and Gresham tagged together against Black Taurus and Crazzy Steve and also had Bullet Club with KENTA.  And KiLynn King made her in-ring debut.  The best Japanese match was prolly Taichi/SANADA from AXS or Tetsuya Izuchi/ Jun Tonsho vs T-HAWK/ Soma Watanabe from GLEAT.  The Lucha Libre match of the week was the Cibernetico match with a bunch of dudes I hadn't seen before.  I can't believe I had to cut the Mexican Biker Hogs versus four exoticos match.  The Pimpirnella/Ventura match is our sleeper.  I don't know what I'm voting for.  Your Fringe Match was Billie Starkz/Max the Impaler match from Women's Wrestling Army.   

 

CUT LIST:  Coronel Vip vs Hijo de Canis Lupus- IWRG;  Diva Salvaje/ Estrella Divina/ Larry Miranda/ Mamba vs Pig Decapitador/ Pig Destroyer/ Pig Destructor/ Pig Pool- IWRG;  Oskar Leube/ Ren Narita vs Chase Owens/ KENTA- New Japan World;  Turbo Floyd/ Truth Magnum vs John Silver/ Alex Reynolds- AEW DARK; Steve Maclin vs Heath- IMPACT!;   Shota Umino/ Tama Tonga vs Kosei Fujita/ Zack Sabre Jr- New Japan World;  Aaron Henare vs Yuto Nakashima- New Japan World;  Liv Morgan/ Raquel Rodriguez vs Emma/ Tegan Nox- SMACKDOWN; Rhea Ripley/ Dominik Mysterio vs Zelina Vega/ Santos Escobar- SMACKDOWN; Hirooki Goto/ YOSHI-HASHI/ Ryohei Oiwa vs Jeff Cobb/ Kyle Fletcher/ Mark Davis- New Japan World;  Kiana James vs Gigi Dolin- NXT;

Raw and NXT had some perfectly solid wrestling, but Gallus/Pretty Deadly was easily the standout.

Dug OC/Jarrett. Was nice to see something different from OC other defenses though I don't think this was quite the same level as what Jarrett achieved with Lehtal and the Acclaimed. The trios titles match was fine, probably good even but missing something for me. BCC vs. Dark Order was good and the highlight of Dynamite for me. Grayson, Hangman, and Uno are all good as fired up faces and BCC are great when embracing their heel side. Yuta is a cheating dick and I dug how calculating and perfect he was with choosing his moments to strike. 

Smackdown underwhelmed for the first time in a while with most of the matches being too short and a really good match in Sheamus/Drew getting a fuck finish.  

Hobbs/Fenix was a good big dude vs. small dude match with them leaning more of the fighting spirit way than simple style difference.

The exoticos singles from IWGR was more fun than I expected with Pimpinela still bringing a decent amount to the tables in their 50s. 

The 6-women tag from CMLL was fun but nothing standout. The CIbernetico with a bunch of guys I did not know was really fucking good even with occasional flubs. 

Naito/ELP was good fun. The two feed into each other's personalities well, and it was nice seeing the crowd get so much behind both. SANADA/Tachi was another good match. Dug Taichi forcing Sanada to wake up and step up as the match went on. They really got the crowd behind Sanada with how they built things up.

Still need to check out the ZSJ matches and some of the ROH, but if I'm being honest I'm almost certainly voting for the Cibernetico match. It even annoys me some as I was totally prepped and happy to vote for Sanada/Taichi again until I saw the Cibernetico.

OC/JJ was a Weirdo Wrestling Dream Match come true. That was one of the best AEW matches, period. It was just a perfect amalgamation of all things I love about pro wrestling -- goofball characters, struts, taunts, crowd brawling and most importantly OC's masterful job selling. I audibly gasped at a few JJ near falls, cheered when Aubrey did her mad-as-hell march to the ring and celebrated the ending. I want these guys in an Ironman Match that would have a final score of something like 24-23 and every single second of it would rule. OC is on the heater of a lifetime and is week-to-week the best wrestler on American TV. Jeff Jarrett is putting on a masterclass of how less-is-more. I hope every single person in AEW is asking Jeff Jarrett for advice.

I really liked OC/ JJ, but I just can not stand Aubrey. I know she's supposedly a really nice person. I know that if you're going to do a match or angle like this, having a referee who's " part of the story" is fine. But I just hate it when refs are "stars". Aubrey is in the same category as David Manning and Dick Wohrle.  If you want to see how a ref can be a "character" and not be distracting from the action take a look at Tommy Young. 
That match was awesome. It was everything I love. If the ref wasn't someone who already has a well deserved reputation as a referee who has to stand out as a character, it would have been perfect.
