I've missed Dynamite for a few weeks, didn't the Bucks already have a future tag title shot?

Their tag title shot is on the line in the match.

Buy-in start time 30 min earlier than previously scheduled (90 min show) at 10:30am

When did they announce that Claudio vs Matthews was on the pre show?

I was buying the PPV anyway, but I ordered it immediately when that match was announced.

Genuinely annoyed they aren't getting main show exposure. Ended up being the match I was most looking forward to. Also glad I wasn't on the fence about ordering it. Would have been pissed off.

 

[Ry009]

Lethal and Kingston felt like a short standard pre show match.

Surprised Claudio and Buddy is on the pre-show.

 

[Ry009]

Another short match, really wish it was a 20-25 minute one on PPV. Great stuff from Claudio and Buddy.

Caught me out... It was less than 24 hours ago on Collision & Rampage that they were advertising it as 11am our time.

Anyway, looks like not much was missed in that first half hour.

 

[Ry009]

Goddamn it, they're gonna tease stereo musclebusters like they did with the double clotheslines....bastards. Love it lol.

 

[Ry009]

Interesting end to Zero Hour.

If Cole is the devil and screws MJF and joins/leads BC, that's a really nice payoff.

Really well done.

Wonder if one of the Gunns coming down the stairs behind Cole after ambulance drove off was an accident or intentional.

Huh? Wasn't it literally announced a day ago?

 

[Ry009]

LOL kids singing Christian's theme. Perfect haha.

 

[Blackhawk42]

It was. But as far as I'm aware it was never announced as a pre-show match.

What I'm saying is that if I wasn't sure about ordering the event, this match absolutely would have sold it for me.
So IF I'd done that then tuned in only to discover it was on the pre-show I would have been annoyed.

I'm still mad about Danielson and Seamus copping this at WM, as well as the tag team title match at Wreatlemania 25 when I was a massive mark for Miz and Morrison.

Good reminder - I like to jump on and grab a couple of lucky dip t-shirts each year.

Timeless Toni has a tshirt out that I really like - but I've been getting PW crate and AEW crate all year, and I'm currently shrinking out of all my clothes, so I won't be buying any this year.

I was really hoping that the choir who sang Christian to the ring would be announced as an orphan choir.

Na. Just pre-show chat, I chucked it on at 11 anyway.

I didn't catch Collision, but I only ever saw it announced as a Zero Hour match.

In fairness, I think the amount of people that would suddenly buy a PPV for Matthews vs Claudio on zero build would be close to zero.

 

[Gak Attack]

Guessing MJF still returns

 

[Ry009]

Great tag title match. Wasn't a fan of International Title Match (know I'll be in the minority) and Womens title match. But overall a really solid show so far.

 

[mickelboy182]

Bit of hot potato with the women's title, though can understand this time with Toni getting some good reactions.

 

[mickelboy182]

Nigel has been slurring his words all night

 

[nobbyiscool]

Glad Hart won the belt, but that match was a bit rough. It's been a good show up til now though.

Lot of promise, I'm likely wrong here but a bit early for her though? Was surprised with that result.

 

[Ry009]

Here we go, here comes Ospreay.
