The Chadster, a self-proclaimed unbiased wrestling journalist, is furious over the latest episode of AEW Dynamite, which featured well-executed matches, genuine character work, and organic storyline progression - everything the Chadster claims is antithetical to proper wrestling booking.

Why it matters

This episode highlights the growing divide between AEW's approach to professional wrestling and the Chadster's perception of WWE's "correct" formula. The Chadster is deeply troubled by AEW's focus on satisfying the audience rather than dictating what they should want.

The details

The Chadster criticizes numerous aspects of the show, including the use of real human emotions in promos, the clean finishes in matches, the logical advancement of storylines, and the showcasing of the women's division. He is particularly upset by the main event dream match between Swerve Strickland and Kenny Omega, which he felt should have been saved for a premium live event.

  • The Chadster was stalked by Tony Khan behind a Blockbuster Video store earlier that evening.
  • The Chadster's raccoon family was traumatized by the compelling television they witnessed on AEW Dynamite.

What they’re saying

— Eric Bischoff (Eric Bischoff's podcast)
