Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for August 24, 2022

Chris Jericho heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Jericho addresses what is going on between himself and Daniel Garcia, whom he calls one of his favorite people, and asks Garcia to head to the ring. Jericho tells Garcia that he had "a classic match" with "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson and that emotions and adrenaline had run high after Garcia's loss, and asks Garcia to apologize to him. Garcia tells Jericho that he knew how special that moment was for him and to share the ring with his hero Bryan Danielson for 30 minutes, and says it is the kind of wrestling match he dreamt of having as a kid and hopes another kid has that dream. On the subject of Bryan Danielson going for a handshake, he says that he did not care if he was called a wrestler or a sports entertainer and that Jericho ruined that moment. Jericho says that he is sorry he feels that way and that there will be more moments like that for him, for he is "the best technical sports entertainer" is the business and he wants to hear him say that he is a sports entertainer. Before Garcia can say anything, Bryan Danielson shows up and mentions Jericho trying to bully him into saying he is a sports entertainer, then says Garcia can be what he wants to be, that he respects their match and that Garcia is a wrestler. Jericho demands that Garcia state publicly that he is a sports entertainer, but Garcia says he cannot make that decision publicly with his mentor on one side and his hero on the other, and tries to leave. Jericho grabs Garcia by the arm, but Garcia turns around and shoves Jericho again. Garcia ultimately leaves, then Danielson says that while he is not the greatest fan of sports entertainment, he considered that entertaining. Jericho takes offense to Bryan Danielson being called the greatest wrestler in the world, saying he has not seen it once and that he knows more about wrestling than Danielson ever will after surviving the Hart Dungeon. Danielson then asks Jericho who Stu Hart or Owen Hart would have thought is the greatest wrestler between the two of them, then asks who would be the greatest if they had a match tonight. Jericho tells Danielson that if he wants that match, then he has it at All Out, and reminds Danielson that he choked him out and put him out for two months. He then tells him to watch his back, as he never knows when he will hit him. Danielson is suddenly attacked from behind by Jake Hager.

Christian says he has seen and done it all, and Jungle Boy will find out that he is an anomaly, as Jungle Boy is not in his league.

"Absolute" Ricky Starks heads to the ring. Starks says he is not in the best of moods and that he is pissed off from Team Taz breaking up, losing the FTW Championship, dealing with The Factory and being betrayed by Powerhouse Hobbs. Starks says that he thought he was the exception to the rule that there is no such thing as friends in wrestling when he and Hobbs were partners in crime, but the thing about people wanting to see you do well is that they don't want you doing better than them. He says that he took Powerhouse Hobbs and showed him what it was like to eat at his table, and mentions that Hobbs nearly put him back on the shelf when he hit him in the back of his neck. Starks says that Hobbs is a snake and that where he comes from, they cut the heads off of snakes, and tells Hobbs to bring his "five dollar ass" to All Out and fight him.
