Blood & Guts - Dynamite recap for July 24, 2024

Backstage, Alex Marvez tries to interviews Will Opsreay, who finds out that his front driver's side tire has been flattened with some sort of blade. Ospreay ends up taking Marvez's car.

MJF heads to the ring to start tonight's show after being introduced by cheerleaders. At the center of one of the rings is a table with a black mantle hiding another championship belt. MJF says Will Ospreay did not hit the Tiger Driver '91 because he is a gutless coward, then tells Swerve Strickland that he has not forgotten about the World Championship, saying he is waiting for the right moment to pounce, and tells Swerve to pray it does not come. He brags that he beat Will Ospreay easily and efficiently without breaking a sweat, then tells Ospreay to take a long walk off a short pier before referencing his grandmother's death and using it to mock Ospreay even more. MJF then demands Ospreay come to the ring and face him like a man, then says he will not do it because he is worthless. MJF then says everyone loves the International Championship because it was held by workhorses, then says working hard is "for the poors" and that he deserves a title worthy of his superiority, saying the original is nothing more than garbage. He tosses the International Championship belt into a metal garbage can, then says he deserves a title that represents himself and the United States, and reveals the AEW American Championship. MJF says he appreciates the "USA" chants, but tells the fans he is talking about the only "real America" that matters - Plainview, Long Island, New York - and not "nasty ass Nashville[, Tennessee]." He then tells the fans to thank him later. Confetti then shoots out towards the ring before an American flag with MJF's face replacing all of the 50 stars unfurls downward. All of a sudden, Will Ospreay shows up and chases Ospreay out of the ring. Ospreay tells MJF that he can do his best to feed the fans horseshit, but nobody is eating it, and that he knows that MJF could not beat him without cheating and had to use the Dynamite Diamond Ring. He says that MJF would rather cheat than admit that he is on his level, then announces that he has had a meeting with Tony Khan and Interim EVP Christopher Daniels and that he has his championship rematch at All In.



We hear from referee Bryce Remsburg, who flips a coin to decide who has the one-man advantage. He then finds out that The Elite (Nicholas Jackson, Matthew Jackson, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, "Scapegoat" Jack Perry) have attacked Interim EVP Christopher Daniels. Matthew flips his own coin with AEW on one side and The Elite on the other, and The Elite wins. We then find out the coin is actually one-sided.

"The Learning Tree" Chris Jericho retains the FTW Championship against Minoru Suzuki following a low blow and the Judas Effect. After the match, Suzuki immediately gets back up, and when Jericho swings at him, Suzuki gets back up and hits Jericho with a Gotch-Style Piledriver. All of a sudden, Big Bill and "The Bad Apple" Bryan Keith - who had been banned from ringside during the match - show up and attack Suzuki. "The Wrestler' Katsuyori Shibata's music hits, and Shibata shows up from behind to fight Big Bill and Bryan Keith and send them running.



Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Willow Nightingale. Willow is soon interrupted by Stokely Hathaway and attacked from behind by Kris Statlander, who slams her on some road crates before she and Stokely challenge Willow to a CMLL Women's World Championship Eliminator Match.

In backstage footage from earlier today, Renee Paquette interviews "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson, who says that he is going to work hard, do his best and try to enjoy the moment at All In. Jeff Jarrett shows up and says that Danielson knows better than anyone than anyone else that he was crushed not to win the men's Owen Hart Tournament, and that he is proud of Danielson for overcoming the odds he could not. He tells Danielson that he will be facing a champion who is focused on retaining his title, and while Danielson has some physical healing to do, he also has some mental healing that needs to be done. Jarrett then tells Danielson that if he wants to go all in, he must go all in, as people believe in him and he is at the top of the list. Danielson says that he has some work to do.



Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. beats Hikaru Shida after countering the Katana with the Lockjaw. During the match, Shida considers using her shinai, but ultimately decides not to. After the match, Mercedes Moné shows up and congratulates Britt Baker, knowing Britt Baker wants to face her for the TBS Championship at All In. She then declines the challenge before Britt Baker is attacked from behind by Kamille. Kamille then puts Britt Baker in the Torture Rack before hitting her with a Blue Thunder Bomb and standing side-by-side with Mercedes Moné and raising her hand.



Backstage, we hear from The Patriarchy (Christian Cage, "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne, Killswitch, Mama Wayne). Christian Cage announces that they walked out as World Trios Champions on Collision, and that Nick Wayne will soon walk out #1 for the AEW World Championship when he wins the Royal Rampage. Nick Wayne notices and confronts Kip Sabian, then tells him that nobody cares that his father is dead.

PAC beats Boulder.



Backstage, we hear from Team AEW (Swerve Strickland, Darby Allin, "Platinum" Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, Mark Briscoe). Swerve Strickland says the spirit of AEW is on the line tonight, and he has asked The Acclaimed (Caster and Bowens), Darby Allin and Mark Briscoe if they are ready to get violent, and that they will show The Elite what they are all about with him as their leader. Darby says this is about getting even with The Elite, and that they will never see eye-to-eye. Max Caster and Anthony Bowens say they do not mind getting violent with Swerve regarding their past history and that it is about getting the AEW tag titles, then Mark Briscoe says they must put past issues aside and must not let The Elite divide and conquer, then tells The Elite that they are not safe tonight.

"The Glamour" Mariah May beats Kaitland Alexis. After the match, "Timeless" Toni Storm's music hits, but Mariah May laughs. All of a sudden, Toni Storm - dressed as a camera worker - reveals her disguise and brawls with Mariah May, and referees and security have to step in. Toni tells Mariah she had better be prepared to die, because she is.



Team AEW (Swerve Strickland, Darby Allin, "Platinum" Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, Mark Briscoe) beat Team Elite (Nicholas Jackson, Matthew Jackson, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, "Scapegoat" Jack Perry, "Hangman" Adam Page) in Blood & Guts. During the match, Swerve Strickland is handcuffed to the cage by "Hangman" Adam Page, but he is soon freed by Prince Nana, Jeff Jarrett and "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn, the last of whom has to punch out Brandon Cutler to make it happen. Team AEW gets the win after Mark Briscoe handcuffs Jack Perry to the cage, which allows Darby Allin to pour gas on Perry and threaten to set him on fire if he does not quit and give him a shot at the TNT Championship. Nicholas Jackson tells Darby he has his match, but Darby wants Team Elite to quit. Nicholas quits on behalf of Team Elite, and the match ends.



Here are the highlights from tonight's show!

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for January 24, 2024

Samoa Joe heads to the ring. Joe says tonight is a night of celebration due to a new championship endeavor, as opportunities must be earned, not given. He says AEW wrestlers will battle tooth and nail for a shot at his gold. He says that the opportunity at a championship will also be the opportunity for the worst night of one's night when he does to them what he did to Hook last week: beat them down unmerciful, choke them out unconscious and take everything from them. Hook shows up and tells Joe that he lost and Joe won, then both men shake hands. Hook says he does not know when or where, but he will see him again. Joe agrees, then tells him to get to the back of line and sics security on him to get him out of the ring. The three security guards who show up get laid out, and the third one gets choked out with Redrum. Two members of AEW security get in the ring to get Hook to stop. Hook stops and heads to the back.

Renee Paquette hosts a face-to-face meeting between "The Virtuousa" Deonna Purrazzo and "Timeless" Toni Storm on the stage. Toni's half of the stage is in black-and-white and at reduced framer per second during the meeting. Toni mentions Deonna Purrazzo's recent body shaming, which she says is ridiculous as there is more to shame about her. She says they have history, but that does not mean she can use their past friendship to get a title shot. She says that she has had a lot of friends, all less talented than her, and while Deonna may be the best technical wrestling in the world today, she will twist her lips so hard she will need an epidural if she steps in the ring with her. Deonna says she is here to win gold, make friends, and that she will do it arm by arm. She says that the "delusional sham" she is looking at is not the Toni Storm she wants to face; she wants to face and beat the one who slept on dojo floors for the women's world title. She tells her to reach down and find that Toni, then tells her to look down at her ankle, as it looks a lot like hers. It is revealed that they both have identical tattooes on their ankles, then Deonna says Toni does not have her fooled. Toni tells Deonna to take her tattoo and "blow it right out of [her] bumhole." Both women throw shoes at each other, and Luther gets hit with a big boot after Deonna briefly locks in Venus de Milo on Toni. Toni and Mariah May flee.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews "Hangman" Adam Page when Swerve Strickland shows up with Prince Nana and brags about what he did to Jeff Hardy tonight as well as his undefeated streak.

While he does not know if he will be wrestling at All In in Wembley Stadium in London, he does know that "Absolute" Ricky Starks has beaten him twice. He admits that he has been disappointed by how Ricky Starks has beaten him out of late and has confused his kindness for weakness even after having to cheat to beat him twice, then says that he has been left holding the bag. He then says that the truth does not care if one is right or wrong and that he is the champion as he pulls an AEW World Championship belt out of his bag and states that he has never been beaten for the belt that still has his blood on it from last September. Punk then spray paints a big black X on the center plate of the championship belt, stating the X has defined him and the foundation he has built his career on since 1997, then says he is straight edge and "better than you." He says that the belt is staying with him and on Collision, then states that he is "the real World's Champion." Ricky Starks then shows up, demands an entrance, then comes out to his entrance theme and says that while this was a great story Punk told, he is low on gold right now and that Punk would have beaten him the same way he beat him. He then says that he wants Punk's World Championship after having beaten him twice and becoming the face of Collision, for whatever Punk has is his. Punk asks Ricky if he is the face of Collision or the face of cheating, but Ricky says Stevie Wonder could be the referee and he would still beat him. Punk then says it sounds like Ricky Starks wants a title shot, which leads to "Take his title!" and "CM Punk!" chants, then says that if he were to wrestle Ricky again, he will need some extra eyes around here. Ricky says it does not care who Punk brings, because if he beat Punk once, he can do it twice. Punk says he anticipated this and made some phone calls, and that there will be a special guest referee who is someone from his past. Punk then asks if Ricky wants a shot at his title, to which Ricky states that he absolutely wants it. Both men shake hands, then Punk has Tony Schiavone tell Ricky that the special guest referee is Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat.

He then says that Heath and Rhino want Violent By Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner) at Turning Point, an event name he finds apt, because it will be when he builds a monument of violence on their backs.

Violent By Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner) head to the ring. Eric Young says that Rhino had a decision to make and that he made the wrong decision, and that Rhino learned like everyone else that with choices come repercussions when and that when one is Violent By Design, they are Violent By Design forever. He says he has not gotten his hands dirty in six months, and that it is time to return to the fold and get his hands dirty by building a monument of violence that humanity will live in the shadow of for generations. Eric Young says that monument starts tonight with the first brick being laid right here, right now. Suddenly, a young tan man with sunglasses and a ponytail gets in the ring. This man is Jay Vidal from Las Vegas, Nevada. Eric Young asks if this is his first time on television and if he is excited, to which Jay says "yes" on both counts.

He also says that the winner will get a shot at the Impact World Tag Team Championships and that there will be a winner.

Mickie James retains the Impact Knockouts Championship against Madison Rayne after taking Kaleb with a K out of the equation. After the match, Mercedes Martinez shows up and congratulates Mickie James for retaining and says she has respect for her, as every time people put Mickie down, she levels up and does it like nobody has ever done before.

MJF says that prior to Sunday, he had beaten Chris Jericho three times, and on Sunday, he beat him a fourth time in the middle of the ring only for the match to be restarted due to extreme bias against him. He says there is bias in the locker room because everyone wants to be him, and expects the fans not to understand because they are from "Shitsinnati." He also says Cincinnati, Ohio is the biggest dumpster in the world. MJF then says that Ohio is part of the Mid-West because "everything is mid," including Skyline Chili, the Cincinnati Reds and everyone who lives in the city, then dares someone to jump the guardrail so he can jump everyone in the town. He then says that nobody will do it because they are cowards, then threatens to knock Aunt Linda's teeth down her throat if she makes eye contact, then makes fun of the woman next to her, who happens to be Brian Pillman's daughter. MJF then says this explains her vile looks, then Brian Pillman Jr. shows up and says that while MJF had a silver spoon upbringing and comes from a great city, his city breeds badasses like Brian Pillman and Jon Moxley. After Pillman Jr. welcomes him to the jungle, MJF tells him it was a bad idea to go toe-to-toe with him on the microphone before mocking his mother's meth addiction and says that his mother should have swallowed. Wardlow stands between MJF and Pillman Jr., then MJF asks him if he will help him like he did Sunday before telling him to stand in the corner and look cute.

Pillman Jr. attacks MJF, and it takes two pull-offs for Wardlow to suplex Pillman Jr. before laying out Griff Garrison with a clothesline before MJF hits Garrison with the Dynamite Diamond Ring.

Tony Schiavone interviews The Elite in the ring. Don Callis says Sunday was about The Elite and Kenny Omega proving why he is the greatest wrestler in the industry while The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) provided entertainment as one of the best tag teams in the world despite losing the AEW tag team titles. After Callis says they will get the AEW tag team titles back, Nick Jackson announces they got their best friend back, and introduces Adam Cole to the ring. Cole stares down Schiavone and tells him that if he looks at Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. the wrong way, he will slap the glasses off his face and whup his ass, then tells him to get out of the ring. Schiavone reluctantly leaves the ring, then Cole says AEW is the best wrestling company in the world because of everyone from The Elite down to the fans who paid a ticket to be here. Cole says that he has been elite for a long time and has won world title while proving he is a once-in-a-generation wrestler, and says he is now with the best in The Elite, whom everyone should be thanking now that they are complete. He then announces that he will make his in-ring debut for AEW next week, and says that when he proves how good he is, he will show how elite The Elite really is. Kenny Omega then brings up the interruption from Bryan Danielson last week only for Bryan Danielson to show up again. Omega asks The Elite to leave the ring to allow for room between himself and Danielson, and Omega says Danielson is the man he wants to speak with. Danielson takes the microphone from Omega's hand and asks the fans if they want to see the two of them fight, which the fans want, then says Omega does not want to fight him because he knows he is better and that he will kick his head in. Omega charges at Danielson only to be put in the LeBell Lock, and The Elite gang up on Danielson only for Christian Cage, Frankie Kazarian and Jurassic Express (Jungle Boy, Marko Stunt, Luchasaurus) to collectively make the save for Danielson by laying out The Elite. Brandon Cutler and his bottle of cold-spray is the only one left in the ring and the last to be laid out.





Jon Moxley beats Minoru Suzuki.

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for October 7, 2017

"The Last Real Man" Silas Young and The Beer City Bruiser show up. Silas Young shows everyone his back to show them the back of a man who "talks the talks and walks that walk." At Death Before Dishonor, Jay Lethal beat him like a dog with a leather belt, but he could not keep him down, and he was the last man standing. He has proved he is better than Lethal, and worthy of the meaty opportunity. He then mentions the goal he and The Beer City Bruiser had of getting a third man to get the ROH World Six-Man Championships with. After months of looking, they could not find a single man who could parallel them in manliness. But at Death Before Dishonor, they found a man who was as manly as they are and as real as they come. They offered him the opportunity to join them in the road to the six-man titles, and that man is Minoro Suzuki. He then says The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson), and tells them to get in the ring and accept their challenge after they step back from their Internet shows and stop putting themselves over. The Young Bucks and "Hangman" Adam Page show up, and say that they were signing autographs until they heard Silas was talking trash about them, and they are pissed because he is costing them money. They then say they are the greatest trio in wrestling today, and they are collectively known as "The Hung Bucks." If Young, The Bruiser and Suzuki want to challenge them for the six-man titles, they can do it now...then say they're joking and say they only wrestle when it is the main event.

Kenny King retains the ROH World Television Championship against Josh "The Goods" Woods after countering a Triangle Hold into a pinfall. Both men show respect after the match, and Kenny King tells the fans that it was a great moment for him to win the Television title in front of his family and how he plans on being a fighting champion. All of a sudden, Shane Taylor shows up. Kenny King says there are no cheeseburgers in the ring, and that they have history. Suddenly, Chuckie T shows up, and Kenny King mentions he also has history with him. After that, Punishment Martinez shows up. Kenny King is telling them to come and get it if they want a shot, Mark Briscoe shows up, and Kenny King says they've been at war a couple of times. King then tells all four men that if they want the Television title, they will have to bend the knee.

We hear from "The Villain" Marty Scurll, who announces that next week, he personally invites the fans to witness the celebration of "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes signing the most lucrative deal in ROH history, and says Bullet Club might even cause a spot of bother.

Bullet Club (Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson, "Hangman" Adam Page) retains the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships against "The Last Real Man" Silas Young, The Beer City Bruiser and Minoru Suzuki. After the match, The Beer City Bruiser berates Suzuki, blaming their loss on him. Suzuki answers by fighting both Silas and The Bruiser, and security has to come to the ring to restore order.

Jay Briscoe shows up. Before he can speak, Tommy Dreamer shows up in ROH for the first time in years. Dreamer says he is here to talk to Briscoe as well as "our wrestling family." He tells him of a time that he cut he had to help him cut off his cast so he could perform at Barely Legal back in 1997, because he broke his ankle so badly that he walks with a limp. In 1998, somebody busted a beer bottle on Bully Ray's ear, and he and Bully fought off four men before Bully Ray finished his drink and told Dreamer to take him to the hospital. Bully Ray is missing a part of his ear because of that incident. In 2002, at the first ever Raw Roulette, Chris Jericho drove him head-first into the canvas and knocked him out, and it concussed him so badly that he forgot his mother had passed away three months and he forgot about the worst part of his life. Dreamer had to tell him for the first time that his mother died, and he watched him cry until he instantly stopped and asked what happened. He says studying the brain is a really scary thing, and he feels partially responsible for all the steel chairs that have been smacked into Bully Ray's head. Dreamer goes on to say that he is not here to speak for Bully Ray or fight his battles, as there is life after professional wrestling. He is worried about Bully Ray, and tells Jay Briscoe he messed up and that he does not know what is going to happen. He thanks the fans for having him, then he leaves. Jay Brisco stays in the ring for a little while, then leaves.
