AEW Dynamite 3-31-21 - ARCADE ANARCHY

 It's MAME MADNESS with Arcade Anarchy! Christian Cage vs. Kazarian starts things off and Ex talks about seeing them in a tag match at the galaxy theater almost 20 years ago and now here they are on TNT. Ex talks about their ladder match 13 years ago and Kaz winning that one. They start off with a tie-up and we get a lot of matwork just to prove that both men can do it. They fight on the ramp and Christian uppercuts him, but eats a backdrop into the ring.


Kaz chops away and then works heel working on the neck and head. Cage sends him down, but misses a splash off the top. Kaz gets cocky, and eats a possum package before landing a trio of clubbing shots and the big leg gets 2! Flux Capacitor hits for 2! Kaz misses a corner charge and the Killswitch is engaged and ends it! This was technically very good, but very rote and never got out first gear. QT gets a jobber intro and Cody gets his usual PPV-level intro with half the Earth singing his praises. We get a "Cody's Friend" chant for QT and he takes out Arn! Some of the Nightmare Family turn on Cody! Just imagine how good this would be if we knew who any of these guys were and they'd built this up over a few months. QT piledrives Dustin on the steps! This part is good. They go to take out Cody, but Red Velvet bitches them out and they leave. 



We get a bitter Sky and Ethan Page video - so they're a team and they'll take everyone out on Monday, starting with the Sydals on Elevation. Mox is PISSED OFF, he's itchy, his burns hurt, his scars hurt and Cezar can make AEW money - BUT NOT IF HE KILLS HIM TONIGHT. Recap of the Kingston beating. Cezar...grinds away and we go to a break for MORE GRINDING. Nice rolling elbow by Mox! Nemeth eats a Death Rider and Cezar pumphandles him, but eats an RNC!  That's it. Great! This didn't need to be this long. Starks  talks about the old Team Taz is back - but he wants to hear from Cage... MJF hypes up his boys and goes to knock the bathroom, but THE INNER CIRCLE IS HIDING! 


Dax gets split the fuck open and Jake and Wardlow brawl. MJF gets a swirly AND SENDS HIM THROUGH THE PEPSI MACHINE! Marvez chats with the Bucks before Laredo Kid and the Lucha Bros against The Good Brothers and Omega. Don tells Matt that THEY NEED TO TALK. Kenny chose YOU and your brother - not AEW, because YOU'RE FAMILY. Don calls him dead inside, so Matt slaps him. I love Laredo's 1989 denim jacket and PENTA SAYS THAT OMEGA'S LUCK HAS RUN OUT!


Lots of wackiness here, including a piggyback walk from Omega to Doc with a TRIPLE SPLASH as a result. Rocket kick hits for 2.9 with Fenix FLIP BUMPING for it. Hook kick by Fenix leads to the Destroyer to Omega! Fenix goes for a Lethal Injection, but eats a spinebuster by Anderson! Kneeling BANG knee by Omega gets 2 on  Laredo. OWA MEETS A RANA and a tope suicida! TRIANGLE SOMERSALT SENTON BY PENTA TO THE GOODBROTHERS! Enzuiguri by Laredo and the ROPEWALK PK BY FENIX leads to the spike Michinoku by Laredo! Phoenix splashed avoided, V trigger hits and the OWA ends it. Laredo Kid got over huge here!



MOX COMES DOWN AND HE'S WITH THE BUCKS! Heels run and we've got ANOTHER FACTION. Kinda. Reba does Tony's role for Britt and she says that Rosa is on the rundown - and it's a great way for her to get her wins up BECAUSE THE LIGHTS OUT MATCH DIDN'T COUNT! Matt Hardy talks about The Bunny being excluded - BUT NOW, SHE WON'T BE DUE TO HIM! Bunny and Nyla face Tay and Shida, with a lot of sloppy Bunny offense and Shida suplexing her into Nyla. Conti runs wild on Bunny! Modified GTS hits for Conti and she dives on the pile! Bunny uses a kendo stick on her and a Helms Street/Down the Rabbit Hole ends it.


Miro is SUCH A STAR and they appear to be using real cabinets! The singlet top makes Chuck Taylor look like he's even in worse shape. They've got WHACK A MOLE and a prize station! Miro beats OC up with a mole hammer, as you do. SLIDING CAN LID SHOT TO MIRO after Chuck and OC beat him up with a can lid and kendo stick. BARRICADE LARIAT BY THE FACES! They cover him in a table too for 2 when Kip saves. GERMAN TO CHUCK ON THE FLOOR! Shotgun dropkick to OC! Chuck unloads a LEGO LOADED TEDDY BEAR! LIGERBOMB BY KIP ON THE LEGOS FOR 2 WHEN OC SAVES!


BEACH BREAK TO KIP. ORANGE PUNCH KOS HIM but Penelope pulls Aubrey out! Penelope low blows OC. KRIS STATLANDER SAVES HER BELOVED BY POPPING OUT OF THE UFO CATCHER! She hits a fire thunder driver OFF THE APRON THROUGH AN AIR HOCKEY TABLE! TRENT'S MOM SUE'S MINI-VAN RETURNS! WITH TRENT! 






TRENT SPEARS MIRO THROUGH A TABLE! Chuck powerslams Kip off the ramp and through a table and wins it! This match was a load of fun! BEST FRIENDS HUG but now WITH KRIS and a thumbs up from Sue. THIS SHOW RULED. That match was just a riot and so much fun to see unfold.
