Acero’s AEW Dynamite Review 6.12.24
Image Credit: AEW
Loading...Michael Ornelas , a predominantly white male from Texas, takes on Cracker Barrel! No bias there!
It’s Wednesday, you know what that means…
Stay tuned till the middle of the report for an announcement that has nothing to do with wrestling and everything to do with me!
We are in Des Moines, Iowa, and yours and my World Champion is here!
Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana are here! Iowa is loud and proud, man, as Swerve welcomes us to Dynamite.
He brings up Forbidden Door and his match with Will. Two stars, one killer in that ring. He told Will ten years ago, once you develop that killer instinct, no one could stop him. Even a year ago, Will vs Kenny, he saw an assassin get the job done. A few months later, Revolution, Takeshita, an assassin got the job done. Then Dynasty, an assassin got the job done. Double or Nothing…..not really. Didn’t see that assassin. When it comes to Swerve, he is not a target to hesitate on. He’s Killshot for a reason. If you don’t pull the trigger, he sure as hell will. He respects Will. He is a fighting champion, unlike the EVPs.
Speaking of Los Diablos, The Young Bucks, Jack Perry and Kazuchika Okada comes out. Okada says it is his house, bitch.
Nick wants to talk aabout how dominate The Elite have been. They took out Omega, helped break Kingston’s leg, and destroyed Team AEW. Half the roster is gone because of them. It feels pretty damned good. All the trolls and bots doubt them. Even the wrestlers in the back don’t think they’re violent enough. They want to challenge AEWs best in the most violent match in AEW – Blood and Guts.
Matt says this is where Swerve comes into the picture. They dig him, think he’s cool. He’s young and a champ just like them, so they have a question – would he like to join them.
To make it official, Matt gives Swerve the pair of Reeboks off his feet.
Swerve says first of all, he doesn’t wear size 9. Second, nobody wears pearls anymore. Third, he is a business man, but also a philanthropist and tells Nana to toss the shoes into the crowd.
Matt sees a bug flying around, it’s an injury bug and it just landed on Swerve.
Before the four can attack, The Acclaimed show up.
Out comes Christopher Daniels immediately after and says he’d let t his go but they got a stacked card, so everyone needs to get out of the ring and head backstage. Except for Jack Perry, because he is in action right now!
Dustin Rhodes vs Jack Perry
Jack attacks before the bell, but Dustin gets his licks back They end up outside where Jack sends Dustin into the steps then rips off the soft mat, exposing the cement. Jack locks Dustin under his legs, lifts up for a piledriver, but Dustin hits a back body drop! We see that Dustin bladed.
We are BACK and Jack has Dustin choked up in the ring. Jack runs for a knee but Dustin stands quickly, grabs Jack, and hits a sick powerslam! Knee, uppercut, bulldog from Dustin. Jack pulls himself up in the corner. There’s a chair nearby. Dustin mounts, hits some punches. Dustin sets up for the nut kick. Dustin picks up the chair, Aubrey grabs it and sends it outside, giving Dustin the opportunity to kick him in the nuts! He goes to finish with a Cross Rhodes, Jack escapes, punch from Dustin, another, another, elbow to the head! Tries again for Cross Rhodes, hits it! COVER! 1..2…..NO!!!!
Jack takes Dustin to the mat outside, grabs him by the head, DDT TO DUSTIN! Jack rolls into the ring, all the way to the center, and asks for Dustin to be counted out. Dustin rolls in at 9. Dustin tries to hype himself up as Aubrey asks if he wants to continue. Dustin pulls himself up. Jack with a low blow and Aubrey doesn’t see it!
Dustin is on his knees. Jack stands in the corner. Dustin with his middle finger! Running knee from Jack! Cover! 1..2…3!!!
Winner: Jack Perry

Match Time:
Backstage, Kyle O’Reilly, Orange Cassidy, and Mark Briscoe are standing by with Renee.
Kyle says they are pros, and they can wrestle Saturday and tag Wednesday.
Orange says he thinks he has some people that have his back, but one person he’s not worried about is Willow Nightingale, who comes up behind Orange with a smile.
Mark asks for the mic and eloquently expresses the following:
“For a battle looms, and what are we if not the scars of said battles? Perhaps it is within the linked arms of me and my brothers that we find strength. Let us band together – me, with my rugged attributes, Kyle with his violent nature, my clementine friend, Cassidy. Oh, the excitement that shakes through our body is paramount. Oh, indeed it is.”
Or something like that.

Rush destroys this man like I destroy Chipotle.
Winner: Rush

Match Time: 1:24
Rush goes over to Justin Roberts and snatches the mic from him. He tells the crowd to shut up then runs over to the jobber. He steps on the neck of Jobberto Del Toro, calling him a typical American and weak. He corners the guy and starts punching him down then hits a knee. He goes for a running knee, but MJF’s music hits and our Burberry Bad Ass comes down to remove his jacket!
MJF runs into the ring, gives Rush a right, Rush fires back, then security comes in only for MJF and Rush to dispatch them quickly. MJF in the corner, Rush in the opposite corner. They slow turn to realize they’re alone. They meet in the middle with fists! MJF bites Rush, Rush heads outside, grabs the boots, and sends MJF into the barricade. MJF returns the favor and tosses Rush into the crowd. MJF follows, beats him down while the bell rings over and over. Punch from MJF, Rush sends him into the steps bannister. They continue to fiht against the beautiful Iowanians.
They continue the fight backtage where Rush throws some random shit at MJF only for MJF to drop him onto and through a table. Rush rolls over and stands, grabbing a trash can in the process. Here come wrestlers and security now, keeping both men apart.

For no good reason, my Macbook restarted and I was unable to cover the entirety of Mercedes’ match, but suffice to say, it was great, she can do no wrong, and she’s a five star machine.
It’s time for The Learning Tree!
Big Bill is out by himself to introduce the Michael Jordan of Michael Jordan’s, Chris jericho Jericho comes out with Bryan Kieth with a big wave, and asks who wants more TV Time, yo know he does. He’d like to thank the branches and shill a shirt.
Earlier today, he was eating corn, and gives Iowa some tips on how to grow cor properly. Kieth tells Iowa to respect Chris Jericho if they wanna grow good as corn.
Jericho respects all of his branches in the arena, at home, and backstage. There are a few youngsters who need his advice, and wants to invite them out now.
Here comes Private Party
Jericho says they’ve been doin great in AEW, but they have not been winning matches. Their basics are not up to snuff. He doesnt know who trained him, but he wasnt very good. Jericho was trained but Stu, and he knows a thing or two about how to do the basics properly. He watches their figh flying, it’s amazing, but they dont even climb the top rope properly. It’s technically nsound, guys.
Isaiah tells Jericho to teach them. They wanna see it. He’s a legend, OG, some would even call him the Caitlin Clark of AEW.
Jericho says ok, he will show them. He says this is how Owen taught him. Bottom rope, second, then top rope. See? Make sense? Did they learn?
Quen has a lesson from them.
Kassidy trips Jericho up on the top rope! lol. They send Keith out, then Bill. Kassidy to the top rope! SWANTON TO JERICHO! Quen next! Following th steps of Jericho. SHOOTING STAR!
We are BACK and Will Ospreay is asked how his body feels. Renee asks him about Daniel Garcia, but Will says he’s got to focus on Rey and a contract to sign, so he’s gotta go.
PAC gets a short promo saying he’s entering the Owen Hart Cup Tournament.
Hey All. It would mean THE WORLD to me if you checked out my short story on YouTube and left a comment! I genuinely wanna know what y’all think! Be sure to let me know you came from 411 if you do!

Total Rating: ****
Match Time: 15:06
Swerve hits the steps to stare Will down.
He climbs into the ring, and Will offers his hand out to shake.
Swerve is pissed, says Will still thinks it’s a damned game. This is real. This title can change Will’s life, but Swerve is the one standing in between that. Will is still a little child. Keep having these matches, because he can’t hold both worlds on his shoulders. He ain’t strong enough.
Will RIPS the AEW title away rom Swerve and holds both titles. He places them on his shoulders then turns to Swerve. He says they feel real comfortable on his shoulders.
Swerve grabs his title back and tells Will he’s lucky they’re still friends, because he’d put him in the grave otherwise.
End Show
