AEW DYNAMITE FIFTH ANNIVERSARY SHOW REPORT

By Anthony Pires on 2024-10-02 22:35:00

It’s Wednesday, that means on this very night, 5 years ago, along this same stretch of road in a dense fog just like this. I saw the worst accident I ever seen. There was this sound, like a garbage truck dropped off the Empire State Building…wait, that’s the legend of Large Marge. But it IS the five year anniversary of AEW Dynamite!!!!  Excalibur, Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinnes have the call of the action.

Pac, Jon Moxley, Claudio Castignoli and Marina Shafir have ominous words for Wheeler Yuta and Bryan Danielson.
