    I found this week’s to be a bit of a step below the last stretch. They’ve been on a real hot streak though lately so a down week one of these days was sure to come. With all of The Elite getting the week off though and them holding significant MJF/Cole developments for Saturday this was bound to happen. The in-ring action was really good though, as always. Swerve/Darby is such a good pairing that you can never complain about a Wednesday when you get to see them do what they do.

    That sign about the Women’s division says it all though regarding them. I can’t help but wonder what the root cause here is, is it a WBD thing by any chance or just a Tony thing? You’ve heard scattered reports over the years about how WBD does have an influence on who gets screentime and whatnot and in ROH you’re seeing a much better booked women’s division. I can’t help but wonder if it’s a WBD directive to limit their minutes due to historically lower ratings for their segments and to focus primarily on the marketable women like Britt/Jade/etc which is hurting the division at large.

      I think you’re right: WBD has a lot to do with the women’s match time. I remember a “report” saying something similar a few months back. I hate to say it, but it also doesn’t help that many of the wrestlers they feature are pretty green.

      As for the episode: it wasn’t the best Dynamite…especially coming off Blood and Guts. And It doesn’t help that the two most anticipated matches of the week are both happening on Collision (Tag and Ladder match). I was watching Dynamite but looking past it at the same time, if that makes sense.

      Completely agree with you. Very MEH episode. I kept thinking that although not every episode can be great, if I’d paid to go see this show, I would’ve felt let down.
