AEW announced on Collision that Wrestling Legends Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat and Ric Flair will be at AEW Dynamite on Wednesday for Blood & Guts.

Didn't even realize Flair was still working with them.

I'm excited for the show tonight, first time ever seeing this match in person. Obviously, still need to go to War Games in WWE at some point but still excited. The entire card is just three matches, Hangman Adam Page vs Hobbs in a Falls Count Anywhere Match and then the two Blood & Guts matches. This needs to be a PPV next year, why it's still a TV special is beyond me.

Just got home from AEW Dynamite a bit ago. I really wasn't sure what to expect with the Blood & Guts matches, I didn't even know what section to get but settled for on the side so I have a view of both rings and all the action. I thoroughly enjoyed the show, and while having only three matches I definitely got my money's worth. They definitely need to look into this being a PPV or create a new PPV to replace something like Full Gear that is themed around Blood & Guts. Was reading that there were commercials during the Blood & Guts matches, whether some were full screen, split screen but this match type is more so for PPV where you have no interruption due to commercials. Just a few notes from the live crowd...........

- Tony Khan brought out Ric Flair before the show and Flair gave a speech to the crowd. I guess he's still employed by AEW which explains why we never got Flair at all during Cena's retirement tour and what not. Flair was supposed to be involved in the segment with FTR & Ricky The Dragon Steamboat but he was recovering from surgery so TK opted for the preshow speech instead.

- The Women of AEW did fine for their first ever Blood & Guts match, early on when there's not many people in the ring it's easier to keep track of things. The more people enter, the more chaotic it gets, and it does get harder to follow the action as there are things happening in both rings. I was really impressed with the fact the cage itself didn't obstruct the view as much as I thought, that was my main concern with this match. I had a great view of the action and really enjoyed the match.

- Hangman vs Hobbs as the "cool down" so to speak between the two cage matches was great. I had a really great view of the spot at the end with Hangman knocking him off the rail through the table. It was a nice touch with the lights blinking on and off as I think they were near the electric cables or something, so sold that spot really well.

- Speaking of that segment with FTR...... Stokley Hathaway has Dirty Dom heat lol. We booed him out of the building and would not let him speak lol. It reminded me of going to RAW a couple years ago and Dom would get booed tremendously anytime he attempted to talk.

- As for the Men's Blood & Guts match, I mean what do you expect here? Moxley's going to bleed, Darby is going to die, your typical Men's match in AEW. Some insane spots during that match, kind of wish they let the Women do some crazy spots as well. I thought they were setting up a major return or Danielson would have got up from the announce table last second when they showed Briscoe was attacked backstage. Overall a great match, a great ending with Moxley tapping which makes me wonder if they might kick him out of the Death Riders next week on Dynamite.
