they should've put Daniel Bryan up against a more high profile opponent and had MJF defend the world title

Nah, they should've just ran 1 fukking show in that building and not 2 back-to-back. If you add up the Collision attendance plus Wrestledream, you get the same number they had when they debuted in Seattle for the first Dynamite of 2023.

They have done this a few times since Collision started. I know off the top of my head they did this with Dynamite and Collision once in Canada and they did it with Collision and All Out in the United Centee.

My guess is that they don’t have two complete setups and crews to be able to do back to back TV shows in separate arenas or markets.

And they probably get the arena at a greatly reduced rate for doing two consecutive nights. Especially since it’s not the busy summer season anymore.

Still, they need to invest in the physical resources and manpower once that new tv/streaming deal money starts kicking in so they can avoid having to do that.

Some people recover quickly from concussions. Not everyone is on the same time frame

True but one would think they’d be extra cautious with one of their top guys. Let me get a mini vacation and then bring him back.

Swerve need to main event, and he need to win. The face can win the feud in the end and get his getback, but you have the opportunity for Swerve in his first "high profile" matchup, to be established as someone not to mess with. Someone who stepped up to the plate, and at his first at-bat hit it outta the park. Give the guy coming from lower in the card as much clout as you can right away, make him look on the level of a "former world champ", even if we all know Swerve the better talent. Better for the feud, and for him long term in general.

Based on the ending of Dynamite last night, I think he's going over.

Will be a typical heel win if he wins, which I hope he does, because a clean L will not be good for Hangman. He needs to be built back up into that main event/title contender tier

Swerve needs a big time win more than Page does.

 

[TOAD99]

Swerve needs a win. Preferably clean just to establish another major star. A dirty win will still do the trick tho

 

[Cattle Mutilation]

Swerve needs a big time win more than Page does.

Agreed
