Although Cornette stated a few segments on AEW Dynamite were underwhelming, it was a home-run for Tony Khan's promotion. Here's what Jim Cornette had to say about last week's edition of Dynamite:
"Tony Khan gave me a birthday present. Top to bottom, that was the most professional program that they have ever done and that they have ever aired on TNT. They had a big building with a big crowd, JR was up since they had big stars. You had the names - Adam Cole, Bryan Danielson, CM Punk, FTR. They worked good, the matches boomed. There were a few stinkers, but overall, it was the best TV program top to bottom, the most professional TV they have ever done. They gave me a birthday present," said Jim Cornette.
