"Talent was very solid on their work rate, staff was professional as well as respectful. Production was at a high level. The crowd was into every aspect of the show which says they're doing it right. Tony Khan is respected and a pleasure to talk to. My gut tells me that he is looking out for the talent. Had a great time." stated Steamboat.

Sorry Ricky Steamboat, Every time you've met Chris Jericho, The Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Rolla, he has had a new look, https://t.co/R7DxQv9KEp
When his appearance was announced, Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat received a stern warning from former WWE Superstar Chris Jericho to steer clear of him. During his appearance on Dynamite, Steamboat had a run-in with The Wizard himself and the rest of the Jericho Appreciation Society.
When Jericho confronted the WWE legend, a couple of his fellow faction members attempted to threaten Steamboat. The Dragon would end up getting physical and even punched Angelo Parker during the backstage segment.
