Early AEW Dynamite on Tubi - Worth Going Back to the Beginning

[Amy]

The first 101 episodes of AEW Dynamite from 2019 to 2021 have appeared on Tubi for free streaming. For people who were not watching AEW from the beginning or who want to revisit the early run, this is now straightforward access.

Is early AEW worth revisiting, and what do you think the quality difference is between 2019 Dynamite and 2026 Dynamite?

The debut episode is worth watching for context. The Rhodes moments specifically hit differently now knowing where everything went

[HeartbreakKidCurtis18]

Early Dynamite had an energy that came from everyone involved feeling like they were building something. That is harder to replicate once you are an established promotion

[GhostRider63]

The in-ring quality was excellent from episode one. Cody vs Sammy Guevara, the early Kenny Omega matches, Chris Jericho having one of the best runs of his career

Some of the presentation was rough. Commentary, graphics, camera work all improved significantly over the first two years. The matches aged better than some of the production choices

Going back to 2019 Dynamite after following 2026 Dynamite is interesting because you can see which storyline threads were picked up and which were abandoned

[Frost Orca]

The crowd energy in those first shows was unlike anything in wrestling television at the time. The Double or Nothing payoff had audiences that were genuinely electric

2026 Dynamite is a more polished product. Whether it is better is a different question and the answer depends on what you value in wrestling television
