#AskGSM is a weekly Q&A video where I, Graham "GSM" Matthews, answer fan questions from Facebook, Twitter and YouTube in regards to the world of wrestling. Nothing is off limits, and this week’s edition touches upon a variety of topics including:

Josh "The Goods" Woods, Jeff Cobb, Kenny King and Brian Johnson def. Silas young, Cheeseburger, Rhett Titus and Joe Hendry in a Wild Card Match(From my Death Before Dishonor Fallout review...) We were told that the eight competitors were chosen at random (similar to what WWE did at Survivor Series 1995). I like stuff like this because it switches things up every so often and furthers feuds in unique ways. It also gives us some cool matches we've never seen before. With all of that being said, Young's team sucked. In all seriousness, this was an entertaining outing where everyone got to shine at one point or another. The best part was Woods pinning his "mentor" Young for the victory. Their post-match reactions were great, too. The Bouncers def. Slice Boogie and Chris BeyEyyy, Chris Bey! He's been making the rounds recently with appearances on 205 Live, IMPACT! Wrestling, and now ROH TV. I know Deonna Purrazzo pulled off the hat trick as well a few years ago, but this might be the first time a male has done it. He's incredibly talented and I'm shocked he hasn't been signed by anywhere yet. He and Boogie scored more offense than I thought they would and had a fun showing, but this was largely about The Bouncers and allowing them to maintain momentum coming off their big win at Death Before Dishonor.
Marufuji def. Impact World Tag Team Champion Josh AlexanderI figured Marufuji's latest IMPACT run wrapped up with his loss to Michael Elgin at Bound for Glory, but apparently it isn't over yet and that can only been seen as a positive. I've mentioned before how we haven't seen enough of Alexander on his own since he signed with IMPACT earlier this year, so it was cool he had that opportunity to shine here and I thought he made the most of it. This was an excellent opener, and with Marufuji winning, I'm wondering whether he'll find a partner and challenge for the Impact World Tag Team Championship soon. Jordynne Grace, rosemary and Alexis Nicole def. Impact Knockouts Champion Taya Valkyrie, Kiera Hogan and Madison RayneThis was a nice showcase for some of the ladies in IMPACT's stacked Knockouts division. What's crazy is that the likes of Tessa Blanchard, Tenille Dashwood, Su Yung and Havok weren't even involved. I don't think Nicole is officially signed, but maybe she will be soon. Grace was extra impressive in this match and I assume she'll be getting another shot at the Impact Knockouts Championship soon enough considering she pinned Valkyrie in this bout. I also hope Hogan isn't too hurt if her injury was legitimate.
Dustin Rhodes and Sonny Kiss def. Peter Avalon and QT MarshallNo explanation was given for why Rhodes decided to form a friendship with Kiss. They made for a good pairing, but it just didn't make any sense and felt random. On the bright side, at least we were given an introduction to who Marshall was last week on AEW Dark as part of Cody's Undesirable to Undeniable segment. Granted, he did nothing here to make me want to see him more often in the ring, but he did well. It was a fine tag match on the whole with Rhodes pinning Avalon for the victory after Avalon inadvertently collided with Leva Bates in the turnbuckle. Emi Sakura def. Allie, Sadie Gibbs and Penelope Ford in a Four-Way MatchAEW has a lot of very talented women, but you would never know because most of them are never on Dynamite. Sakura is the only one of the four to have wrestled on Dynamite in the past month, and fans were given zero reason to care about her aside from how she's skilled in the ring. They put together a pretty good four-way here and I liked what I saw from Gibbs and Ford. Gibbs has been under contract for months but has only wrestled here and in the Casino Battle Royale at All Out. It's high time she gets spotlighted more.
