16 Things You Probably Missed From AEW Dynamite (23 Oct)
Chris Jericho = pro wrestling 2019's greatest troll...
Next week on AEW Dynamite (a spooky Halloween edition that'll see fans dressed as characters from Rick & Morty, according to Cody), tag-team legends/current NWA stars The Rock N' Roll Express will be in the house to present the winners of AEW's Tag Title tournament with some shiny new belts. That's a great use of legendary names, and it's a decision dripping with retro goodness.
This week's Dynamite was dripping with goodness of another kind. Namely, hidden gem goodness.
One thing the company must be more mindful of is simple logic though. There were several points during Wednesday's show that defied basic wrestling psychology, and it led to some moments when synergy between match and announcers felt a little off. It's not a deal breaker for most, admittedly. AEW do a stellar job of appealing to a spot-hungry audience.
Some of the nuances on tap here include brutal moves, why one worker's sell job stood out, Chris Jericho being a top troll, some loose inter-promotional booking, MJF creating new nicknames for the AEW Champ and someone getting stomped right in the ass.
In the ass...
