17 Ups & 2 Downs From AEW Dynamite (Nov 13)

Downs...

2. A Little Too Busy

There's a lot to cover with the Chris Jericho/MJF/Cody cluster segment and certainly too much for a single slide, so we'll get to the good (and there was plenty of it later).

As for the bad, there was just a little bit too much going on in this massive beast for everything to resonate the way it needed to, and while each moving part got over to a degree, that degree could've been higher if it wasn't so busy. Later, we will praise AEW for fitting so many stories into this week's Dynamite. Here, however, they did too much in too little time, resulting in a big series of moments that weren't spaced out enough to truly hit like knockout blows.

Great ambition here, but it didn't quite pay off. It's a minor quibble, though: the performances were outstanding.
