4 Ups & 6 Downs From AEW Dynamite (June 4)
Ups...
4. An Elite Opening
You've got to love it when any wrestling show kicks off with a hot tag match, and Dynamite did. PAC and Penta were making their debut as a team (both normally tag with Rey Fenix), but they gelled well with The Young Bucks. Also, this is worth saying again. The Bucks are infinitely more palatable as heels.
They get it.
Sure, it's slightly annoying that AEW's referees rarely enforce the rules or any kind of double-team punishments in tag bouts, but even that can't offset the action when it's good. This was good. The Bucks ran through a truncated greatest hits tour of their spots, and they peppered things with enough heelish nonsense to make it fun.
PAC was handed a 'visual win' when he hit the Black Arrow, but Matt Jackson leapt in to save his brother from the loss. Then, The Bucks had to rely on Brandon Cutler to help them score the win. This was well laid out, and it even managed to tease that PAC and Penta could come back for more.
