6 Ups & 5 Downs From AEW Dynamite (Dec 23)
3. PAC Vs The Butcher
An only-okay PAC match is still a pretty good wrestling match, but that's what this was, and - much like PAC's rust - it felt like a struggle to try and shake off.

Buried deep in the core of another flabby middle on Dynamite, the styles clash got the better of them both, as did Eddie Kingston's hype man commentary and the clunky inclusion of Lance Archer at the end.
It's the strangest thing, this whole feud. The entire cast of characters are the sort that should theoretically mesh perfectly, in combinations of matches you can't wait to watch. Yet, there's not been a week where it hasn't fallen a little below expectations. No trust in the process has been lost, but it'd be good to see the faith rewarded sooner rather than later.
