6 Ups & 5 Downs From AEW Dynamite (Dec 23)
Ups...
6. A Top Flight Night For The Inner Circle
A fabulous evening for The Inner Circle kicked off with Chris Jericho and MJF's outstanding opener with Top Flight.
And let's talk about them for a second. Far, far from just Young Bucks carry jobs or background aerialists, Dante and Darius Martin are total prodigies. Scarily good for how young they are, they're certain too to only get better working Jericho in the form he's in at present. In the mood to show his colleagues that he could still go, his pace management alongside MJF was FTR-good to ensure the closing stretch got hot before Jake Hager's cheating and an MJF Heatseeker sealed the win.
Post-match, Hager's challenge to Wardlow seemed to rattle MJF, who later on grabbed a cameraman to film his curiously earnest show of love towards LAX. The stereo management of wounds opening up as others heal was sensational, elevating the angle far beyond the original pitch of the two mouthy frontmen.
