7 Ups & 1 Down From AEW Dynamite (3 May - Review)
Downs…
1. Ricky Starks Vs Juice Robinson
Not for the want of trying, Juice Robinson and Ricky Starks struggled to recover from a mid-match spot that saw Starks' spiked and the two briefly work through a few miscommunications en route to the finish.
Falling afoul of the 2023 Good Wrestling Curse, this was "just" a nice bit of in-ring business from two men trapped in a story that feels like it's lost its way. If it ever even had it.
Jay White didn't get involved until after the bout and 'Switchblade' and 'Absolute' have looked a Double Or Nothing lock since Robinson's arrival several weeks ago, but there's never been a personal issue established between the pair. They're fighting because it's the natural pairing, but last week's Rampage tag satiated some of it, and neither man feels positioned to thrive afterwards regardless of the result.
