10 Over-Hyped Wrestling Main Events NOBODY Even Remembers Now

9. The Young Bucks Vs The Brotherhood (AEW Fight For The Fallen 2019)

A match set-up in the aftermath of one of All Elite Wrestling's defining and most important outings, The Young Bucks Vs Cody and Dustin Rhodes existed because 'The American Nightmare' realised just how much he needed his older brother after the two bludgeoned one at Double Or Nothing 2019.

Before Dynamite's launch but after AEW's, the top stars were expected to steal every show until others could rise from underneath them, but the Rhodes/Jackson chemistry just never worked and the match fell substantially short of expectations.

Amidst a slew of missed or not-quite-right spots, the runtime spiralled out of control, not least because of how much that had happened elsewhere on the card. Kenny Omega and Cima had an uncharacteristically bland 22-minute affair in the semi-main, Adam Page and Kip Sabian went a needlessly long 19 minutes and two undercard tag matches passed the quarter of an hour mark when neither needed it.

Chasing near falls to get any remaining energy from an exhausted Jacksonville crowd, Daily's Place inaugural main event couldn't hold a candle to some of the classics it hosted with nobody there at all.
