10 Ups & 0 Downs From AEW Dynamite (Nov 4)

2. "What Kinda Horsesh*t Is That?!"

Taz's excellent promo on Tony Khan and Full Gear would have finished as the top Up on any other night but this. Take nothing away from it, though: this absolutely ruled.

With a chip on his shoulder and a bone to pick, Taz told a story of being made to wait outside Khan's office for three hours, only to be informed the AEW President was busy speaking to wrestlers booked for Full Gear. This led perfectly to his next bugbear: Brian Cage and Ricky Starks' absence from the card.

Cage is 10-1, ranked number one, but nowhere to be found, while Ricky has won 10 of his last 11 matches and isn't even in the rankings. "What kinda horsesh*t is that?!", Taz barked brilliantly, targeting Cody and Darby Allin for being "entitled, spoiled brats" who'd been "given everything they want", then promising that Team Taz would play a role at Full Gear.

As usual, Taz's delivery is what put this over the top, though he's also right about most of what he says. Something's gotta give. "Make it make sense", indeed.
