10 Wrestlers AEW Has Already Made Better

Luchasaurus' injury stinks. The hard-kicking big man's hot tags are a surefire pop every time and Jurassic Express looked like they were on the verge of breaking out in the tag tournament, but it wasn't to be. Out went the dinosaur and in came tiny, tiny Marko Stunt, sending frothing Jim Cornette types into an online frenzy.

"Marko's a joke," some argued. "Him going toe-to-toe with Pentagon Jr. is unrealistic!"

Absolutely. There's no way a 5'2" scamp whose gimmick is basically a child should be matching one of the sport's deadliest head-droppers. Here's the thing, though: for 90% of that match, Stunt wasn't "matching" Pentagon and Fenix. He was getting the p*ss beaten out of him.

This was a prolonged, brutal beatdown from two menacing d*ckheads who knew they could have ended the bout at any moment, but kept going because they're evil as hell and wanted to prolong the agony. That's how the match played out. Could it have been shorter? Perhaps, but to claim Stunt did anything other than showcase a few flashy moves in between getting wrecked suggests you weren't watching.

... and he got over! With thousands of people! Like him or not, Marko is now a bigger deal than ever before.
