12 Ups & 2 Downs From AEW Dynamite (Mar 11)

by Andy H Murray

1. Death Comes To Dynamite

Death Triangle
AEW

Death Triangle debuted with aplomb last night, taking Private Party and Joey Janela apart in an awesome first in-ring chapter for wrestling's most interesting new faction.

Walking out to a darker, less sh*tty version of the Lucha Brothers' theme, the trio immediately felt and looked the part as a big-time, cohesive stable. A belter of a bout followed. This was all-action, go-go-go, adrenaline-pumping pro-wrestling, with no extra fat, no screwing around, and no unnecessary slowdowns. That's exactly want you want from this cluster of wrestlers: exciting, fast-flowing work for an invested crowd, with great spots like Marq Quen and Janela working a Gin and Juice into a Death Valley Driver.

Death Triangle were always going to win here but the quality of the action compensated for any predictability, with PAC's Black Arrow sealing the deal. A supplemental Up for the post-match angle, too, as Best Friends and Orange Cassidy ran the bastards off, building towards the inevitable trios bout.

While most of Dynamite's other content had more substance, this was a much-needed sugar rush. Death Triangle are off to a flier.
