12 Ups & 2 Downs From AEW Dynamite (Mar 5)

Downs...

2. The Quest Continues

QT Marshall Shawn Spears
AEW

The Dark storyline featuring Shawn Spears hunting for his perfect tag team partner made its way from Dark to Dynamite via short promo this week and it's hard to imagine it did much to convince people to buy in.

This "call to arms" saw Spears and Tully Blanchard encouraging hopefuls to hit up their hashtag or send them an email if interested in teaming with 'The Chairman,' who has had a rotten run of luck lately. This is partly on him and his manager. Put over as a genius mastermind, Blanchard has auditioned Peter Avalon, Brandon Cutler, and Colin Delaney as potential partners.

Spears has slid way down the rankings since the Cody feud. The Joey Janela feud failed to take and this one's going the same way, with little thought or effort put into providing legitimate reasons for investment.
