12 Ups & 4 Downs From AEW Dynamite (Feb 5)

Downs...

4."Yuka Sakazawi"

Yuka Sakazaki
AEW

Let's kick things off with everybody's (least?) favourite AEW nitpick: Jim Ross getting peoples' names wrong.

Yuka Sakazaki returned to AEW for the first time since June, and that's great. What's not so great is JR saying asking that Excalibur "tell us more about Yuka Sakazawi" as she was making her entrance (to the wrong music, which supplements this Down).

Look, Ross is the greatest announcer of all time. He's a cherished wrestling institution and a sacred cow. He can't be getting away with stuff like this, though. Not every other week.
