13 Ups & 4 Downs From AEW Fyter Fest 2019

9. Skull Stuff

Cody Chair Shot
AEW

Shawn Spears' unprotected chairshot on Cody was grim, hard to watch, and undeniably stupid, particularly with concussions so prevalent these days.

But holy sh*t, was it impactful.

Stuff like this isn't for everyone, but if the announcers are to put a chairshot over as concussive, it has to be done like this. Anything less wouldn't be believable. That thing hit like a hammer blow and your writer isn't in the business of telling grown professional adults what they can and can't do with their own bodies. For that reason and because it got over, this is an Up.

Impact is impact, whether ghoulish or not.
