25 Worst Wrestling Moments Of 2024

23. Callis Family Confusion

Chris Jericho

Another seemingly indistinct Dynamite segment this might have been, but Don Callis ousting Will Ospreay from his family for the second time and after he'd already amicably walked away was an irritating inditement of how little attention is still being paid to many a storyline in AEW. 

Suspension of disbelief remains as vital as ever in pro wrestling, but the last thing any promotion wants is for a fan to sit forward, Leonardo Dicaprio meme-style to spot something they really should. An unforced error like this overcomplicated a match with Ricochet and Konosuke Takeshita that had already been arrived at via controversial non-finish weeks earlier.

Callis rebadged his group once again the aftermath of Ospreay losing the gold to Takeshita in their WrestleDream ripper, and the latest incarnation might be, for better and worst, the last. After binning off both Kenny Omega and Ospreay in constant pursuit of the next corruptible ace figure, Dirty Don might have a chance to pick up steam once again.
