3 Ups & 4 Downs From AEW Rampage (Nov 5)

1. Psychology?

Adam Cole John Silver

...this.

Cole took a 'Con-Chair-To' from Christian Cage on Dynamite, right? Yes, so why was he wrestling a back-and-forth match on Rampage 48 hours later? Some fans are already excusing AEW for this because Cole remembered to sell the after effects, but the guy was literally twitching on Wednesday.

Tony Schiavone had also barked out questions about whether or not Cole would even make it to Full Gear. Don't worry, Tony - the Superkliq member made it to Rampage! This was a bit of a missed opportunity. If anything, Cole's match with Silver should've been cancelled, or AEW should've put one of The Bucks in there as a late replacement.

Credit to Cole for selling his head and neck a little though. At least he had the smarts to do that, but this match didn't need to happen. The 'Con-Chair-To' should've been protected way better than this. Did Christian use plastic chairs, or something?
