4 Ups & 4 Downs From AEW Rampage (April 28)

1. This Can’t End Soon Enough

The Hardy Boys Hook Firm
AEW

"The Firm Deletion" happens on next week's Rampage. After that, AEW should seriously think about deleting the stable completely and doing something else with Ethan Page. Stokely Hathaway's faction is p*ss poor, but it couldn't hold a candle to Matt Hardy's acting during this pre-tape.

If somebody told you that Matt was ribbing the entire crew here, you'd believe it. His performance was ridiculously crummy; his cries of, "No! No! No!" were as hokey as they come, and his parting line ("Let's go find those son of a bitches!") was delivered like he was in the middle of a comedy skit.

This was so bad.

The Firm kidnapping Isiah Kassidy and tossing him off some scaffolding was the latest storyline wrinkle, but the whole story is on life support. Everyone involved in that "Firm Deletion" brawl better pull something out of nowhere next week. They're gonna have to!
