4 Ups & 4 Downs From AEW Rampage (May 13)

1. Who Are The Good Guys?!

Also, who the f*ck are fans supposed to root for?!

AEW still refuses to play ball with people during this feud between Scorpio Sky/Ethan Page/Dan Lambert and Sammy Guevara/Tay Conti. Neither side is particularly likeable, especially when Sky is taking cheap exits and the latter loved-up couple are rubbing their romance in everyone's faces.

The presentation is all over the place here. Yes, modern pro wrestling loves to yak on about "shades of grey", but there still needs to be some sort of clue for folks watching at home. If Sky is a devious piece of work who hides behind his mates, and Sammy is an in-your-face jock, then who do fans get behind?

This week's script called for Guevara to run Men Of The Year off before standing over a fallen Kazarian. So, Sammy and Tay are looking out for others now? That clashes with how they're presenting themselves on social media too.
