6 Ups & 6 Downs From AEW Dynamite (23 Oct)

2. Going The Comedy Route

Here's another wobble.

Every single bit of discussion about the upcoming Full Gear headliner between Kenny Omega and Hangman Page was comedic. Omega called Hangman's "Cowboy Sh*t" nothing more than "Coward Sh*t", then Page talked Halloween costumes with The Dark Order.

Jesus, this was poorly thought out. Comedy and laughs were never the way to go with the top program in the company, and it honestly sucked to see Hangman revert back to goofy, fun-loving crap after a strong promo on last week's show. That was a breakout moment for him on the mic, and it needed follow-up.

Bantering with John Silver and Evil Uno about dressing up as Bambi was never gonna cut it. WWE would get crucified for this sort of wishy-washy nonsense, so it's important that AEW receive the same treatment. This was awful.
