7 Ups & 6 Downs From AEW Dynamite: Thanksgiving (24 Nov)

2. You're Gonna Get Your F*ckin' Tooth Kicked Out

Bryan Danielson was a cruel bastard again last night, as he ground Colt Cabana down in his Chicago hometown. Disrespect shone through in every slap, kick, and submission, with Danielson pickling Cabana apart, stifling comeback spots in a match that could have benefitted from a greater pace, but served its purpose as another necessarily d*ckish performance for a sociopath obsessed with proving his superiority.

Things went up a notch when Hangman Page emerged afterwards. Danielson had little time to brag about knocking Cabana's tooth out when the AEW Champion hit the ring. He was clad in his gear this time, not casual clothes, challenging Bryan to a World Title match there and then. Danielson quickly shot down this "Coward Sh*t" straight away, as he'd already wrestled that night, though they soon leapt into a brawl that ended with Danielson bailing from a Buckshot Lariat.

The continued development of the nastier aspects of Danielson's personality continues. Rather than a full-on heel turn, this is more like a three-dimensional pro wrestling personality believably exploring another side of his character.
