8 Ups & 2 Downs From AEW Dynamite: The Crossroads (Mar 3)

1. Tully Blanchard Pulls It Off

So much could have gone wrong when 67-year-old Tully Blanchard came out of retirement last night. The former Horseman was an extreme disappointment in his last big ECW matches - and those came more than 20 years ago. On top of that, he hadn't wrestled in the best part of 14 years, is three decades removed from his prime... and is 67 years old.

Somehow, he pulled it off.

Blanchard was kept well-protected in a blast of a six-man tag that saw the younger wrestlers carry much of the load. Still, his contributions were great. Whether beating Jurassic Express up in the corner, faking out of a tope, or hitting his signature slingshot suplex on Marko Stunt, Tully looked as good as you can expect somebody of his age. He deserves all the credit in the world for doing this alongside FTR, who must have had a blast teaming with one of their idols.

Luchasaurus ended up taking the pin thanks to a disguised cameraman, who turned out to be Shawn Spears. Unmasking after the bell, he partook in AEW's most overt Four Horsemen tease yet, as Arn Anderson watched on, smiling, from the ramp.

Bringing JJ Dillon in was a lovely touch as well, with the legendary manager slipping a shoe for Dax Harwood to blast Jungle Boy with. On the night of Jim Crockett Jr.'s passing, it was both heartening and uplifting to see so many of his former staples doing their thing on national television, JJ included.

Wrestling is supposed to be fun. Not everything needs to be a four-star banger, and this is proof of that.

Long live Tully Blanchard.
