8 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Dynamite (16 Oct)

Downs...

3. Just Get To The Point

Dan Lambert American Top Team Men Of The Year

Hmm.

Sadly, everyone in American Top Team not-named Paige VanZant feels pretty interchangeable. AEW has done a poor job of explaining why wrestling fans should care about these invading MMA-ers, or why Men Of The Year seem so content to get lost in the shuffle alongside them.

Dan Lambert is good on the mic, sure, but the sooner they get to this 10-man tag the better. This writer just can't shake the thought that feuding with Top Team is a marked step down for Chris Jericho and his Inner Circle buddies - they deserve a bit better than this.

On the plus side, Scorpio Sky did well with his lines, and there is value in a Sky vs. Sammy Guevara match for the TNT Title down the line. That might be the only silver lining to this situation though. Everyone else in Top Team needs a little more context.
