8 Ups & 4 Downs From AEW Dynamite (Oct 7)

Downs...

4. Time To Evolve

Young Bucks
WWE

The Young Bucks watching FTR vs. TH2 like owls was a funny little pop at WWE, though their paper-thin character work isn't connecting at the moment.

Alex Marvez, Tony Schiavone, and more have all been blasted by the superkicking duo lately, and it was the cameraman's turn last night, with the brothers Jackson accusing the poor sod of spying on them. This time, they had no money to throw at the downed man.

Kicking people is literally the extent of their characters at the moment. This was brought on from the disappointment of Hangman Page's betrayal, of course, but it isn't fleshed out at all. It appears that they are mistaking a quirk for genuine development here and the longer this stuff goes on, the less effective it becomes, with next to no effort being put into building actual personalities here.

The Jacksons are no more than sentient superkicks looking for a target at the moment. This is uncharacteristically unsubstantial by AEW and needs rectifying.
