9 Ups & 2 Downs From AEW Dynamite (Oct 21)

Downs...

2. Steve-O Is Here... Okay?

Darby Allin Steve-O
AEW

Jackass star Steve-O guested on last night's Dynamite, introducing a stunt reminiscent of the old television show that saw Darby Allin get wrapped in a bodybag, then roll down a halfpipe. That was literally the extent of their segment.

This felt tacked on. Like Tony Hawk's Dynamite appearance a few months ago, it's something that could have been posted as a quick Twitter video. Here, it felt like it served no purpose, as we already know Darby is an insane man who's going to do insane things - and using Steve-O as window dressing doesn't really enhance that.
