9 Ups & 5 Downs From AEW Dynamite (Aug 12)

Downs...

5. Scant Appreciation

Private Party
AEW

Having AEW tag teams name their all-time favourite duos throughout the show would have been a complimentary touch had the majority of these vignettes not been so brief, with the Private Party and Butcher and Blade offerings particularly pointless. Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen like the Hardy Boyz, Butcher and Blade are Road Warriors fans, and they got about 20-30 seconds to tell us this. That's it.

These short interviews added nothing to the show. Dedicating a few more minutes to each and trimming the fat from elsewhere would have been of great benefit, though they felt like filler in their delivered form.
