6 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Dynamite (November 15 - Results & Review)

Downs...

3. Regurgitated Filler

Gunn Club
AEW

Dynamite developed a "that really boring bit of Collision" flavour when the Gunns entered, beat two jobbers within seconds, and vowed to defeat MJF for the ROH World Tag Team titles. That was it.

Inoffensive, you could argue, but the Gunns have done this sort of thing ritually on Collision. It's pure filler and almost a complete waste of time. The Gunns asked, rhetorically, what they could do in a handicap match after such a dominant showing in a squash. This felt insulting, almost, echoing those times WWE beat you over the head with an explanation of a stip.

Imagine what the Gunns would do to just one guy!!!

This was nothing a backstage pre-taped promo couldn't have accomplished.
