AEW Dynamite 12/1/2021

AEW Dynamite 12/1/2021
 
Bryan Danielson vs Alan Angels

This was to put over that Bryan is now a heel. I don't support Bryan being a heel right now. I'm not buying it whatsoever and the crowd clearly would rather have him be a face. I still don't get the whole logic behind Angels having a mask(while having a normal name) and then getting umasked by his partner in a random match. Let some heel beat him in a mask vs hair match instead.
 
CM Punk vs Lee Moriarty

MJF saying, "Why has this match lasted this long?" pretty much sums this up. This was just time filler and Lee did some very generic babyface stuff here. 

Orange Cassidy/Adam Cole segment

This made no sense and was totally stupid. OC had to see the Bucks coming in and it made no sense for Cole not to nail OC when he had his hands in his pockets.
 
Wardlow vs AC Adams

Wardlow has 6 more losses than Austin Gunn does at the time of this match. Let that sink in. More filler.
 
Sting and Darby Allin vs The Gunn Club

This is a battle of undefeated tag teams. Billy's cobra clutch bomb on Darby was really nice and Darby's two topes were awesome. This was stupid though. Colten beat everyone for over a year just to lose a random tv tag match. Stuff like this just buries the ranking system and undefeated streaks. It also just confirmed that the despite their record, the Gunn Club are just goofs. Awful booking that I guess you have to be a Booker of the Year to understand.

The Lio Rush/Team Tazz segment didn't work and neither did the Rosa/Jade segment. Not that I'm going to watch it, but letting Rosa be a commentator when she speaks in Spanish half the time doesn't make a lot of sense.
 
Kris Statlander vs Ruby Soho

I enjoyed Tazz's version of Ruby's theme. The armdrag sequence was sloppy. Ruby had a wild surprised face to a kickout here and they dropped each other on their heads a few times before Ruby won.

Atlanta Street Fight - Andrade El Idolo vs Cody Rhodes

Cody's back was seriously peeling here. This started out well and ended up being okay, though it went a little longer than it needed to. I thought some of the moves with the chairs were stupid as it probably hurt the person doing them as much as the person receiving them. AEW of course had to stick in some comedy here with a golden shovel and sledgehammer. I was really surprised by the flaming table spot but wasn't surprised by Brandi of course having to get her tv time in.

Overall thoughts: This show was mostly filler with the main event being the only thing that was really of note.
