AEW Showed The World What Wrestling Can Be
from Wrestle Chop: WWE Wrestling Podcast
I honestly don't know how AEW managed to pull this off. Last night's Rebel Heart Dynamite was one of the best tribute shows I've ever watched. AEW honored Rebel, brought much-needed awareness to ALS, and gave fans some incredibly emotional moments with Rebel and Britt Baker — all while still putting on a genuinely great wrestling show. And then there was the heartbreaking tribute to The Butcher, Andy Williams, who passed away just days ago. AEW found a way to acknowledge that loss without allowing the entire show to become depressing. Instead, they celebrated the people involved and kept the wrestling moving. We also got Britt Baker's return to the ring, Steven Borden's AEW television debut with Darby Allin, Will Ospreay vs. David Finlay, Andrade vs. Beast Mortos, Swerve & The New Level vs. The Conglomeration, Thekla confronting Mercedes Moné and Willow Nightingale, and the Young Bucks vs. Kyle Fletcher & Kevin Knight in a Tables Match. And I have to give a huge shout-out to Tony Khan and AEW. Whatever your opinion of AEW is, Tony didn't have to turn a major television show into something this meaningful. He didn't have to put the spotlight on ALS awareness or give Rebel this kind of platform. But he did — and I think AEW deserves enormous credit for it. This wasn't just a great tribute show. It was a great episode of Dynamite.
