Darby Allin and Sammy Guevara are touted as two of the four pillars of AEW’s future. Last Wednesday, the two clashed in a high-octane main event for the TNT Championship. The Spanish God retained his title after Andrade El Idolo interfered and struck Darby Allin with an iPad.
Speaking on his podcast the Jim Cornette Experience, Cornette panned the match. The industry veteran implied that without the babyface-heel dynamic, the bout was meaningless:
Cornette went on to explain how the lack of a traditional character dynamic could even be detrimental to the company and its talent:
Jim Cornette explained why the AEW Dynamite main event wasn’t a good match
In the same episode, Jim Cornette criticized the spot-heavy style of Darby Allin and Sammy Guevara. He believes the two are simply too small to be hitting each other with so many high-impact moves, and the match looked phony as a result:
This is hardly the first time Cornette has been critical of AEW’s oft-used “indie” style. However, with over 40 years of experience in the business, his opinions do tend to hold some weight.
Darby Allin and Sammy Guevara are fearless workers who will be an important part of AEW’s future. But perhaps, for the sake of their own longevity, they should hold back on using all their moves in every match.
