Bully Ray enjoyed the Blood & Guts match on AEW Dynamite, though he did have a critique about the finish. Wednesday’s show saw Team AEW defeat The Elite after Darby Allin threatened to set a handcuffed and gasoline-doused Jack Perry on fire, which caused Matt Jackson to surrender. Bully talked about the match on Busted Open Radio and you can see some highlights below (h/t to Wrestling Inc):
On the match: “[It was] extremely entertaining… I understood the psychology behind the finish. I had a lot of first-time callers call into After Dark last night that were at the arena … who said that the live crowd was not happy with the actual finish. … He said there were definitely rumblings and groans in the crowd.”
On the ending not playing out in a satisfying way: “There was not enough drama, there was not enough suspense. There was no ‘Holy s**t, he might actually set him on fire’ factor, because he was a whole ring’s length away. You gotta bring people right to the edge and then you take it away from them.”
On enjoying the match as a whole: “I didn’t think the finish was flat enough to take away from the great hour of action. I also enjoyed the fact that they incorporated some psychology into the match with Hangman not coming down during his entrance, and then jumping Swerve in the aisleway and handcuffing him.”
