Before this week's AEW Dynamite, Tully Blanchard last wrestled in 2006.

The 67-year-old legend returned to in-ring action in a six-man tag team match on AEW Dynamite. He teamed up with FTR to face Jurassic Express.

For a man his age, Blanchard had a good outing in the ring. J.J. Dillon, The Four Horsemen's manager, was present ringside and got involved in some shenanigans as well. Towards the end of the match, a masked man assisted the heels - FTR and Blanchard - to win the match. The masked man was revealed to be Shawn Spears with a new blonde look.

Not only did Dillon reunite with Blanchard, but after the match, Arn Anderson briefly appeared to give a Four Horsemen salute to his Four Horsemen allies.

As a whole, this entire match/sequence had three major plot points:

1. Tully Blanchard's in-ring return.
2. Shawn Spears' return to AEW television.
3. The Four Horsemen's connections were showcased in a significant way.

The Four Horsemen were a major part of Jim Crockett Promotions. This week's AEW Dynamite had to be a great show for people who grew up watching the stable in the 80s and 90s.

Then again, FTR and Blanchard wrestled a kayfabe dinosaur and his wild allies. So this was a good example of old and new professional wrestling beliefs mixing well together.
