#4 J.J. Dillon on AEW Dynamite

AEW couldn't get more WCW than this. The upstart wrestling organization loves to reference history, and J.J. Dillon accompanying Tully Blanchard and FTR on an episode of AEW Dynamite was a clear example of that.

J.J. Dillion is an icon in pro-wrestling and, more importantly, one of the greatest managers in wrestling history. His most popular run was as the manager of the original Four Horsemen. The group at the time consisted of Ric Flair, Ole, Arn Anderson, and Tully Blanchard. To be clear, J.J. was Tully's manager at the time.

Interestingly enough, Dillon was also part of WWE, but as a front office executive. Fans during the Attitude Era probably remember Dillon as the on-air commissioner of WCW. Fans would probably recognize him trying to get Sting back in the ring after he donned 'The Crow' gimmick.

As with keeping with others, AEW has taken the best things about WCW, Jim Crockett Promotions, and even WWE and put it together on Dynamite & Rampage. It's history in making, and AEW fans are the ones that benefit the most.
