As great as the main event segment on AEW was, it was at best, a 7/10 segment to me. And the sad thing is that it could have easily been a 10/10 segment that would have really gotten fans hooked had the final segment been treated with a little more seriousness by AEW.
The whole 'pep talk' thing would have been great had it not been a prelude to Mike Tyson coming out and getting in Chris Jericho's face in one of the most newsworthy moments on AEW Dynamite. As great as Vickie Guerrero is, I don't think that introducing the Inner Circle in the manner that she did was the right thing for this episode at least since, from the very start, this segment was presented as lacking in seriousness.
But what really killed this segment for me, personally, is the fact that Mike Tyson, the greatest boxer in the history of the sport, could not tear his shirt off in the same manner that Hulk Hogan made famous and he struggled with it, live on AEW Dynamite.
