Former ECW star gives his thoughts on the 2024 AEW Blood and Guts cage match finish

As seen during the 2024 AEW Blood and Guts cage match, Team AEW won after Darby Allin threatened to set Jack Perry on fire. While speaking on Busted Open Radio, former ECW star Bully Ray aka Bubba Ray Dudley praised the match and addressed criticism of the finish…

“[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.”

“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. 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.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingInc.com)
