What about Chris Jericho getting a fluke win to end Goldberg&#8217;s streak?<\/li>\n<li>How can AEW live up to the more sports-like aspirations they&#8217;ve touted if rules and devastating maneuvers don&#8217;t consistently matter?<\/li>\n<li>Did Steve Austin really drive to a bar from the hospital with two fans after he broke his neck at Summerslam?<\/li>\n<li>Was Jim Ross doing AEW a service with his critical comments about Orange Cassidy at All Out?
