[2021-10-23-AEW Dynamite] Bryan Danielson vs Dustin Rhodes

This is from the first round of the AEW World Title Eliminator Tournament (and for my money, the best match of the tournament). 

A great showcase between wrestlers from different generations; with Dustin barely keeping up against one of the best wrestlers in the world. You can see it from the feeling out segments, coming away always a step or two behind Bryan and the gap between them only continues to widen. Even Bryan just casually walking through his work on top leaves a mark on the old timer who can't just shake off the damage. Dustin has to pick his spots carefully if he hopes to have a chance at beating Bryan, but at the end of the day, he can't capitalize on those chances when it counts. It's the kind of story that best works in a form like pro wrestling, where the journey is palpable through every action and reaction. Moreover, there aren't many who're more adept at pulling it off than Bryan and Dustin here.
