    While not as strong as Survivor Series, I thought this was a really strong match. Shawn is very clearly the Sid whisperer. Solid shine, nice bumps to set up extended heat, a great, extended hope spot that's cut off with a nasty powerbomb on the floor. The finish calling back to Survivor Series was also really well done. Big fan of this series. ***3/4

    Everybody loved The Acclaimed. Once. Onto the Bowens singles run.

    MJF/Hechicero was fine but a far, far cry from the Sabre match last weekend.

    I think he's actually opened quite a few PPVs. Wardlow, the Cole tag title match at All In, Darby. Perhaps another 1 or 2.

    That's what's currently holding me back from ordering tonight. Do I really want to go to sleep that late on a Sunday night?

    On the other hand, if he owns the proper IP is he really out of line defending his assets? Jordynne Grace can CTC if its that important to her to stay in his lane.

    Absolutely loved. Likely my minis MOTD and one of the best lucha outings overall as well. This was the type of active, engaging mat work I can get behind.

    It took all of one night for Jacob Fatu to eclipse Solo as the proper lead on that side of the ledger. I don't think it happens given his age and history, but that guy is pure fire. Fingers crossed they don't slow roll Roman's return until Mania.

    So how do folks see the Owen playing out? Page returning as the wild card to destroy Owen's friend Jarrett en route to a strong heel run through Danielson and a third match with Strickland certainly seems plausible. Short of that it feels like Danielson has to win. But if he does is really challenging Swerve? Dragon/Ospreay for the title would certainly work but would've been better if Dragon won the first match followed by the title and then Ospreay won the Owen. They've got options here but I'm curious how it plays out as I don't think there's any chance Ospreay wins the title at FD.

    Was the Gunther/Orton finish designed to build a rematch or just a botch that they're playing off of?

    I know they ran Inoki/Saito a few years earlier, but was bringing back this gimmick any kind of response to or prompted by Onita & FMW? Just seems like such an odd call in a vacuum.

    Perhaps I benefitted from having zero expectations unlike most of this crew's well heralded classics, but in the moment this even felt head and shoulders above the the 4/20 six man as my MOTY even with the lack of a decisive finish. Just incredible work throughout with Jumbo in particular delivering one of his nastiest performances ever. The early work on Kawada's gut is enough to make most matches great, but the back half with Jumbo/Taue just viciously trying to break Misawa's face was incredible. One of the easiest ***** I've marked down in some time.

    I know there's a thread for great matches under 10 minutes but at 4:50 this is one of the best sub 5 minutes matches I've seen. Phenomenal work, selling, fire and heat. Everyone crushed it. If there's such a thing as **** 5 minute match this is it.

    Is the sound off for anyone? It sounds like the commentary and crowd are significantly turned down.
  15. WingedEagle
    That's for the 6 wrestlers who haven't broken a sweat to figure out. I'm good here. I don't think I've ever gone into a match with expectations that high and the match actually destroyed all said expectations. Goddamn.
  16. WingedEagle
    So that had to be an angle with the way they let Ospreay get close and check on him and have the "doctors" sit him up, right?
  17. WingedEagle
    This fucking match. They are not disappointing.
  18. WingedEagle
    Do you really want a babyface getting booed out of a stadium though?
  19. WingedEagle
    I know its apparently preordained that Swerve takes the title tonight, but Ospreay should really win it from a big time heel like Joe at Wembley.
  20. WingedEagle
    Right? How do you not absolutely love and get drawn in by just how much much *he* loves every outing?
  21. WingedEagle
    Here we fucking go!

    Had Jericho lost I wouldn't have had any major objections to that match. Jericho took some sick, stupid bumps for a man his age and for no reason at all. But now this saga must continue to the delight of no one outside of those pulling the strings. Meanwhile, what exactly is it that Hook does other than look cool outside the ring? Dude seems like the stoner version of his dad who thinks he's the human suplex machine and indy Ken Shamrock, but nothing he does remsebles that.
  23. WingedEagle
    Loved it as well but Wardlow's appearance and involvement brought it down for me. Between this and the Okada/Pac finish with the ref there's been some funkier finishes tonight than is typical for AEW.
  24. WingedEagle
    Ha apparently I'm on an island here! Perhaps I'll check it out again tomorrow. Just didn't seem to grab me the way both of them typically do.
  25. WingedEagle
    Am I the only one watching this and thinking something is off between Okada & Pac? The work is fine and both are seemingly doing their thing, but perhaps that's the problem. Okada has been his standard, slow build self while Pac's been looking to GO and as a result neither are really shining. Its been pretty good but pretty good feels like a massive disappointment relative to expectations.
