[2020-05-23-AEW-Double Or Nothing] Jon Moxley vs Mr. Brodie Lee

[ShittyLittleBoots]

Jon Moxley defends the AEW World Heavyweight Title

This was badass as hell. Felt & looked like a true pro-wrestling fight between two guys who don't like each other very much. Brodie was just so great brutalizing Moxley with his superb looking offense, and Mox himself also brought the goods with his vicious offensive arsenal. The finishing stretch has to be one of my favorite scenes of 2020 with Brodie kicking out of those Paradigm Shifts, and Mox going into a killer mode because of it, totally destroying MISTER Brodie by relentlessly targeting that cut on his head & slapping in that tight choke for the W. ****

I was massively letdown by this. I don't find Lee engaging as a heel and Moxley felt like he was phoning this one in. I found the excess brawling around ring and weapon spots massively buried the previous match's no disqualification stipulation seeing as this had more tropes of a hardcore match without actually being one. The dive through the stage and the finish were cool, but I can't say I was a fan of this whole match.
