AEW Dynamite 3/3 MOTYC: Shaq & Jade Cargill vs. Cody Rhodes & Red Velvet HM: FTR & Tully Blanchard vs. Jungle Express MOTYC: Nyla Rose vs. Ryo Mizunami, AEW Women's Championship Eliminator Tournament Finals I considered making Shaq an HM, but I honestly think this might be the best celebrity wrestling match I've ever seen. Shaq had a couple of cool spots, the focus was on Jade and Velvet, and Shaq went through a goddamn table at the end. I had almost no interest in this match before it happened and was completely blown away.

All from AEW Revolution - 3/8 MOTYC: Casino Tag Team Battle Royale MOTYC: Hikaru Shida vs Ryo Mizunami MOTYC: Darby and Sting vs Team Taz HM: Kenny Omega vs Jon Moxley EXPLODING BARBED WIRE DEATH MATCH HM: Hangman Adam Page vs Big Money Matt Hardy First 3 matches speak for themselves. The street fight was probably the most well-done cinematic match I've ever seen and managed to make Sting cool as hell again. The other two matches were just amazing stuff from top to bottom. Mox vs Omega would have been MOTYC if the ending explosion was insane OR if Omega came out and said he just wanted to see Moxley scared at the end. Even with the dud of an ending, that match was great. I also REALLY liked Page vs Hardy and this stuck out as a really good match for me. Hardy seemed especially violent and crazy and the Dark Order saved their Cowboy buddy.

HM: Christian Cage vs Matt Sydal HM: Eddie Kingston and Jon Moxley vs The Acclaimed MOTYC: Serena Deeb vs Red Velvet HM: Young Bucks vs Varsity Blonds From AEW Dynamite 5/19/21. People have already covered the greatness of 3 of these matches, but I also REALLY liked Eddie and Mox taking on the Acclaimed. It's not a match of the year or anything, but it was fun and Eddie and Mox's chemistry is amazing. Eddie perfectly plays the weird friend who keeps saying he'd murder someone if you need them to, it's great.

A couple of days late on this, but: HM: Christian Cage vs. Angelico HM: The Young Bucks/Brandon Cutler vs. PAC/Penta El Zero Miedo/Eddie Kingston HM: Nyla Rose vs. Leyla Hirsch HM: Hangman Page/10 vs. Brian Cage/Powerhouse Hobbs MOTYC: Miro vs. Evil Uno All from AEW Dynamite, 6/11/21 I gave the TNT championship match MOTYC because of the amazing storytelling from both guys. Uno knew he was outpowered, so he had to fight smart. And it worked, but Miro was just too strong. The final moments of Uno going for the Brodie tribute, then getting steamrolled and being forced to tap in front of the Dark Order did a TON to make Miro look like even more of a killer. I don't think anybody expected Uno to win this one, but there were 2 or 3 points where I thought we were going to see a huge upset. To me, that's when wrestling is at its best, when you get so invested in the story of the match that your emotions can override your common sense. Everything else was great, and I love Christian's role of having a good match with a random roster member. Kind of like Cody's run with the TNT championship.

Cerebral Bore posted:MOTYC: Young Bucks vs Eddie Kingston & Penta El Zero M Nth. The tag match was insanely good and a great example of how AEW can tie a bunch of story threads together to add extra spice to an already great match. Sammy vs MJF was the best match I've seen out of either of them, and that's really high praise.

MOTYC: The Young Bucks vs Eddie Kingston and Penta El 0 M for the AEW Tag Team Titles HM: Andrade vs Sydal HM: Orange Cassidy and Kris Statlander vs The Blade and The Bunny All from Dynamite 7/7 The mixed tag was incredibly fun and Statlander looked like a beast. They also had several clever ways around the normal failings of a mixed tag, including the awesome Area 451 that Kris hit on The Blade. Andrade already looks like a star, he's going to go far. Tag title was maybe not quite as good as last week's match, but still top tier stuff.

That opening match was probably the best multi-man tag AEW has done yet.

HM: Jon Moxley, Eddie Kingston & Darby Allin vs Daniel Garcia & 2.0 MOTYC : Miro vs Lee Johnson HM: Leyla Hirsh vs The Bunny MOTYC: Cody Rhodes vs Malakai Black All from AEW Dynamite 8/4 I went very high on the Miro/Lee match for one reason - I 100% thought Shotty Lee was going to beat Miro. Both guys looked amazing, this was one of the best underdog stories AEW's every told in the ring. Had me hooked from the beginning and this was a match I dismissed as a squash when I saw it first announced. Cody v Malakai was the 2nd best squash in AEW history and the post-match promo pushed it to another level.

Even if you can dismiss this as like "Oh Alexa rigged the doll to wink with a remote control", even if you're fine with "The doll is actually alive or possessed by a demon".... a doll winked at someone and they sold it and then lost the match.

MOTYC: FTR vs. Santana/Ortiz, AEW Dynamite, 01/09 HM: Tay Conti vs. Penelope Ford, AEW Dynamite, 01/09 MOTYC: Lucha Bros/Jurassic Express vs. The Elite, AEW Dynamite, 01/09 FTR vs Santana and Ortiz speaks for itself, a great match with a decisive winner after months of back and forth and escalating stakes. Tay vs Penelope was real good and I think Tay might be the best example of someone thriving in AEW's environment vs the WWE. Main event was amazing, even though I seem to be a bit higher on it than the consensus. Lots of cool spots, Jurassic Express and the Lucha Bros work really well as a super-team, and this was probably the best outing I've seen from the Good Brothers.

Cerebral Bore posted:MOTYC: Miro vs Eddie Kingston Agreed 100% here. I'm riding the high of it being so fresh in my mind, but I think this is the best PPV I've ever seen. Every match delivered (QT and Paul Wight was inoffensive and short) and the great matches were really amazing. That tag title match deserves to be on the short list of best wrestling matches ever, simple as that.

Cerebral Bore posted:MOTYC: Kenny Omega vs Bryan Danielson nth'ing these MJF vs Pillman was the weakest match, but was still really fun and the best Pillman has ever looked. Cody vs Malakai was probably my least favorite match, but Malakai still kicks rear end and now he's spraying mist. I'm pretty sick of Cody (and 20,000 other people seem to agree with me) but I was happy to see him lose this pretty decisively.

MOTYC: Adam Cole vs Jungle Boy HM: Dark Order & Orange Cassidy vs HFO MOTYC: Miro vs Sammy Guevara All from AEW Dynamite, 9/29/21 Adam Cole vs Jungle Boy was amazing stuff, maybe the best Jungle Boy match yet and that's a high standard. The 16 man tag was a bit of a mess early on, but 100% earns this based on the story it told and the final sequence. Miro vs Sammy was awesome, pretty much a perfect big guy vs little guy match. Miro looked like a monster, the turnbuckle spot coming back to haunt him was great, and Fuego helping his buddy without straight up interfering was a perfect extra bit of storytelling.

A great match that made Deeb look like a complete killer AND let her be a spoiler heel. And a ladder match where EVERYBODY looked great and Hangman did some of the most impressive stuff he's ever done (including getting Jon Moxley booed for trying to win the match).

He hung with Malakai better than Cody did AND earned that nod of respect at the end. Great storytelling on top of a super fun match. Dark Order rules so much and seeing them as a happy, functioning unit that can match up to the best of AEW was great.

He was just "the other Acclaimed guy" to me, but between this and his match with Bryan I'm really digging him. Lee Moriarty impressed me so much, too. The last time I remember one match causing this match of an impression on me was when I first saw Shida wrestle.
