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.

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.

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.

Late on posting this, but what the gently caress ever:

WMOTYC: Rhea Ripley vs Nikki Cross, WWE RAW 5/24/21

This entire match was a (hilarious) disaster. You had Rhea claim she could beat Nikki Cross in two minutes after Charlotte said she could. So basically Rhea has two minutes to beat Nikki.

Now this is where it gets falls off the rails: Rhea spends all of the first minute taunting Nikki Cross with lovely childish taunts. And then spends the next minute kicking Nikki's rear end nonstop until time expires. Then she is SHOCKED she lost. Commentary was shocked as well.

Nth'ing this as I just watched the entire match. The champion looks like an idiot, nothing will come of this anyway since they'll never have Nikki Cross win a big match in her life, and I still don't understand why commentary acted surprised.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
