Private Party/Best Friends - Felt kind of bleh for me personally. Best Friends won though. 1-0

Statlander/Ford - So Britt was off this match. No way Kris wasn't winning this against Ford who still wrestles like it's her first year. This match really didn't have any reason to exist without Britt tbh, but I love Kris so it was good to see her win again on a PPV. 1-0. 

Nyla/Shida - This was so much better than I expected it to be, and the way it played out I'm glad ot have been wrong. Shida really does deserve to be the champion, and Nyla will still be around to be the big bad of the division. Hikaru really put her heart and soul into this match, and when she was crying holding that belt at the end I really felt it. I'm glad I was wrong. 1-1.

MJF/Jungle Boy - Hardcore old school wrestling. This was a classic as HELL Face/Heel working the limbs doing the slaps grappley wrestling. It felt fresh considering everything else on the show. MJF actually won the match fair and square, which was honestly a surprise. I saw Jungle Boy in a new light tonight. I still think he needs to be 10x better on the mic, but watching him tonight I was like, you know what, this dude really is a good wrestler. I hope he and MJF feud for years and years to come. I mean it. 2-1. 

Ladder Match - I was kinda right about how Colt would either win it or not be a contender I guess, because he really wasn't in the match that much. Fenix was out, replaced by Janella because of the crazy brick move from Wednesday. Mystery guy turns out to be an IMPACT guy I don't know, but will now have to look up. He also handily won the match and will now be able to fight Mox at some point. I hope they do a better job building to that than with whats his face Inner Circle guy. That was easily the most forgettable title match on the show so far, even the Scorpio match was a bit better and that was basically nothing. Either way, IMPACT guy won and looked crazy strong doing it. He looks like he's roided to hell tho. We'll see about it. And I was right, Luchasaurus did NOT even once climb a ladder. 2-2. 

Stadium Stampede - HANGMAN DID RIDE IN ON A HORSE fuck me I'm a genius man from genius world. He did help them win, but it was Omega who finished it, once more killing the absolute shit out of Sammy. Honestly this was maybe my second favorite match ever. I was laughing so much. It's the best AEW has to offer. I loved loved loved loved it. 3-2.

TNT Championship - Excellent brawl. They nearly killed each other. Cody won, as I hoped, so now he can finally stop looking like he can't do anything. Wednesday there's a battle royale to challenge for it-- I'm wondering if the exalted one is gonna try and win that to get a shot at a different title, or if it'll be Ten or something. It'll be interesting to see who exactly is in it. It would be interesting to have women in the match too tbh. I liked this match, but I really really like Murderhawk. I wonder where he's going to go next and if Jake will still be with him. 4-2

Extra match - Dustin / The Chairman - This was added to the card late. I probably would have bet on Shawn Spears over Dustin only because Dustin was so fucked up by Murderhawk, but this was just a comedy match interlude. I thought it was funny as hell and a good new direction to take Shawn who has so far not really done a great job of coming across as a credible top card guy, and his Dark series of looking for a tag partner fizzled out with the pandemic. It would be cool if he teamed with MJF maybe. But I like what they're doing with him now. 

Mox/Lee Title Match - Very very satisfied with this match. Moxley at the end went apeshit on Lee and it was glorious. Lee died for the cause. I wonder what Dark Order will do now? I really want Evil Uno to come back. I wonder if this will be a signal to re-route Dark Order or just kill it. I don't think they'll kill it totally but I could see some re-tooling happening in the next few weeks if he DOESNT win the TNT title. Mox versus whats his face IMPACT guy is going to be an interesting match-- I wonder when they'll do it. I can't see Mox not fighting him until All Out. That seems silly. I suppose it'll be on Dynamite in a few weeks or something-- or maybe they'll make it make sense to wait till All Out. I don't think Mox loses that either right now, but we'll see what the story looks like when it comes. Moxley is a great champion. They've established that these title matches are big fucking deals, so I'm happy. 5-2. 

Overall... I think if there had been a crowd this would have been my favorite show. But I think Revolution still holds that for now, if not just for the Elite tag match. If there was a crowd, we probably wouldn't have gotten Stampede, and it was... chefs kiss. I love the wrestle.
