TIME LIMIT DRAW!!!

Winner: Draw
Son of a fucking bitch! I want so desparately to give it five stars because the only downfall of this match was out of their control – the commercial. I also have to sit with the decision to give it a time limit draw for a little longer before I accept that to be the best decision. I’m sure it is, because I trust AEW, but I would have loved Page takin it. This is personal bias, though, and as a match, this shit was BEAUTIFUL. There wasn’t one second where I felt it could have ended already, and I would have gladly went another 5-10 if they gave it to me.

Winner: Wardlow
I could do without Spear trying to goad the crowd into what they were most certainly going to do on their own, but I suppose that’s also he point. Just seems like a little manipulation towards something that has started organically.
Total Rating: NR
Match Time: 1:26

Spears enters the ring, says one and done, we don’t get paid by the hour, baby. It was a little excessive. THEN he smacks Matt with a chair. Spears gets a phone call, its MJF. He tells Wardlow that Max is going to need Wardlow to go pick up some champagne. Spears says he’ll drive, and he can just wear what Wardlow is wearing.

Malakai talks about makin a house strong in a video promo for us. Nice house, bruh. Apparently THE HOUSE is a religion of sorts that he has learned from, teaching him that through agony, The House will make them strong. He is christenin someone on their knees, drops a necklace on this person after putting whispering into the persons’ ear: “Now you’re so much more than a king.”

Ooooo, is it Brody?

Deeb and Shida is next. Deeb is out first. She tries to kick Shida as she enters the ring, so Shida shoots the kendo stick at her. Lol.

Winner: Hikaru Shida
I feel like, even though it wasn’t an immediate follow, this was overshadowed by the opener heavily. Deeb and Shida can go, and they certainly put it out there today, with some vicious hits and energy, but I’m still trying to come down from the high, and this suffered just a bit because of it.

Backstage, Tony is talking with Varsity Blondes about Black. How is Hart? Griff says she aint here besides them. Last week, Black interfered and attacked Julia. Lights go out, and he’s gone. Like a “real man” right? Griff calls him a coward, and he promises that he will bring the fight to Black.

Pillman tells Griff not to let Black in his head. Griff is pissed .He shoves Pillman, says if he wont fight this battle, he will. He tells Black he’ll break his jaw.

Not bad, Griffy.

Kingston is pissed off backstage, talking about 2.0, and says it’ll be him, PnP, Penta, and Fenix against 2.0 and whoever they pick. He calls Garcia an ugly man, says he’ll see them at Rampage. Don’t be scared.

MJF is here with his tag team partner the microphone.

He tells Texas that their daughter swallows. Maybe they’d like him if he was more like them: Anti-education, and pro-incest.

He addresses Punk. He only goes for low-hanging fruit? Well the second Punk got nervous last week, he just dissed the local sports team for ten straight minutes. So high-brow. He especially loved the part when he claimed MJF needed to stop running and face him like a man so he can get a title shot. MJF says he didn’t realize that an undefeated streak and underwhelming matches made you championship material, he thought that just made you the new Ryback.

MJF beat Hangman just like he’s going to beat Dante. He’s talented but in a lot of trouble. He’s not Punk, he doesn’t care about the younger talent. He is the only top talent that’s young that matters. He is about to be a three time Dynamite Diamond ring champion. He says Dante has the verbal ability of Helen Keller on Quaaludes. He says he can beat Dante with a headlock takeover. He doesn’t claim to be the best in the world, he just is.

We are BACK and Dante is seated on the shoulders of MJF. Powerbomb to Dante! Cover and MJF uses the ropes for 1..2..NO!!! Ref sees the legs and kicks them off the ropes. MJF sends Dante to the corner. Sits him on the top rope. Dante from the outside, flips over the top rope, then freakin hops over MJF, causing him to roll outside. Dante hits the ropes. FLIES TO THE OUTSIDE!!! MJF rolls back out, Dante with a freakin tope over the corner post!!!

RICKY STARKS IS THERE TO PUT MJF’S FOOT ON THE ROPES!!!!

Dante stares Ricky down as he leaves. MJF with SALT OF THE EARTH!!! Dante taps!

Winner: MJF
They really gave Dante a chance to shine, but there was a good two minutes near the end there where a) the choreography was a bit too obvious and b) Dante’s stamina was waning, causing the necessity to slow down, but not the yearning to, and the struggle was real. I definitely don’t want to take away from the fact that the dude is a freak of nature, and he’s also super young, so this shit can be worked out.
