I usually agree with Larson but his take on too little story for this match is a little dumb. These two guys not only work for two different companies they live in two different countries. I’m just happy I got to see the match I’ve been wishing to see.
That main event had absolutely everything! The history behind it between Christian Cage and Darby Allin, Luchasaurus and Nick Wayne having decisions to make, pure wrestling to start the bout, pure violence, entertainment, unpredictability and the crowd went crazy for everything these two did! Christian Cage is on a phenomenal run! Hope he gets an even bigger push and win the AEW Championship after this title run. Darby is growing into one of the best as well.
What’s great after a wrestling company has a PPV event? The next day THE NEXT DAY, the friendo’s Steve & Larson are ready to give fresh star ratings! Don’t gotta wait days or weeks like others do with star ratings
as someone who did watch the Zero Hour, the highlights were mostly that Seattle all wanted to be Bread Club with Kojima, and Moxley on commentary plugged that he trains with Josh Barnett and has an open offer to him to be BCC.
I would take a submission match or even a 30 min or hour Ironman match between ZSJ vs Danielson ! A 2 of 3 falls match even . Hell , do them all ! A PURE rules match . I could watch these guys wrestle forever ! Throw Dean Malenko in as a ref for one of those matches .
MJF vs. The Righteous: 2.5 Stars Eddie Kingston vs. Katsuyori Shibata: 3.75 Stars Kris Statlander vs. Julia Hart: 3.75 Stars Young Bucks vs. Lucha Bros vs. OC and Hook vs. The Gunns: 3.5 Stars Swerve Strickland vs. Hangman Page: 4.75 Stars Ricky Starks vs. Wheeler Yuta: 3.5 Stars Bryan Danielson vs. Zach Sabre Jr: 5.25 Stars Don Callis Family vs. The Golden Jets: 4 Stars FTR vs. Aussie Open: 3.75 Stars Christian Cage vs. Darby Allin: 4.75 Stars Tremendous show all around, AEW is delivering BIGTIME right now. Can't wait to see what the Rated R era is gonna bring.
WOW ! I was really close with my opinions and star ratings as you guys , give or take a QTR . I especially agree with your comments on AO vs FTR . Because I watched their Royal Conquest match and it was killer . But this one didnt have the feel that AO was gonna win . Unlike FTR vs Briscoe Bros wars which had me on the edge of my seat if not standing the whole time !! But I enjoyed the whole show a lot .
You could see that Kenny was annoyed about the match yesterday in the media scrum. I don’t think he wants to work with Chris. They didn’t even look at each other during the scrum.
I hate that Jericho has inserted himself into this feud. It was going so well without him. This is the kind of shit Cena would do in the 2010's, attach himself to a hot feud and/or heel.
@@JackLawrence-dn2jb You're blaming the wrong person. He's not the booker, and the other people involved must have agreed to work with him. It makes sense to have Jericho in the story when Sammy was planning on joining. AEW is pretty good at having intermingling storylines.
@@user-fe8gx3ie5v I don't have a problem with intermingling storylines. I just have an issue with Jericho constantly trying to worm his way into programs with hot talents and then he inevitably cools them down. If Kenny and co are ok with Jericho working the program and Tony still sees Jericho as a top star then in terms of booking it makes sense. I'm just annoyed by Jericho.
MJF vs. The Righteous: 2.75 Stars Eddie Kingston vs. Katsuyori Shibata: 3.00 Stars Kris Statlander vs. Julia Hart: 3.75 Stars Young Bucks vs. Lucha Bros vs. OC and Hook vs. The Gunns: 3 Stars Swerve Strickland vs. Hangman Page: 4.75 Stars Ricky Starks vs. Wheeler Yuta: 3.75 Stars Bryan Danielson vs. Zach Sabre Jr: 4.75 Stars Don Callis Family vs. The Golden Jets: 4.25 Stars FTR vs. Aussie Open: 4 Stars Christian Cage vs. Darby Allin: 4.25 Stars
It's good to hear honestly than feelings ... most ppl would be like every match is 5 or 4 stars... it'll give ppl to go back and watch a great match instead of watching a stinker
I may not be there yet, but I hope to get the DiabeticMan star ratings up to the same level as the -Meltzer- Friendo Club star ratings!

Mark Davis' chops are fantastic tho) Cage/Darby: 4.5 BRUCIE BONUS: NXT No Mercy: Breakker/Corbin: 3 Dom Dom/Williams: 3.5 Fatal 4 way tag match: 3.75 Darr/Butch: 3.75 Dragunov/Hayes: 4.75 (not sure if this was better than their Bash match, but it was pretty close) Lynch/Stratton: 4 (a lot of fun, final stretch was awesome)
its been bothering me for weeks, so i have to point it out, Joe's got the wrong belt on the graphic, thats the world title, he currently has the tv. - 🤓
As always, the DEFINITIVE star ratings in pro wrestling journalism. Top notch.
The 100% peak of wrestling observation & assessment ✊
Dave knows we are in the new era
Man I really enjoyed the ladies match, it coulda been longer, but I don't think it needed much more they really went after it.
Mjf had his feet on the ropes
Bryan vs. ZSJ is probably my favorite match since Walter vs. Ilja 2 (my all-time favorite match)
I usually agree with Larson but his take on too little story for this match is a little dumb. These two guys not only work for two different companies they live in two different countries. I’m just happy I got to see the match I’ve been wishing to see.

Christian Cage is doing some of the best heel work ever! He deserves a run as the AEW Champion after his TNT title run. He's pure GOLD!
If I wanted star ratings from “those other guys” I would’ve waited like 3 weeks! Friendo Club doesn’t even need 24 hours!

Tremendous show all around, AEW is delivering BIGTIME right now. Can't wait to see what the Rated R era is gonna bring.
Agreed about the lack of tension in the MJF handicap match but he did cheat to win
Think more important the each match having X amount of stars, is there were no bad matches, and no meh match either
MJF did cheat in his match with The Righteous. That's how he won, LOL. Pay attention to the shows.
the meltzer waits a week joke will never get old. golden bit
The Don Callis Family v. The Golden Jets was pretty much a DDT house show main event.
The way Christian schooled Alvarez in scrum.... he'll ask you guys too did you wrestle😝
-* for each match

He seemed happy to me. He's friends with Jericho.

@@JackLawrence-dn2jb He's the GOAT, and he already had history with most of those people. He's not worming his way into anything, LOL.
Christian and co. pausing for 2-3mins to watch a video instead of bashing Sting's head in was dumb.

I never really agree with your star ratings but I do appreciate the shade.
Us Yuta heads eating good. LoL
Not of consequence really but ZSJ is only 6 years younger than Bryan Danielson.
Nah that six mean was a great match. I can't... trash, garbage? nah i cant im done
The only people softer than you are your favorite trash wrestlers
Jericho and sammy felt so out of place in the 6 man
STORY
GIR stars are the only ones worth caring about
MJF is the WORLD champion and he's literally in a job match to START the show...
I may not be there yet, but I hope to get the DiabeticMan star ratings up to the same level as the -Meltzer- Friendo Club star ratings!
MJF/The Righteous: 3 (comedy is fantastic for, up the Vincent get shoved up Dutch's bum)
Kingston/Shibata: 4
Statlander/Hart: 3.25
Fatal 4 way tag: 4
Swerve/Hangman: 4.5
Starks/Yuta: 3.5
Danielson/ZSJ: 5 (lovely stuff)
Jericho, Ibushi and Omega/Don Callis fam: 3.5
FTR/Aussie Open: 3.75 (something was off about this match towards the end for me, no idea what it is tho. Mark Davis' chops are fantastic tho)
Cage/Darby: 4.5
BRUCIE BONUS: NXT No Mercy:
Breakker/Corbin: 3
Dom Dom/Williams: 3.5

Only difference for me is Hangman V Swerve. That was motn for me
So glad I get these star ratings right after UNLIKE THOSE OOOOTHER GUYS
No a fan of your ratings sorry fam
LA Knight is all the stars YEAH
Don’t need no other jobbers in aew
not every match needs a story. The story is who is the best for zsj and bryan, that all need
Spot monkey garbage
Brainworms
its been bothering me for weeks, so i have to point it out, Joe's got the wrong belt on the graphic, thats the world title, he currently has the tv. - 🤓
So...
I disagree with a lot of shit you guys say but you're non toxic and fun to listen to so who gives a fuck?
Way to be the only mentally stable aew neckbeard
@@Julian-xj6mh I watch WWE more than anything else but whatever.
I'm guessing Dave will give Dragon v Sabre 5 3/4 stars... there's no way a match without Omega/Bucks is getting 6.
I really enjoyed the Don Callis Family match but it was maybe 3.5 stars imo. Jericho didn’t need to be the valiant hero in this story
Your mental illness flag is cr*nge. Seek help.
Damn so much negativity in this video, this show was fantastic, a top 4 AEW show
Barf
@@Julian-xj6mh it was, there wasn’t a single bad match
NXT is really doing some good things. The last PPV was off the hook. You guys need to start watching.
