You can tell how happy Jim is to review this
The moxley hang nail one before was a classic corny 🌽 burial
As he should be. The build-up sucked, but the match was perfect. Really good card overall too. I wish Dynamite was as consistent with its quality as the PPVs.
@@johns3491 fat ass facts!
I really hope MJF hears this review.
@@bileductable MJF definitely listens to the podcast
"It was like a wrestling match broke out on this program" - Jim Cornette
😂😂😂😂
Over played line
That's nice an all, but that trios championship match stole the night. I had no idea who was actually going to win that, and EVERY single second of that was awesome.
@@billywashere6965 that match was horrendous
@@steelvader1852 every match involving the elite is which is why I always record dynamite and rampage so I can fast 4ward thru their circle jerks.
MJF is the best student of Wrestling of this generation. He took advantage of TH-cam and the Internet and accelerated his progress.
Hell no!!! I cannot say that!! He's definitely one of the best and he proved a lot of his doubters wrong even me but with him he just does way way too much. He tries to do too much to be convincing and he doesn't have to do all that. The stuff with throwing the drink on the kid was too much for me. He didn't even have to do that and then the press conference was even more over the top.
@Yeltnerb 1 bs lol
@@ThatGuyOnTH-cam2 I mean the kid was probs 7 yrs old what you expect lmao
@@Queen01113 Heat - he expected heat. lol
That’s not heat good lmao. Thats “change the channel” heat. MJF is a cringe jackass. If Jim wants to act like that pouring water on a child is something a heel would do in the 80s, he’s being disingenuous.
6:12 Triple H first did the "give up a fall to gain a fall" spot during the Iron Man match with the Rock. Which makes it fitting that MJF did it since Triple H is one of his heroes.
Actually Rude did it during his match with Steamboat in the early nineties
@@michaelstefanichjr2181 the bash at the beach match?
@@chipbagchad1757 Beach Blast 92
@michaelstefanichjr2181 Yeah, I watch that match pretty recently. Pretty good iron man match imo
@@chipbagchad1757 that was definitely a good match. You also had the very physical match between the Steiner Brothers and Williams/ Gordy and Scotty Flamingo (Raven) upsetting Pillman
The fans chanted the highest honor ever given to a chant
*THIS IS WRESTLING!*
That's all you need to know.
AEW fans chant that every week. They also chant it when the Bucks are flip flopping around the ring
@@tbd3058No they don’t 😂. They do chant “This is awesome”, tho.
@@stevonwhite8933 he is just salty because wwe can’t pull something like this. Which in itself is also funny 😂
Favorite part was when Danielson did the "yes" chant, then hit the knee, and mjf kicked out. Jumped off my couch
I was watching the show in person, and everyone in the Chase Center thought that was it.
@@SnapIntoaSlimJim1 me?
lol! I did the exact same thing. They got us good with that one. Schiavone's call "the sucker kicked out!" was tremendous too.
one of the greatest kickouts ever yeah, brilliant place for it
Really? Anybody who hasn’t been hiding under a rock knew Danielson wasn’t going to win the match. The kickout was as predictable as it gets. Kicking out of finishers has gone to pathetic levels in the wrestling industry these days
Matches like this reminds me why i love wrestling. AEW may be rough at times, but when they deliver, they deliver it like nobody else in the modern industry
Was there live for the first time ever at the Chase Center, MJF vs Bryan was worth it. I didn't know MJF was so varied, he was doing it all.
Oh man wish I was there you could feel the energy all around what a FIRE 🔥 show
@@detmorales9151 it was pretty enjoyable, I had no clue what most of the storylines were though since I'm not really an AEW guy, but it was a big show coming to my area and the crowd really added to it. If guy's like MJF and a select others are consistently on the cards, I may actually go out of my way to see more shows of they come around again
So was I sat above where mox came out earlier. Brother and I had out of body experiences during this match lol Cant believe the show didn’t sell out though
@@ysp1784 man that's luckyyyy, me and my bud sat up high facing the ramp and the big multiscreen thing blocked the ramp. We couldn't see taz, tony, JR , or even Christian getting put into the casket, so pissed lol. Still worth it though
he's a genius, im glad you saw him live
The best Iron Man match i’ve ever seen, they hid the pacing as MJF just being a heel. And when in the ring it seemed to never slow down.
He's the only one that milks things in a way that doesn't feel unnatural and you just never get tired of watching him be a prick.
Kanyon vs John Cena for the TNA X-Division title was pretty good too but the main event with MJF and Danielson *Damnnnnn Danieeelllllll...) was amazing. Disco Inferno vs Isaac Yankem wasn't bad either.
This match is what aew has needed for quite some time. What a masterpiece
aew doesn't have a lack of good matches, they lack engaging stories
@@alanmacdonald1457 that's true. But this match played a good story out is what I'm Meaning. Yes the build up was lackluster but the match itself made up for it. I wasn't excited for this match at all and then I watched it.
@@bb-ballistics1706 fair enough! can't argue with that
@@alanmacdonald1457 When there is no stories it doesn't matter how good the match is because after it's over you don't remember it
@@haadtheevision i guess if you thyink all wrestling should be like WWE's cartoony shit...most other wrestling does not depend on cheesy stories to make it memorable, they have amazing matches instead lol. some of undertakers wrestlemania matches are considered the greatest of all time in WWE yet those matches didn't need any story
This is the fastest i have ever clicked a video.
😂😭
Same here!
Yep
Hell yeah!
Me too lmao
Jim was like a little kid at a candy store with this. Match of the year so far.
Easily. 💯
True, but that’s a really low bar.
Better than any match at mania or the Gunther sheamus chopfest from last year
@@blakemaxfield4267 I'm very shocked that the WON people didn't vote this or FTR vs BCG as MOTY, but Flair vs Ripley is hard to argue
Bryan Danielson vs MJF is masterpiece & instant classic match . Great that Jim Cornette even likes it
Guess ill have to pull up piratebay
I didn’t watch but MJF won which is unrealistic. Meaning he had to cheat to win or someone interfered. Which happens in every single wrestling match
@@xxshrimptacoxx5720 everything in this industry and ur calling MJFs stuff fake
He likes both guys, isn’t shocking to me he’d like the match
@@xxshrimptacoxx5720 did you expect otherwise?
Real wrestlers doing real wrestling resulted in a great match imagine that.
It's professional wrestlers doing professional wrestling..
Tell that to Tony Khan
There is nothing real here
real wrestling ? you mean the storyline in the match makes it great there is nothing real about it
@@ec5018 And you reply isn't real intelligent either.
This had the same vibe as Lesnar vs. Angle. A very well-done heel babyface iron man match.
Finally someone makes the comparison ,you sir know your wrestling ,these are my top two iron man matches ,they worked the crowd ,had excellent chemistry and the main main thing kept it within each man's strengths ,Brett and Shawn is overated the last ten mins where fire but the rest was a bit mehhhh
It had a chair shot DQ for Lesnar to buy a couple of cheap pins. So it has happened before.
@@sgt_chugganuggz cry
@@EliasRoy dude I'm crying cos your bible fucking parents called u elias
My favorite part was at the end of the media scrum, MJF said "thank you.....fuck you...bye!"
🆚🧑💼🐐🇺🇸🇺🇸🐐🐐🧑💼
It's rare to hear Jim enjoy reviewing a match this much, I love it
It is amazing how much this match screwed over the straight violence match of Page and Moxley, with just how crazy it got in the second half with the table spot and tombstone from the top rope. MJF and Danielson looked like they went through a war at the end
Less than 30 minutes, I figured this would be as long as the match itself.
I got here first now bitches, epstien didn't kill himself
Mjf is, and has been, the best in the biz for a while now. He is truly underappreciated.
We are graced with this guy bursting onto the scene man, a genius like this comes around once every 30 years, we gotta enjoy it
@@dan7291able reminds me of Conor when he bursted in the UFC scene, winning two belts and changing the game with his trash talk/promos. He revolutionized MMA. IMO MJF is similarly changing the game. He took the heel role to a whole new level. There’s never been a wrestler that the fans hated so much, and wanted to see him wrestle equally as such. He took kayfabe to the extreme. He’s a fucking STAR. AEW is so lucky to have him, but at the same time PG-Rated WWE wouldn’t allow him to be who he is. WWE should seriously re-think their PG style. AEW > current WWE
This was match of the year.
While Roman and Sami might have the best story, this by far was a spectacle of wrestling.
Way better than Rhodes vs Reigns
Watching this match again tonight, instead of smackdown and collision, but now we have ftr vs BCG in that conversation. Insane year
This match was an hour long but was the only match on the entire card that didn't feel like it dragged at all
@Yeltnerb 1 non it was just actually captivating and not just guys doing moves to get the crowd to pop
This match was stupendous I'm not usually somebody who has the attention span to watch an hour or longer of a match especially if I know is going to be that long on purpose but this match was amazing mjf is a pure genius those guys deserve raises I watched every minute of it and it was great
It went so quickly, which is wild to me.
omg the live crowd was so in to it. we were eating that shit up. I started the H2O chant and the whole crowd got behind me, man, what a time. MJF and Bryan, wow. Great show all around
That was you.? That was a badass chant, a chefs kiss monent for the match
@@richardcelaya7361 thank you haha it was one of my proudest moments as a heckler. Truly made my night and lost my voice over it. Still in cloud9 haha
Omg I was there and heard it start and I thought it was bloody brilliant! Had to join in!
@@wugenius HELL YEAH! we were definitely on the fun section. What a great time!
The two falls after the low blow was comparable to the AJ Styles vs Scott Steiner takedown match from TNA in Nov 2007. Watched it the other day and quite similar
MJF is the definition of a wrestling prodigy
Can’t wait for the Press Conference
God that’s gonna be comedy
More pockets on tonight's Dynamite Jim, you lucky sod 😂😂😂😒
I wanna slap Tony Khan badly.
Tony’s booking is a greatest hits of match finishes and stipulations since the mid 90’s. A rule of an iron man is the champions advantage. If it’s a draw, they still retain. But pretty much every iron man that’s ended in a draw has gone to sudden death since Bret vs Shawn.
Kurt vs brock and Bobby roode vs aj styles are a couple that didn't go overtime
Yeah and that in itself is ok but the phony, corny way they had TK talk to schiavone acting like this is being decided on the fly was dumb. Eye rolling kinda dumb
@@RATEDRRYAN1 fair enough. Just feels like it always happens.
@@MattKeller I was at the show and no one told us anything on the mic either, we couldn’t hear the broadcast on the screen so we didn’t know what was going on till it restarted
For me, this was the best match in AEW history
It was. Marks will say Omega vs Danielson
@@MrBaseballguy2010I think there’s an argument for Cody vs Dustin
@@MrBaseballguy2010 That Omega vs Danielson match has to be the most overrated match in recent memory, it was a great TV match but it wasn't a classic by any means. It gets hyped up because of the Omega stans.
@@DavidAGIII Oh that's not a bad shout
Bryan is in that Shawn Michaels/Bret Hart spot where if he’s in a match, you are pretty much guaranteed it’s going to be the match of the night, or close to it. He not only elevates whoever he wrestles, he elevates the rest of the card as well.
I loved everything about this match!
About the kid, the AEW Marks said that MJF traumatized this child and being a heel is not a excuse....Yeah,right?because it wasn't anything wrong after this boy saw Moxley and Adam Page trying to kill each other and bleeding everywhere.
that wwe fanboys that criticized everything.
I once went to the zoo and the elephant sneezed on me, wrecked my day, bet this kid was devastated
You can tell how dumb someone is by whether or not they think that was a shoot. It wasn’t.
@@lobillo012 lol 10 year old spotted
Those marks clearly don't understand the psychology of pro wrestling. That kid will hate mjf. Job well done
This match was one of the best matches I've ever seen in any promotion. The pacing was perfect. They went like 65 minutes and no dull moments. I didn't get bored at all. This match and the dog collar match between Punk and MJF are my 2 favorite AEW matches.
lol
The Brodie Lee versus Cody dog collar match is a better dog collar match than the punk MJF match
@Darth Raider , to each their own, I guess. I also enjoyed the Punk vs. MJF dog collar match more than Cody vs. Brody Lee.
May have been the build-up to it that made it feel bigger, but I felt it was so much more.
@@darthraider450 I never watched the Cody and Brodie match. I'm sure it was great.
@@darthraider450 No it's not
I thought MJF entrance was epic. Really felt like something big
Match of the Year and I highly doubt if the matches coming off the Bloodline storyline in WWE would match or surpass this at WrestleMania or Summerslam. Fantastic iron man match throughout, MJF and Dragon put on a masterclass.
We still have a ways to go before people can start having an unnecessary orgasm for match of the year, by December I’m sure there’s going to be plenty of matches to choose from
This is just ONE of plenty of match of the year finalists to come from all different promotions throughout the year
In a about a few weeks fans will forget and move on to something else trendy
Bloodline will have the benefit of the mania crowd
Both should be good, but neither will match this
Usos don't have that in ring psychology and roman is a cleverly disguised b level in ring guy
He definitely can't have a classic like this one
Cody's carry job will be epic but not that epic to match this
Who cares enjoy both and stop bitchin
@@tonyh1718 also I bet my left nut that Roman will use interference against Cody, it has almost become a gimmick of his to use the Bloodline to interfere in matches.
@@maxpayne7312 people still talk about Cody v Dustin, Dragon v Kenny, Pac v Kenny and the Bucks v Kenny and Hangnail, even the street fight between Best Friends and Santana Ortiz, Thunder Rosa vs Britt and MJF v Darby, and matches like Nick Gage v Jericho with the pizza cutter leading to the dominos advert. This match would still be remembered in a few years time like it should be and is the best match at least in AEW history.
This was the best match in AEW history. A classic sixty minute draw. The build was meh but that’s the status quo so can’t be helped. Danielson is truly the best technical wrestler as well as the best worker in the world. Where does MJF go from here? Hoping it’s a few ‘easy contenders’ to solidify the reign culminating in Punk this year or something. But anything with MJF should be great. Eager to see what Danielson does next. 👏 👍 🤌
Talking about sixty minute draws, Okada vs Tanahashi, Kobashi vs Kawada/Misawa, Punk vs Joe and so many more I’m definitely forgetting now are some of my favourite ones and this one is definitely up there.
Nah. Omega vs Danielson is still the best match in AEW history.
Maybe MJF can retire Punk when he’s really ready to call it quits for good.
Lesnar vs Angle on Smackdown two decades ago.
@@sigmablock That actually only went like 43 minutes cause it was a taped show but it was good.
@@billywashere6965 Billy's on meth apparently.
Loved this match. Best AEW match that I've seen in awhile. Loved the little HBK teases by MJF (which in hindsight gives away the end of normal time and that he's winning in sudden death) Always a big fan of the "get DQ'd on purpose to get two pinfalls" spot. First time I saw it was in the Iron Man match at Judgement Day 2000 when Triple H hit The Rock with a chair or sledgehammer, got DQ'd then got the pin back straight away. Not sure if he got two though. I don't think I've seen it since. Great job by both men.
Not sure who faces MJF next. It's probably going to be Hangman. The problem he's got is that AEW's main event level talent is pretty stale at this point. He's done Danielson and Moxley. MJF probably wouldn't want that Jericho stink on him again. It's either Hangman or Omega. Every other potential top star has been bungled by bad, inconsistent booking. Wardlow is a million miles from when he squashed MJF.
An Omega feud has got potential. If rumours of Omega's contract are true, I hope they go with a Loser Leaves Town match and Omega is gone. MJF would get nuclear heat with the AEW hardcore fan base, coming out every week bragging about it.
If Punk ever came back (which I doubt) MJF v Punk 3 sells itself.
Let's see who won at Revolution - Jungle Boy, Ricky Starks, Hangmaaaaam. Eddie is a left field option, and Hobbs is pursuing the TNT title. Not a lot of good options to carry through to Double or Nothing.
MJF vs Omega would be a good match do you remember the American dragon vs Omega it was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@darthraider450 I'd have no issue with Ricky Starks being the one to dethrone MJF but that shouldn't happen for awhile. Jungle Boy isn't ready for MJF. He'd get eaten alive. I think Eddie would be potentially amazing (the promos would be exceptionally good) but I think he's having a bit of a reboot in ROH. All his momentum was gone after the Jericho feud. Always liked Powerhouse Hobbs. He just needs the right tweak to his gimmick and he's there as a upper mid / main eventer. They could run with Darby again at some point. I wouldn't complain.
Hangman is likely going to be next.
What about Sting in a career Vs title match? Have MJF end the Icon's career
Bryan Danielson explained why he tapped on AEW Dynamite. He couldn't feel his arm and he feared being unable to pick up the kids that MJF referenced last week and tapped out, then basically "retired"
funny how everybody has their best match vs Danielson
Jim Cornette Silent Hill experience. Search it up. Not as strong as the Tekken 3 experience but still funny.
Nothing willever beat the tekken and cult of extra cheese
Best iron match since Steamboat vs Rick Rude in beach blast 92
I think it’s the best ever, it was that damn good
@Matthew L It was great the nostalgia is why I put Steamboat Rude ahead but the more I watch this I'm sure this will take the lead.
I love hearing about MJF. It makes me hopeful of a bright future in wrestling
Tazz claiming that athletes shouldn't drink water 50 times during the match confused me
"did i lose a star, Dave?"
Working with a top talent should only help to make MJF even better, assisting his growth. Good match, don't know if it needed to be an hour though. I don't think they'd built up enough to have that type of match.
Lmao
Imagine saying any part of this didn’t work. Better than anything on the Fed for the last 15 years
@@kylehogan7403 Nah the Shawn vs Taker matches were this side of 15 years ago
@@kylehogan7403 imagine being able to read. One day you might get it buddy.
Despite the bad build up to this match but it did deliver.
I'm a 90s baby. Meaning people like me seen ALOT of MAIN EVENTS. That was one of the greatest Ironman matches EVER 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Last time I saw a wrestler intentionally lose a fall to hurt his opponent was Rollins vs Ziggler iron man match, where McIntyre hit the claymore costing Ziggler a fall but then Ziggler got the cover
I haven't paid too much attention to AEW but will admit that MJF is solid. Not to draw comparisons or say he's as legendary as ric flair in the 80s but he grabs attention in that way for me. Not a single heel wrestler is on his level right now.
Am I shocked two god tier workers had an amazing match? Not in the least. But this match fucking ruled
Been waiting for this one
The lowblow two quick pin falls thing is something I wish you could do in the video games 😆
I used to do this on here comes the pain with a chair haha
AEW will now spend $650M to put it in their junky video game.
MJF going to restroom woulda been hilarious 😂
Amazing match. I will say, however, that the spot where MJF gets himself disqualified was done in that Brock v Angle Ironman match on TV back in '03. That is still, to this day, the best Ironman I've ever seen. This match was right up there though.
i only just realised, MJF constantly drinking throughout this match was because Ric Flair said in his final match he blew up cos he was dehydrated
I bet behind the scenes when MJF is just max these guys were proud as hell of each other. It was a great match
Even from a purely WWE perspective, Chris Benoit's ironman matches were better than Bret Hart-Shawn Michaels...but as you know nobody really brings up Benoit to talk about how good his wrestling matches were anymore.
My favorite thing about this match was the post match. Mjf sold the heck outta this match, that at the end he's in crutches looking like he just survived the craziest accident of his life. What happened to selling at the end of matches like this. It was so good to see.
I was 6 years old for Bret and Shawn and glued to the television. I even VHS recorded it.
I'm 32 now, and for Danielson v.s MJF, I found myself scrolling through social media during the middle of the match.
Just imagine what AEW could be like if matches were booked more like this
A match with two vanilla midgets with bad promos and poor build? All aew matches are already booked like this.
I’m guessing someone shadowed banned the other dude comment
or this match wouldn't stand out as much if that was the case. AEW tends to offer a large variety in terms of styles of matches.
@@ZeroShaneBob Aew offers a large variety of goofy indy spot matches with zero logic and flat finishes.
Another fantastic show from top to bottom by AEW
🤣
Ok ... whatever you're smoking or inhaling or shooting in your body .. STOP AND GET HELP ... now if you aren't doing any of that ... GIVE YOUR FUCKING HEAD A SHAKE
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Damn you WWE marks mad 💯 Aew did good stop it
When Jim said "I have not seen that in a previous Iron Man match" (6:11) -- I immediately thought of Kurt Angle & Brock Lesnar's Iron Man match on Smackdown for the World Title back near the end of the attitude era. Lesnar starts the match early by obliterating Kurt with a chair, immediately losing a point, and then he uses that time to take the lead while Kurt is selling the chair shot. The whole match was PPV-quality, yet it was just another Smackdown, and the World Title changed hands after that match.
Match was good - but we’re still talking bout Bret and Shawn all these years later …
Let’s wait and see how the match holds up over the years
I still think that Brock vs angle at smackdown in 2003 is my fav iron match of all time and is very underrated imo. This is a close 2nd though.
I watched bret vs shawn for the first time last year. I thought it was very beautiful. The athletic display and stamina shown by both men was great. It was the type of match that needed to happen to serve as a bridge between the old guard and the modern style of wrestling.
Bryan is the 🐐
I’m still not paying 50$ for AEW PPV ever again
It's because your a WWE mark that's all but it's ok man
@Det Morales bold of you to assume that
The first 2 years of aew was complete aids
I don't blame him for sticking to his wallet
Aren't you supposed to be in school, kid?
No PPV is worth $50
@@detmorales9151 😎
@@detmorales9151 No its just because AEW sucks
I honestly thought MJF was going to beat Danielson with a chair & go down 3 pinfalls & then pin for 5 then the rest of the match Danielson was going to catch up, tie, then they would go over & MJF would win 6-5.
I was close with the nut shot.
I think they did the DQ to get an advantage/fall back, in the Angle/Lesnar iron man match, Lesnar got dq'd for chair shots, then took 3 falls in a row
I think they do that spot in Rock-HHH too.
There was a reason for the Ironman match, it wasn’t “just because”…
It was an Ironman match because that was the challenge from Danielson when this whole feud started, with the implication being that MJF can't hang with AmDrag under that stipulation. You guys ask why this and why that all the time and 99% of it you would already know if you watched the show or shit even just YT clips.
I have been a wrestling fan since the early 80's and I am 45 now. I was excited when AEW started up it took me a week to realize I could watch this show on TH-cam in about 13min and be fine with it!. I like old school wrestling and MJF is where it's at and you can hear it in cornett's voice I haven't heard him this excited since Slow Devin didn't wear his prescription based helmet (he should wear at all times) ..Cornette is the only reason I kept up to date over the past few years. Thank you Jim Cornette for keeping fans involved even when they try to check out. Btw AEW dark evolution is a much better show every week then anything televised.. idiots for life. MJF 4LIFE :)
Why is dark better? (Genuinely curious.)
Have fun with that 🤣. I'm 40 and been a fan since the 80s and as good as this match was. AEW anit it
MJF's promos reminds me of Larry Zbyszko!
The pacing of this match was phenomenal. It was WWE style and staggered with out being boring. It has to be one of the best “wrestling” matches I’ve ever seen.
I enjoyed the whole ppv to be honest!
The entire event was easily the best wrestling PPV that I've seen in ages. Jimbo just can't but help getting his stupid licks in while that braying donkey of a sidekick nods his head in agreement.
Way better than I expected. The deathmatch was pure mudshow garbage but to be expected. I’m not big on the Elite but their match with HoB was very good.
Aew always brings it in the PPV's I tell you that
I'm glad they didn't shit on this match...cuz this match was really good. Put it in a vacuum and for what it was "as a match"...holy shit it was GOOD!
A great three man match. DB, MJF, and ref Bryce Remsburg. Remsburg doesn't get enough credit for the one hour job he did.
This is one of my all time favorite matches in 25 years of watching. Maybe it's recency bias, but Danielson's been my GOAT for a LONG time and he keeps cementing that legacy, meanwhile I didn't even know who MJF was a couple years ago [I was in a lapsed state as I'm sure many can relate] and this kid is on his way to be an time great already, and he's not even 30 y/o yet! MJF really is everything he says he is, we're witnessing something special with this guy.
And ofc Danielson delivered yet another classic in a career chock-full of em.
I wonder what Jim thought about MJF mocking CM Punk at the scrum
He prob will suck MJF 🐓. Corny just sucks now man
By far the best match in AEW history.
Danielson is the best wrestler of his generation by a long shot, but MJF... holy s**t, he's just 26 and look at the level he's already reached. If I were Tony Khan I'd pay him all the money in the world and offer him a lifetime contract.
A classic for the ages.
MJF had this great match but he's not a great wrestler like you claim him to be. He is not even the best on promo skills which he's good at. Ten years from now anyone will remember the Cody Roman promo whereas have you ever thought of MJF promo other than the mark and CM punk villain promo in these 4 years. He's so cliched and he truly is a less famous Miz.
This was by far the best thing on the whole show and that's not to say that the other matches were bad because they were all at least solid, but this match was what everyone came and paid to see and they delivered in spades. It admittedly didn't need to be an Iron Man match in the first place, but I'm definitely glad it was one because MJF once again proved that he can more than hold his own against some of the best wrestlers in the world and it really showed the amount of endurance he has. The build to the match was questionable in parts, but this whole thing more than made up for it and it's already one of the best matches in company history along with Danielson's match with Kenny Omega, the Page/Omega vs Young Bucks match, MJF's match with Darby Allin and Cody vs Dustin Rhodes
I still like Bret vs Shawn but this was also good.
I was there best match I've ever seen live the crowd was electric!
"...maybe MJF would f*** Danielson in a one fall match..." That doesn't sound like wrestling Jim
yep. I bought the PPV just to watch this match and loved it
Very strong ppv with lots of good matches, but this was the best match
This review is going to be good. Let get get a bottle of water to get ready.
Honestly I am shocked that some people still think MJF is anything other than great. The man is an absolute star in every way. I'm not saying he is the best wrestler ever but his overall character is brilliant and his wrestling is solid.
Amazing match and pretty good show overall
This was a great match. Danielson had a tough time with the promos leading up to match but but it all made sense at the end. A damn good match and an instant classic.
Nah no way. Throwing tequila in some kids face is unacceptable. No defending this child abuse.
WM12 was boring? In what world was that a boring match?!!!
Tony Khan tells everyone the kid that got the drink tossed in his face works for them during the media scrum 🤦
When will the whole drive thru be uploaded on podcast? I can't wait.
It's out when it's out - Jim Cornette
Friday
Thursday/Friday but maybe sooner due to high demand this is the only reason I have Spotify is to listen to Jim reactions asap
They did something similar in Brock and Kurt's iron man match where Brock sacrificed a fall by beating Kurt with a chair and taking advantage. Simple but effective. Lose the battle, win the war
There’s definitely room for more Punk vs MJF if somehow Punk does come back. They’re tied when it comes to matches, so there can still be a rubber match (although as a heel MJF can claim he’s ahead thanks to the reversed initial finish in their first match).
Hell, it’s almost like MJF is keeping the feud alive with the “best in the world” claims and especially his antics in the scrum. Really hoping this comes to pass but realistically, a lot would need to happen for that to be possible, so we’ll see…
Easily the best thing AEW has done
The oxygen tank would have been perfect for Luther 30 seconds into his first AEW bout!
Agree w/Brian about how they should using tony schiavone as the official for AEW.
Hey Bucks and Omega. Watch this over and over. This is called a professional wrestling match. Oh u don’t understand? Watch it again.
