I just thought it told a really clever story.

The BCC chose mercenaries to fill out their ranks but the Elite chose friends. The friends stuck together but the mercenaries bailed.

Mox bought in most of the weapons and intense violence and was happy to dish it out to the Elite. But when the Elite dished it out to Yuta, Mox stopped it. He'll wreck his opponents and himself, but not his young boy.

Plus, this may be one of the few times that a bump from the top of the cell was teased and wasn't delivered but nobody seems pissed about it. Matt Jackson making it rain thumbtacks was inventive enough that the lack of a cell bump didn't matter and Yuta still died anyway.

Agreed all round. Mentioned it in another thread, my only issue was Kota taking his sweet time getting to the ring while Moxley maimed Kenny. Maybe the commentary could've done a bit more to sell the sheer mayhem and carnage in my opinion. JR gets ragged on but he can sure emote when someone's being a psychopath, everyone felt a bit muted.

But fantastic match, everyone involve looked good, I tend to think Yuta and Takeshita are a little overrated online but I liked their involvement, just a really good bloodbath.

Do they use sugar glass?? Cuz the prospect of real glass would scare the ever loving shit out of me lol. I dunno what’s worse: those or thumbtacks lol

I believe it's been confirmed to be sugar glass, the only real glass I think that's been used in AEW was the light tubes in the Gage match, and even then those were cleaned of that "powder" that you really don't want to be exposed to

And I love that Matt Jackson just casually took one shoe from a $1000 pair of shoes and put thumbtacks on the sole for a spot 😂

Reminds me of an anime battle cry.

Trent was right all along.

It was a good match. Bit of an aimless sag in the middle of it, and I think they went too big with some of the previous ones so they end up with a bit of diminishing returns.

Like, don't tease throwing someone off the top if nobody's getting thrown off the top.

Yuta's a goofball. MJF tweeted once that Yuta had years ago entered the room MJF was in while drunk and made him watch a Vader match with him in just his underwear.
