Honestly for me in the stadium this was march of the night for me. Sting and Allin are such stars, a great atmosphere, loads of nonsense, but really fun nonsense. Seek and Destroy. Sting stopping the coffin from closing with the bat was incredible. Loved it and so happy to see Sting live.

That match ruled
Loved the finish too, those guys really went out there and killed it
But SEEK AND DESTROY made me mark out hard

Some of the bumps in that match were brutal. It was a fun match though and I don't think Swerve suffers from losing it either, it wasn't a pin, it was just getting shut in a coffin.

Made me realize Sweve vs Darby has to be a headliner feud for AEW at some point. Swerve is so complete and so believable as a menacing villain and Darby works from underneath so well they'll absolutely break scales with what they can put out.

The entrance was maybe my moment of the night. Getting to see a lights out entrance live similar to Taker & Bray is something I’m not sure I’d ever get to see. Pair that with Metallica and I was in heaven.

I’ve been on a monster Metallica kick the last couple weeks (I was turned onto an awesome podcast about the band recently that Ryan Downey hosts and I’ve been going down rabbit holes)…so I’m not exaggerating when I tell you I literally dropped my phone when that riff hit. Metallica being the first band I well and truly loved and have been a fan of for 35 or so years was also factor in that reaction lol
Marked so hard.

I'm so glad I finally got Swerve and Christian teaming together AND that it was a banger super fun match too.

Maybe my favorite match outside the main event.
Sting is so class. However old he is and still scorpion deathdropping people on top of coffins.
Real fun match.

I like that Darby actually wins his signature match, He's beaten these two, Andrade, and Ethan Page in it, I forget if I am missing any.
I am kind of hoping Darby gets the TNT title back, but that Swerve wins it off of him.

I'm going to be sad when Sting officially retires, but I'm so glad he's been able to have this run.

I wasn't massively invested in this because my section was annoyed about Saraya winning and about no surprise Jamie Hayter, so I'm looking forward to rewatching this and seeing what I missed

Agreed with what was said above: all the wrestlers in this match are just so well defined and realized as characters that it gave everything extra oomph…plus, yeah, Swerve and Darby go together like peanut butter and jelly in the ring.
Also, I couldn’t believe I marked for Seek and Destroy, given that wrestling-wise I associate it when when WCW was falling apart, but damned if I didn’t get all excited.

Just remembered how Christian went out of his way to get all the thumbtacks out of the ring. Like dammed if I’m gonna fall on these mf’ers later on lol.

Can't tell you how many times I've wondered why the heels aren't just shoo-ing that shit out of the ring the second they're back on top.

I enjoyed the sign telling me how many days it's been since Sting put anyone over Also I'm convinced Darby Allin is made of putty.

I think after this match, even though he lost, it’s time to get Swerve in the title picture. You could frame it as MJF losing his mean streak due to his friendship with Cole and Swerve’s done enough evil shit in this run to be the new “devil” in AEW.
