Realizing that there were so many good matches on this show that I'm like legit forgetting some and then remembering like "oh f*** yeah" That show tho Someone really needs to make a thread to rate the show so I can reply with a GIF about how good it was. I can make it but you will need to pay me extra.

I think like Double or Nothing, each match was good at doing its own thing and showcasing a different aspect of what AEW TV was going to be like so from that sense it’s hard to pick a true favorite.
I will give some love to Riho/Shida for being a build of sorts to Riho/Rose and showcasing on a smaller scale Riho’s weakness but her underdog status.
For match of the night? PAC/Omega. I want these two to have another match as soon as and the ending was genuinely shocking so props.

Cody/Spears, but there’s several matches right on the heels.
Dat Orange Cassidy pop was god damn amazing, though.

Going with Kenny vs PAC, but damn if the Cracker Barrel match, Cody vs Spears, and Bucks vs. Lucha Bros. weren't great either. Main event was solid as well.
Only match that didn't really wow me on the main card was Dark Order vs. Best Friends and it was still a solid match.

Also, for all the talk from people where I was about Private Party being Street Profits (which by the way, is gross in so many ways), they’re undeniably stars and putting them with Angelico and Evans was a stroke of genius.

It's like the Cryme Tyme/Street Profits comparisons. Only real thing the three teams have in common is being black. Private Party is also way better as a tag-team than the other two, though Montez Ford looks like a star in the making.

While there is the obvious more shallow comparison, both team have similar attitudes towards livinf a fancy show off life. Besides thay I dont know enough about then to compare

From being there live - the ladder match. I still can't believe some of the things they did out there.

My head says Kenny/Pac, my heart says I watched a Chuck Taylor match on PPV. Chuck was on several ROH ppvs the last 2-3 years.

Though I do acknowledge his New Japan tours as being equivalent. But still, the novelty of Chuck Taylor being in a featured position on a national scale hasn't worn off yet. like, I get that the Dark Order/Best Friends match wasn't super good, but I just love seeing Chuck Taylor and also Trent Beretta and I am grading on a massive curve.

Lucha Bros/Bucks for me, followed by the Cracker Barrel match, followed by PAC/Omega. Solid matches throughout the night, though. Yeah, this is mine as well. I think I gasped more during the Ladder Match than I have all of wrestling in the last year. What took points off for me in the Cracker Barrel match was the commentary. We get it. You like chicken. I get they had to shill it, but man it was annoying. In close 4th was Cody/Spears.

Omega/Pac for me. I need a round 2 already.

I actually changed my mind after sleeping on it.
I don't care how stupid it was, the Cracker Barrel match was my favourite thing in the match.
And Janela being monkey flipped in the chair is one of my favourite spots of all time immediately.

"So at one point, one of our guys is going to jump from the top rope back first on top of one of your barrels crashing through it and onto some steel steps below, failing to squash another dude. You ok with this?" "Sure!"

I'll go with Omega/PAC, just shading the ladder match. Would rate both matches at 4.25 stars.
I have the triple threat at 4 stars even, and Cody/Spears at 3.75.
Would also put the 6 man tag and main event at 3.75. Main event needed to shave about 5 to 10 minutes off it and stops it from a higher rating. I still really liked it though.
Womens singles match and Private Party match at 3.5
Casino Battle Royal 3.25 Best Friends/Dark Order 3 stars even

Some really great matches, but Bucks/Bros ladder match gets my vote. Thought it was outstanding.

Really excited to see the former CZW guys shine

I need to re-watch the show, but right now it's a toss up between Cody and Spears, and Omega and Pac.
