Last time someone fell onto actual concrete in AEW, they got legit KOed.

And that’s perfectly fine. I’m not telling you how to feel or react or anything of the sort. For me, it was a bad ending to an otherwise great match. Why wouldn’t MJF throw Jericho off anyway? In the heat of the moment wouldn't you wanna save your friend if all it took was a surrender? They tried to appeal to any decency MJF had, only to find out there was none It's classic villain "I lied" shit.

I’m asking this not to be a smartass, maybe it was just me. Didn’t MJF look over the one side where Tony talked about the concrete stage. then took Jericho to the other side where the entrance stage was? I don’t think Tony was calling the entrance side concrete rather the side MJF looked over first

I agree that it didn’t look all that great, but it’s better than Matt Hardy cracking his skull so I’ll take it.

Wouldn't it be funny if MJF was actually like the nicest guy ever IRL? We’ll never know because of his commitment to kayfabe.

I uhh, well... it was great until they went up top and Jericho seem to forget there were cameras on them. Openly signaling fire the low blow, digging out the blade, digging it out too early and struggling to hold on to it, laughing, smiling and winking after being thrown 10ft or less through concrete.
Sorry, great match but that completely took me out of it.

Personally I can't wait for MJF and Jericho to settle this in a purgatory in a box match.

MJF's "Thank you!" was a chilling supervillain line. He's going to be a great top heel for years to come.

In the heat of the moment wouldn't you wanna save your friend if all it took was a surrender? They tried to appeal to any decency MJF had, only to find out there was none You’re gonna feel how you feel, and I’m going to feel how I feel. I think there can be differing opinions in this thread without a constant back and forth where we dig our heels in and defend our positions. I’m not asking Jericho to land on concrete and suffer a grade IV concussion so I can feel I got my money’s worth or what have you. He fell twenty feet and that’s still going to hurt, not to mention it’s commendable for Jericho to take that bump himself. But I didn’t like it, which is just one voice in a sea of millions who might disagree. It’s fine if people like me or others don’t like it.

Wait...
I was told the match would be surrounded by two cages but neither Brian nor Christian were at ringside.

Sorry, great match but that completely took me out of it. I took the wink as him telling fans he's gonna be ok, even though he took the fall. The other spots are whatever, I didn't even notice them when I was witnessing the match

I'll be perfectly honest... I thought that match was pretty lame.
I know there are users on here going "HOLY CRAP, WHAT AN AWESOME MATCH!", and I was looking at it, going... "That's it? This is the payoff to months of build?"
I mean, sure, there was a lot of violence, but it didn't gel with me. And Jericho landed so safely on the padding which the announcers sold like grim death. Better than actually smashing into concrete, of course, given Matt Hardy and every stupid thing Darby Allen wants to do, but it looked silly.

The Blood and Guts match was so bloody that even Tony Schiavone has somehow been busted open as he starts the post show.

It actually wasn't the payoff if Jericho is to be believed, which is hard to do admittedly.

Jungle Boy confirms that he plays games once or twice a year but is not a gamer. Scorpio Sky immediately attacked him for that and they started brawling.

Along with PNP beating FTR

Wouldn't it be funny if MJF was actually like the nicest guy ever IRL? He's an "I just need some time to focus on myself" guy
