That was a masterpiece. Pure and simple.

Match of the Year? Probably. About as late as you can make a contender for one and they did it.
Two of the best matches of this year have had the result be a draw. That's awesome because it's not easy to pull off. But they did everything to make people want more while still putting on a classic, bravo to Hangman and Danielson and to AEW for it all.

I know some people didn’t like the draw finish. But really, as much as I would have loves Page winning outright, this REALLY makes me want to see them wrestle again.

I saw someone elsewhere throw out the idea of an I Quit match for the rematch and I now super want that.

And Flair said the 60 minute spectacle can't happen anymore

I wasn’t sure at the beginning, not because of the holds and such but because it had a lot to live up to considering but man….man…I was jumping out of my seat at 2am in the morning trying my best not to wake my flat mates but still somehow screaming and marking out.
If you don’t like the draw, honestly, I get it and I respect that. Me? It made me want to set my calendar for a rematch. Give me a date and time, TK!

I'm still coming down from this.
Even though in hindsight it would've been nuts to take the belt off of Hangman so early after all that build, these two are so good that once things really got heated I felt like "OH NO OH GOD HANGMAN CAN'T WIN THIS BRYAN'S GONNA WIN"

I'd say if the match does have a weak spot, it's Hangman being out of the ring for about a count of 137. And even then, whatever, I can overlook it, that ruled.

I see both sides of it and now I’m hoping we get it in Newark selfishly because I’ll be there.

That was art.
Even the moment of the draw elicited the ideal reaction before the boo’s.

Could be the match for Battle of the Belts.

Could be the match for Battle of the Belts. I'm guessing Hangman will divert to someone else for a bit for Battle of the Belts then they'll come back around to it for Revolution. Don't see them managing to fit a suitable rematch into a one hour show.

I don’t think you’ll ever get unanimous approval for a time limit draw, especially a 60 minute one. Best you can hope for is that most people are OK with it and feel like there is enough left in the bag for a rematch, and given who the two wrestlers involved are, I feel like that is beyond question.

Also while Bryan is going to get a heap of deserved praise, this showed alot about Adam Page. Hangman is now the Motherf***ing Ace of All Elite Wrestling. I know people want the Forbidden Door to Okada vs. Omega again or Punk or Bryan but me? I want Adam Page to lariat The Rainmaker's head off to be the new king of wrestling.

Seems universally loved here, I didn't see it, but on a fb group I'm in that's full of AEW die hards, there seems to be a consensus that Page showed he wasn't ready for a marathon just yet. Is that fair?

Is that fair? I don’t think that’s fair. Danielson has unreal cardio. I think most people would have been in Hangman’s spot at the end and honestly, there was really only one spot where Hangman seemed legit spent.

Oh yeah, like, Danielson can do 60 minutes and he’s done that countless times in his career but this was Page’s night to show what he can do in a setting like that and the fact both of them together a) had the match they did, b) kept the crowd invested for 60 minutes like they did and c) made me personally want to see them go at it again is a testament to both of their abilities.

Is that fair? No, I don’t think it is fair. Like what’s the issue, is it a moveset thing, is it a cardio thing… I didn’t notice either being a problem.
