Recommend AEW matches / segments since September.

[Lizuka #BLM]

I have a bunch of stuff backed up on the Youtube TV DVR thing, everything of Dynamite and Rampage since late August (though it is periodically removing them, thus why I moved it up to September) and it occurred to me at a point that I don't think there's a single AEW match that I've seen twice. So I figured f*** it, might as well try going hard on some of those for a bit, see if maybe it can reinvigorate my interest in the product a bit if I get some recommendations on stuff to either rewatch or watch for the first time if I skipped that week, maybe pick up some appreciation for the huge chunk of the roster I can't really claim to care about. Dates would help a lot in finding stuff.

And don't hesitate to name more recent stuff either, I've probably skipped more Dynamites since the start of the year than I've watched and I've seen like two episodes of Rampage ever. Though I'm not promising to watch everything, are certainly particular people I'm not interested in going out my way to see and certain matches /segments I could live with never seeing again.

Matches are hard, I always have trouble remembering matches (assuming we are not counting PPVs)


Wheeler Yuta vs Moxley from Rampage 4/8/22 is amazing

April 6th 2022 FTR vs Young Bucks II is pretty amazing too

Probably would help if ytou shared what kind of stuff interested you overall.

[Mid-Carder]

Both Danielson/Hangman matches

[Abdullah]

[Bo Rida]

Any Punk vs Kingston or Punk vs MJF segments.
Danielson vs well everybody really, Suzuki, Dustin.
Oh that reminds me, Dustin vs Punk.
Pac vs Andrade match(es?)
Pac vs Dax
Ford and Bunny vs Tay and Jay - (damn they've all fallen since then huh)

Lemme think of a few things I guess lol, I'll do Dynamite and Rampage cause idk if you've seen PPV matches.

I know you don't seem sold on them I guess in concept if you've never seen their segments, but the JAS and Kingston segments have been absolute gold and are well worth watching

Of this ilk, Kingston/PNP vs Jericho/Garcia/Hager and Jericho vs Santana are both really good matches, as is the followup "Victory Speech" event

Moxley vs Yuta from Rampage is a must see match, Yuta vs Danielson which was like a week before that is also well worth seeing

Every HOOKhausen interaction stemming back to a few weeks ago has been excellent

Baker/Hayter vs Rosa/Ruby Soho, and frankly every women's match in the Owen Tourney so far, especially Riho vs Yuka, are absolutely must watches.

Swerve and Keith Lee vs Team Taz is a banger worth watching

Young Bucks vs FTR II for the ROH belt

Samoa Joe vs Minoru Suzuki for the ROH TV Belt

CM Punk, Adam Cole, and Cash Wheeler vs Dax Harwood, all three of these matches are fantastic, Dax Harwood's been fantastic lately.

Rey Fenix vs Dante Martin

The entire MJF/Punk into MJF/Wardlow story is absolutely a must see if you've seen zero of it.

Keith Lee vs Isiah Kassidy... well worth it lol

Andrade vs PAC, Andrade vs Darby, Andrade vs Darby vs Sammy in a three way dance, and Andrade vs Sammy are all great matches that have made Andrade look so much better in recent weeks.

Jade Cargill vs Anna Jay for the TBS Title

Pre-Show PPV match: House of Black vs Penta/PAC/Erick Redbeard

The House of Back vs Fuego Del Sol and The Dark Order

Jamie Hayter vs Skye Blue, it's just a good little match

Jungle Boy vs Ricky Starks for the FTW Title

Jay Lethal vs Ricky Starks for the FTW Title, just watch the end of the match if nothing else trust me.

Jay Lethal vs Konosuke Takeshita

There are just a few things off the top of my head that have been very enjoyable matches and segments, for me anyway lol

[4real]

Sammy Guevera v Cody Rhodes ladder match is outstanding with possibly the best spot AEW has done.

Also check out Cody’s No Holds Barred match with Andrade.

Was the Arn Anderson Glock promo after September? If so that.

Jay White’s only AEW match so far against Trent on Rampage is great and got me hyped to see him more.

Any MJF feud. The Darby/Punk/Wardlow feuds are all outstanding.

[clifford]

Hook's debut match from a Rampage in early December
Punk vs Dax on Dynamite in...March?
Hangman's world title defenses vs. Danielson (x2) and Archer
Punk vs MJF in Chicago on Dynamite in February
Mox vs Yuta on Rampage a few weeks back

Decided to start this project off by watching Moxley / Yuta. Initial reaction was kind of, "This is pretty good but it isn't really wowing me," then the stomp on the steps happened and I pretty immediately got it. Really goes to show what blood can add to a match when it's used well because I don't think Yuta's resiliency would've been nearly as impactful without just how much the dude looked like he was legally dead, especially that moment when Yuta just jumped straight back to his feet. Really great stuff, should've watched it sooner.

Also I watched the Danhausen and Hook segment earlier in the show while I was at it. Not a lot to it but it was funny. ... Not doing entire shows for these mostly since there's a lot of ground to cover.

Decided after that to watch FTR / Young Bucks 2 next, though watching some other bits and pieces of the show leading up to it. Probably comment on that stuff all at once later but thus far done the Wardlow / MJF segments (probably going to go through catching all of those I've missed if nothing else) and a Jade Cargill promo. ... Also watching that Hardys / Butcher & Blade match at the moment just because I'm curious just how bad it is exactly.

Edit: I feel like if anything people undersold how bad that match is because I didn't see anyone mention how even the camerawork was completely incompetent. Lot of tight, shaky shots that made it very hard to tell what the hell was even going on. Whole thing was kind of funny bad but dunno that it would've been if I didn't know to expect it.

Further edit: Bucks / FTR was very good but it didn't exactly blow my mind or anything. Kind of just a pretty standard, though usually entertaining, insane frenzied tag match like you'd expect out of a Bucks match with good enough opponents. Also the ending felt incredibly abrupt with them just kind of torturing Cash for ages then Dax coming back in and the faces just winning in like two moves. It was a lot of fun but didn't really scream all-time classic to me like I've seen some people describe it.

Oh I don't think Punk vs Dustin Rhodes was mentioned by anyone

That's an old school type of classic, they both brought it hard for that match
