Haven't read a WrestleCrap article in years, and don't plan to again for a while after that. That article was far worse than the match could have ever hoped to be. Reminded me of modern cracked.com with the tryhard "roast" humor.

Who was and what happened to the Sunny Daze guy? Also Glacier having a freezing mist move is actually kind of genius. I'm pretty sure he showed back up recently as 'Steel City Brawler' and wrestled Tony Nese on an episode of DARK. I looked him up after that, and apparently he's maintained a backstage role in AEW as a video editor since the promotion has existed.

He was given a spot in the battle royal as a thank you for all the work he did

So I decided to watch the match to judge for myself. Yeah, it doesn't deserve a WrestleCrap entry. It wasn't good and I really don't want to ever watch it again, but it wasn't horrible and the crowd was definitely into it. It delivered exactly what AEW promised it would be - a bunch of indy guys with some kind of following but who the WWE would never touch being allowed to showcase their gimmicks on a national stage, no matter how bush league they might come across.
There were some booking mistakes with this though. They let the ring fill up way too much and stay full way too long. The match itself probably went way too long in general. Also, Adam Page was so far above everybody else in the match at the time and they have him come in last and still win? That's like if the WWE announced a Royal Rumble match just for NXT talent, then announced John Cena would be in it, the have Cena enter thirty and still win. What's the point? What's the challenge to overcome? Also, I have no idea how gimmicked it was, but I can't believe any company was still allowing staple gun spots in 2019.

Wrestlecrap is still a thing? Huh. The site hasn’t been the same to me since they updated it to that generic white format. I preferred the dated cheesy black and green 90s look. Then they added people who weren’t RD or Blade to write the inductions. But it really disappeared from my radar when Blade died last year and the podcast died with him

But it really disappeared from my radar when Blade died last year and the podcast died with him Yeah IMO when RD is writing the induction it's usually pretty entertaining but you can kinda tell his heart isn't in it anymore, kinda like later AVGN. When it's not written by him you get some real paint by the numbers things and really questionable inductions. I mean Nightmare Collective was right there if you want to cover something truly terrible from AEW.

It's all there in the opening: the writer was told to make an AEW induction, he seemingly hadn't watched a minute of it before, and he stopped when he found an article's worth of words to say about the first friggin' match.
