Kind of up and down on the match, though think mostly come down on the side of a good bloodbath but sort of forgettable on the whole. Santana getting injured probably was part of it though, things happen.
Do really like the finish. Clever way to build dissension between Eddie and Claudio while still giving the faces the much-needed win.

Think I enjoyed the first one overall more but I liked the way this one ended more. Still a solid brawl, just sucks Santana's knee blew out

Loved all of it, really loved 2.0's selling of getting murdered the most, they were MVP's of this match
Guevara being insane was great as usual, and Claudio was a great person to iron man the match, he was brillaint, top of the cage swing on Jericho was CRAZY, and the finish was a great planted seed
This was better than the first one imo. But I do feel bad for Santana.

Gutted for Santana, this was probably going to be his last hurrah in AEW and he blew his knee out not even a minute in.

my only real complaint was the commercials but seeing the minions terrorize while someone was screaming with thumbtacks in their face made up for it

The Giant Swing on top was crazy I think that was the most memorable thing to me because that legit was dangerous.

Anyways I thought that was way better than the first one, I hope they don't make it an annual thing and instead just do it when it is actually called for.

This topped the first one for me. The plunder delivered in the first half and the mini-play up top delivered the storytelling. Plus I thought Sammy's bump was great.

Started off a little rough, but once Mox got in I thought it really picked up and ended up being great.

I imagine they'll do it like how WWE used to approach the Elimination Chamber and Hell in a Cell, where they'd tend to cater the stories specifically to it but it was still pretty much annual. Helps that with so many stables around it's not hard to come up with excuses to do it.

The Giant Swing on top was crazy I can already tell this will be my strongest memory of the match, just surreal and insane to see.

I enjoyed it but there is something to be said for doing TOO much and I think this match went a little overboard in excess almost leaving nothing for future iterations of the match.
All that was missing was a flaming table..which is what I thought was gonna happen when the rubbing alcohol was brought in.

As a vehicle to get Castagnoli in the mix as a major player right away, very effective stuff. Match as a whole was pretty good, probably couldn’t reach that all-timer tier with one guy injured as soon as he got in, though.

If you read lips, when Eddie was sitting on top of the cage and Claudio came over to him, he said “I can’t get up right now. [Something inaudible], my back. I don’t know what happened. I’m okay, though.”
It’s bad enough that Santana got hurt. Hopefully, Eddie is fine.

Given Jericho’s fireballs and Kingston nearly trying to set him on fire in Anarchy at the Arena, surprised there wasn’t any fire involved.

Thats fair, last years had the great opener with Dax and Sammy but that match was hurt badly by the commercial breaks and the ending that was mocked by everyone on social media.
