Rate AEW Revolution 2023

[Deleted]

I won't rate it simply because I turned it off at the main event due to not being a fan of iron man matches.

I will say that every match clicked except for the women's match.

[Nr1Humanoid]

Gave it an 8 since it did not hold my undivided attention which 10 rated shows do.

I liked the original ending of MJF barely escaping with the title despite not actually winning the match. It would have made great fuel for his next opponent to get under his skin. Not a fan of the eventual MJF getting his 2 pins and submission due to cheating tactics since AEW will likely not acknowledge it. Best part was watching an AEW referee doing his job for a change, if only for a few minutes. I guess he was so proud of himself he forgot to stay vigilant and pay proper attention like adults do when it comes to dealing with bullies.

And can we have seen the last of Jack Perry's family, por favor?

Loved the Trios match and love House of Black going over clean

Main event was an easy 5 stars. Easily my favorite iron man match ever

Couldn't get into the casket match and honestly I thought the death match had some stupid spots. Hitting each other with bricks? They're either not real bricks or you're not hitting each other very hard, because they would literally be murdering each other.

Not true. Just ask Marv.

10 from me. All of the matches were solid to great. What I loved most about the show was the abundance of clean, decisive victories. Ya love to see it.

[The Ichi]

I can't legally go higher than a 9 due to Samoa Joe losing and The Gunns retaining, but otherwise amazing show with two easy MOTY contenders.

[Germansuplex]

8 from me. Strong show, but I couldn't get myself to care about the main event.

We had an all time show last night and you still have people trying to nitipick everything this company does lol. I know everyone has opinions, but damn. Watch the show as a fan, and not a smark sometimes. You'd enjoy it better.

Also, if you don't like what this company is doing then don't watch. Same goes for any form of entertainment.

I meant to hit 9 but my big clumsy finger hit 8.

I loved everything on the show. My one gripe is that if your main event is a 60 minute Iron Man that is going to go into overtime, you don't need a bunch of long matches on the undercard. The only matches that felt the right length were Jericho/Starks and Joe/Wardlow.

People can watch whatever they want, and view it through whatever perspective they want.

I do have one incredibly minor complaint just so I'm not just being an AEW Fangirl - Iron Man matches going beyond 60 is a real pet peeve of mine. If it's a draw at 60 minutes then the champion retains (Bret was robbed in 1996). They could have just had Max cheat to win right at the end and it still would have kept Bryan looking strong.

[thehottag]

The main event alone makes it a 9. That's the best PPV title match the company has done, I was absolutely gripped for over an hour.

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

Slightly surprised how much people love this, but I did think it was very very good.

I thought the Joe/Wardlow match was absolutely nothing, but not actively terrible. A number of recent AEW shows, ones I liked, had a match or two of total garbage.

[Hurbster]

Solid 8, too much blood as usual, didn't like a few of the results and the Iron Man match didn't grab me at all.

[spagett]

All Out 2021 was more newsworthy but I think this was the best AEW PPV ever and one of absolute best PPV's ever.

Top to bottom, great wrestling in front of a hot crowd and almost all of the winners were homegrown stars.

Loved the trios tag match and the iron man main event but the Texas death match was my favorite. What a brutal war.

[Some Baritone guy IS REDEEMED!]

Two legit MOTY candidates, including a main even which ranks up there with the Okada Vs. Omega IWGP Heavyweight championship trilogy, not a single bad match on the night. great story progression and a ton of fun the whole way through. How could it not be a 10?

Your point is totally right, and I remember being furious as a kid in 96 when Bret was robbed, but I think they were really going for putting MJF over here and so the finish worked.

I know he still cheated, it's MJF so it'll never be totally clean, but having him forced to go to extra time and then it ends with him making Danielson tap to his own move makes him look really strong.

I also think going to extra time really made the people think Danielson was winning which made the shock of the finish even greater.

Nobody's been overly critical of the show in this thread and the overwhelming majority of poll votes are positive so I don't really see what has provoked your post. It comes off more like you're annoyed that people who enjoyed the show didn't enjoy it as much as you did.

People can watch whatever they want, and view it through whatever perspective they want.

If that's all they do then it's annoying as hell. People can watch however they want, but they shouldn't be mad if somebody pushes back on their constant complaints.

This company is nitpicked to death and I'm calling out those people who did that.

I'll rate it a 6.5, but it's mostly due to my total lack of interest in most of the card and the people featured : when the only things on the card that appeal to you beforehand are a) finally getting rid of the Jericho/Starks feud, b) the bound-to-be-great Trios match, and c) hoping D-Bry and MJF will be able to make a 60 min IM appealing without resorting to overbooking it or ending in a frustrating way, your options are limited.

The current feuds and booking don't appeal to me much, I'll admit it, and everybody worked their asses off during the PPV, so kudos for that, but I just wasn't into it (except the Trios match, and maybe even the preshow, which was another fun, silly trios match).
