Jericho / Strong was pretty damn nutty.

[Lizuka #BLM]

Kudos for having the faces be the ones to exploit the obvious loophole in the rules this time.

Also that part where they were fighting above the stairs 1), was terrifying, and 2), reminded me a lot of the Barrett / Orton Falls Count Anywhere where they went in an elevator.

[Doo Doo Dickhead]

I love falls count anywhere matches that end outside the building.

[Cyno]

Adam Cole being prepared to get involved but still follow the rules on a technicality was a thing of beauty.

[FinalGwen]

I like that AEW anywhere falls matches are usually as chaotic as an old Smackdown game, not that invested in this feud and the interference ending was telegraphed as soon as they stepped outside, but that was a lot of fun.

Also, when Jericho was first thrown over that railing in the stairwell I didn't see the platform underneath and was seriously freaked out for a moment.

[Hypnosis]

I like how the chopping duel on the stairwell felt like a final battle in a movie.

I did not expect Roddy to win but that was a pretty big deal for him, and a great reversal of what normally happens and the heels beat down the face. Great way for Cole to get revenge

Jericho's on a very steep losing streak. I wonder if he eventually loses JAS. If the Sammy turn is legit, it might be possible...

[Wieners=$$$]

Great match.

AEW shows love to faces that are smart, or as I like to call them farts.

Let's go farts!

[Bang Bang Bart]

I'd like to think that being a career heel has helped Adam Cole pick up on some of the bad guys' tricks.

[Kalmia]

It was a lot of fun. Add me to the list of people who didn't notice the ledge in the stairwell and thought Jericho was going to fall to his death, lmao.

Did the same because who knows how tall that stairwell was.

I have to say, I didn't expect at the start of this year a) Roderick Strong to appear in AEW, b) his first singles match be against Chris Jericho, c) that first match would be a Falls Count Anywhere match and for all of those things to not just happen but to be a damn tonne of fun.

Also, hey, props for a smart babyface for once. Adam Cole was banned from the building, he showed up outside the building knowing Jericho was likely not going to have anyone with him. Great! More of this, please.

[KME]

It summed up the night for me, absolutely wild and a ton of fun. Also add me to the list that thought Jericho was about to die on the stairwell.

[Dang!]

Big IF. I doubt it.
