Best Moments in AEW so far?

[Some Guy]

Not mentioned yet but Mark Briscoe getting the win in the main event with a Jay driller in the Jay tribute episode for me is up there

[Natural Born Farmer]

Kind of a personal one, but Double Or Nothing 2020.

At a time when the pandemic was in full swing, the most contentious Presidential campaign in modern U.S. history was ramping up, and no one really knew how things were going to turn out, it was so wonderful to just be able to watch a high quality wrestling show and forget for awhile.

Maybe the first time since that March that I really kind of forgot about the situation to an extent.

[Kalmia]

The first Stadium Stampede. Perfect mix of drama and comedy and just what was needed during the pandemic. From Hangman on his horse to Sammy being run over and Jericho giving the Judas Effect to the mascot.

Hangman winning the title.

Punk's debut.

Sting's debut.

Omega vs Danielson and the crowd reaction to it.

Kingston with the can of gas.

There are lots of stupid comedy bits that stick in my mind as well. Statlander in the claw machine. OC in the bathroom. Everytime Sue appears.

[Nosnorb]

The moment Willow Nightingale became All Elite.

[dynamitekidd]

IT'S STIIIIIING!

Mox creeping up behind Omega on the first Dynamite, then proceeding to put him through a glass table.

Brodie Lee tribute show.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

This was so perfect:

[Viking Hall]

Mox's Debut still gives me chills, and considering what a cornerstone he's become for the company, that just makes it all the more pivotal.

Danielson vs Omega opening minute. Stare off. Crowd going wild. 20k people in stadium. Not sure it gets better then that. Felt like the moment AEW officially announced it's arrival as a major player and confirmation they weren't a flash in the pan and were here to stay. People said it was only a minority of hardcore fans who wanted to see this type of wrestling and this moment was one that shut that arguement down forever

Which show was this?

[Ronny Rayguns Is All Elite]

MJF and Jericho breaking out into a Song and dance number

The moment Hobbs turned on Starks with that STIFF short arm clothesline mid sentence

HOOK debuting after being a meme for a year plus and then he actually WAS amazing in his first match

[deezy]

Sting showing up !

[lucas_lee]

The whole CM Punk vs MJF feud. Man the promos were great.

The Elite trios matches just fantastic

Grand Slam 2021. The match is well worth a watch if you haven't seen it already

[The Ichi]

Too many to mention but I'll go with the entire Hangman title chase.

[FHgrad99]

Even though he completely ruined things afterwards, CM Punk's AEW debut was unforgettable.

The debuts of Adam Cole and Brian Danielson at the end of All Out 2021 were both huge for the company.

Sting's debut was also special and one I didn't expect.

Man that MJF Wardlow feud was great. Shame they botched Wardlow after. The whipping segment on Dynamite was also fantastic.

Cheers, I'll give it a watch.

Just last weekend, Orange Cassidy laying in the ring, completely battered, bruised, and beaten down after one of the greatest title reigns in modern wrestling history, as the crowd showered him in appreciation.

To me, that moment was the very essence of why AEW, despite all of its faults, is so great. When he debuted in AEW in the battle royal, Orange Cassidy was treated as every bit the joke entrant that guys like Glacier, Marko Stunt, Sunny Daze, and Dustin Thomas were. But, just 3 years later, he main evented a critically acclaimed PPV, and had an awesome match that ended with an incredible visual and moment.

Orange Cassidy, originally an indieriffic character based on Paul Rudd in Wet Hot American Summer could only have ever been given the opportunity to prove himself and succeed on a nationally televised product because AEW exists. And he's become one of the best and most successful wrestlers in the world, despite the Jim Cornettes of the world trying to reduce him to "hurr durr Pockets."

Just a great moment, and the culmination of everything that truly makes AEW feel like an "alternative," even to this day.

[Bang Bang Bart]

All In Wembley closing with Adam Cole vs. MJF and the two’s friendship becoming strongee. That AEW chose to close out their biggest stadium show with a storyline that likely pivoted into something different than a standard title feud is a big gamble that paid off for them big time (Punk drama aside).

[UN PLOMBIER NIGHTMARE #blm]

Sammy being chased with the golf cart and hangman winning the title
