Jeff Jarrett pinned Eddie Kingston

[4real]

So yeah this happened.

Pros:

Match was pretty entertaining
It took 5 people to beat Eddie
It was in Memphis so Jarrett kinda had to win…I guess
Some sick table spots in this match
Great promo from Eddie after
Eddie is an underdog so he needs obstacles to overcome I get it

Cons:

Eddie losing to Jeff Jarrett
Eddie having to have a program with Jay Lethal
This felt very midcard. Eddie is the ROH World Champion.
He just won the belt and is already losing.

What were your opinions on this development?

[KME]

It sounds worse than it is I think, he was beaten down by 4 guys, often with weapons, put through two tables, took Lethal's and Satnam's finishers and two of Jarrett's as well.

I wouldn't have booked it that way but I don't think it really hurts him all that much.

[Facetious]

I didn't hate the match and I'm sure Lethal and Eddie will put on a good match.

I'm just over Lethal and getting close to being tired of JJ.

[Denny Zen is Cooking™]

I was fine with it, personally.

The ROH championship is a midcard title on AEW TV, which is honestly an issue with it appearing on AEW TV all the time, so that aspect of it didn’t bother me at all.

It took an insane amount of 5-on-1 interference and shenanigans for Eddie to lose, so I don’t think it makes him look weak. Also, like it or not, Jarrett is one of the most decorated pro wrestlers of all time so it’s not like it’s a terrible blemish on his record or he lost to a jobber or anything.

Lethal has a ton of history with the ROH title and makes sense for Eddie to feud with and beat, I think.

[chronocross]

I liked it myself as it took all 5 of them to beat Eddie and plus I like Jarrett's work so I didn't mind.

[Lizuka #BLM]

I don't really care enough about the ROH title to particularly mind, especially if it was protected, but goddamn the Jarrett / Lethal thing continually being on TV all the time always in a title feud suuuuuucks.

[Dub H]

As soon it was announced Eddie in a program with whatever that group is I lost complete interest

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

You don't want to make a habit out of it but Eddie isn't someone who's presented as this unbeatable badass. Part of his charm is taking a beating and coming back for revenge.

[Harry The Arrow was Wrong!]

Yeah I didn't like it. I don't care if it took 5 people, Jarrett should not be pinning Eddie Kingston.

You could have gotten to a Lethal match a million other ways. Or better yet he could not feud with f***ing Jay Lethal.

[Giul T.]

Clearly he knew TNA was coming back and got his Planet Jarrett powers once again.

[Zone Was Wrong]

Eh, Planet Lethal or whatever is a JTTS stable. They won a non title match with tons of interference and weapons. Eddie will beat Lethal as a minor defense of the title. Lethal was a champ in ROH a bunch, so not like it's uncalled for for him to wrestle for the title against Eddie m

[clifford]

Basically it was a 5-on-1 handicap match, the match itself was insanely fun, Double J got a big win and it led to Eddie's best promo in about 2 years.

I see nothing bad here

[Cyno]

As much as I don't care for Jay Lethal, he has a long history as an ROH Champion. So I get why Kingston vs Lethal makes for an enticing match. The match itself was fun, stupid Memphis bullshit. The cooler spot with the hot dogs was incredible lol.

[mj0mn0m]

Jeff Jarrett once again in the coolest match of the show. 💪 Interesting program for Eddie Kingston to overcome. 🤔

[markymark]

Losing to Sammy is worse than losing to Jarrett crew lol

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

It was perfectly fine, and it gave us an INCREDIBLY Eddie promo afterwards that sets this match up even better

I know people are sour on Lethal but Jeff getting a cheap street fight win where four other people had to help him means absolutely nothing

[The Ichi]

Honestly besides the above points, Jarrett has jobbed a lot in his AEW run so I don't mind it.

[Kalmia]

Jarrett and a million other people pinned Eddie Kingston. It didn't make Eddie look bad, IMO, apart from the fact that he has no friends to help him.

I'd rather have had the Lethal match as the appetiser to the Jarrett main though.

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

So Jarrett gets a title shot at one of Eddie’s belts, right?

The stip for this match was specifically that if Jarrett won, Lethal got the ROH World title match.

But no way Eddie doesn't get his win back too.

Run Eddie/Jarrett 2 back at the Tokyo Dome, those fans are well overdue a superstar lol
