Final Thoughts
Match of the Night prediction: With the loss of the Moxley/Cage main event, the match I’m most looking forward to is Orange Cassidy vs. Chris Jericho. I’m a huge mark for absurd comedy gimmicks, and Cassidy has one of the best. We saw some of the gimmick’s potential in his AEW Revolution match against Pac, but I believe that we’ll see it reach new heights against one of the greatest performers of all time, Chris Jericho.
I have two complaints about The Young Bucks & FTR vs. The Butcher & The Blade and The Lucha Bros:
(1) Stop calling The Young Bucks or FTR the best tag team in the world. AEW has World Tag Team Champions and every time their Twitter or their announcers talk about any other team being the best in the world they are reminding me that the championships are meaningless or at least an afterthought. Protect your belts so that I have a reason to get invested in your storytelling.
(2) Eight-man tag team matches are the worst. Eight people are too many people, especially in a company that already too sloppy with tag team rules and matches. Three of my favorite tag teams are in this match, but I can’t get myself excited about the cluster that’s about to happen.
