If it ended with the entire Pinnacle beaten down and MJF being threatened with the fork, it'd have been MOTY for me.

Instead, it uh...didn't, and the last commercial break/everything after it was somehow both as much of a joke as the sparklers AND far more boring.

i think they could've covered the crash pad better but i'm glad they had a crash pad instead of jericho just exploding in a puff of dadrock (as a friend of mine put it, and it would've flowed a bit better if they could've run without commercials and mjf shoved jericho off the top immediately after the surrender was confirmed

other than that it was a very good match

Yeah this is about where I'm at. I'm very interested in AEW's second shot at this match type because all the in ring stuff in the timed entrance portion was fantastic, it just kind of lost steam when they were clearly in the part of the match where they were waiting to do the finish.
