MOTYC: Miro vs. Evil Uno


All from AEW Dynamite, 6/11/21

I gave the TNT championship match MOTYC because of the amazing storytelling from both guys. Uno knew he was outpowered, so he had to fight smart. And it worked, but Miro was just too strong. The final moments of Uno going for the Brodie tribute, then getting steamrolled and being forced to tap in front of the Dark Order did a TON to make Miro look like even more of a killer. I don't think anybody expected Uno to win this one, but there were 2 or 3 points where I thought we were going to see a huge upset. To me, that's when wrestling is at its best, when you get so invested in the story of the match that your emotions can override your common sense.

Everything else was great, and I love Christian's role of having a good match with a random roster member. Kind of like Cody's run with the TNT championship.

My favorite moment in the Tsuji match was him attempting a top rope move, but was too slow to get into position because Tana worked on his knees, missing completely, and paying for it. But boy did I want him to land it there and then

WMOTYC: Nia Jax vs Alexa Bliss, WWE RAW 6/14/21

So the match started out fine until Alexa started no-selling offense and then ~REGINALD~ showed up. And then he interfered for a DQ after a lovely top rope splash from Alexa.

Oh yeah and now he's starting to be brainwashed by Alexa.

WMOTYC: Jaxson Ryker vs Elias, WWE RAW 6/14/21

A bad match with the roles reversed. Elias should be the face, Ryker the heel. It also ended via count out.

Nth-ed. I blinked and missed Iwata elimination but regardless, the final two were amazing and if Mio Momono is not considered a top star in Marvelous, someone's messed up because she had big "gently caress YOU" energy regardless of who she was up against in the ring.
