I wouldn't put it as an HM but tonight was also the best The Bunny has looked. She's been pretty good for months but she was just doing wild stuff in there tonight.

Yeah she's benefitted from getting a lot of reps on DARK as she looks much more confident than she did.

I think having someone more experienced in the ring helped as well. The feud between her, Penelope and TayJay had her as the most experienced worker in the ring most of the time.

Wazzu: Feb 28, 2008; Are you sure I'm winning the Rumble? That does'nt seem right.....

Unnecessary nth to the MOTYC for Danielson Vs. Suzuki and HM for Punk Vs Sydal.

Suzuki's other two matches in AEW kinda sucked to me, here he looked like one of the best ever. Punk Vs Sydal had me cheering for Sydal to make it 1-4, and him to be the guy to stop the streak and take a big step in his career, but :unsmith:

Can't believe i'm Nthing a match with a gently caress finish but it's setting up the next match perfectly, I loved it, I loved Junior even though he's green as hell. Classic gently caress finish with the distraction and run in, I really loved it as a HM.
