What a loving incredible match. Keiji Mutoh is an absolute genius and Kaito has fantastic wrestling psychology for a man his age. Told a compelling story of Kaito having Mutoh completely scouted by this point with some absolutely crazy moments like a top rope Frankensteiner from Mutoh. Must watch stuff. too bad about the result

Konosuke Takeshita vs Jon Moxley
- I guess there was an ad break or something, Take was thrown out of the ring and suddenly he was back in and bleeding a bit? Maybe he saw Ueno's crazy blade job last month and got jealous. Take's stuff looked really good and the match didn't outstay it's welcome

AEW Rampage July 8th
MOTYC
Konosuke Takeshita vs Eddie Kingston
- King must be so happy they brought in Akiyama to do commentary for this. Match was great and left me wanting more, Take rules and Kingston has been great for 15 years, he's just a step slower and a touch smarter now. Whatever cut they made to this match wasn't nearly as jarring as the Mox match either, which I appreciated

The match itself was bad but the finish was probably the saddest thing I will see this year in a match.

Think I confused Lash Legend with one of the other NXT2.0 women because this has to be someone making her in ring debut against someone else making their debut. Obviously the finish is the standout moment and only rookies would not know they should go 15 seconds longer to improvise a finish that is more impactful than falling on your own face & grazing the opponent with a foot.

I have seen worse matches this year but only because they lasted longer. If this went 10 minutes the odds are someone would leave the ring on a stretcher. Wade Barrett said Indi has Hartwell has been wrestling for 6 years? Holy poo poo, did she wrestle once every six months or something?

I'm trying to imagine Dragongate putting someone as clearly unprepared and as lacking in basic ability in their 5 minute exhibition dark match spot and it simply isn't happening. WWE are doing these wrestlers dirty by exposing them on TV like this, even if NXT is only watched by 500,000 or whatever.

So that's an nth. They make Ruaka look like a competent wrestler.
