WMOTYC: Jade Cargill vs Ruby Soho, TBS Title Match, AEW: Dynamite 1/5/22

So I was thinking about this for like 5 minutes on if I wanted to nominate this or not. Like the match itself...existed, but I think putting the title on Jade was the wrong decision. Felt like the title should have gone on Ruby even if just for a little bit, to ignite a bit of fire for the new belt. But the botches and the finish being...a thing did not help anyone involved in this match. AEW putting the title on Jade right now is a massive gamble considering how green she is still. Even if Ruby had won, I don't think people would have been opposed to a heel like Serena getting it shortly after.

Match was decent and got the crowd big for the closing minutes, in no way was this the "worst match of the year" candidate.

Dustin became a much better worker when he switched from the Yoshi Tonic to the Canadian Destroyer and reached legendary status by using the Canadian Destroyer off the Apron Through a Table.

Jericho/Kingston and the tag title match were around five stars, thought the dog collar match was very special but a little below those and the world title match a little below that.

Match of the night for me, really think you should make time for these 2 final matches at least. There is some brutality, Giulia is a big star who just oozes charisma from her pores, the whole thing just had that big match feel and lived up to that billing. Best women's match I've seen this year so far.

Nthing these.

Definitely Hager's best singles match (maybe his only good singles match?), Eddie Kingston rules so much.

Statlander also rules but Red deserves a ton of praise, ever since turning heel she's been on fire in the ring imho. This was the best match of the show to me, great stuff and I feel like a Statlander title run is just over the horizon.

Hager had two really good singles matches with Wardlow. Everything he did with Wardlow last year was great. Wardlow.

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.

Just wait until you see the three Lash Legend matches from the last year that are even worse.

Speaking of I never nthed this
