AEW Rampage 1/13

HM: Darby Allin vs Juice Robinson
MOTYC: Anna Jay and Tay Melo vs Willow Nightingale and Ruby Soho

What a crazy match maybe crazier than Street Fight 1 given how bloody Ruby was. TNT Title match was really good too. Darby is as always on fire.

Nth.

AEW Rampage 5/5

HM: Vikingo & The Lucha Brothers (PENTA El Cero Miedo & Rey Fenix) vs. QTV Crew (QT Marshall, Powerhouse Hobbs, & Aaron Solo

Nth. Can't call the Firm Deletion a match, really, and it's not even the best cinematic match AEW has done, but it has some great spots and lines so it's not bad or anything.

This was the most Russo era TNA match AEW ever put on. I want more.

If there was any doubt it's now dead and buried: Orange Cassidy is a star and a main eventer. Incredible performance, with Mox of course as always just being incredible. The two workhorses of AEW giving their all for this beautiful, weird unicorn of a wrestling promotion.

Nth.

Man this was a blast, right from Rocky walking out in THAT outfit through to the end this was just good times. Mistico was super impressive, which is no surprise to most of you I'm sure.

It was even better seeing it live with a crowd full of Houstonians. Nth.
