AEW Revolution 2021

  • Tag Team Championship (The Young Bucks vs. the Inner Circle): 5/7. Jericho and MJF aren't particularly great as a tag team, but they're not bad. I didn't think they had any chance of winning though, so it didn't feel like the stakes were really there.
  • Casino Tag Team Royale: 7/7. I always love a battle royale.
  • Women's Championship (Shida Hikaru vs. Ryo Mizunami): 5/7. I felt like this was a bit of a letdown after some of the tournament matches that led up to it.
  • Miro and Kip Sabian vs. Best Friends: 4/7. Miro has been pretty funny in this storyline but none of the others have really sold me on it and I just don't care about seeing them actually fight.
  • Big Money Match (Adam Page vs. Matt Hardy): 6/7. I love the Dark Order coming out to support Adam Page and I hope they stay friends forever.
  • Face of the Revolution Ladder Match (Cody Rhodes vs. Penta El Zero Miedo vs. Lance Archer vs. Scorpio Sky vs. Max Caster vs. Ethan Page): 3/7. Ladder matches are just not good. Everyone's climbed a ladder before; we know it's not that difficult.
  • Street Fight (Sting and Darby Allin vs. Team Taz): 1/7. I don't need to see a 62-year-old man wrestling, or Darby Allin doing anything, and if you're going to do a pre-taped match then there'd better be some impossible stunts, magic, or at least a ridiculous arena to fight in. A wrestling ring set up in an empty warehouse just isn't it.
  • Men's Championship Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch (Kenny Omega vs. Jon Moxley): 1/7. This was a dumb premise to begin with, and it was always going to be bad, but the "explosion" at the end was just the most pathetic thing ever.
Overall rating: 4/7. Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch. Who thought that was a good idea?
