AEW Double or Nothing 2021

• Singles (Brian Cage vs. Adam Page): 4/7. These two are both good, and I guess it's building the Team Taz story, but it wasn't clear what the point of the actual match was supposed to be.
• AEW Tag Team Championship (Jon Moxley & Eddie Kingston vs. The Young Bucks): 4/7. Both teams are good, but the match didn't really interest me because it was pretty clear which way it was going to go.
• Casino Battle Royale (21 competitors): 6/7. I always love a battle royale. This wasn't the best one, but it wasn't bad.
• Singles (Anthony Ogogo vs. Cody Rhodes): 4/7. The framing where the American is automatically the good guy just doesn't work for me (or, I suspect, for most people outside of America) and so the story they're trying to tell is in conflict with the reality that Anthony's been making some very good points and Cody's been... bad. The match was ok though, and I must admit I did like Cody's outfit.
• TNT Championship (Miro vs. Lance Archer): 6/7. Took a bit for me to get into it, but once I did I was 100% on board.
• AEW Women's Championship (Shida Hikaru vs. Dr. Britt Baker): 5/7. Had a few good moments, but everyone knew how this was going to end and it took a bit long to get there.
• Tag Team (Sting & Darby Allin vs. Scorpio Sky & Ethan Page): 2/7. Why do they keep saying this is Sting's first match in six years? He was in the stupid street fight at Revolution. I bumped this up a point because Page held Allin over his head and threw him, like, two metres. It was pretty awesome. But I could not give less of a shit about Sting or Darby Allin.
• AEW Men's Championship Triple Threat (Pac vs. Orange Cassidy vs. Kenny Omega): 6/7. Almost great, but this Kenny/Bucks/Good Brothers team just doesn't work for me.
• Stadium Stampede (The Pinnacle vs. The Inner Circle): 6/7. Some very good pieces that didn't really mesh at all. You could probably fix it with editing and get a 7/7.

Overall Rating: 5/7. Nothing was quite as good as it should have been, and some things could easily have been cut. Like the two non-championship singles matches - they weren't bad, they just didn't need to be there. They could have been on Dynamite.

WWE WrestleMania Backlash

• Raw Championship Triple Threat (Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka vs. Rhea Ripley): 5/7. Had its moments, but I really would have preferred to see any two of them in a singles match. There was one really good bit where just Ripley and Flair were in the ring and it was like, that, that's the match I want to see. And then Asuka was back and... meh.
• Smackdown Tag Team Championship (Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode vs. Rey Mysterio): 3/7. It was all a bit obvious.
• Zombie Lumberjack Match (The Miz vs. Damien Priest): 5/7. Fun concept. Not sure it quite worked, although the bit where Miz and Priest were both fighting the zombies was good. It would be really cool if, next time we see them, Miz and Morrison are zombies. But I doubt they will be.
• Smackdown Championship (Bayley vs. Bianca Belair): 6/7. Bayley is great.
• WWE Championship Triple Threat (Drew McIntyre vs. Braun Strowman vs. Bobby Lashley): 5/7. I wish it had just been McIntyre vs. Strowman.
• Universal Championship (Cesaro vs. Roman Reigns): 7/7. Cesaro is great. Pat McAfee's commentary was distractingly bad, but in the end it didn't matter.

Overall Rating: 5/7. No real low points. The Smackdown Tag championship wasn't great, but it was fine. I do wish they'd cut back on the number of triple threats, but they were fine.

iMPACT! Under Siege

• Singles (Brian Myers vs. Black Taurus): 4/7. I don't remember why these two are fighting. It was ok.
• Tag Team (Kimber Lee & Susan vs. Taylor Wilde & Tenille Dashwood): 5/7. I don't know where this story is going, but the match was surprisingly straight-forward and good.
• Men's Tag Championship #1 Contenders (Ace Austen & Madman Fulton vs. TJP & Petey Williams vs. XXXL vs. Rohit Raju & Shera): 4/7. Too many people involved, and the stupid "only two wrestlers legal at a time" rule is still bad.
• Singles (W. Morrissey vs. Willie Mack): 2/7. Don't like Morrissey; don't like his gimmick.
• Knockouts Tag Championship (Jordynne Grace & Rachael Ellering vs. Fire N Flava): 5/7. Weird ending. I like Rachael Ellering though.
• X Division Championship (Josh Alexander vs. El Phantasmo): 5/7. I like El Phantasmo.
• Knockouts Championship (Deonna Purrazzo vs. Havok): 5/7. A bit slow, but not bad.
• Six-Person Tag (Kenny Omega & the Good Brothers vs. Eddie Edwards & FinJuice): 5/7. I would rather have watched just the Good Brothers vs. FinJuice again.
• Impact Championship #1 Contender (Chris Sabin vs. Chris Bey vs. Sami Callihan vs. Matt Cardona vs. Trey Miguel vs. Moose): 5/7. Should have been an elimination match. Why don't they do more elimination matches?

Overall Rating: 4/7. It was an ok show, but pretty low-key. Basically just a regular episode.
