The Wrestlemania triple threat doesn't deserve 5 stars. If Angle/Benoit is 4.75 then that shit is a 3.

I can take DiY in matches and usually enjoy it, just not their buddy buddy backstage stuff unless Miz or Loomis is there. In singles they are usually cringe except for Ciampa and Garganno has gotten better but still no reason to care for him.

He read it here, and we all heard The Great Brian Last, who has never been wrong, aka never missed, say it. If it wasn't true, they would say it wasn't true instead of blaring his theme to drown out the crowd and force shit on people, something AEW was supposed to be the antithesis to. On topic is AEW is pretty much 'nowhere near as good as people say' the fed.

The HBK Razor ladder matches haven't aged well because every subsequent ladder match aimed to outdo them. It's like watching the latest Avatar movie in IMAX 3D and then trying to act amazed by Fritz Lang's Metropolis from 1927. If you watch a bunch of wrestling from the 1990s, you see it for revolutionary. In a vacuum, it's a collection of spots and not as many as you'd think.

It doesn't feel MOTY good unless the rest of the year was lacking. I saw a McGuinness vs Danielson match from the same year that I enjoyed far more than the ladder match.
