Bought last night's PPV and it didn't disappoint. I don't have cable so I can't watch weekly, but I think I'm going to keep getting the pay per views. I like what I saw. I used to watch Kingston 15 years ago in Chikara Pro. It's nice to see him getting a break.

This is good for wrestling, Everybody stepping up their game. Can't wait for Bray Wyatt's "debut".

It was a heck of an event. I do hope AEW can keep up the momentum. The Monday Night Wars were at their best when both WCW and WWF were on fire.

So, I guess that class A specimen Bryan Danielson is set to ride the coat-tails of "the best in the world", CM Punk, all the way to the bank? Meanwhile, the existing roster queues up to worship marquee signing Adam Cole? No chance.

The matches ... so what gives?
'Lucha Bros entered the Now Arena to pomp and circumstance, with Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix sporting headdresses as their theme song was performed live for the first time.
The Young Bucks followed, with the AEW tag team champions oozing confidence despite not having The Good Brothers, Brandon Cutler and Don Callis available for backup due to the steel cage stipulation.
The action was as fast, furious, innovative and creative as one would imagine based on their previous encounters. The Bucks dominated the action using their tandem offense to keep Penta and Fenix from mounting anything resembling a sustained comeback.
The Bucks attempted to dishonor their opponents by ripping at their masks. Penta bled under his shredded face covering, with his injury further exploited after the champs introduced a special boot adorned with thumbtacks. They used it on the challengers, but the Lucha Bros refused to stay down.
Bloodied and battered, Fenix mounted a courageous comeback, giving Matt and Nick Jackson some of their own medicine by way of the tacks. Penta and Matt delivered stereo package piledrivers on the ring apron, laying out each other's younger sibling. From there, Penta delivered an avalanche destroyer on Matt.
The challengers delivered the Fear Factor for a near-fall as Matt just broke up the pin. Fenix scaled the cage and Nick attempted to join him, only to bump to the mat below. Fenix soared off the top, wiping everyone out, then joining Penta for the spike piledriver on Nick for the win and titles.
Result
Lucha Bros defeated The Young Bucks to win the titles
Grade : A+
And with that, we have our Match of the Year for 2021.
Anyone who has seen the Bucks and Lucha Bros battle before knew what to expect. We knew it was going to be wild and chaotic with feature spots fans could never dream of. We knew the two teams would go, pardon the pun, all-out to settle their feud.
A crowd extraordinarily into the challengers, spots impossible for any other performer to possibly execute and a stronger story than we have seen out of the teams before helped elevate this beyond even their greatest encounters.
The emotion of Penta protecting his young brother, only for Fenix's fearlessness to be the deciding factor in the match was a nice touch. The Bucks pulled out every trick they could, resorting to the underhanded tactics that have defined their reign. On Sunday, it simply wasn't enough to squash the spirit of the challengers.
What a match and an even cooler moment.'

Finally, somebody tells it like it is about these overhyped newcomers. Didn't expect it to be Taz but even a broken clock's right twice a day.
Better yet, the crowd in Cincinnati, Ohio chanted "You still got it!" at Punk like he'd ambled to the ring with a zimmer frame. Can't wait for Jon Moxley to steamroller all these fools.
Taz ends the lovefest and calls out CM Punk
