Match type: SinglesWinner / result: Konosuke Takeshita
Priest is dope. We all know who we think of when we see Priest. It's spoooooky (it's Halloween)
Priest is so fricking technically sound, much like some other guy.... I'm just waiting for this dude to hit a flying headbutt
Great in ring storytelling/psych with Priest focusing Takeshitas knee to level the playing field against a more than worthy adversary.
Best Raging Fire i have seen, my boy Priest got up there.
The way they book this guy, i think he is gonna get a chance soon. A real chance. More likely it will be a run in the ROH pure division. If that comes to fruition, i will be watching ROH every week.

Squash.
DD always looks strong.
Jobbers did their work properly and effectively

Served its purpose, but nothing spectacular. Very talented dudes that can go.
AEW / "Fright Night" Collision ↗
Match type: SinglesWinner / result: Ilja Dragunov
Ilja was built for this place. This is a great choice for his second opponent. Mortos can match Iljas Physicality
Ilja does a dope deadlift and holds him there before hitting a modified german suplex. Very impressive.
Enjoyable bout.

Match type: Six Man TagWinner / result: Triangle Of Madness
I love me some Joshi, pumped.
So there is a part where Fuwa-Chan is taking offense from all 3 girls, and she is just going in the wrong direction with each sell. She jumps out the ring like a full two Mississippi after getting hit the opposite direction. This aggravated me.
Koguma is the mvp of this match. All her offense looks great.

A long (ish) squash, but a unratable squash nonetheless.
Got the crowd on their feet though, which is rare for a match like this.

Sydal looks bigger than i remember him ever being.
Pretty sturdy opener. I enjoyed it and its always nice seeing Sydal.
AEW / "Fright Night" Dynamite ↗
Match type: SinglesWinner / result: Queen Aminata
Aminata coming off a 3.3 star rating last week against Maya World
Wanted it to be a little better. Was decent, but i wanted more.
New champion, and all the face ladies come out to jump up and down

Match type: SinglesWinner / result: Darby Allin
There is no such thing as a double main event... that's a cop out, period.
Enjoyable bout, best of the night thus far.
Tombstone through chair spot was not needed, but i get it i guess.
Ironically, it looked safer than the dragon screw Darby took at the very start of the match.

Match type: SinglesWinner / result: Marina Shafir
No rating, squash match setup for Mercedes confrontation.
This whole series thing feels stale. Even if it had actual stakes, it would still feel stale.
Its good, but it just feels empty.
FTR looks bored, especially Dax. It is like he is just through the motions.
FTR DID THE STUPID NONSENSICAL FLIP SPOT THEY DID LAST MATCH. OKAY, WTF MAN? WHAT IN THE FUCCKKKK
MCMG get the win and are up 2-1
I wonder who wins next... eye roll. Massive fucking eye roll.

Match type: SinglesWinner / result: Kyle Fletcher
I am a fan of when Callis is on commentary. He remains oddly unbiased for the most part and consistently manages to compliment and put over the opponents. He walks the line in such an interesting way to me.
We don't talk enough about how impressive Fletchers transformation is. It is reminiscient of Drew McIntyre
Perry takes a wicked powerbomb off the side of the apron. It hurt
I do not agree with Jack kicking out of the brainbuster. It does not need to happen, he has proved his resiliency.
If you go back and watch, there is a shot of the commentary table from the ring. To the left of Taz, you can see a visibly upset African American woman shaking her head in disappointment. She is the physical embodiment of how i feel in this moment. She is kin.
Perry bit Kyles dick... it is implied he bit his dick while holding him in powerbomb position. I mean... dude what? I was just enjoying this match a couple mins ago, what happened?
Jack needs a different submission, he is too small to believably pull off the move and commentary had to cover for him by saying he didn't have all of it.
They botch Kyles turnbuckle brain buster finisher. Jack hits on the second rope. I mean, what the heck happened to this match?
Mox is a workhorse. It's heartwarming how much this guy goes through for what he loves.
The Last Outfit got rejected evidently lol
They are now "The Cut"
Honestly, a lateral move in my opinion.
This match should rule.
Crowd is hotttt
aw man they botched a near fall and Jay was definitely down for 3 due to the legit tightness of Garcia's hold
Crowd starts booing.
"Don't smack the audience in the face and say 'this is fake'" - paraphrased Cornette
Massive Wheeler Yuta pop and a dirty win for The Cut
Jay pins Garcia
The botched near fall hurt the rating
*Post match*
Claudio needs the big belt at some point. Not a tv belt, not the continental, the world heavyweight championship. I know he doesn't need it, its what i wanna see before he is gone. I want to see him be the guy.
Match type: SinglesWinner / result: Jay White
This has to be good. This has to be fun. These are my thoughts pre match.
Very strong start
Excellent stuff. Jay using his counter style to perfection
Match of the night by a small margin
Match type: Tag TeamWinner / result: Wrathlander (DQ)
Relatively high hopes for this match. Been marking for DD for a while now.
DD's offense looks great, Wrathlander not so much.
Big botch on a crucifix powerbomb, Megan lands right on Harley with all her weight. The move wasn't executed proper and didn't look believable. This hurts, both rating wise, and literal wise.
Schiavone has been off all night, this man has gotten so many names wrong. Calls statlander "Harley" twice before they correct him
He keeps sayin "Wrathlander, if you will" and its like "ya dude, i will. its their fucking name"
Statlander is moving like she is covered in actual ring rust
Sisters of sin come in to give Wrathlander the DQ victory
Match type: Tag TeamWinner / result: Speedball & Andrade
Speedball bowed to the groupies, that made me laugh.
They gave Andrade a frame for his contract
Squash, no rating.
Speedball's kicks rule.
Match type: SinglesWinner / result: Swerve Strickland
Myron recovers from a pre match House call in record time
the flow of this match is confusing.
Reed is impressive as hell
Swerve is making him look great
I hate how people have to sit up for the swerve stomp. Its not as bad as Speedballs finisher setup, but its frustrating watching a dude move in position and sitting up to receive something. Visible cooperation takes me out of it every time
Both guys are great, but this one did not resonate with me
Match type: Singles
The camera stayed on Rocky for too long and ruined a dope spot.
Squash match, no rating.
Match type: 8 Man TagWinner / result: Death Riders
Carli is great, he just needs to tone down the cartoony shit a little and he can be a legit star
Claudio holding Shane Taylor up in a standing suplex is nuts
Big show thinks its really funny to call a suplex a "sue play"
Well timed, fun match. Marina gets the sub victory as a message to Mercedes and a tribute to PAC via brutalizer.
