The Best Show of 2022: AEW REVOLUTION

 


    I called this "a show for the ages" and "phenomenal" and "perhaps AEW's best PPV ever." That's high praise, considering every AEW PPV is usually great. Revolution was stacked wall to wall with fantastic matches. Shockingly, the one match that everyone will remember from this show, the blood soaked dog collar match between MJF and CM Punk, was one of the weaker matches on the card. That's how great this show was! I said "you will never see a more exciting and action packed match in your life" about The Young Bucks vs. ReDragon vs. Jurassic Express match. The House of Black vs. PAC, Penta & Redbeard was "fantastic." Eddie Kingston vs. Chris Jericho was "great." The 6-way ladder match with Powerhouse Hobbs, Wardlow, Christian, Ricky Starks, Keith Lee, and Orange Cassidy was "a hell of a lot of fun." The Darby Allin, Sting, and Sammy Guevera vs. Andrade, Matt Hardy, and Isiah Kassidy match was "insane." And the main event between Adam Page and Adam Cole "was action packed and back and forth and dramatic and exciting and everything you want out of a main event." Sure, there were a few bad or boring matches, like all 3 women's matches, but for the most part, this was a wildy entertaining night of wrestling. I still remember after the Bryan Danielson vs. Moxley match when William Regal came out to make his AEW debut and the crowd went fucking ape shit. What an angle when Regal slapped them both to set up one of AEW's most ingenious groups, The Blackpool Combat Club. This AEW PPV would be hard to top in any year.
