Masvidal, JDS, Arlovski, and Paige Van Zant just stormed the ring and jumped Jake Hager for attacking Dan Lambert. They got at least a full minute of ring/wrestling time. Most of them looked awful and clearly untrained, but Masvidal absolutely nailed his performance, landing the running “askren knee” on Jericho. A+++.
I hate to say it, but the AEW hype is real, and the last two shows have exceeded expectations. And they sold out Ashe on Wednesday. Much respect to Cody and Tony for bringing it this far, and it seems to be only climbing.
I watched AEW when I was on a business trip about 2 years ago. It was one of their first shows on TNT. It was actually very entertaining for wrestling.
Just imagine 10 years ago, you show someone the jumping knee move and they’ll say that’s all fake, prowrestling bullshit and that it’ll never work in a real fight.
