Dustin bled like his pa
Jericho STILL has it. Omega is the shit. And i guess Moxley showed up
It was a pretty good show top to bottom imo

Was a fucking awesome show. I often consider Wrestle Kingdom the best show of the year. Despite WK this year being damn good (if not a little underwhelming from the last few), I'd honestly say Double or Nothing was better all around. If Kenny vs. Tanahashi hadn't stolen my heart with its entrance, commentary, and actual match being fantastic, I'd honestly say Dustin vs. Cody was match of the year so far. Because honestly, it's probably one of the better American, Ruthless Aggression style matches in a long time.
After the whole Ashley situation I basically put an embargo on all things WWE and have refused to give them my money anymore. With AEW now being a possible alternative, I decided to strap myself to this horse and ride it out. So far, I'm being given no reason why this wasn't a great idea.
And yeah, Moxley's there. And the crowd ate it all up.

$50 was too much for me. If it were $20-30, I would've checked it out. But I DID watch the pre-show and am definitely rooting these guys on. Can't wait for the weekly show. The BR had a neat concept. There were some spotty moments, but I found enough entertainment value with it. Plus, c'mon, GLACIER. Lol. He may have sucked in the ring, but he had some great vignettes and an awesome entrance. The singles match was fun. Wasn't familiar with either guy, but enjoyed what they brought. I read the main show and it seemed like they delivered far more than anything WWE has (not named Takeover). Dustin bleeding like a mofo was quite the sight. Cody firing a shot at Triple H was fantastic (some would say petty, but I didn't mind it. After all, he did call AEW a pissant company). The women brought the goods. I've been a fan of Fenix and Pentagon Jr since Lucha Underground and had no doubt what they'd do against the Young Bucks. Bret Hart debuting the World title (which looked great btw - take note WWE) was a nice surprise. MOXLEY!! Fuck. Yes. I wonder how Vince took seeing him there? I think Monday may be interesting. Will anyone fire shots at the upstarts? Will the crowd chant A-E-DUB? Will WWE actually make improvements? I might have to plunk down the $$$ in August. The company has a long way to go obviously, but I am damn excited about their future. Moxley contract: 411mania.com/wrestling/update-jon-moxley-contract-status-aew/

I would argue Cody, the Young Bucks, Hangman AND Daniels/Kazarian didnt ALL need to win their matches thus giving the impression they started their own e-fed just to make themselves the champions but screw it, all of the matches were at 4 star quality or above.

Bro!
"Vince Russo wrote in his tweet, “There’s NO QUESTION that @wwe & @aewrestling are in bed together–NONE. Several things don’t add up. When you look at the entire picture it becomes evident. I’m going to invite the @cnsprcyhrsmn on the new “Truth with Consequences” to lay this all out. Bro—YOU’RE BEING WORKED.”

Russo is the kind of guy that I want to give a high five... in the face... with a brick.
I will say that the Cody/Dustin match was MOTN for me, closely followed by Young Bucks/Lucha Bros. I thought the storytelling between Cody and Dustin was awesome with a bittersweet outcoming but a heart-warming aftermath. Dustin bust out some moves that I would have NEVER thought the former Goldust would have been capable of. He's been under-rated for years and this match only proves that. Although I will say I thought Cody's entrance with the throne was a little cartoony, not to mention vain. I get WHY he did it, but yeah, it didn't quite gel with me personally.
In other AEW news, both Lucha Brothers were apparently injured during the match against the Bucks. I'm not sure how severe their injuries are. Also, according to Brad Shepherd, Renee Young was called into a 30+ minute meeting with Steph, HHH and Vince right before RAW started.
