PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK!
That's it. That's the intro.
Rampage.
Highlights.
HOOOOOOOOK!
I mean, I gotta support the man himself named Hook, DUHHH!
What can I say, I like a man that is built different, quick, agile and hard……..in professional wrestling, of course.
Suffice to say, Hook does something that Kalya Braxton doesn't and that is, making all biracials proud.
FTR vs Lucha Brothers for the AEW world tag team championship
Two of the best tag teams I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan (yes, they're THAT darn good) battling it out in an opening match so banging, not even your Beats headphone can replicate it, ya feel me?
The Lucha Brothers get to walk out of this episode of Rampage still as the reigning world tag champs.
Some Other Things That Happened.
Adam Cole defeated Wheeler Yuta - Adam Cole appreciation comment.
Dynamite.
Highlights.
Hangman Page vs Bryan Danielson For The AEW World Championship.
You know this match is good when it starts with a collar elbow tie-up, you know, like Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 20.
And you can definitely tell because, to quote Usher, they like it nice and slow. Obviously, the encounter did pick up and despite the hard-hitting action at the end, the match ended via a draw.
While yes, the finish sounds pretty underwhelming in concept, seeing the entire context gave me the exact opposite feeling.
Now thinking about it, the main reason why I don't mind the ending is that it aids in further character development especially for Bryan's new arrogant persona.
In other words, I smell a rematch (no f**king sh*t, Omar).
Some Other Things That Happened.
Wardlow defeated Matt Sydal - Shawn Spears gave Matt Sydal a series of chair strikes. Shawn Spears proved to us once again that he's still kinda there.
Serena Deeb lost to Hikaru Shida - A decent match is all I'll say.
MJF won the Dynamite diamond ring - Again!? Oh, and CM Punk as well as Sting and Darby Allin brawled with FTR and MJF. Eh.
