I'm either way on whether I'll watch it again, but the main event was the most affecting wrestling match I've ever seen.
My girl had a cushion clutched in front of her for most of it - I left my seat about 4 times from bumps/spots. It wasn't even that it was popping me, I was stressed the fukk out pacing up and down my living room hoping they both had vital signs and full spinal cords by the end.
I don't think I've felt that since Rumble '99, but I think this match was 400 times more responsible than what Foley and Rocky did that night.
They achieved EXACTLY what they set out to achieve and they did it in an absolutely masterful way that hopefully left them both with careers... this is the best feud AEW has ever done and one of the best feuds I've seen in nearly 40 years of being a wrestling fan. It has at least two of the best matches AEW have ever put on. If anything deserved this match, it's this feud.
I think as a piece of ART this stands above Texas Death, but as a piece of art Requiem For A Dream stands above The Matrix and I'm not about to put Requiem For A Dream on in the background while I wrap my Christmas presents.
I don't want to see anyone try and top this. This is as far as I ever want to see wrestling go and only if you've got a feud THIS hot.
