AEW Dynamite Episodes 2 & 3 -- the STUFF

Private Party vs. The Young Bucks
An honest spotfest at heart, but the match also had a nice dynamic of The Bucks being the cocky favorites-to-win veterans going against the younger, relative unknowns in Private Party. Good stuff. ***

Adam Page & Kenny Omega vs. Jon Moxley & PAC
This was some real good stuff all around w/ them doing a great job of hyping up the Omega vs. Mox singles meeting + also setting up Mox vs. PAC for next week at the same time. Very fun action throughout. My personal favorite bit was probably the dive sequence -- goddamn do I love Hangman's Orihara Moonsault. ***1/2

Chris Jericho vs. Darby Allin
I kinda knew I was gonna love this. It's a good ol' TV World Championship match with the classic setting of a nasty, confident heel champion defending against a wonderful underdog. Jericho plays his role more-than-well throughout & Darby OF COURSE rocks the shit out every moment in the match with his brilliant never-say-die underdog babyface act. Jericho dishes out pain in very compelling fashion, and Darby is one of the best in the world at getting destroyed, so it's great. ****
