AEW Dynamite 01/22/20: Adam Page & Kenny Omega vs. SoCal Uncensored
I thought there was literally nothing memorable about this match except
for the result. Extremely basic action all the way through from start to
finish with none of it being gripping or interesting in the slightest. I
don't want to call the match bad though, because there was nothing
actually _bad_ about it, but it was just "a match". *3/4
AEW Dynamite 01/22/20: Jon Moxley vs. PAC
Really liked the whole dynamic revolving around Moxley's injured eye w/ PAC going after it constantly with them nasty crossface shots & all. Them Kawada Kicks looked even more vicious than usual because of that. Very good match, and and as a lil' sidenote, Jericho was also excellent on commentary. ***1/2
WWE NXT 01/22/20: Imperium vs. Matt Riddle & Pete Dunne
The whole match felt like a really hot stretch of awesome wrestling. Everybody involved killed it, and the thing got hotter & hotter as it went on, and then ultimately it ended just at the right time. Another quality tag bout for Riddle & Dunne. ***1/2
WWE NXT 01/22/20: Keith Lee vs. Roderick Strong
Really loved everything about this. Roddy as the douchebag true heel w/ his stablemates & all, going against the red-hot babyface Keith Lee was a wonderful setting already on paper, and they wrestled one helluva match, to say the least. Keith is great with all of his Keith Lee-shizzat, them power moves & that freaky athleticism, and the main-meat of the match, which was Roddy's work on the ankle, was fantastic. Roddy was his usual intense self w/ that laser focus as he went to town on that bodypart, and it was truly a joy to watch. Keith's selling was great throughout too. Just a superb match & a great title change. ****
