AEW DYNAMITE 03/31/21
Christian Cage vs. Frankie Kazarian
The natural story to tell here was the one of Christian's ring rust, seeing as this was his first singles match in 7 years. And that's the one they told here with Kazarian being in control for most of the thing while Christian was in the selling-side of the deal. I thought that Christian's selling was really damn good throughout, which comes as no surprise, and it also has been amusing to see quite a lot of people question whether he was legit gassed or selling. That's some true master shit right there. Anyhoo, to the negatives. I thought that where the match "fell flat" (or more so my interest got lost) was in Kazarian's work on top. He didn't offer anything interesting at all, other than the Flux Capacitor, which was an awesome highspot for the bout alongside Christian's Frog Splash, but his control over Christian, which occupied most of the match, was meh at best. Extremely forgettable & generic would be the words. Overall I'd say that this did its job; it didn't end up being a very good or memorable match, and I definitely didn't like it as much as I would've wanted to like seeing one of my all-time favorite wrestlers first match back in 7 years, but it is what it is. In the grand scheme of things, it did its thing & sets Christian in motion for this AEW run. *3/4
