AEW DYNAMITE 03/30/22
CM Punk vs. Max Caster
This was a serviceable match all in all, but ultimately it was pretty much nothing. One of those TV-matches that totally happened & were there, but offered nothing TRULY interesting. And that's ok. Fun to watch Punk have a little sub-10 minute tv outing like that regardless of how I felt about it being interesting. *1/2
Jay Lethal vs. Jon Moxley
This was solid. The classic TV formula of them nicely teasing that this guy who is isn't featured on TV very much, but is respected as an in-ring threat, could actually beat Mox, as he put him in some pretty real peril. The legwork was solid for sure & Moxley's selling of it was nice. Nothing to truly write home about, but a welcomed enough addition to a weekly show. **
Bryan Danielson vs. Wheeler Yuta
These two were featured in a great tag match a few weeks ago where they set this match up perfectly. A 10-minute match which was all about young Wheeler Yuta standing up & showing fire against the greatest professional wrestler to ever live. It's a classic story to tell, and I usually love it every single damn time. Bryan was obviously fucking great at his role, dishing out punishment & being a little extra-dickish to his opponent. Yuta was also awesome, rocking his role pretty damn excellently; he showed just the right amount of emotion for a match of this kind. Him stealing the Danielson elbows & then spitting at Danielson before getting his head stomped in = such good shit, my god. What a banger of a TV-match, a brilliant little angle. ***3/4
