WHEELER YUTA IS FORGED IN COMBAT

 

AEW RAMPAGE 04/08/22

Bryan Danielson vs. Trent Beretta
A couple of WWE Superstars 2011 heroes going at it. You love to see it. This was a classic very-giving heel Danielson performance - if I had to describe how my ideal Trent vs. Dragon match would look like, it would probably be very one-sided, but this was certainly extremely good as well, with Trent dishing out some very nice explosive n' mean offense & Danielson being Danielson, aka the best. It was a good one. The finish was beautiful in its violence. ***

Jon Moxley vs. Wheeler Yuta
This kicked so much ass. I've been loving this whole little story between the BCC & Yuta. It's been an absolute home run, and this match was perfect for it. Sure you could argue that by the end they went into the overkill zone with the 2nd Paradigm Shift kickout, but I thought it fit the match well, because Wheeler motherfuckin' Yuta went into Terminator mode & was not going into that good night. The blood was an incredible addition, Yuta kicked ass right from the get go & Moxley was wonderful dishing out punishment to the kid. A hit in every way imaginable. This in some & many ways reminded me of the famous Nigel vs. Tyler match from 2008, where you could feel that a new star was born out of a youngster by having him go toe-to-toe (& some more) with an established ace-level star. Just terrific stuff, man. ****1/4
