I haven't seen Vikingo vs Laredo yet.

But.

Action vs Ocho was not a technical classic or a bloody brawl or (thank gawd) a lotsa-flash epic multi-finisher-kickout Meltzer-pleaser...

But...

...it made me +and *the crowd*) mark out so hard.

I think I'm just going to pick my FAVOURITE match this week. Even if it's easy to assume the Vikingo match was "better."

I don't think Laredo/Vikingo was the best Lucha match I've seen this year.  It's great but it didn't have Pig Destroyer or a Cerebro Negro bloodbath in it.

Vikingo vs. Laredo Kid reminded me of a story I read about Guns N' Roses. When they got signed to Geffen Records, one of the first things they did was go to the record company with a Jane's Addiction demo tape and say "Thanks for signing us, but we fucking suck compared to these guys!".

Vikingo, in his prime, as World Champion, put over someone of lesser standing that he's obviously a mark for.

Jericho vs. Andretti didn't have that impact because Jericho's past his prime and Andretti's comparatively not as talented.

GUNTHER vs. Ricochet.

Honourable mention to Action Andretti vs Chris Jericho.

I have such recency bias that I almost went with Sammy/MOX because it was the last great match I saw before voting.  But GUNTHER is so undeniably great.

We nearly always vote the same. GUNTHER is one of the best wrestlers in the world.

Raw, NXT, and Dynamite all had some good stuff that didn't really stand out above each other though I do appreciate Jericho/Andretti for putting on a solid-good match alongside a big moment as well. They could have easily left it at just the moment, but went above and beyond to make sure Andretti left some kind of impression. I know it was likely done just so Jericho could pat himself on the back, but it was still impressive with perfect the crowd reaction was.

Umino/Ospreay was the first match I thought I was going to vote for. Really good all around with Umino putting on an impressive showcase just keeping up with Ospreay to the degree he did. He really left as fine impression in the final third or so showing that fighting spirit when it looked like Ospreay had him dead.

Vikingo/Laredo Kid was kind of just fine for me until the last five minutes which were pretty damn great. Its wildly overrated in the end, but those final five minutes definitely carried it to the good level at least.

Mox/Sammy was solid, but I dug Sammy's matches with Bryan more. Blood for me in AEW has somewhat diminishing returns with how often its around. It also just feels a bit out of character to me in a truly off way when a guy like Sammy is embracing the bitey brawler aspect. I prefer him just being a cocky piece of shit. I did like Tay's slap and the finish. I ended up digging Best Friends/Dustin vs. B&TB/Kip/Seven more. That 8-man tag was not the best of AEW matches this week, but it definitely the most fun for me.

For once I actually voted for what I thought was the best match this week in Gunther/Ricochet. That was such a fantastic clash of styles with Ricochet showing tons of passion in his comebacks alongside his usual amazing looking athletic offense. Gunther was just an amazing force of nature keeping Ricochet down as much as he did. Typically I'd have voted for something else to make sure it got seen, but I can never be sure how much attention Smackdown matches will get here. There was also nothing else that really made me think people need to see this outside of maybe Umino/Ospreay.

For the first time ever doing this I have actually changed my mind and changed my vote from the The Elite Vs Death Triangle to Ricochet Vs GUNTHER. 

What a great match. Ricochet come out of it looking better despite the loss.

I still have to watch Smackdown. GUNTHER vs. Ricochet seems like it was made for me .

Going by what I watched this week — Any other week is would have been the eight-man on Rampage because of my OC/Best Friends fandom. Another impeccably laid out match heightened by the lovable antics of all involved - especially the OC/Danhausen Lie, Cheat and Steal tribute. 

But Jericho/Andretti was perfect professional wrestling.

Impact's still enjoying last week's big triumph, so with this week being mostly a battle of 2, my favorite match from the week was undoubtedly Jericho/Andretti 

Yeah, IMPACT! was kinda rough this week.  I hear good things about Speedball Mike Bailey versus Yuya tomorrow though.

Our WINNER is...... GUNTHER vs Ricochet- SMACKDOWN!

Second place is Chris Jericho vs Action Andretti!

Our disappointing underachiever- Sammy versus MOX!
