POLL 12/24-12/30/2022- WHAT WAS THE BEST FREE TV MATCH OF THE WEEK? WHO COULD BE SURE!

[DEAN]

No real killer this week but loads of quality professional wrestling.  There was no RAW or (regular) IMPACT! matches so the cut list is very manageable this week.  The best AEW match is between Danielson/Ethan Page, MOX/Claudio vs Top Flight or Orange Cassidy vs Trent.  The best WWE match was between Ronda Rousey/Raquel Rodriguez, the Schism vs Blade/Enofe/Odyssey Jones, and Wes Lee/ Tony D'Angelo.  The best lucha match was PROBABLY Hell Boy vs Cerebro Negro or maybe Atlantis Jr vs Gran Guerrerro.  The best out of Japan was prolly AZM vs Hikaru Shimizu who will kick AZM right in the face.  El Lindaman vs Kaito Ishida was good but Ishida doesn't have the offense to make a compelling title match.  The best fringe match was probably the Kamille/Kenzie Paige match from NWA.  That was fucking great.  Or maybe the Danny Limelight/ Jordan Clearwater title match.  The bizarro matches of the week were Tommy Dreamer vs Main Event Bradley and the weird ass Willie Mack/ Jack Cartwheel vs Mecha Wolf/ Bestia 666.  I would probably go with Rousey/ Rodriguez but the Charlotte Flair crap postmatch diminished everything before it.  I'm going with Claudio beating the fuck out of Darius Martin.

CUT LIST: BUSHI/ SANADA vs T-Hawk/ Kaz Hayashi- GLEAT; Matt Menard vs Brock Anderson- AEW Dark

[The Natural]

Went with Danielson/Page.

[Eivion]

Wasn't able to catch the first half of Dynamite so I missed Bryan/Page and BCC/Top Flight.  Still need to catch OC/Trent.

Dug the CMLL women's match, and GG/Atlantis, but neither were blow away great or anything. Still need to catch the men's tag.

Probably will wait to catch AZM/Shimizu when I catch up to Stardom. Don't see it beating out anything even if its good.

Right now Raquel/Ronda takes the week for me easily. Best either have looked all year. Only wish Raquel won.

Not sure what else I might try and catch. 

[John from Cincinnati]

Without insulting anyone, Danielson and the BCC may both be best without one another. Claudio ties this trio into the best version of itself. Give him all the young fliers they've got. A point being made of Claudio teaching Darius a lesson after the neutralizer rather than the already-established Dante was time well spent. I normally resist the urge to vote, but this one was undeniable for me. 

Losing the mouthpiece = Claudio's dropping the strap?

I voted AZM because of her "body" of work.

[DEAN]

Top Flight/BCC take an early lead!

[DEAN]

Elite vs Death Triangle make a MOVE!

[Sammo~!]

I went with Trent vs OC because damn it sometimes I like my wrestling to be fun and wholesome! Also Danhausen kicking OC and the tope into hug both made me legit laugh out loud. Trent is secretly having a career year.

It's up for grabs!

[Boydy]

I only just remembered to vote. I re-watched a few of the matches and I went with The Elite Vs Death Traingle again. 

 

[Eivion]

Went with Raquel/Ronda thought Trent/OC was a close second. Really digging OC whenever I catch his matches. Really seems to have a great grasp of his character and the AEW audience. 

[DEAN]

WHOA!  The Elite vs Death Triangle SURGES to tie BCC vs TOP FLIGHT!  We have a fight on our hands!

[DEAN]

STILL TIED!

[DEAN]

AND! YOUR! WINNER! IS!........ A TIE~!

Matt Jackson/ Nick Jackson/ Kenny Omega vs Penta El Zero Miedo/ Rey Fenix/ PAC- DYNAMITE kisses his sister, Darius Martin/ Dante Martin vs Jon Moxley/ Claudio Castagnoli- DYNAMITE!
