Cody/Finn was good with the two gelling way better than I would have expected for a first time match up. It was easily the stand out with the rest still being solid at worst and some genuinely nice matches like Io/Candice and Gargano/Corbin.

Bate/Axiom fed into each other's style so so well and was damn good. Like Cody/Finn it was the standout despite there being some pretty nice stuff like Dempsey/Gulak & Dijak/Wagner. 

Hangman/Mox was another fine match this week. Dug the opening brawl before the bell and how much of this came across as Mox a bit desperate for the win based both off his actions and commentary. All of that came together and sold the finish and aftermath being unsatisfactory for both men so well. As for Bryan/Thatcher, I like Bryan and like the idea of Thatcher, but I didn't much care for their match. It was fine but nothing really stand out at all. Darby/Joe on the other hand was lovely. Joe was not just a beast but a smart beast, and Darby was great his kamikaze attempts to bring Joe down. Only "weak" part was Darby not being able to get the thumbtack hoodie on in time. He should have opted for a jacket. 

Braun/Ricochet vs. Imperium was a great little tag match that exceeded expectations due to Ricochet and Braun already having a nice bit of chemistry built up and playing their roles wells. its kind of impressive how both can do FIP and offensive beasts so well considering their size difference. Braun's feud with Imperium has been a nice revelation as to just how good he actually is. Raiders/Brutes and Charlotte/Sonya were both solid-good matches as well but were not on the level of the big tag match that preceded them.

Right now its between Bate/Axiom, Hangman/Mox, and Braun/Ricochet vs. Imperium for me. Leaning mostly towards the tag right now, but I still got lucha and maybe Rampage to catch.

Between Bryan Danielson/Timothy Thatcher mat based limb work and the insane spectacle of Samoa Joe/Darby Allin. Went with the former as that's my style of wrestling. Honourable mention to Jon Moxley/Adam Page also. All three on one show!

Interesting how Danielson/Thatcher, Joe/Allin and Moxley/Page has split the board. Civil War~!

Every man for himself- GOD AGAINST ALL!

And Joe/Darby breaks from the pack!

Not 100% sure, I think I might've tied it up yesterday when I voted, but I'm glad to see it snag a few more overnight. Hangman/Mox would have RAN AWAY with it for me if it were on almost any other card - but Darby/Joe were just on fire (and I didn't think they could top their first encounter, with all the crazy swing into the guardrail stuff). 

I always get curious about the demographics of the Board on stuff like this, because I'd bet anything that I'm rating it super high by virtue of kind of still being in taste-formative years during the tail end of ECW, and then being right in the middle of high school for Joe/Necro
