Chris Jericho vs. Nick Gage (No Rules) (Second Labor of Jericho), from the July 28, 2021 episode of AEW Dynamite
Ways Wrestling Twitter Can Be Bad Number Seven-Hundred-And-Twelve: discussions of this match amount to “it happened, therefore, five stars” or “I don’t like deathmatches so I hated this”. For me, Gage did his greatest hits to get a pop and then they went home, and while the crowd seemed overjoyed to see it, the little wrestling he did outside of the brutality probably won’t get him a job in the company. Outside of the finish and the post-match angle working to keep the audience reaction in check, there’s little to discuss about this, the bare minimum of a good deathmatch.
