My Top 5 AEW PPV's

Intro

Over the past few years, me and my mates have debated quite a lot of things, from, should my beloved Arsenal sack Mikel Arteta. ( the answer is yes ) Is captain Kirk, better than Picard. Or who would win in a fight between. Superman, and. Batman, but given the fact, that were all wrestling fans, and not just Nerds. I have often asked. What is the best AEW PPV? Given the fact that Tony Khans little promotion that can, has only been going for the past five years, it has managed to garner a strong following online, and in tv audiences, even though their viewing figures aren't were they need to be at the moment, their lead into PPV's 9 times out 0f 10 deliver, with one exception. ( here's looking at you Revolution 2023 ) So I think it's time we load up the Thriller tv app, sit back, and watch these PPV's. ( after you've read this)

5 Double Or Nothing 2020

This, for me, came at the wright time. I was at home, like everyone else in the world, due to global restrictions, brought in due to the, at that point, ever growing world wide problems. The Show opened up, with AEW Stars such as Nyla Rose. JungleBoy, and. Jon Moxley, amongst others, giving their thanks to the all First Responders, on a global level. This. Was. A message that needed to be said, and at such a pivotable moment in world history, as scare tactics, and unemployment, were slowly becoming the norm. The card was great from top to bottom, and the Stadium Stampede match was a highlight in hilarity. I mean Sammy Guervara getting suplexed across a football field, by. Kenny Omega, never fails to make me laugh.

4 All Out 2021

Ok, were do I start with this master stroke of a PPV. I could start with the debuts of Adam cole, and. Bryan Danielson, or maybe because this kicked off the run for Cm Punk, when he faced off against Darby Allin, or maybe it's because they had at least 6 match of the year contenders on this show. Tony Khan hit lighting in a bottle on this Night, and with matches like. Jon Moxley vs Minoru Suzuki. The Young Bucks vs The Lucha Bros in a Steel Cage. MJF vs Chris Jericho, and. Christian Cage vs Kenny Omega for the AEW world Heavyweight Championship. I think it was safe to say, that AEW were going to be ok.

3 Revolution 2022

I love this show. It's as close to near perfect, as you're ever going to get, in terms of a wrestling show. From Danielson vs Moxley. Chris Jericho vs Eddie Kingston. Adam Cole vs Hangman Adam Page, and of course. Cm Punk vs MJF. To me, this match is the standard bearer for excellent storytelling, in modern day Pro wrestling, I mean what more can I say.

2 All In 2023

Ok. I'm going to be a little biased here, because I attended this show, but the little did I know, It would go down in infamy, because it would act as the last action of Cm Punk, who would end being fired, after he had a backstage altercation with Jack Perry, but this didn't harper my enjoyment, because. Chris Jericho, and Will Osperay, had a solid match. MJF, and Adam Cole, had a barn burner of a main event, and the tributes to a recently departed Bray Wyatt, had me crying. It's moments like this, that make me think, there are reminders, that this industry, has moments that can be cathartic, alongside life affirming.

1 All In 2024

Just thinking about this show, brings up great memories for me, and it was only last weekend. Marieh May, and. Toni Storm, had a great match. The Casino Gauntlet Match, ruled major arse. Will Osperay, and. MJF, had a match of the year contender, and my voice has just recovered from Danielson vs Swerve. I also attended this show, So, yeah, what can I say. I'm biased.
