My Top 5 Takeaways From AEW WrestleDream

Intro

Now that AEW WrestleDream, is in the rearview, I sat back last night and watched the show again, and given the fact that hindsight is a very nice thing. I thought this would be a good idea to do a top 5 list.

5 Chris Jericho Needs To Retire.

It's no secret that I didn't like his match with Mark Briscoe. It to me, stands as a reminder, that this man is getting carried, by an industry, that allows wrestlers to buy too much into persona's when they're past their prime. Mark had to carry Chris through the early stages of the match, and in my opinion, it never recovered. I think Chris needs to retire.

4 The Womens Match Needed more time. 

Over this past year. I've become a big fan of WillowNightingale, and i'm an admirer of Marieh May. This match didn't play to their strengths in my opinion. The timing was all over the place, and it didn't get going, until it was to late. Do better when it comes to booking your womens division AEW.

3 Hologram and The Beast Mortas

I loved this match, but it was placed in the wrong part of the card, this should have been first out, the match was an underated barn burner, held within the confines of a 2 Out Of 3 Falls match. Their chemistry, and physicality shone through, but these men worked with what they were given, especially following that International Championship match, that has become a match of the year contender.

2 Will Osperay Is Flying The Flag For The UK Wrestling Scene

As a fan of this great part of the sporting industry. I have never seen a talent like Will Osperay. At this minute in time, he's had at least 4 match of the contenders. For my personal tastes, his match against MJF is my match of the year from Wembley, but this has become a close second in my rankings. His effortless nature is something special, and if you're in a wrestling school. I urge you to study this man.

1 New Creative Direction

Yesterday morning I was sitting at my desk, crying, trying to hold back the tears, as a legend of this Industry. Bryan Danielson worked his final match, as a full-time competitor. I can understand the complaints about how the match ended, but when you take a step back, and look at it from a far. It makes perfect sense. Jimmy Jacobs has left the company on good terms, he has been an intrigal part in their creative machine, over the past five years. Things have needed to change for some time, this could go either way, and if it fails the Buck will Stop, at Tony Khans door.
