I'm sure this has already been mentioned (I'm super late to the party!) but:
Kenny Omega and Hangman Adam Page vs The Young Bucks at Revolution 2020.
I'm losing my mind here. These matches I've watched today has just made me love AEW even more.
Okay, what the fuck. This is literally one of the best tag matches I've seen in a long ass time. The Bucks got to stop making me like them with these matches.
Also I don't know if this is a common take, but I'm definitely liking Nick Jackson more. From everything I've seen he seems to be the stand-out, at least from my perspective. I think he's a bit more impressive of the two, looks and ring wise. There's an absolutely fantastic sequence about 14 minutes in where he's taking on both Page and Omega at the same time and the kicks are beautiful shit. Every move is just smooth as butter. Just glorious. Very agile and quick, and yeah, I just love it.
There's some great storytelling in this match, especially loved the tension and history between all men. Feel like you don't see enough of it in tag matches. Some great heat here and it shows. The finishing stretch of the match was pretty incredible.
I can see what the rave is about now with Hangman Page. Hadn't seen enough to really form an opinion. I liked his look/character but hadn't seen many matches by him, but this match really showed me a lot of what he can do. Just great stuff. Really couldn't find any faults with anybody in this match, they were firing on all cylinders. If it wasn't for me seeing the runtime of 40 minutes, there would have been many moments in this match where I thought it was over for sure. I knew this was going to be good when the entrances finished like four minutes in and seeing how long was left.
The video above has foreign commentary but I was too busy focusing on the match to care. I've actually realised I quite like not understanding what they are saying because it means I can tune it out easier and just focus on what is happening in the ring. Not that AEW's commentary is bad, mind you. I'd probably be better off with this in WWE matches as I can't stand the commentary.
