Jericho vs Gage - Fight For The Fallen

Great match. I just missed this match when I fully got in to AEW which was shortly after, one of the more entertaining Jericho matches I've personally seen from his AEW career. Pace was good and fast paced, plenty of blood and tools being used. Really liked the double chair spot especially. Gage was pretty awesome, you can tell this sort of match is his usual playground. I'm now realising how much punishment MJF truly put Jericho through before their match I watched.

Thanks for pushing me to finally watch this today @Hoss Delgado, I needed that reminder again

I can see why multiple people were recommending this match. It's definitely now in the top street fights/parking lot fights I've seen. Even a couple of minutes in they were doing crazy ass spots already. Sentons on to the car hoods. Match was brutal as you'd expect, and they actually made the most of being in a parking lot. Plenty of different weapons being used, and the powerbomb spots especially were vicious. The powerbomb in to the steel & then that double powerbomb to Trent in to the windshield was brutal, I felt every bit of that.

When they did the close-up on Trent's back. That shit must have been sore after the match. Guy took so much punishment, and this match definitely has put him on my radar even further. Orange Cassidy coming out of the trunk towards the final moments was fuckin' great. I wasn't expecting it, good way to get the tables to turn around in the Best Friends' favour.

I kept asking myself towards the end how they were even still standing, with the amount of punishment their backs took. Especially Trent. Yet he still pulled out an incredible finish on the truck at the end on to Santana that popped me huge. I'd definitely rewatch this a million times over. Icing on the cake was Sue picking them up & flipping off the camera at the end to close it out. Just another layer that made it even more amazing. Just excellent overall. Very impressed by it.
