11 Match Star Ratings From AEW All In
11. Zero Hour: Aussie Open Vs. Better Than You Bay-Bay - ROH World Tag Team Title Match
— Tweet
If you've never heard the expression "gentleman's three", it essentially refers to a good match with zero flaws that for whatever reason - a lack of importance, energy, emotion, something - means it is rated politely without anybody doing cartwheels over it.
This was the best possible version of a gentleman's three.
It was not ambitious, the work was solid, and there wasn't much drama to it. All of this was understandable - MJF and Adam Cole had the more important task of headlining the biggest show ever with the only hot storyline in the promotion - and immaterial.
In terms of what the babyfaces and heels should do and when, this was the most basic match you'll see all year - but also amongst the most effective. It was over to a preposterous, joyful extent.
The epitome of "did exactly what it needed to do": the match preserved the mystery that has captivated fans through an uneasy summer.
Star Rating: ★★★
