Violent & Bloody AEW Matches That Made Us SICK!
10. Blackpool Combat Club Vs. Best Friends, Eddie Kingston & Penta El Zero Miedo - All In: London
Stadium Stampede III was not as chaotic nor as epic as the first Anarchy In The Arena match, nor was it as as spectacular as the second, but it was probably the nastiest crowd brawl of the three.
The first AITA match was an impossibly great exercise in controlled chaos. The second was more staged, lacking that ungodly intensity, but - as you'll discover - it was sickening in its own way.
The third, lacking in novelty, compensated with the sheer level of violence.
In an iconic visual, one that lovingly toyed with the contrast of Wembley's über-mainstream backdrop, Penta planted skewers in Jon Moxley's head. The reaction when Mox tapped the skewers with his finger, allowing them to bloom, was incredible. A huge swell of awe-inspired disgust reverberated around a gigantic monolith of a packed stadium.
Before the chaos of the finishing sequence, in which - and this is a feature - the director could not cut between the brutality quick enough, the key sequence relied on the annihilation of Trent. In order to draw Sue into the save, Trent had to get wrecked, and get wrecked he did.
When Mox swiped at his legs, after Trent collided with a suspended ladder skull-first with the quickness of a light switch, the subsequent beat-down was so cruel and relentless that Mox, too good for his own good, was received as a true heel for the first time.
