5 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Rampage (Feb 4)
1. Then A Sweet Main Event
Both men followed up on their good promo work by delivering one heck of a headliner.
Lethal might've just reminded Tony Khan what he has on his hands. The former TNA and ROH stalwart should be doing way more on Dynamite and Rampage than he is, and he might be called upon more often after this banger - Jay and Ricky Starks somehow made that lowly FTW Title seem like a huge deal.
Starks is also someone who's fully deserving of bigger things in the future. His smooth counter on that Lethal Injection (into his Roshambo) for the finish was picture-perfect. Several wrestlers have already tweeted out .GIFs of that sequence, which tells you how slick it was.
If you're short on time, then skip everything else AEW presented this week and watch two things: CM Punk vs. MJF from Dynamite and Lethal vs. Starks from Rampage. Both matches nailed what they were going for. Top quality wrasslin' is top quality wrasslin'!
