6 Ups & 2 Downs From AEW Rampage (Oct 22)

3. PAC vs. Andrade El Idolo II

The main event was everything fans had hoped it'd be.

Some may even prefer this sequel to the first because there was a little bit of bad blood. The usual face-to-face interview time (this time handled by Schiavone instead of Mark Henry) aided that sense of occasion and made it clear this was big time, must-see professional wrestling between two of the best in the entire company.

PAC and El Idolo didn't disappoint. There was flying, chain wrestling, brawling - everything was worked with such intensity. Andrade's springboard DDT onto the ring apron was a thing of beauty, and PAC's snarling face throughout gave an air of importance to the end result. He was out for revenge.

On PAC, that avalanche brainbuster he hits is fierce. Honestly, you need to see footage of that and the DDT if nothing else. Go out of your way to watch this even if you normally only read recaps of Rampage results. It's the kind of headliner that'll cater to every type of fan.
