Still working my way through AEW Double or Nothing:
Hookhausen vs Tony Neese and friend was fun. Danhausen is a goof and I love it; the fans love him, too. Hook is actually really fun to watch and the dichotomy of the two works well. This match was what it needed to be but it's clear Danhausen is still recovering from his knee injury. Either that or he's playing into it.
MJF vs Wardlow was exactly what it needed to be. I would have been okay with MJF getting some more offense in to really sell it but this was fun. I'm convinced this whole 'leaving AEW' thing is a work, though. Then again I said the same thing about Cody and look where that ended up.
HArdys vs Young Bucks was....great for like 75% of the match but concerning for the other 25% or so. Something clearly went wrong with both Jeff and Matt during that match but they powered through. I'm worried for them but the match was still pretty good. I hope whatever went wrong gets fixed soon or at least addressed.
Jade Cargill vs Anna Jay (I almost said Serena Deeb, because I am an idiot) was just boring. After the first couple minutes I skipped through the match. Honestly, I just don't find Jade Cargill to be engaging at all. She's attractive and I love strong women but I'm not convinced she's that great in the ring. Not yet. Loved seeing Athena/ember Moon though.
**Edit** To be clear I'm not objectifying anyone, I'm saying that I feel that Cargill's success is because she has a specific aura about her, it's not because of her skill. If that was the case, she'd be at the bottom of the women's roster right now as opposed to one of the two champions.
That's as far as I got in the PPV. Only one dud match so far, and the best is yet to come, so I'll update as I go on.
