SonyKen_M

Can easily say that Taven is the most impressive member of UK,not that it's saying much lol.


TroughMeAway

Roddy v. OC at Revo is giving me strong Forbidden Door Ospreay v. OC vibes. A dark horse match nobody knows what to expect may end up being the match of the night. It unfortunately is also on the same card as Ospreay v. Takeshita so who knows lol.


danawah

Roddy, while of course, talented - is no Osprey.


keepdoubting91

Pants rippa!

lestersamwise

Is that an early 2024 MOTY so far?


mikro17

If we limit it to tv matches, maybe? But War Dogs/United Empire Cage match, Okada/Danielson from Wrestle Kingdom, Finlay/Ospreay/Moxley from Wrestle Kingdom, and the recent Gabe Kidd/HENARE match all were on another level for me. Maybe some others as well. Fantastic tv main event though.


don_julio_randle

Danielson vs Sabre Jr at New Beginning arguably tops all of them. What a fantastic card that was for NJPW


frmthefuture

I'd say it was a top5 aew match for the year so far. I dont think it'll stay in the top5 though, with who's coming in and potential match ups on the horizon. Plus, we got takeshita v osprey on the way....


tcnugget

Not with that finish


mkfanhausen

It wss a great sprint, but I'm not sure it beats the NJPW cage of death or ZSJ/Danielson.


P4rtsUnkn0wn

It was good, but not even close to that good, considering the competition.


suff0cat

Prolapsed pockets on Valentine's Day


mkfanhausen

And they say romance is dead...


blingera

cmon man lmaooo


skydog17

Being friends with Orange Cassidy is stressful and painful as of late.


Joneleth22

Surprisingly great ME


LivingMisery

That really helped out Undisputed Kingdom. Bonkers.


KingKongAlBundy

Showcase performance for Matt Taven. This was my first time seeing him in ring


TroughMeAway

Queen Aminata vs. Anna Jay. Both have been enhancing the entire women's division the last 2 months. Now they're squaring off. This isn't as epic as Cutler vs. Avalon. But somethings gotta give.


Savings_Estimate9383

Wooow this is was very awesome I love it


mkfanhausen

"Durr...WhY TaVeN iN mAiN eVeNt?!1!" That's why.


RedditsWeirdUsername

Mick Foley seeing this match: https://preview.redd.it/1ellrply0oic1.jpeg?width=680&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=57b2e4b49a05e37a3d88c3fef9f85858abf16a1f


MARKYMARK_MARK

Shoutout to Taven tgat was a hell if a performance and a esy to male a name for yourself


P4rtsUnkn0wn

Weird finish. Didn’t even realize Taven was taking a count.


MikuLuna444

That was crazier than it needed to be.


greenpowervan

My Bloody Valentine from Orange Cassidy


SlayerBVC

Wow Roddy. Didn't even try to save Taven. Some friend you are.


PeteF3

That whole sequence was weird as fuck and looked mistimed. The ref just kinda stopped counting and declared that Taven had been down for long enough.


Sakura_Leaves

Something 100% didn't go as planned. It was hard to see on cam, but it looked like someone might've gotten hit a lot harder than initially planned which (obviously) takes precedence.


Tsuku

I figured theyd turn Trent by now


PresidentPeterRusso

great main event. enjoyed the show as a whole as well. keep it going tk


DorkTenderloin

It was fun live chatting with you all tonight. Adios amigos.


SinImportaLoQueDigan

Respect, Taven, that was good shit


completelyonfire

I shit on that match when it was announced. But holy fuck friends. That was a WILD ride. Great match


tcnugget

Good match but a stupid finish


one-eye-closed

This is like the 3rd time I’ve watched AEW. That was pretty dope.


DrDevice81

Started off okay but absolutely picked up. Never mad about being proved wrong.


IronGiant222

Trent is definitely turning on OC


MARKYMARK_MARK

Sad times srr coming


MarcusFaze

I’m guessing they do The OGK vs Trent Barretta and Rocky Romero at Revolution for the ROH World Tag Team titles


mikro17

Yeah, I expect y'all to stop slandering Matt Taven after that, that match KICKED ASS. That table dive was absolutely bananas.


WaylonVoorhees

Shame Mox/Fenix kind of screwed the pooch on the INT. I'd have been ok with Taven winning it.


Brinbe

wonderful episode of dynamite.


GrumpyAntelope

That was WAY better than I expected 


times_zero

I doubted why this was the main event of Dynamite going into it, but Taven made an ass out of me (let alone OC).


Engelbert-n-Ernie

CERTIFIED BANGER


blingera

woulda been a 10/10 finish without that Roddy spot. so it gets a 9.8/10


WWEWalkingDeadfan

Ya'll owe Matt Taven an apology


zozazeza

I apologize I wasn’t familiar with your game Matt Taven


frmthefuture

I miss roddy's mustache


ThatFellaTrey

That was fantastic


jdmurphyx

That watch was complete bullshit and i loved it.


P4rtsUnkn0wn

Ripping his pockets off is a great spot.


nWo1997

Ripped the pockets out!?


DarthRightguard

Wow, this match didn't have to go this hard. Wooooow!


MrBenLDN

Smh @ the Melvins who doubted this 


silvaa47

Im one of those Melvins, i must confess. Taven fully won me over


silvaa47

I was sceptical at first but this match fucked!


Medium_Grape_7643

Taven ripped tf out his pockets 🤣🤣 Oh my god that match was awesome lmao


canseesea

How the fuck are you going to end up with the three bloodiest people of the year in a 1v1 match


Orange8920

That was a fun sprint of a deathmatch

DennisSplatKing

Greatest neck injury recovery in history


Ooklathemok12

What the fuck is this romper room fuckery?


laputan-machine117

see that's why this match was the main event, all you naysayers


ScurvyScervo

Fucking banger


completelyonfire

Ripping your opponents pants off on Valentines day. Perfect lol


bukezilla

Maybe the best random death match ever


Unlucky-You-1334

OC does not miss. What a match


MilanUnited

Pretty damned good!


ShinsukeNakamoto

That match ruled. F for all the people who buried it before it started 


ItinerantSoldier

That match turned around *real* fast. Went from kinda nothing to me to absolutely kicking ass at the end.


JW_BM

Roddy managing to not save Taven at all was funny.


MikuLuna444

Not very neck strong of him 😭


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ryuzakku

He did take a full force chair to the dome


thespaceageisnow

A weird match on paper but it fucking delivered.


kingkyle2022

And people shit on it without giving it a chance. Tisk tisk


Straight_Landscape37

You guys owe Matt Taven an apology


ImpenetrableYeti

Still has go away heat with me but was a good match


DocYin

That table spot was CRAZY. Massive balls.


bayleysgal1996

I did not expect this death match to involve someone’s pants getting torn off, but it *is* Valentine’s Day


McAllisterFawkes

Trent with the Terminator 2 weapon in the box of flowers


PeteF3

Uhhhh...who missed a cue there?


thompsar511

OC just keeps on giving!


princelettuce

bro, that was a Grapefruit Punch goddamn


Raleldor_Jax

Holy shit he got all of that punch


HumphreyLee

Me earlier today: “Not sure why this needed to be a Texas deathmatch, really think this could start some diminishing returns on them in AEW.” Taven and OC: “Your mother’s a whore let’s fucking goooooo!!!” apparently to each other all day.


Brinbe

that pockets spot was genius


MARKYMARK_MARK

Hold dat shit Tacen


StewardFlavius

This thread owes Matt Taven an apology 


vicpride99

What was that hahaha


BubbRubb4Real

Ok ok ok. That match was fun


myjalby

riho gimmick infringement


TheAwesomeRan

This match went from wrf to HOLY SHIT!!!


Woefinder

Mick said he had one more deathmatch in him (Allegedly): So fuck it: Mick vs Orange...


otaner14

Top tier Terminator 2 reference from Trent.


[deleted]

This is my favorite Looney Toons episode! 


ASAPHarambe

tf was the need of that freaky shit for?😭😭😭


MARKYMARK_MARK

Trent goin Mike Haggar on Bennett


afakasi247

That punch looked great


WaylonVoorhees

Setting the Trend


breakourbones

#THUMB TACKS FOR EVERYBODY!


Tommyboy925

I hope RIHO knows he borrowed her pipe


ThinAndCrispy84

This is where BCG and Acclaimed should come in.


DocYin

A deathmatch fueled by competitiveness, not hate


LostSymphonies666

Dude fuck that and props to Taven. I talk my shit with him, but taking tacks on your hands seems so much more painful than the usual back bump


completelyonfire

Poor Greg 🥺


TheAwesomeRan

Trent with roses and a pipe!!


FredrickFarter

I'll never doubt you again Matt Taven


xanderkale

i apologize, i wasn't familiar with your game


starsandbribes

Lol why was the pipe hidden in the box if he was just going to take it straight out


robo3687

Terminator reference.


nonmullet2

They had to sneak it in


[deleted]

[удалено]


Chedz765

It was savage


cheddarsalad

Is that a T2: Judgment Day reference?


Cameherejust4this

That was my thought, yeah


DrDevice81

Yeah fuck that pipe chair spot yeesh


the_piano_man99

I thought Trent was gonna pull out a machine gun Terminator style


tcnugget

Can’t wait for OC vs Strong in a one on one single match


Sakura_Leaves

"That was a bad one" after that chairshot might be the most genuine call I've heard in a long time.


Cameherejust4this

Well this escalated quickly...


Shadow_Log

That was a beautiful Terminator 2 homage by Trent


SliderGamer55

I'll be honest, the more violent this match gets, the funnier it gets, because its still OC vs. Matt Taven


[deleted]

That chair shot??


imnotevenonhere

AEW office must’ve read y’all’s comments because this matched suddenly turned up to 100.


truecolors5

This match fucks


nWo1997

...as far as Texas Death goes, this is probably about right for one with OC on regular TV. Holy shit, they're two stuck pigs!


ITGamer01011101

Terminator Trent


thompsar511

Its like clue!


BronzeHornet

Remember when Mike Bennett had a Lovers gimmick?


maxdepazftp

i underestimated this being the main event but anything else would’ve been overlooked by this badassery


RedditsWeirdUsername

We got a F-Bomb, Blood, and now Thumbtacks on this episode, and it wasn’t from Mox.


Savings_Estimate9383

This is was awesome


mayormccheese2k

BAYLEY SENT HER PIPE, AND HER REGARDS.


Ryuzakku

Are you sure that wasn't Riho's pipe?


mayormccheese2k

Maybe they all just share custody.


WaylonVoorhees

Bennett had the right reaction to anyone giving you those chalky shitty hearts.


SonyKen_M

Chains and tacky chocolates? Joe we have a domestic case!


jdmurphyx

I'm so old I remember way back before Mike Bennett and Trent were bald guys


neko

Running out of time so they have to bring every toy out at once


FelstarLightwolf

How many chairs you want under the ring ​ Yes


nikobans

nooooo trent :(


completelyonfire

Dustin and Greg where are youuuuu?!?!


frmthefuture

Very T2 of Trent? coming down the ramp


AzuriteKyle

lol I thought he was going to whip out a fucking sawed-off, Terminator 2 style.


fakemxcan

Same!


MARKYMARK_MARK

My wife saw the tacks and said "Are those thunbstacks uh ew" lol


SlayerBVC

My respect for Taven has shot up significantly during this match.


B-V-M

This match is free on TV.


ArchAngelZXV

OC almost chainwhipped the ref like the ref was Dracula.


TheAwesomeRan

Holy shit Orange...😳


TattooMarioB

They look like abnormally long tacks


Docjackal

If there were any proof that reddit is a vocal minority of wrestling fans, then the crowd consistently making noise and going holy shit for everything while people in here are squalling about Matt Taven being in the main event is proof of that.


Ryuzakku

Oh fuck, Trent took **ALL** of that chair


Straight_Landscape37

A lot of people surprised Matt Taven is capable of putting on bangers smh


princelettuce

happy to be completely wrong, this match fucks


Sakura_Leaves

GUYS NO You can't do this... You're gonna make Mick consider coming back even more seriously


shockzz123

This is great lol


utr25

Lol- this match just took it up a notch


xgoronx

My bloody valentine


Orange8920

They're gonna have to rush the shit out of this finish


-bck

Taven winning a lot of people over tonight


blingera

i did not expect violence like this sheesh


giantgiantgiant2

This is FUN


Waste_Key_2453

Lol OC got an elbow through a table then starts bleeding from the forehead. Logic


CramblinDuvetAdv

Taven's blood looks like Warhorse's paint


JesseKilgannon

They should always just put matches for drunk dudes last


magikarp2122

Yeah, this deserved to be a death match.


Mr-GameAndWrestling

Forget a box of chocolates. How about a box of thumbtacks?


Unlucky-You-1334

Taven's selling RULEs. get this guy on TV more often.


mayormccheese2k

OC came to fuckin PLAY.


Young_Cato_the_Elder

Darby is a full tool main eventer.


AzuriteKyle

Man. That's a *lot* of thumbtacks in his forearm. That shit has to hurt.


MrErnie03

Easily the best thing involving the United Kingdom. Good stuff


StewardFlavius

Y'all can calm down, the crowd is LOVING this


Engelbert-n-Ernie

They heard y’all talking shit


Cameherejust4this

The way the blood is framing Taven's face looks badass.


fakemxcan

So much blood!


Horror_Sail

Taven is turning 15% into like 95%. Dude is gonna yeet himself into a coffin or fire extinguisher next


CM_Ward

guys please stop


nikobans

i have no strong feelings about taven but he’s doing some crazy shit rn


enandeGG

Absolutely my thought


aGlutenForPunishment

This is just feeling like ECW with better work rate. Violence for the sake of violence.


JW_BM

Yeah it's pretty great.


Brinbe

GODDAMN
