Jon Moxley vs Hangman Adam Page (Texas Death Match) [AEW Revolution 3/5/2023]
This match was what I was expecting and more. I’m one of the rare ones who isn’t tired of Moxley’s garbage matches and this fed the vampire in me. One thing I hate is when wrestlers build up a big blood feud blowoff like it’ll be the most violent spectacle ever and not even come close to it. This actually lived up to expectations. While it did get particularly excessive with the bricks as it didn’t really add to the ghastliness of this match but it doesn’t completely hurt the match either. In the story telling, Moxley really brought out the vicious animal in Adam Page and made him a dangerous threat at times even when he was being overwhelmed by Mox. I thought the ending with the chain was a fitting end to the match and brought back flashes of Terry Funk and Stan Hansen in their feud in All Japan.
While I’d have this lower then the Iron Man match, I’m seriously thinking of this being a contender for my list somewhere.
