I remember when Abaddon first faced Shida during Shida's first reign as champion. Shida sold the gimmick so well, she was screaming in terror but still managed to swallow her fear and win the match.

What surprises me is that Abaddon is still going. Doesn't seem like a gimmick with a lot of longevity.

Thought that was of the contract that was going to silently disappear. The period were Shida could get a good match out of anyone.

Rampage was pretty good last night, with a great main event, and a good three-way lucha opening, plus you can't go wrong with Bullet Club Gold or Skye Blue getting air time either.

The triple-threat match was wild.

Emi Sakura is such a treat to watch.

Wheeler Yuta defeated Katsuyori Shibata to become the new ROH Pure Champion following a low blow, a DDT and the Seatbelt rollup. Shibata refused to shake hands after the bell, leading Yuta to hit a second low blow and DDT.

BOOOO!!

BOOOO!!

Rumour doing the rounds that Shibata had VISA issues so they had to rush this.

It's strange that basically every big ROH match takes place outside of ROH.

That’s probably my biggest gripe with AEW right now. They want ROH to stand on its own so badly but they keep doing this.

Brian Danielson vs Daniel Garcia was a brilliant match, my favourite of the Continental Classic so far. It makes me think what an awesome fit Daniel Garcia would have been for the BCC. It's not too late, AEW. Make it happen.

It also made me think: Danielson hasn't won a championship in AEW has he?

Believe he asked not to it was said a while back, as he wanted to give other guys their shot at the top.  Given the NJPW title is linked to this I can see him winning this though as it gives him reason to work in Japan more, and to mix it up in RoH.

Rampage was taped after Dynamite last night and everyone is raving about the main event. Apparently it is phenomenal. Lots of action, crowd was red hot, several AEW wrestlers have tweeted about it since.

Action Andretti & Top Flight vs Vikingo, Kommander & Penta El Zero Miedo

Sounds exactly like the type of match I don't want to watch.

Fuck yeah, they're running this one back. I absolutely enjoyed the match at Final Battle, can't wait to watch them throw down again.

Also, I just want to say, I love that Rampage seems to be the home to great lucha action in AEW.

I caught a bit of Darby Allan vs Jeff Hardy, these people cannot get paid enough for what they put their bodies through.

Darby vs Jeff was such a fun car crash match.

Private Party & Top Flight had another fun match. I enjoy their matches.

Good news Baker! The greatest match of all time will take place on Rampage tomorrow!

12 MAN TAG TEAM MATCH

The Bang Bang Scissor Gang
(Jay White, The Gunns, The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn)

versus

The Dark Order (Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds & John Silver)
& JEFF JARRETT, Jay Lethal & Satnam Singh

Word on the street is that Kassidy vs Fenix & Penta vs Takeshita are both bangers tonight and worth watching Rampage for.

Hoping for more of this. Keep Dynamite and Collision more story-driven and just throw bangers on Rampage to grab the hardcore audience. I hate when you check the card and it's just an episode of AEW Dark where a name is beating a jobber.

In theory Mina should be number one contender.

Mina Shirakawa defeats Serena Deeb (13:18)
Toni Storm (c) defeats Serena Deeb (15:38)

MXM vs Top Flight is pretty fun. I dug Dante & Darius's upgrade in presentation.

My favorite part of the feud had to be MxM insulting their outfits and color choice, while dressed in similar colors. I do like them leaning into the flight gimmick. Massive upgrade to their look.  MxM adjusted to AEW super, super fast.

I would love it if Statlander stayed as a tweener. The promos from Collision & on Rampage last night seem to suggest that this is the case.
