Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood vs. Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus

[9.0] "Fantastic match, I was tremendously impressed by their ability to infuse the match with constant energy and flow with very little reliance on spots, it felt like all four guys just going at it all out at times but in a different way than you might expect, not flashy but extremely urgent action and that appeals to me tremendously."

[6.0] "Kind of an alright match. Luchasaurus is the hokiest part of the match, but the story was there in this cold match between Jungle Boy overcoming the odds of FTR. **3/4"

[7.0] "Very good match: FTR were amazing as usual here and Jungle Boy shined a lot. Luchasaurus had a great comeback and also delivered a good perfomance. The action was wsg good, especially in the last part with all those roll-ups. The ending was also very good because protected the babyfaces and it was a good win for the champions who were early in their title reign. 7/10 - 3.75*/5*"

[9.0] "Great start to a tag heavy show. Jurassic Express was improving by the match and FTR is one of the best in the world. Chemistry was good and the match was really good. Told a good story with FTR slowing the action down at times so it could build back up again. Good high level pro wrestling"

[8.0] "Really good tag team match to start the show between FTR and Jurassic Express here which was every bit as good as I thought it would be and I'm glad because I really had a lot of expectations for it although it never generated any buzz, I say that in the sense that it wasn't a classic or anything like that but it really was a more than solid match from start to finish and everything you want from an opener in a case like this. It's simply two teams who have mastered the codes of tag team wrestling better than anyone else giving us great tag team action like we love to see, everything makes sense and everything is perfectly executed. The pace is good, the content is fluid and everyone performs at a high level. What is told in the ring is consistent and I liked the way FTR won, it was in their gimmick at the time and it was well done. Nothing to say, very clean work all around."

[8.0] "A great opener here, that was made even better with a super hot crowd. JB looked really impressive coming out of this, and it was another star-making effort for him. FTR was awesome as usual as they fed off the JRE offenses so well, which added to the drama of Jungle Boy getting the shocking upset even more. [***3/4]"

[7.0] "Pretty good match. Considering that AEW has maybe the best tag team division in the world, it's easy to book a tag team match which is above average level. For this one, Jungle Boy showed his flexibility and Luchasaurus his power, FTR has great coordinate as usual. (***3/4)"

[6.0] "Good match, FTR just clinical and Jungle Boy able to show his pedigree. Interesting start of the match with the bucks."

[8.0] "This seemed like your run of the mill tag match with Jurassic Express relying too much on their spots and FTR seeming to take it out on them with some stiff shots, but then Jungle Boy and Dax Harwood suddenly became Ricky Steamboat and Randy Savage in the Silverdome with a seemingly endless array of roll-up near falls. And with there being so many roll-up finishes across all brands lately, I was getting into every single one of them. And considering the temperature and humidity that almost killed Adam Page and Kazarian in the next match, it was all the more impressive how hard Jungle Boy and Dax were working. In the end it would be a roll-up, albeit an assisted one that ended the match. I'm probably overrating this match as a whole, but I loved what Jungle Boy and Dax were doing when they were in the ring together. ****-****1/4"

[7.0] "This didn't click with me like I wanted it to, but I have to respect what the match was doing. Really good tag team work from both teams as Jungle Boy continues to look phenomenal on Dynamite. The finish was a little shaky with the interference right in front of the ref, but considering something similar happened at All Out with the same ref and FTR, I wouldn't be shocked if it was a work."

[8.0] "Great TV opener and the best traditional match on the show. FTR continue to excel at the little things, from selling to facial expressions to holding the match together. Jungle Boy got the major rub, essentially fighting 1 versus 2 in the last few minutes, but still almost pulling off the upset and only being defeated by the heel cheating to win. Luchasaurus was Luchasaurus for everything good and bad that entails."

[8.0] "Wild fun match. Jungle Boy is improving at a lightning pace and Luchasaurus is one of the best hot tags in the business. FTR never fails to impress with how strong their wrestling and storytelling fundamentals are. ****"

[7.0] "I cant tell if FTR are one of my favorite or least favorite teams going right now I hate them and when there in control of a match it becomes incredibly slow but that is there goal and it makes for some of the best comeback spots today. It helps that Luchasaurus has one of my favorite comebacks so those parts were always hot but the rest of the match was a pretty typical FTR grind. I did like/hate how they won at the end and would definitely be down for a rematch at one point."

[8.0] "Good match. Kazarian needs another run, that guy is awesome. Both Kazarian and Page have good chemistry"

[9.0] "This was great and to be honest, I actually hope A Boy and his Dinosaur ends up being the team to ultimately beat FTR. Really good stuff and Jungle Boy has been straight-up on fire with great matches this year."

[8.0] "Really fun opener. A clash of styles that worked really well and a very well done babyface vs heel match. FTR get the heat and Jungle Boy looks like a star. Luchasaurus continues to look like a monster as well. They're really giving Jungle Boy a lot to make him standout and it's working. Every match he takes a beating but pushes through. The ending few minutes with the roll-ups was really well done ****"

[8.0] "This was one of Jungle Express' best matches. Really well worked. Really good in-match storytelling. Based on the history of the situation it was just hard to see Jurassic Express picking up the W here. But it was damn well worked and believable that they could win or that it would go to a draw."

[8.0] "I thought this was pretty good and both of these teams seemed to work well together even with there different styles. Excluding maybe the Young Bucks, probably the two most popular teams in AEW right now against each other"

[9.0] "Way better than I expected, given that FTR doesn't work so well with spot-based teams. Nevertheless, this was great. Luchasaurus's hot tag is great, Jack Perry is a future star and the action was high level."

[7.0] "FTR with another steal against Jurassic Express. I always like Jungle Boy but was never really invested in him and always thought of him more like a mid card but man he was great here and stole the match. FTR with some great tag team dynamics and LuchaSaurus just wrecks everyone. ***3/4"
