CM Punk vs. Eddie Kingston, from AEW Full Gear 2021

Written By John Downey

I had to get myself a cup of coffee (no milk) to get myself up after the first two hours, and I swear this match did a better job of waking me up than the joe did. The actions taken by these characters are perfectly reflective of their emotional states, meaning the crowd has something to latch on to besides being happy Punk has blessed them with his presence; paraphrasing Vince, they were making movies. This is the first match of the match I wish got MORE time, but what was here was damn excellent and I want a rematch.
