I'm willing to give AEW the benefit of the doubt when their two biggest cinematic matches this year, Stadium Stampede and the Parking Lot Brawl, were both complete home runs and genuine match of the year candidates.

Wouldn't call the Parking Lot Brawl a cinematic match at all. Unless I'm misremembering.

Stadium Stampede was a little bit. The main cinematic part being by far the worst part of it.

Echoing what everyone else has said but that was just a lovely, touching show from start to finish. Just a pure joyous celebration of the man's life and love he had for his family and the obvious love everybody had for him. Jericho was perfect on commentary at the start too, respectful but also giving the show some energy and making sure the commentary wasn't too sombre from the off.

Completely away from the Brodie tribute, as brilliant as it was hearing Schiavone shouting 'ITS STIIIIIING' when Sting returned, the catchphrase is starting to grate on me now. It's like when people liked Joey Styles shouting OH MY GOD the first time, then it was driven into the ground pretty quick.

I read on some NEWZ site this week that Khan loves the ITS STING call and wants Schiavone to say it everytime, so expect to hear it multiple times every week!

Sacrilege!

Spoiler] Stadium Stampede is without a doubt, one of the most exciting  match I've ever saw in my life. Keep it up AEW. : AEWOfficial

Although, having just watched the Parking Lot Brawl back, you're absolutely right. I don't know why, but I mainly remembered the daft moments like Orange Cassidy popping out of the car boot and Sue flipping the bird. I'd forgotten how brutal it was! I don't think Sting with a smashed up neck is going to be too keen to take bumps the way those four maniacs did.

Really wonderful show, absolutely flew by. Not a single thing to criticise (people will find a way somewhere out there mind)

Anyway, quick thoughts

*Every, I mean EVERY match on this show was incredibly fun and the small minor angles they ran absolutely flowed into the show and didn't feel weird or awkward. You'd think booking four six-man tag matches it would be much, but all the matches had a nice diversity and story.
*Talking heads bits giving their eulogies were all really hard to watch from their perspective, Kingston looked like he was internally screaming.
*All the videos played through the show were great and really touching, really lush to see his whole career covered from Indies to his AEW run and some shots of his WWE run to pop the nitpickers.
*LANCE HARPER!
*The Good, The Bad and The Hungee match was one of the most fun, feelgood and genuinely great wrestling TV matches and moments this year with the extenuating circumstances. MJF dicking about and then stooging for -1 was a blast. John Silver is so much fun he's in danger of losing that goodwill down the line because that's what fans generally do (also maybe just the dour period of the year making me think the worst of them). But WOW, god he's fun to watch. His volley of mad spots that had JR popping was amazing and the ending of the match was really great. The poor lad Silver was in absolute bits after the match, you could also hear Excalibur just giving up trying to call the finish as he just got way too choked up. Jericho was good tonight, covered and jumped in to steer the ship with Tony. JR is always off, but Danny Hodge passed too so I'll free pass him tonight.
*Porn director Jake Roberts hitting the short arm was great.
*ROWAN. Big man here popping in to save the day in a great touch and with that and Archer we got a little fun Dark Order meets the Wyatt's cosplay.
*The whole bit at the end was the closest I got to getting the big sads. It was just a really brilliantly done tribute.
*Brodie Jr. looked like he was having the absolute time of his life and quite honestly that's all I'm arsed about for the quality of this show.

Just seen that Tony Schiavone said on the post show that they’re getting a new TNT belt as the one they gave Brodie Jr is being retired. Brodie had said on Unrestricted I think that his son slept with that belt every night when he was home. So that’s why they gave him the real belt and not a replica at the end. So he could truly be TNT champion for life. 

Made it all the way through the tribute show without cracking but reading that set off the water works. 

A wonderful tribute. Truely classy and touching but at the same time somehow heartwarming and therapeutic.

It felt very genuine and not at all like a horrific grab for ratings. That being said I hope it did a huge number for them because I couldn't be more proud of how they handled that.

Just done watching it. What a blast from start to finish. Wonderful wrestling, wonderful tributes. Spent most of the time stuck somewhere between tears of sadness and joy. I thought I was doing OK until Eddie Kingston broke me. My little bro became a dad this year. Exactly the kind of show for a wild eyed kid to lap up. Everyone stepped up and gave -1 and everyone at home the time of their lives. Colt. Johnny Hungy running riot then breaking down. REDBEARD. Moxley speaking from the heart. MJF being a glorious dick and getting his just desserts. -1's FANTASTIC suit. Team Taz looking rock. Sting and Darby looking rocker. Everyone banging out their greatest hits and nailing every one. RIP Brodie Lee.

Only watched the clips of the show but it was enough to set me off, still wiping the odd tear now. Beautiful tribute to the man and his little dude looked like he was loving every minute of being in the spotlight which is all that should matter. Props to Cody and Tony Khan for their lovely gesture of letting Brodie have the proper TNT belt his dad had for life

Excellent use of storyline continuity through the tribute as well, with SCU stopping The Acclaimed from being dicks and Sting and Darby foiling Team Taz again

I think Anna Jay's still had less than 20 matches overall, she's obviously green as grass but there's more potential there than with a lot of the more experienced wrestlers and she has a great look, too. Last night was a pretty good showing for her.

But yeah, a great episode that had me genuinely tear up a couple of times. I can't remember seeing such a touching tribute show.
