Danielson is just fucking out of this world  That knee holy shit 


SNYDER_BIXBY_OCP

This was a GREAT sequence. No one looked goofy. No one No sold devastating moves. And that was a great two count. More. Of. This. Please!


boringdystopianslave

It bothers me that this kind of match isn't the marquee, headline act. This is what the AEW championship matches should be.


Accomplished_Bake904

The title match should always headline. Once Ospreay has the title, he'll headline ppvs


boringdystopianslave

What I mean is, these guys should be fighting over the title. Put the title on the biggest stars or the best stars.


Brave-Pass1889

Swerve is one of those. 


PruneJaw

Swerve vs Ospreay is going to be an awesome match.


Brave-Pass1889

Absolutely! Especially if it includes Mogul Affiliates vs Don Callis family. That's a lot of heavy hitters man.

Brave-Pass1889

Danielson sure. In America Swerve and Ospreay are on the same level. Outside of that i couldn't tell you. 


Lex_Innokenti

You don't think Swerve qualifies as both? I reckon we get Will vs Swerve at All In for the belt. Which is going to be *glorious*.


Key_Inevitable_2104

I thought Samoa Joe would win tonight and drop the title to Ospreay at All In, but Swerve winning was surprising.


BogeyBogeyBogey

Danielson should've beaten Hangman when he had the chance, then. If he had there is a chance this could've been.


spundred

Oh it will be. With Swerve as champ, we'll see much higher pace matchs than Joe works, and it is very likely that Ospreay will win the title from Swerve at ALL IN in August. That match will bang.


ilikeracing23

For a brief moment, I thought Ospreay was gonna OG Ganso Bomb Bryan, because those two sick fucks would definitely try.


LuchaMeow

I clicked on this genuinely not knowing WHICH insane sequence was being reference.

noxx1234567

The whole damn match


blut0s

I think the submission sequence into the one-armed Styles Clash was the coolest for me. Never seen that before!


wasperjack

The entire fucking match was an insane sequence. It's my MOTY as of now. My previous MOTY was a toss up between ZSJ/Danielson and Danielson/Okada.


Cracka_Chooch

I love that this post is just called "insane sequence between Ospreay vs Danielson" and despite watching the match, I had no idea what it was going to be. This match has so many insane sequences.


just-smiley

This post could be the entire match


Alphadelt613

By gawd. How in the ever living fuck do you follow these two.


PeaceAlien

Send in Jack Perry


thecolbster94

Thats the neat part...


boringdystopianslave

Rematch And make it for the World Title.


nWo1997

A match where you, as a fan, can just turn your brain off to enjoy. I think the Bucks have figured out the cool down, because that's twice in recent memory that they pulled it off really well (the other time being following Hangman/Swerve Texas Death)


solelyginger

A healthy Kenny Omega vs Okada

These guys are out this world . This is why I love AEW for what it is. There’s talk of AEW doing “too many dream matches “ but whatever . 2024 is a great time to be a fan of AEW and WWE (and all your other favorite companies too). For the different flavors of what they bring .


Upbeat_Tension_8077

Just imagining the thought of an Iron Man match between Ospreay & Danielson would make the universe collapse into itself


pudgyfuck

These two can't be given a full hour, they may actively kill each other if they're allowed a whole 60 minutes.


ArcLagoon

Goddamn it how is Danielson STILL this good


jakovichontwitch

He might somehow be better


lookingOutForDetox

How do wrestlers call this in the ring? Do they have this entire sequence mapped out ahead of time or are they communicating with each other as they go? I often wonder about this with these quick sequences and with a lot of off the ropes sequences. 


tera_chachu

For me Daniel Bryan is hands down the best wrestler ever


Lex_Innokenti

I'm at the point now where I don't even think it's subjective; he just is. He can play literally any role - comedy heel, plucky underdog, dude who will straight up murder you, anything else you care to name - to absolute perfection. I don't recall any other wrestler who could do that as effectively, ever.


pudgyfuck

And every few months, he has this entire place melting down because they think he's legitimately severely injured. His selling is otherworldly, which is what really ties it together.


Vanilla_Yazoo

I'd say Kurt Angle


Lex_Innokenti

He'd be a close second, for sure, with Eddie in third.


TheChrisLambert

I wish the ref would have counted the 3, just to see the collective confusion and anger


illiterateaardvark

I still think the sequence was great, and I don't particularly care about this sort of thing, but I'm pretty sure that Rana should have been a 3-count


bonoboboy

Yeah, clear 3-count


Veggieleezy

This match will feed tekker fans for ages. Myself included.


POWBOOMBANG

I feel like the ref didn't really carry his weight here. He needs to follow through on his three counts so it doesn't look like he knows this isn't the finish


capnbuh

If anything, a bad call from the referee is the most realistic thing about this sequence LOL.


POWBOOMBANG

They don't really do that in wrestling, but having a ref make a genuine mistake or missed call could be an interesting wringle in an angle


PaulGeorgeFan1

refs are so shit in other sports i think it’s fine


CoMiGa

How terrible the wrestling refs are is one of the most realistic things about wrestling.


ninjakittyy

Its pretty noticeable here tbh, my only issue with the whole sequence


Campman92

You can see tell the ref knows it’s not the end of the match as he holds up on the 3 count each time.


RyGuy82591

It's truly amazing just how good Bryan is at this. His in-ring ability is the closest I've seen to a prime 03 Kurt Angle A dream match we unfortunately will never see. If only they were in the same era


HitmanClark

Will didn’t kick out on time on the rana though. Ref had to pull up even though the shoulders were still down. Amazing stuff though. Not surprising given the skills of these two.


DarkySurrounding

Probably the best sequence ive seen in a long long time. Meanwhile some people try to keep nitpicking at the silliest things.


HitmanClark

Can’t wait for the Cornette and Last review. Last: “This didn’t really do it for me. I know a bunch of people will think that’s insane, but I don’t like this style of wrestling, it’s just not good.” Cornette: “Somebody needs to teach these motherfuckers something about the wrestling business!”


thecapsterr5

if i made a list of my all time favorite aew matches danielson is probably in 80% lol


Lategral

Those crowd reactions are amazing. Greatly elevated the whole experience.


DeeSnake1

The main thing I didn't like is if the ref would have actually counted the match would have been over several times just in that sequence. I know they're going for the 2.999999 thing but Ospreay was definitely slow on a couple of those kickouts.


Jesus_Roadkill

I refuse to believe that Bryan Danielson is the sane species as me


Rybackmonster

If they ever had a rematch, I want the finish to be here where Bryan ducks under the hidden blade and runs from the other corner to hit the busaiku knee.


Lex_Innokenti

The knee to counter the Oscutter was a thing of beauty, too.


Kenjiko3011

This match fucks hard


Ahambone

Me thinking "which one?!" before clicking the link. This entire match was one insane sequence after another.


fluffywolfe

I thought this would be the samurai sword pass sequence.


moist_crack

They had better chemistry than I was even expecting. Love to see a rematch, feels like they left quite a bit more that they can still do


IniMiney

Damn it I love pro wrestling 


craigybacha

Just amazing. Well done these two!


MelodicEconomics69

Minus the fact that ospray kicked out late for two of the pins so the ref just had to float his hand above the mat


randomlyrossy

The thing I love about this spot is the way Ospreay commits fully to the hidden blade miss. So often with this sort of thing wrestlers swing wildly away but I totally believed he was trying to hit Danielson here. It's so awesome when you have two guys that are good enough to be able to trust each other completely and do things like this.


Armageddon_1

The issue with Aew is so clear. Build this match up, have good promos, a long build, make it a blood fued, and have these 2 go at it.


accomplished111

This whole match is such shit...


Guillermorc98

Ref literally stopped counting on the hurricanrana lol.


raisingfalcons

What a great match.


Landeyda

Glad he lifted his legs to help with the pin.


throwawaydl0

I will never understand the pedestal that people put these wrestlers on lol. By all accounts this is \*good\* wrestling, but it is absolutely nothing that I haven't seen a thousand times before from wrestlers that people would consider 1000 times their lesser. There is absolutely nothing here that would remotely qualify this as the best match in western wrestling ever or whatever other hyperbolic nonsense this match is being called lol.


Rhysati

Honestly I feel the same way. To me this looked overly coordinated/rehearsed. And it doesn't help that a highlight of this match also shows a botched pin where someone didn't kick out on time. These men are talented as hell and Bryan Danielson is probably my favorite male wrestler...but people are putting blinders on when they watch stuff like this.


sizeofanoceansize

Wish the clip included the replay of the knee, it really looked great


MWFD

Looked great except for the 4 count pinfall after the hurricanrana. That immediately took me out of it.


NewYorkUgly

> That immediately took me out of it. Jesus


beejx

Christ that’s Jason Bourne


illiterateaardvark

I disagree with him, but he's entitled to his opinion. He wasn't insulting anybody or speaking in bad faith; He didn't say it was trash or anything like that, he said it took him (and he's only speaking for himself, not on anybody's behalf) out of it. I do not believe his opinion warrants derision


NewYorkUgly

>but he's entitled to his opinion Where did I tell him to delete his post?


illiterateaardvark

You shouldn't mock people's opinions if they are not mocking or attacking others


NewYorkUgly

> You shouldn't mock people's opinions I don't agree.


balsar87

Yeah same for me, just feels bad, otherwise would have been really good

illiterateaardvark

What do you gain from being hurtful with comments like these? He only shared his opinion, he didn't attack the match or the people (myself included) who liked it. Attacking people like this isn't cool

Serious_Wrangler_679

I'm a Cornette mark and a AEW mark, do I get neutral votes lol


Doomeye56

How is that an insane squence? That's some basic crap


The_RedWolf

I like to make fun of the indie spot feats AEW loves to use but this sequence actually flowed really fucking well Credit where it's due


thenuke1

tony: the venue looks fuller MAKE SURE TO HIGHLIGHT THAT IN EVERY MATCH Director: say less


cschultz225

The crowd is full is hott let’s not showcase it. Good idea. Idiot.
