Rating: *****. Nothing that I could put in to words would do this match justice. Everyone knows who FTR are, and what they are capable of. Juice and Jay White, however, as a tag team, were there every single step of the way. Go out of your way, watch it, watch it twice, great finish, great crowd, great story. Just outstanding.

Winner and NEW Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Champion: Ricky Starks
Rating: ***1/4. This match started slow but picked up half way through. Starks winning is surely a surprise but the cheating at the end was a nice touch.
Jushin Thunder Liger is here to present the trophy to Starks! Starks rips the trophy out of Liger’s hands and runs to the back. Odd usage of Liger, but alright .
Final Thoughts: When you’ve got one 57 minute classic match in a two hour show, it’s thumbs way up. FTR and Bullet Club Gold… just go watch it now. Jay White is going to be a huge star for AEW. The other two tournament final matches were good and the crowd was on fire throughout. Great stuff tonight. 9/10.
