TEXAS DEATH MATCH! AEW International Champ Orange Cassidy vs UK’s Matt Taven! | 2/14/24 AEW Dynamite

[@brandong2972]

Matt Taven is so underrated. Former ROH World Champion. Glad he got this opportunity to show how great he is.

[@N3gativeR3FLUX]

Agreed. His poor ribs on that table though, oof. Had to have hurt.

[@daviddwyer4376]

He’s great at working the crowd

[@okaydone4227]

Yeah he is not bad at all

[@kennymccormick9292]

He is... MATT TAVEN!

[@gravysauce]

the phenomenal one, matt taven

A true St. Valentine's Day Massacre with a Box of Chocolate.......Tacks!!!! Thank you AEW! Please give Texas a PPV!!! They have more than earned it!!!

[@sadbucket233]

OC makes the international championship such a high value title. i love he is constantly defending it, makes it a workhorse title. its been 129 days he has been champ, doesnt feel like its been too long, also builds up the person who will eventually beat him.

[@AWWEFAN99]

OC is to the international title as gunther is to the intercontinental title

Feels like the guy has been champion for years 😅 WTF?! Can we please have Takeshita or Wardlow beat him for that belt already. Somebody with actual championship potential. Cassidy weighs 130 lbs and is a comedy guy who is constantly put over as if he was some indestructible monster like Kane or Undertaker.

Matt Taven was given a main event opportunity and he fully acknowledged it. What an incredible match.

[@DreadServant]

he was amazing!

[@NewNormalWorldOrder]

An “incredible match”? Nope. This stuff is objective garbage. Why are they having a “DEATH MATCH”? Lol you’d think these two would have been feuding for 6 months if they’re in a “death match”… nope, it’s just random nonsense thrown together by Tony Conman.

[@DreadServant]

@@NewNormalWorldOrder Opinions.

[@NewNormalWorldOrder]

@@DreadServant Actually, no. Some of this IS objective. Such as having a “death match” for NO REASON… was this a long blood feud that requires a “death match”? No… So it OBJECTIVELY, automatically, makes no sense on the face of it.

this match signifies that AEW is truly back. Matt taven deserves a singles run, he is underrated as a singles wrestler. I know he is a former ROH TV champion and World Champion.

A match that when announced was a "huh, okay then" turned into a legit match of the year candidate. Excellent job everyone involved, especially Matt Taven who really wanted to showcase himself.

[@SplitGoose]

That wasn't the problem. The problem was that the storyline reason for this match was illogical. Everyone knew it would be an AEWbanger TM 🤦‍♂️ But it's not exciting. It's just spots and lame

[@Sem-ifinalist]

I thought the story context made sense? Cassidy having a blood match with a Undisputed Kingdom member after best friends get attacked by them one by one. Only story complaint is that Danhausen and Statlander haven't been targeted yet to really build up Cassidy as alone before Trent came back.
