Comments

I’ve seen it and it’s fine but not great.

Steamed Ham Champion Dillon Haggett

I haven’t seen Valentine vs Piper yet but now that you’ve reminded me I’ll watch it. Piper pre WWF is sooo damn good in 1981 in Mid Atlantic it’s on Peacock he’s just going OFF in promos screaming probably coked to the gills 😂

John Coffey

Hence the “will you be my Valentine” that Punk said to MJF in that opening video. Check that out on Starrcade 83 on Peacock!

Big Ell

This was one hell of a match I recommend you watching mjf and Adam Cole vs ftr from a collision last yr if you can find it

Alexander

You gotta see the whole fued. Best one in AEW. There are some great videos on YouTube chronicling the whole thing, definitely check them out.

Trish Lang

Green shirt guy was there? This match automatically gets an extra star 😤

Ultra Gigas

Why’s is blurry?

Brenden Stranahan

Go watch the better than you by outside interference video it gives great context to this match

Ricky Shaffer

He did also get that really shite AEW tattoo on his leg.

The promo video referenced the most famous Dog Collar Match, Roddy Piper vs .Greg Valentine from I wanna say Starrcade 1983.

That was the first AEW match I’ve sver seen and the first MFJ match I’ve ever seen. Not impressed. It was decent, even good, but nothing special. I don’t understand why this was the first match to get 100 votes.

There are similar types of matches that modern WWE is more likely to use (strap matches or bullrope matches), but they are usually connected at the arm/wrist rather than the neck. Still a relatively rare match type for many of the reasons you mentioned, but they happen from time to time.

Adam Nelson

Pepsi Phil has a large Pepsi tattoo on his shoulder

Daniel Carpio

I know you said you weren't too interested in seeing more dog collar matches but FTR vs the Briscoe brothers in the double dog collar match is must watch your mind would be blown (in the good way)

Furious George

The dog collar match would do so much for the blow off match of Drew vs CM Punk down the line

I appreciate it. I promise I greatly enjoy myself doing these. No burnout here for a while lol

Dport

Appreciate the videos as always! Make sure to take care of yourself so you don't get burnt out.

Jeremy Brooks

We're just happy to be here man, don't burn yourself out

Pepsi Plunge was from before WWE, it was his finishing move on the independents which was a Pedigree off the top rope. When he went to WWE he had to change it 1) Because WWE thought it was too dangerous 2) Can't be taking HHH's finisher.

Zach Faulkner

He's straight edge he doesn't have many options

Charlie

A story that I heard before but don't know if it's actually true is that in college him and his friends were getting tattoos and his friends got beer logos but since Punk is straight edge and doesn't drink he decided to get a Pepsi logo lol

Brian

Happens every match with thumbtacks lol love it either way

Dport

Thanks for the clarification lol I was curious about the ring

Dport

Much easier for wwe matches. Not so much on other promotions. And I'm not looking to click a bunch of links I'm not familiar with lol

Dport

Does he just like Pepsi then? Lol ik I've seen the Pepsi logo tattoo

Dport

Pepsi Plunge isn't a sponsor it's just a move CM Punk used back in the day before he went to WWE.

Brian

Another dog collar match in AEW was Cody Rhodes vs Brodie Lee on dynamite. Unfortunately this was final match for Brodie rip 🙏🙏

Phillyman!!

I understand the difficulty of acquiring the full matches but the entrances for this match were really important/awesome

Mahmood Al Mardi

The Dynamite Diamond Ring is a sort of championship ring MJF originally won in a Battle Royal in 2019. Every year they hold another battle royal and the winner gets to face MJF for the ring, but he's defended it every year. He uses the ring as a weapon so often that it's basically become his finisher, similar to Logan Paul and the brass knucks. Wardlow was MJF's hired bodyguard at the time, and his kayfabe AEW contract meant that pretty much all of his earnings went to Max, and their storyline was essentially what Gable and Otis is now, with Max constantly pushing him around, calling him a loser when all his losses were essentially Max's fault anyway, and always asking him to bring the ring out. During the Punk feud especially Max would berate Wardlow because Punk and Wardlow had a match that Wardlow would have easily won, (he hit Punk with like 6 powerbombs in a row) but Max kept telling him to hit him again, until Punk rolled him up. Him turning on him here then led to a Wardlow v MJF feud that *should* have positioned Wardlow as one of the top faces in the company, but they somehow managed to screw it up.

I believe paul turner (the ref) actually did get a thumbtack in his hand on that count, ouch. he wasnt selling!

The dog collar match was used in the WWF but also in the territories as a match in an angle. Some examples in Mid South in 1983 JYD and Butch Reed had one and in the same year at NWA Starrcade Roddy Piper had one vs Greg Valentine. This was when MJF was at his full heel self no one better at that in AEW. He was heel up until summer of 2023 and that kind of made me disinterested when he turned babyface. Hopefully this new run he's got a plan to get all of those fans who really liked him 2 years ago back. He's come out and done a few things and whilst he's entertaining as hell Im still a bit wary. I don't know next week if he's gonna start crying into someone shoulder about his anxiety and how he will die for AEW in the ring. We've had too much of that already people are sick of that kind of thing.

John Coffey

To answer a couple questions the ring announcer Justin Roberts did work for wwe from 2002 - 2014. He's been with AEW since they started in 2019. To my knowledge WWE has never done a dog collar match but it's not a match type AEW invented either. I don't know when the first dog collar watch was but they have been done by many promotions going all the way back to at least the 80's as a way to settle the most heated of feuds.

If you want the full story for the whole rivalry, this video does a great job at recapping it https://youtu.be/7CbZQpmacJI?si=Ay17M0NJuoeimzxj
