Simon gets 72000 Golden Ups for his enthusiasm and the stress relief he provides.

[srirams]

Sting and Darby vs FTR deserves a Golden Up just because of how well Sting managed to be at his best for 15 minutes.
PS : Sting is *62* Years old!!

The best part about that match? You know we're getting an even BETTER one in the future because it ended in a draw. No idea how they'll top that first 30 minutes, but they will

[WNK]

Their entrance alone was joyous. Once it "started" you could see the fun they were having with teasing the crowd, by taking a step towards each other, then stepping back to listen to the thunderous crowd.

[Harrowing]

Having the women’s title match as the main event was just the icing on the cake. Makes that title feel important and I swear AEW can do no wrong right now. Each show is just a treat to turn in to.

I flew to New York and got there at 5:30. Watched the show snd got back home in Chicago at 6am! It was tiring but so worth it! One of the best live events I have ever witnessed!

[vjqzbrl]

The Bryan-Omega match will be a classic for years to come and certainly lived up to the hype!

[beanernight]

Ever since Jake Haeger and Wardlow had the whole "why's he looking at me" exchange, I am always looking forward to either talking on the mic. The boys of the week line got me a good chuckle too.

[profesional]

TK knew had to set the tone going into NYC. Listening to 20K fans be loud, proud and passionate, the crowd deserves a golden up too.

[Kanas]

Danielson working on Kenny's Arms and even did a Cattle Mutilation

[thewizardofgore]

Even though I watched this live, somehow watching Simon talk about it makes me even more excited about how great it was than I was at the time.

[seanm]

I was there last night. The show blew my mind..
Absolutely no downs!

[The_Kiosk]

For me, most notable moment of the match was Kenny hitting the v trigger on BD outside the ring just as picture in picture began, and just as soon as the break was done, Kenny did that powerbomb onto the ropes and Bryan landed outside the ring... EXACTLY IN THE SAME SPOT AS WHEN THE BREAK BEGAN!!! The entire experience was transcendental.

[MHardcore]

Simon was made for this. There’s really no one like him. His whole persona is so unique & refreshing. Such a cool guy. You can’t help but laugh or smile each time.

[victorarroyo]

They had a classic 30 minute match that literally flew by and they left so much stuff on the table to do.
Give these two a 60 minutes iron man match.

[daniel]

All I could muster after watching the show last night, in the wise words of the great Ron Simmons DAMN

[TUFprofan]

My favorite part of last night was Danielson countering the One Winged Angel with a poisonrana. I dont know if too many other people have done that. It was beautiful. Great show! I agree with the golden Up. ☝

[JC-ilhh]

Simon Miller gets a golden up because he never fails to make me laugh and laughter is good medicine.Thank you, Simon! Thank you to Tony Khan (and anyone else responsible)for putting together AEW. The world needs good entertainment right now and AEW never fails to provide it. Going to watch that Danielson and Omega match again now!

[deadsiderwashere]

Simon himself deserves a golden up. His energy and positivity (and laughs) elevates all of professional wrestling like no other, he really is the best ambassador the biz could have.

[empower]

Congrats to Tony Khan and everyone in AEW for such a big success last night! 👏 👏 👏 epic classic opening match between two of the best wrestlers in the world set the pace for an awesome sold out Dynamite show!
