WWE veteran lavishes praise on a recent match in AEW [Exclusive]
Dutch Mantell had high words of praise when he recently reviewed an eight-man tag team match that went down on AEW Rampage this week.
During the opening bout, Best Friends defeated the Superkliq and Bobby Fish in what turned out to be nothing short of an action-packed contest. Both teams left no stone unturned in laying their entire arsenal on display.
However, Trent emerged as the star of the night as he pinned Fish to pick up a victory for his team. Regardless of the result, the overall payoff for the match was that it received critical acclaim.
While speaking on the latest edition of Smack Talk, Dutch Mantell applauded all the men for implementing hellacious moves and sequenced them correctly throughout the match. The wrestling manager even heaped praise on Orange Cassidy for doing a top rope spot to mock The Young Bucks:
"Good match. Good match. I like Cassidy walking the top rope and doing the mock of the Young Bucks, and that was good. And they did some hellacious moves in this, and it was kind of sequenced correctly too, and it didn't seem to be too much of speed fest, calmed it down a little bit. So I mean, it's wrestling, so you just, gotta judge it on what to do, and I kind of liked the first match. It was good and good finish too," Dutch Mantell said.

Though Cassidy and Best Friends celebrated that night, the feud between the two factions is far from over. Cole and his men will be eyeing vengeance after suffering humiliation.
On the flip side, Trent had a night to remember after he outperformed in his first match back since April of this year. Given the momentum he picked up, it will be interesting to see what AEW has in store for him moving forward.
