All Out turned out to be a great PPV. The preshow wasn't as good as I expected it to be. The first three matches on the main card were incredible! All 3 wrestlers from Jungle Express are going to be stars! And the triple threat no holds barred match had a lot of creative spots. The next two matches were alright. Cody V Spears was fun. And the tag team ladder match was probably the craziest ladder match I've seen. The tag team division is going to be phenomenal! The world championship match was pretty good; IMO it was a bit better than Jerichos match against Omega at DoN. A lot of great wrestling that occurred today. Wasn't able to see Royal Quest or Takeover but I heard the main events were MOTYC's, so I can't wait to see those shows when I get the chance.

All out was pretty decent but why let a man win a woman’s battle royal?

Really good show. Matches were good. Promos were good. Angles were good. Kevin Smith segment was very not good. Had some pacing issues - a little too much down time between matches in the first hour, and they need to time commercial breaks during matches a little better (women's title seemed like the MOTN but so many of the near falls happened during the PiP without sound so it was hard to really judge). Wasn't too enthused with the debut of Jack Swagger, but I'll reserve judgment on that until I see how they use him. If he's just the heavy for Jericho's group and not pushed as a solo star it'll probably be fine.

Well color me red and call me a Nine Trey Blood member, I LOVED it!!! Women's match was insane. Yeah it would have been cool to have heard the commentary and crowd for those exciting spots during the commercial break, but atleast we got to see what was going on. Really cool that AEW was able to do that. I'm sure after that match everyone changed their thoughts about Nyla. She is a monster, and it's what the women's division needs to keep it exciting. And Riho became a motherfucking STAR! I was at the edge of my seat throughout the last 8 minutes of the match. Cody v Sammy was fun, and the Main Event was brilliant IMO. Nick Jackson should honestly do a singles run lol. The man is smooth at everything he does. Loved the camera shot when Jon made his surprise appearance. The whole segment with Omega was cool! And the surprise appearance of Swagger was noice. A great first showing from AEW. So stocked to hear good stuff about other promotions. I even heard a rumor about CM Punk doing a show with WWE. And King of Pro Wrestling has so many MOTYC's. Wrestling is crazy right now!
Can't wait to start seeing "Wednesday night war" MVs in the future.

I never pay attention to ratings, but last night was one that definitely had my interest. AEW did 1.4 million viewers to NXT's 891,000. No way to see that as anything other than a huge victory for AEW. They more than doubled industry projections, and beat the bigger company in the head-to-head. I want both brands to succeed - AEW gives wrestlers and viewers greater options within the industry, and NXT getting more popular could only have a positive effect on WWE's booking style - but I'm definitely excited to see the new guys start off in the winner's circle.

This weeks show had better matches! Young Bucks vs Private Party was excellent. Marq Quen's shooting star is a thing of beauty, not surprised since they were trained by Amazing Red. Havoc vs Darby, and the women's tag match was good. Hope they keep bringing Emi Sakura back. She's very entertaining to watch, and her "we will rock you" hype chant is fun. Moxley vs Spears was a great brawl. And the main event and the aftermath was awesome. Wouldn't mind seeing Page against Jack Hager at Full Gear

Kenny vs Janela was brutal! One of the best matches from AEW so far.

Every week just keeps getting better. It's cool that they're allowing everyone to shine. Riho is probably the most over in AEW. And it sucks that people are criticizing Marko Stunt. Did they not hear the crowd going crazy for him?! He's awesome! And I cannot wait for Omega vs Moxley. They've build their match really well.

Got tickets for tomorrow’s show in Pittsburgh. I’m really excited for it! I haven’t gone to a wrestling show in quite awhile (by choice), but I’ve been nothing but impressed and thoroughly entertained by AEW so far. I’ve waited 18 years for this and I have been ecstatic with the results.

Glad they went with the draw at the end. Would have looked bad if one of the two lost. It's definitely a feud that I would want to see in the future. That Jericho and Cody segment was 🔥. I died when I heard MJF shout to Jericho "What you got midlife crisis Chris". And Private Party keeps impressing me. The tournament final is gonna be awesome!

I’ve waited 18 years for this and I have been ecstatic with the results. During the Cody/Jericho brawl in the concession area I kept hoping you'd pop up in the background and make an ass of yourself in some fashion. Like maybe MJF bumps into you while you're buying a hot dog and you end up squirting mustard all over his nice suit. It would've made a great angle that much more special for me.

I was actually on the opposite side. I am visible a few times though in the reverse shot of Cody and crew coming up after Jericho.

I'm late to the party, but wanted to share my love & eat some crow. I'm happy to admit I was wrong about this being a flash in the pan. So far it looks like AEW is legit.
Absolutely loving the tag team division & the tournament they've got going on. I feel like it's gonna produce some of their bigger stars going forward.
I only have one complaint...
I get that he's the guy that made this all possible, but I still can't stand Cody. He's so mediocre. It's been 3 & a half years since he quit, but he still wrestles like a WWE mid-carder from a decade ago. I have zero interest in watching him book himself like HHH.

I get the Cody dislike - he’s certainly not as exciting as Omega, the Bucks, or even Hangman. But didn’t you like his match with Dustin at Double or Nothing? I really enjoyed it, and enjoy the fact that he carries himself like a star in appearance and promos.
