Personally, I think All Out was the best of the 3 from the last month. I felt Summerslam was rather meh, especially for a Big 4 and Payback wasn't a whole lot better even factoring for it only having a week of build.
All Out was probably the worst AEW PPV so far and I suspect it's getting a over-negative response because of what happened with Matt. Granted, they deserve to get torn up for it but I feel like it took over all the air from the event. Shida/Thunder Rosa was excellent, possibly the best women's match in AEW to date(I know, that's a low bar). Both of the standard tag matches were good if not great. The tag title match was probably a bit too long but whatever. They showed MJF is capable in the ring to go with his exceptional mic skills. And Jericho got dunked in an orange liquid again. |

Sure the Matt thing looked bad but the aftermath is worse because we haven't gotten a clear answer last I read. They had an easy out with a draw. Matt thinks he's 21 again and Sammy is a daredevil so it's a bad combination.
Matt Sydal = lame surprise. I would have laughed so much harder when he screwed up if I wasn't overcome with disappointment. I think of a lesser Dolph Ziggler when I see him. Pretty sure it's because they sound similar and the face sort of looks the same. The orange pond did nothing for me. You have something like that, you're basically just waiting for one of them to fall in and takes away from the match. That's why they tried to get out of it by adding pins and sub but it's obvious they're gonna use the pond. Tag title match was long, and while it wasn't totally boring, it didn't really peak. I can't remember if Shida/Rosa was any good. MJF has always been capable but should get new ring gear. Looks cheap. I actually didn't mind the dental office brawl. I'm not sure what classic fans were expecting from that one. Bucks v Express was easily best even though it just felt like an exhibition of moves. |

The official story is they stopped the match, Doc checked him, Doc cleared him, they restart but go straight to the finish. Not said is I think the match had the 'Must be a winner' so I think they felt a true finish was needed. Matt's promo from Wednesday has him going home to heal so it appears wiser heads prevailed eventually or they figured it was a bad idea to stay in the ire of Reby Hardy.
The easiest to point out problem comes from timing this stuff out. The time between calling off and restarting was a bit over 2 minutes, there's no way they did a good enough check of him in that time. I'm not even sure if Doc was there for all of it. Best case for Doc is he followed their protocol, it sucks and needs updating; worse is he allowed Matt to go climb a scaffold for 1 last move and they're lucky he didn't slip to more damage. |

Wow so Road Warrior Animal randomly passed away. He always seemed so active, rather shocking to see that.
The video on Impact of Heath rallying for a contract was bloody brilliant. It's also worth seeing for what happened to annoying balloon ass Katie Forbes. Why Rob Van Hair Dye is into that retard we'll never know but golly they are consistently the worst act on the show. |

I don't know I'm on the opposite end with the Heath thing. Yeah it was cool to see Celebs and talent wanting to succeed as well as his kids, but the goofy stuff is the same stuff he was doing in WWE. I thought he wanted to do something better and show WWE you dropped the ball with me? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder they say and I'm sure RVD needs his sight checked for sure as I look at Katie Forbes week to week. |

Yea it was goofy and cameo made it. I think Heath likes playing that character. I doubt they are that creatively devoid they'd stick him with his old gimmick.
AEW was good. I think they're trying to show that MJF is on the same level as Jericho. He's obviously next in line when Jericho decides to leave. Maybe they'll turn Jericho cos MJF manipulates his way to leadership of Inner Circle. I enjoyed the hard hitting main event. |

Was Omega tipsy when he did that promo segment or was he just that bad.
For a 30th ann show, I was expecting too much going in. They over hyped the collar match so they only got themselves to blame for that one and to have one of the biggest spots during an ad. Main event was a case of Jericho being too giving to his mate who isn't on that level at all. Last five minutes were the best part of the show. Might have been the least annoying clown ever, not sure he merited an elbow to the face, poor bastard. |

So many things from last night I could start a conversation on and yet I'm going with this video YouTube recommended this morning: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ipRN...ab_channel=WWE
MJF's Tough Enough video audition video. This is a teenager and he promos that good. |
