AEW All Out Live Discussion Thread: Sunday September 4th, 2023 Live on PPV

4 major shows in 5 weeks is wild tho lol

 

[Smart Marx]

I mean I obviously would love it too. But I do think they gotta save some shit for final battle too

Final is in 3 months so I think you can build something great for that in the time.

I actually think Chris is right and they’re just gonna swap the belt at Grand Slam, anyway.

Nuts.

While I’m negative specifically about All Out, I do love that AEW is running 4 straight monthly PPV.

I think it'll be a baller show anyways but yeah it feels like the B show. I do think if Punk vs Ricky was on this it be bigger. I dunno if ppl are injured either. Britt vs Shida for #1 contender at Grand Slam for example might be helpful.

That is kind of what happens when you run a lot of shows and some top ppl are injured. ya the roster is big but missing Danielson and Hayter, for example, is pretty huge right now (with Punk suspended). hell even JP being suspended sucks here, you could have had him on the PPV doing something too.

There is still collision so maybe they'll still tweak some stuff. Ricky still having a segment so I think whether Punk is allowed to come back or not, Ricky should get some sort of match. Maybe Hangman v Ricky would be cool (maybe a bit on the nose, but what other top babyface is available?)

I'd have prob done a different match as much as like the 4 v 4 though. I feel u could have done a big match like Hangman vs Jay or even Cole vs Jey but I get there's some rest needed too. I don't think Cole n mjf were supposed to even be on this ppv but they gotta cover for punk now

I actually don’t mind the 4-man as I’m gonna pop for it, but I do feel a Jay singles match with an elite member would have been vastly better.

I also think when Punk couldn’t be there, they absolutely should have pivoted and ran Cole/MJF back at All Out. The build is already there. Booking a rematch on Dynamite would have been easy.

 

[Comrade Khan]

also, just gonna say Edge's price probably just went up

If Edge shows up, my opinion immediately goes to a plus show lol

yeah I think they are banged up and its just too much to ask to do a rematch atm, I think the tag match will be quick (since I know the opponent already). I think it is already outrageous for them to wrestle 3 times on ppv in a week lol

don't think he's avail until late sept sadly. but man that would be a stroke of genius if pulled off

My only problem with the tag is they actually roped me in and got me interested in the tag with Kingdom and I wouldn’t have cared about the world title, but then they gave me redacted for Rampage spoiler instead and I’m deflated again.

yeah I think Kingdom will be at Final Battle, MJF is defending at Grand Slam so that would be the next logical defense. Unless they go nuts and do it at the live Rampage if they doing that again

Yeah, Final Battle might wind up being a dope show, but that’s my problem with All Out. It feels like a stepping stone for Grand Slam and Final Battle.

hard to disagree with parts of that, for sure

To me Takeshita Omega alone is worth it as is MOX/OC but yeah, not a whole lot of stakes in some of the lower card angles so I get it.

That being said, I also have faith in AEW and they'll somehow knock it out of the park, and hopefully have a few surprises up their sleeves to pop the fans.

I’m going to go to have a good time either way and I’m hoping they do have a surprise or two to pop me.

I get it though it's kind of like when I went to Toronto for the first Canadian show and they didn't have the elite or punk. show was great but i went in a bit bummed
