Adam Cole being the 4th best wrestler to make his surprise appearance on the show tonight sure is something. But props to him anyway.

I'd have to think it over and rewatch some of the other classics but my immediate reaction is this was a top 5 show of all time. And probably the one I've enjoyed watching the most in the moment.

I'm smiling from ear to ear right now what a fucking crowd pleaser, perfect perfect booking. Cole was AWESOME and then of course as expected Danielson. I had kind of expected Flight of the Valkaries because Final Countdown is a lot more expensive. The mix they did for Valkaries was awesome. Danielson looked so fresh and Cole looked like a major star. Just an incredible moment for wrestling.
The main event was great but obviously suffered from some crowd burn out so it came off like a Jay White match but at the same time the actual action was fantastic so it just was what it was. Overall one of the best PPV's I can remember with so many great matches and moments, I would say well worth my $50. I had a few skips on Fite but only for a second nothing major and will likely continue using them for my AEW PPV's. The whole scene just changed with Cole and Danielson arriving and of course not to mention CM Punk, Mox on a rage, the women's division turned up to a much higher level and new babyface tag champs that will bring a ton of fresh matches to that division. Just great! |

This year's All Out show is easily in the Top 5 tier for best ever AEW PPVs.
Just in terms of surprise debuts, there was Suzuki, Ruby, Adam Cole, & Bryan Danielson to go with The Butcher's nice return back from injury. Then you had all of the matches that outside of the Marshall vs. Wight squash match were all very entertaining at worst. |

AEW now has the 2 most organically over superstars of the last 20 years years on their roster. The PPV was incredible from top to bottom. I’ve been as big of a critic of AEW as anyone, but tonight was a home run.

This is all very exciting for the future of aew, but this was done in the most boneheaded way imaginable. Fans barely had time to process adam cole before Bryan came out. This is literally how I booked my wrestling figures when I was a child.

My only gripe, and it's not a big deal all things consider, is the terribleness of Danielson's theme.
And yet, I imagine he has some creative input into it and for whatever reason I could see Bryan actually thinking it would be hilarious to use a super generic rap theme you'd see as an extra song for CAWs in the video games. |

Vince's ban on Twitch and third party stuff might be the dumbest thing he's done in years since it cost him someone that Triple H had been grooming for years to be a big star for WWE and one of his most prized free agent signings ever. |

Hangman Page wasn't even on this show and he probably ends the year as AEW World Champion.
The roster is wild. |

Having The Elite with Kenny, The Bucks, The Good Brothers and Cole in the ring was pretty insane and then they top it off with Danielson, Cage and Jurassic Express in a showdown, what a f'n moment! So cool. Danielson was ON FIRE with his flurry too. So cool. That AEW chant at the end was one of the purest crowd chants ever.
Also I liked that Danielson wasn't playing the Yes Man gimmick up, maybe he will eventually but if he doesn't I think it's a good move. And CM Punk man, he looked like a fucking movie star tonight. I feel like he's the coolest guy, he has cool hair, cool grey scuff, cool tatoos, he looked huge (for Punk)... Just awesome. Mox also man, his promo's have been UNFILTERED lately and he looks MASSIVE. I am really digging how the guys in AEW aren't trying to have a body like EC3 they just look natural and bad ass as fuck. |

Cole vs. Danielson could realistically be on tap for a double AEW in-ring debut at Grand Slam. omg

Certainly whatever little bit of extra money Vince could squeeze out of controlling that isn't worth the embarrassment of having a guy turn down a multi million dollar contract and signing with the competition. |

I know we were all looking forward to hearing The Final Countdown. But Valkaries is free to the domain and it's a lot more identifiable to the WWE fans than Countdown. Plus the remix they did was pretty sick and made Danielson look fresh as fuck. I disagree with the hate for that song or any hate for this show other than Big Show. QT was great but damn, it's sad to see Big Show out there like that. He just didn't look good in any way to put it simply.
I know all yall Big Show fans out there saying "he stole the show", "he was the one the people came to see", "we love Paul Wight", "I think Paul Wight has strong legs" etc... But come on. It was SAD. He's in a large amount of debt due to never fulfilling his boxing contract from years ago and he has had to put himself in this position to get rich again. I could see the disappointment in his face after the match too, like he knew that nobody cared. It sucked all around. He's such an emotional guy. |

I cannot fucking wait to be at Arthur Ashe to watch this company in person. There are like a thousand matches I can think of for Grand Slam, no idea how I can condense it into 2 hours!

Punk said one match he wanted was him and Danielson against The Young Bucks. If Punk joins the babyface alliance with Cage, Danielson and Jurassic Express oh man what an exciting match that would be for Grand Slam. Nothing like a main event Buck's match and then throw in Punk and Danielson and I will wrestlecum all over my section.

This show was like a reset for AEW and in such an amazing way, and without HANGMAN PAGE. Whoa. I missed him in the main event not gonna lie.
