I am always a fan of champions getting pinned in non-title matches but few do it as they claim it makes the champion look weak.

Frog Splash should have been three.

Is there a week when Moxley isn't busting himself open?

I think it is clear that Christian has the Eye of Tyr now <.<

Oh shit.  Garcia going for the pure title will be fun.

UGH!!! All Out's in Chicago, AGAIN!!

Why don't they just say that Chicago is the permanent host for All Out, like Vegas is for Double or Nothing?

God I love having Claudio back.

Damn Hager with a fire in him.

That was way better than I expected it. Got the old Swagger back for a match.

I was hoping Martinez would help Anna Jay win to fuck with Serena Deeb but at least Deeb got Anna Jay's best match BY FAR out of her.

Tag title match started promising but it's gotten sloppy now.

POWERHOUSE PARTY!!!!

Did not see that coming at all.

HOLY SHIT!!!

-Powerhouse Hobbs powerslamming motherfuckers into other motherfuckers was amazing
-Starks posing with the Young Bucks was cool as fuck
-The curse of Matt Jackson losing his shoe then losing the titles continues
-Keith Lee is a mad man
-I can't believe they won we finally got a surprise finish in a title match

That makes sense because the two brothers was throwing me off. I read it as I got some bad news from doctors but don't want to change this match for Swerve and Ricky's sake.

*Hobbs in shambles*

I don't think he knew Hobbs until AEW so recently. The other two he has known for a while.

That kid tried to make OC look bad. And I was going to say something about it being a 4 night event then I realize that they are counting Rampage.

Ugh I fell in AEW youtube trap. I going to watch Dynamite the night so I won't be spoiled in the morning. They went back to the Griff looks like Jungle Boy thing. Makes me want to see Brodie Lee and Dark Order segments about it. See AEW posted a video of the results of the main event with the new champions holding the titles. Well maybe they are just holding them nope the title of the video also confirms it.

I really hate that too. They can post shit on youtube without spoilers. Yet they choose to. I don’t get it.

Haven't seen Anna Jay in a real match in a long time. She has improved alot. Serena was excellent as usual. Mercedes coming out was weird since she was just a heel and hasn't really did anything to change that. Tay hasn't been in one match between all 4 of AEW shows since hooking up with Sammy.

Yeah they definitely could or if they want spoilers at least wait 24 hours. Made me not care to finish the episode last night.

Main event was really good. The spinebustering people on Keith Lee was a fun spot. I really think Team Taz deserved it more but it still was a good outcome.

Loved Wardlow vs Orange Cassidy. Both guys are master workers making that size difference work.

I'm getting increasingly disappointed by Anna Jay. She looks so awkward pretty much every moment she's in the ring, like she's lost and doesn't know what to do. Decent enough match, a nice showcase of Deeb's technical superiority.

Main event was incredible, and like everyone else I was shocked that Swerve in our Glory picked up the win.

I cannot believe Hobbs held Lee in the air during the spinebuster.  That was just unreal to see.  Can do a spinebuster with Lee doing the work, but he did not do all the work.

And Lee doing the flip out of the ring was insane.  That has to be a shit your pants moments seeing a 400 pound guy flying at you.

I also was rooting for Team Taz, as the whole break up of Swerve and Lee is a stupid angle.  Taz Team may be a throw together, but they can rise to the occasion as tag champs I think.  They got all the tools to be great.

Oranges trademarks looked ugly but Wardlow is still green and trying to figure out his style.  Can forgive it though for him not doing the monster match and making things very interesting by making sure Orange shined.

Would love to see him mix it up with PAC.

The worst part is that was her best match in AEW by far. But you're right. She's hit a peak talent-wise and can't seem to get over that hump to become a solid upper carder. And she can't speak for shit. All she has going for her is that she's hot as hell and the only girl in Dark Order. That ain't going to get her much further than it already has, which is unfortunate because she seems like a great person and deserves to be successful.

AEW may need an injury thread more then a release thread. Add Matt Jackson to the list of injuries.

Andrade is also hurt again. Not sure if it was common knowledge or not.

Hobbs is here stacking bodies. What a sick display of power.

This is where I wonder how AEW's training program works. Is there a formal one? Or, being a roster largely populated by experienced wrestlers, are you sorta more on your own unless you seek out someone willing to mentor you for free? (Since wrestlers can take their own bookings outside AEW, how much extra time can you really expect talent to put into your fed?)

Also hot take: it's time for Dark Order to wind down and disband. Totally understood why AEW had to keep it up right after Brodie's passing but now it's kept the members' momentum stuck. They can't move on, they can't vote in a new leader without fan backlash and it really is time for the faction to go.
