All Access party starts now.

So far it feels forced and not great. Not sure what all the hype was about.

When was this taped because wasn't Saraya not there yet.

I hate this. I want Thunder Rosa's side of this.

She may be more dislike then Punk on the women's side.

But why? Because she fucked up her back and wanted time off? Because Britt didn't like her and she felt targeted?

Not saying it is right. But no one in the division seems on her side.

Sammy may not be a world champion yet but AEW gave him Tay so he is winning at life.

According to wreddit Thunder Rosa will be in next week's episode.

I mean she has to join the Outcasts since there are only two stories in the division. Jade's story and everyone else story.

I'm bored.

I tapped 5 minutes ago.

I enjoyed All Access for what it was. Sure it's stuck in the middle of trying to be a WWE 24 type doco and a Total Divas show, but even that look backstage is all I need. Plus, if the show is being used to help sell Cole as a babyface, I think it works as promotional material.

Obviously with shows like this you can't take everything on face value. Everything is played up in front of the camera, but I'd like to think with these shows where there's smoke there's fire and the Thunder Rosa drama was the biggest stand-out of the show. Has Thunder even worked a match since she suffered an injury? I think it's really unfair the women held the interim thing against her when that was TK's call.

I have mixed emotions on using the Bucks on this. On one hand, it's interesting to have this documented, but if they have to tip-toe around the story it doesn't make for great television. We're returning after an event we can't talk about and we're worried about how we'll be perceived by the locker room, but we can't talk about it.

The funniest moment of the series was the introduction, where TK blew his own horn to put over his leadership.

Your leadership and lackthereof has hurt the perception of your company! It was far more over when you were the money guy and it was presumed the boys booked the shows.

I put a little blame on Thunder but not as much as they did. I am sure it went Tony I need a little time off to rest my back. Sorry to hear that you think a few weeks will be good. That should fine.

Nether know how long it takes for a back to feel better.

So Don Callis was at the hospital until 3am getting his “head put back together,” as Alvarez described it. He was told it looked like he got hit with a hatchet.

He hit something as he fell and busted his face open. Don might have a gnarly scar next time we see him.

I read that he fell head first on a lighting rig. Youch. I wondered where that blood came from, he doesn't seem the type to cut himself. Figured Moxley just dinged him a little too hard. The truth is nastier.

Maybe this is too obvious to be true but Don Callis appears to be covertly siding with BCC. It's strange because his character is a carny snake, but he's always stuck with Kenny no matter if Kenny is face or heel. Maybe now Kenny has gone too lawful good for Callis' liking? He sees a faction who recently lost their leader and is very much chaotic evil, and he smells an opportunity. So far he's tried to cause friction between Kenny and Hangman, and he didn't run for the hills when BCC attacked Hangman, instead trying to shake Moxley's hand.

Speaking of Kenny, the match with Cobb was disappointing. Felt like it never got out of second gear. There were a couple of points where they were not communicating very well. Kenny barely got any offense until the last couple of minutes where he spammed his moves and won. Eh.

Danielson rejoining the BCC pack of wolves is certainly an interesting development. This quadruple is way OP, but there is an equally OP quadruple in Kenny, Hangman and the Young Bucks. It's lining up for AEW nonsense gimmick match. Stadium Stampede or whatever.

What I really want to happen is for ZSJ to show up and take them down one by one. Beat Yuta for the Pure title. Beat Claudio for the ROH title, assuming Kingston doesn't get there first. Have a Match Of The Century against Danielson. Then a match against Moxley where Moxley doesn't bleed. ZSJ submits all the BCC. Then he beats MJF, beats Okada, beats Roman Reigns/Cody Rhodes and has every major company's world championship at the same time. That would be a most glorious story.

OK, I got carried away, but I have one more thing to say.

I enjoyed the opening segment between Jungle Boy and MJF. Good promos from both sides. The one thing I didn't like was Jungle Boy cutting a great promo against MJF's "advice" that he should become a villain to succeed. MJF sells it, then smile and retorts by essentially saying "good promo, kid". There's a little too much kayfabe breaking from MJF.

The MJF and BCC beatdown segment were the highlights of the show. I fast forward through most of the show otherwise.

MJF is undeniably good on that mic, and I understand what they're trying to do with the pillars giving the other guys the rub (where's Darby and Sami BTW) but Jungle Boy needs a complete make over if he's going to be taken seriously. It was a cute gimmick on his debut and perhaps for a while it was (let's pretend it was) fun. But to me, he's goofball Edge in early 2001 and needs to find Edge in 2002 to begin building some momentum.

I think the 4 pillars angle needs urgency. The other 3 should be slugging it out at every opportunity to prove who is ready (that's a theme in wrestling ATM) to see who is next. But.. TK, stop.. start.. stop.. oh a new toy.. oh damn, the pillars right.

Of course dynamite was amaze balls. And then I switched from my paid for service in canada, to pirate stream to watch the "all access"(?) program. What the fuck was that steaming hot pile of dog shit.

I watched zero minutes but going off of this thread sounds pretty much what I expected it to be

This was not so much an AEW show but a Discovery show. And was the cost for Tony to get more time for wrestling. No one really into the show on the AEW side, but they get the network wants it and if it does well, it is good for AEW.

It is a completely show so if people do not like, then they can just ignore it entirely like WWE Divas.

If it can beat power slap ratings in that slot the network probably will call it a success.

Hayter is on All Access, does she get a lot of screen time. I might have to check the first episode out just for her.

Not really, I only remember her being present while Britt and Toni gossip about Thunder Rosa because TK decided to keep the title on her in November.

I'm still not seeing how that's Thunder's fault @x-Zero. She declared her absence the same night Punk did. Remember TK made a big song and dance that Thunder didn't deserve to do it in the ring due to ratings?

Yet he excuses the rest of his booking...

Let me say it again, I'm glad TK has bank-rolled AEW and has signed so many talented prospects. However while the company wouldn't exist without him, he's also easily it's biggest problem.

After my sad experience with watching night two of WrestleMania, I'm very excited to watch All Elite Wrestling Wednesday Night Dynamite on Wednesday night, with Riho taking on Jamie Hayter (who I've never actually seen have a match before) for the All Elite Wrestling Women's championship!

All those E DRONES who watch THE FED can suck it!

Oh no! They got papaya!

See you in three weeks on Dark Elevation!

@papaya, Jaime Hayter is awesome, that is all.

I bet she's less awesome than Riho though!

But to be fair, everyone is!

Nope.

Hayter > Riho.

Also Hikaru Shida is better than Riho (ask Big Pete, if you don't believe me).

I don't believe you OR Big Pete!!

According to AEW.com Riho is 5-0 in 2023.
