AEW All Out review : Winners , losers and star ratings.
The main event was a highly anticipated clash between Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley, two of the biggest names in professional wrestling. This match was a culmination of their long-standing rivalry, which had been brewing for years. The two wrestlers had a history of intense battles, with each match leaving fans wanting more. The match itself was a brutal, back-and-forth affair, with both wrestlers showcasing their incredible athleticism and technical prowess.
This match was a testament to the power of storytelling in wrestling. The story was told through the actions of the wrestlers, their facial expressions, and the crowd’s reaction. The crowd was electric, and the tension was palpable. The match was a masterclass in how to tell a compelling story in a short amount of time. The match was a showcase of MJF’s heel persona. He was arrogant, condescending, and manipulative.
**A Clash of Titans: Omega vs.
Kenny Omega [c] for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship: This match is a must-see for any wrestling fan. It’s a clash of titans, a battle of styles, and a generational clash. Will Ospreay, the high-flying, acrobatic, and technical wizard, faces off against Kenny Omega, the veteran, the innovator, and the master of storytelling. This match is a culmination of years of rivalry, and it’s a fight for the ages.
The year of Ospreay continues with another instant classic in the record books. I can not wait to see what rating Dave Meltzer gives this match. Rating: **** ½ Kris Statlander vs. Willow Nightingale (Chicago Street Fight) My expectations for this match were relatively low. I even felt sorry for Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale, once I realized that they had to follow Will Ospreay and PAC. I will happily admit that I was very wrong for underestimating them. If it weren’t for the International Championship match, this would have been the best match of the night. AEW has consistently pushed the envelope for violence in televised women’s wrestling. That doesn’t mean this match was gratuitously violent. The level of animosity felt appropriate for two former friends, who have been feuding for over the last three months. They used baseball bats, thumbtacks, trash cans, LED lights, chains, and dog collars; refusing to pull any punches and shedding their share of blood. Ultimately, it was Statlander who stood victorious, forcing Nightingale to submit.
This match was a showcase of the two women’s skills and athleticism. The match was a back-and-forth affair, with both women trading blows and showcasing their technical prowess. The crowd was electric, with the energy levels reaching a fever pitch.
The match was ultimately a disappointment, failing to live up to the hype and expectations surrounding it. The match was a showcase of technical prowess, with both wrestlers showcasing their exceptional skills. However, the execution of these skills was often hampered by poor timing and pacing. The match lacked a clear narrative, leaving the audience confused and frustrated. The match was a technical showcase, but it lacked the emotional connection and storytelling that would elevate it to a truly memorable experience.
Perry’s early dominance was a testament to his potential, but Danielson’s veteran experience and technical prowess ultimately prevailed. The match was a showcase of Bryan Danielson’s technical mastery, showcasing his signature blend of wrestling and submission holds. He utilized his trademark submission holds, like the LeBell Lock and the Cattle Prod, to control Perry and wear him down. Danielson’s methodical approach and precise execution were on full display, leaving Perry frustrated and exhausted.
The Blackpool Combat Club as we know it, is dead. Danielson was administered oxygen and carried away by physicians. What a beginning to the co-main events. Rating: ***¾ “Hangman” Adam Page vs. Swerve Strickland (Lights Out Steel Cage Match) This feud between “Hangman” Adam Page and Swerve Strickland began one year ago. All of their transgressions and animosity have led them to this point, locked in a steel cage in an unsanctioned “lights out” match. Admittedly, I’m not a fan of “hardcore” wrestling. I don’t mind the occasional use of a foreign object or wrestler’s getting a little color, but professional wrestling should be more akin to a combat sport than watching two men maim each other. This match was unabashedly “hardcore.” Over the course of this match chairs, staple guns, barbed wire, a cinder block, and a hypodermic needle were used by both men to inflict gratuitous amounts of violence. While I was happy that Page finally defeated Strickland, I would have preferred he beat him in a traditional, sanctioned wrestling match. For fans who appreciate “death matches” or “hardcore” wrestling, this might have been fantastic. Unfortunately, this was a little out of my wheelhouse.
Rating: ***
