platinum max is one of my most anticipated entrances every time.

i watched the "aew post show fallouts"/reporter scrum (post ppv), which i thought was excellent. it was cool seeing it a week or so after the fact; they knew they had done something pretty special that night.

tony k seems like the nicest guy in the world. i think he might do a lot of coke.

Tony has since said that All Out did >200k buys. Their top one prior was ~145k. I'm sure he was on a high during the media scrum with how good the show was.

Just finished Rampage. Loved Pac vs. Andrade. Weird ending with Chavo. Hope Pac can stay around this time!! Enjoyed Pillman Jr. vs. Castor as well. Kind of clunky in spots but decent stuff. Pillman Jr. gonna be a star. Had to clip this awesome clothesline:

i cant stand pac for some reason. he is flat in the "character" department to me. i like omega as a heel, but overall i cant stand him either.

Can't get on board with either of these takes!

Adam Cole you ****ing moop, you're a heel. That means you don't actively lead these dipshits in sing-along with your catch phrase.

(I started the show late.)

That Cole match to open was actually good. Unfortunately he's gonna cut a promo now.

I liked it better when I thought Tully was doing the first chloroform rag since Giant Gonzalez at WM IX. Was a bit disappointing that he was just wiping paint off.

That's where my mind went too. Was disappointed as well.

I don't think I could take very many wrestling bumps without being a huge baby about it.

But I do think I could take a padded microphone to the forehead. Announcers trying to put that over as a grave blow made me laugh.

I seriously think he’s just decided to kill himself and this will be the most fun way to do it.

That does look stacked. To the point that it sort of looks ill-advised to be giving the entirety of it away on regular cable TV. But I'll definitely be tuned in.

They only run 4 PPVs a year. It seems like these specials are the equivalent of the monthly WWE PPVs and serve to end/advance the big storylines that come from the normal weekly shows. One of the announcers on Dynamite even said something along the lines of "It's a PPV on free TV!"

I'd much rather them stack cards on free TV once a month while they are hot and still growing than fall into the rut that WWE has where it's literally the same matches every week on Raw for 3 months straight.

Yeah, I love how they do these themed, "special" shows. "PPV on free TV" is definitely cool and they're striking a great balance with their content.

I'm sure we'll eventually see more than 4 yearly PPVs in the future, but I really like the setup they have now.

I retract my hesitance. Should be great.

Yeah that is exactly what it is. In the new contract they made it called for several television special events.

they are for sure striking all the right chords currently. im as on board as ive ever been, to the point i actually looked at the last RoH ppv (kinda blah imo, but also dont know most of the guys now/Jay L is awes), and watched dark and dark elevation as well. luckily its very easy to fast forward through stuff i think is subpar. allows you to not get burnt out imo.

I was not aware that this activity would go on for more than half the show.

After a worthless first half of the show, that Britt/Ruby promo face-off was really good.
