Stuart Irvine AEW All Out Review

Hello ladies and Gentlemen my name is Stuart Irvine and I’m hear to look at AEW third ever PPV All Out at the Sears Centre Arena in the Chicago, with exciting match up like Kenny Omega vs Pac, Lucha Brothers vs. The Young Bucks in a ladder match for the AAA World Tag Team Championship, and Chris Jericho vs. Adam Page for the inaugural AEW World Champion.

It sharped up to be an amazing event so that look at AEW All IN:

Pre Show Result (Didn't watch these matches, sorry)

Private Party (Isiah Kassidy & Marq Quen) beat Angelico and Jack Evans

Nyle Rose won the 21-woman Casino Battle Royale

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luchasaurus, Jungle Boy, and Marko Stunt vs. SoCal Uncensored (Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, and Scorpio Sky)

My Opinion: Great way to start the show with two teams you know can deliver and are over with the crowd and with their high flying high impact from both teams, it was just fun and put a smile on your face. My God they Lachasaurus is so over and the things he can do in the ring is amazing, the Jurassic Express is going to be a big team in the AEW Tag team division in the future.

So SoCal Uncensored get the win which I didn’t see happening with the way the match was heading but, doesn’t hurt Jurassic Express and look forward to see what these team can do when they get a good story when they debut on TV on October 2nd.

My rating: 3 out of 5

Pac vs Kenny Omega

My Opinion: Really great match to the eye, with great high impact and for a match that was put together 10 days before it was pretty solid. At time it did feel a bit off with one or two moves but Pac was a great replacement because if you can’t have the air or ground style match you can have air and impact instead as Pac is very similar to Omega.

But Pac gets the win by submission was a shock as I thought Omega would win to get momentum with his match at some point against Moxley. Hope Pac is in AEW more and looks forward to seeing Mox vs Omega at some point and with Moxley injury possibly may help in the long run.

My rating: 3 out of 5

Darby Allin vs. Joey Janela vs. Jimmy Havoc in Cracker Barrel Clash.

My Opinion: All I can say is HOLY SHIT this match was crazy and what you expanded for these three of them. With thumbtack in Havoc mouth to using the Cracker Barrel as a weapon it had everything you want from a hardcore type match.

Everyone got their chance to shine with Darby Allin standing out for me as he can take a beating and that using the skateboard with thumbtacks as a weapon I’ve never seen that before and I loved it.

Jimmy Havoc getting the win using the Cracker Barrel is fitting which works because he has the more experience but any one of these men could have won and it made sense which is always good as it makes it unpredicted.

My rating: 3.5 out of 5

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent Beretta) vs. The Dark Order (Evil Uno and Stu Grayson)

My Opinion: A pretty solid tag team match which good elements of an old and new style of Tag Team wrestling. But for some really didn’t really get into the match that maybe as there no real story which would change when TV Taping start.

I like the Dark Order and did their jobs as the heels very well and those creepers are really fuck up, Wasn’t the best match on the card but highlighted these two teams very well, it did feel like it was a match that could have finished a couple of minutes earlier but that just a nitpick of mine.

Dark Order gets the win which is good and gets a bye for the first round which I see them using as a way to get Dark Order to the finals. But, the best friend getting a new friend which is Orange Cassidy, I have to admit have no idea who he is but he looks good and even the numbers game if these two the team go against each other again.

My rating: 3 out of 5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Riho vs. Hikaru Shida

My Opinion: It was a good match but I couldn’t really get into with not knowing much of the two and no real storyline with it. It feel off at times but that may be due to the size of Riho, it had good high flying action here and both women do look good and the crowd were really behind Riho.

The story was Riho being the underdog against Hikaru Shida and at some points look like she was going to lose. But Riho getting the win makes sense as Riho is the perfect Opponent for Nyle Rose as a David vs Goliath match up works for both women strengths and look forward to seeing it for the AEW Women's title.

My rating: 2.5 out of 5

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cody vs. Shawn Spears

My Opinion: What can you say is that they throw everything at this match and show they know how to do personal storylines well. Both men looked good Cody wasn’t messing around and was fun to watch as you really wanted Cody to bet the hell out of Spears.

Spears that his moments and I like to see where they will go with him and you know you have done bad when MJF looks like a good guy haha. Anderson getting involved was a nice moment, Cody wins with a second cross Rhodes for the win. I like at the end with MJF looking at the Chair, which hopefully sees a slow turn on Coby in the future.

My rating: 3 out of 5

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lucha Brothers (Pentagon Jr. and Rey Fenix) vs. The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) in a ladder match for the AAA Tag Team Championship.

My Opinion: The match of the night by far you can’t be surprised with these two teams, it was high pace action from the get-go, with flips, spots, people going through tables, jumping off ladder etc. All I can say is go and watch this match, it was insane.

I could see these team battle for years, that how good they are, every match has been amazing and I can see people getting into AEW with this match alone. Lucha Brothers getting the win was the right call as with the AEW Tag Team Championship tournament coming soon, Young Bucks don’t need to have the gold. The addition of Santana and Ortiz to the AEW Tag team division it’s exiting time of tag team wrestling.

My rating: 4 out of 5

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adam Page vs. Chris Jericho for the inaugural AEW World Championship

My Opinion: What a main event, it has done everything it needed to be for AEW first world title match. Chris Jericho made Adam Page look good and Page showing he belongs there in the main event scene.

We had hard-hitting action and a bit of blood to add a bit of spice and dam Jericho is the best heel ever and that judas effect looks more impactful then in his match with Omega.

Jericho was the right choice as I do like Adam Page is wasn’t his time and with the TV taping starting soon, you need a star name and Jericho is it. So look forward to Jericho reign as the first AEW World champion.

My rating: 3.5 out of 5

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Thoughts: Another great PPV by AEW, it still has some problems with some of the matches needing some story to them as they were good but was a bit flat.But I’m sure that would be fixed when they start on TV.

The match of the night was the Lucha Brothers vs. The Young Bucks for me but most of the matches were solid to decent. I can’t wait for October 2nd when they start on TV, it’s a great time to be a wrestling fan.

Overall rating: 8 out of 10
