AEW in August 2023: All In/All Lynn (Death Metal Growl)

[Tino Standard]

I had a feeling that was TK as Leatherface, but I thought it sounded too ridiculous to actually suggest.

 

[Hawk 34]

Vince always made the joke he would play Doink but gotta give it to TK, he actually follows up on this shit.

Now THAT would be such great shit, pal.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Considering how many times he has his ass out in the ring and had his face shoved in other’s men’s asses, would dressing up like a clown really have been beneath VKM’s dignity? It might be an upgrade to some of his usual schtick.

 

[Valeyard]

It's more like if Ted Turner was voicing Chucky.

Who else would have been as believable in portraying a crazy deranged lunatic in that company more than him, really?

Edit: it’s TK as leatherface for those who didn’t want to click on that link.

Matt Hardy’s co host Jon Alba just revealed Matt was joking when he said this. Boooo!

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

AEW is running Wembley Stadium again next August. That's crazy. Are they going to do All In/All Out back to back again? I guess we'll see how this year goes.

NJPW stars may appear as well on this PPV. Outside of Vegas, has AEW done a PPV on the West Coast before this?

They did San Francisco for Revolution this year

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Oof. Yeah, I felt like I was forgetting something.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

And I guess Full Gear is going to be at the LA Forum on November 18th so AEW has gone from doing no West Coast shows to doing predominantly West Coast shows?

 

[909]

Good tbh

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

West Coast is deserving of love. I just hope Boston gets a PPV in 2024.


Come to think of it, has AEW done a PPV in the traditional WWWF territory strongholds (NYC/Philly/Boston)? Closest would probably be Baltimore for the one that Chris Cruise snitched on for having too much blood.

Maybe Tony Khan will be the one to fulfill my dream of a wrestling show happening at Fenway Park dammit.

 

[Valeyard]

They run big shows in the PNW more often, they'll do well. I don't care what ever has or is going to happen, the starvation after WM19 is insane.

At least if they run a big show the odds of a good Prestige show happens, too, and they run like three minutes from me.

 

[Tino Standard]

Here’s hoping Danielson is ready to go for the Seattle PPV. Could be a good spot for him to have a return match if he’s cleared.

Side note: Interesting that they waited to announce that PPV until after tickets for Collision in Seattle the night before already went on sale. Wonder how many of the people who bought tix for Collision are now regretting it because they can’t afford both shows and would have rather gone to the PPV.

 

[geniusMoment]

Lost in more of the Punk drama is Mercedes Mone appearing on camera. And in the post show scrum Tony all but confirmed she's coming in (not sure if it's full time or not).

What do you think is the best way to use her? If it's full time for a few years she is someone you could use to finally build the division into something better.

But, if it's only let's say 10 dates. How do you book her?

 

[Valeyard]

The only way is the "you broke my neck you fucking bitch" grudge match with Saraya. Once that ends, I don't have faith in her being used any better than the rest of the division.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Maybe she can take it back to the 90s and feud with Mercedes Martinez, over the rights to use the name "Mercedes"?

Aside from that, I'd pay to see a Mercedes/Jade feud, just for the Diaspora Wars on Twitter, assuming that Jade's even coming back. Also, since they're both pretty big into cosplay, I'd expect the ring attire to be immaculate.

 

[Tino Standard]

So, what in the world is going to be the main event of All Out? The finish to MJF-Cole wasn’t exactly booked to leave the door open to a rematch, and it’s not like there is an obvious next challenger waiting.

You maybe could have pulled off a title vs title match with “the real world champion” Punk, but a.) The actual world champion hasn’t even acknowledged this is a thing, and now b.) Who knows what is going to happen with Punk this week anyway, given his latest backstage confrontation.

My guess is they find an excuse to run it back with MJF and Cole, but that’s only because they don’t really have many other choices with one week between PPVs.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

If CM Punk didn’t work himself into a shoot again, I’d have assumed he was going to main event All In. Now Idk what the hell is going to happen. It might be a good chance to have the Tag Team Titles or Women’s Title main event a PPV and have Better Than You Bay Bay defend the ROH Tag Team Titles against The Kingdom on the undercard (cue the groans from the IWC).

 

[Valeyard]

MJF and Cole should just get progressively more obnoxious and then become the best heel team in like 20 years.

 

[Valeyard]

Punk needs to pull this shit on Miro for tweeting about him. That fixes everything.

 

[BUTT]

Do a tag title rematch of MJF/Cole vs FTR with the stip that if MJF and Cole lose they can never team again. Obviously under normal circumstances it would be too soon for that stipulation but since they’ve treated this whole storyline like a joke it could work because if they lost everyone would know that the break up angle was coming. But they should win the titles and keep spinning the wheels for a while.

 

[geniusMoment]

Nick Hausman (whose gets his info from Punk's camp) has said Punk's future in AEW is questionable at best. This may be it for him. The question becomes what do you do with Collision? Do you make it Dynamite 2.0? I think it just ends up being Rampage if that is the case.

Maybe Edge and Mercedes both come in and you rework the show and they both are major parts of it?

Guys aren't gonna wanna work both shows because the schedule of working Wednesday and then Saturday would mean you would be on the road from Tuesday-Sunday some weeks.

CM Punk Left AEW All In Of His Own Accord, And More – Exclusive

Shortly after AEW All In was underway, Fightful reported that an altercation between CM Punk and Jack Perry occurred just before the opening match.

According to Punk’s timeline, his match with Samoa Joe yesterday never happened.

 

[909]

I dunno how you can be 44 years old and constantly getting in fights with people. It doesn't compute.

 

[Valeyard]

Well first you gotta be a prickly bitch.

[Valeyard]

If this dunderhead doesn't get his ass beat the story isn't finished right.

I like how he went from Warrior bad to 90s Shawn bad so fast.
