Just finished watching All Out and as a casual wrestling fan who only watches major events -
*GTFO with light tubes. Nothing says 'low quality wrestling' than using light tubes. They're on the same level as cheese graters.
*Mercedes Mone's ring gear was ass. She needs to get back with her husband damn quick. And her wrestling has devolved since she left WWE, which is obviously due to a lack of activity and only working the major events.
I can appreciate that wrestling two or three times a week is too physically exhausting, but at the same time wrestling once a month is a lack of activity to keep the performance at tip-top shape.
*At this point in wrestling history fans are under the impression we've basically seen everything... so... what have we not seen? Syringes? Ummm fuck no. That was something we had not seen that I pretty sure that we wish we still had not seen.
Cinder blocks? Ummm. I REALLY hope that was a one-time deal, and the powerbomb on the cider block was..... concerning... far more concerning than the chair shot to the head. I'd fear for the for the talent that tries to top that because it could go very bad and very quickly.
I appreciate that AEW talent want to set themselves apart, but I fear that someone is going to get permanently injured and AEW will be forced regulate their talent's risky maneuvers rather than doing it willingly.
And no, I'm not queemish. I'm just not easily shocked when they're so transparently trying to be shocking. It comes off as shallow.
Not sure how common of an opinion this is, but I'm fine with chair shots to the head as long as they're occasional. No more than 2 chair shots a year for each talent.
Overall... good event.
