AEW All Out 2020 | A Coherent Review.

AEW has made their PPVs a satisfying watch. However, this one ain't it in my opinion. 

The show isn't a bad wrestling PPV. Instead, it was a bad AEW show. 

All Out wasn't long but it was FREAKING long. 

Where I live, the show started at 4 am (I had an off day) and it ended at almost 8 am WAY after sunrise. 

WWE spoiled the crap out of us with how short their PPVs are. 

The pre-show matches were meh. 

Big Swole vs Britt Baker In A Tooth And Nail Match. 

I completely forgot that Britt Baker has fully recovered from her leg injury. 

This was aight. Big Swole walked out of the clinic the winner.

I hope she moves on to a possible championship feud or something. 

The Young Bucks vs The Jurassic Express In Jungle Boy And Luchasaurus. 

A fun tag team match. The Young Bucks were victorious with the BTE trigger on Jungle Boy.

That dive from Luchasaurus on to the outside though. Perfection. 

The thing I especially liked about this match was in the beginning where Matt Jackson refused to shake Jungle Boy's hands. 

It tells the audience that confidence isn't tied to a bad guy persona only. 

The only thing it does is that it makes certain babyfaces unique. 

Casino Battle Royal Match With The Winner Being The Number One Contender For The AEW Championship. 

Speaking of something unique, this isn't your typical battle royal in the sense that 4 guys will show up every 2 minutes. 

Which is something I appreciate instead of putting all of the participants in one ring ya know? 

But, that doesn't mean it was good. This was boring not gonna lie. 

Evan Bourne is your surprise in this match (I'm the resident WWE shill, I had to call him that). 

That landing from him was bad. Hoping he's okay (he is not the last guy I'm hoping that he's okay). 

When Eddie Kingston was trying to eliminate Lance Archer, Taz on commentary was shouting in support of Kingston, "DO IT FOR NEW YORK!"

I actually laughed at that line for some reason. 

Lance Archer won the casino battle royal match and is now getting an AEW world title shot. 

Matt Hardy vs Sammy Guevara In A Broken Rules Match.  

The best part about this whole was the promo package that aired before the match. 

Hardy suffered a concussion after he landed through a table on to the concrete floor. 

The dude was out and they still continued the match. 

Now, Tony Khan said in the All Out post-show scrum quote (from Sportskeeda Senior Editor, Andrea Hangst’s Twitter): 

"Matt is okay, he’s going to be okay, he took a fall in the match, Tony paused the match, sent doctor in. Doctor passed/cleared him on protocol."

Still, AEW should have not resumed the match. What a mess. 

Matt Hardy threw Sammy through a series of tables from the top of the stage area to win this bout. 

Hikaru Shida vs Thunder Rosa For The AEW Women's World Championship. 

It's a shame that the build for this title feud was weak because the match was a completely different story.  

The title fight ruled. 

Loved the slam from both turnbuckles into a backbreaker by Thunder Rosa. 

Shida retained the championship with the tamashi. 

In an interview with Alex Marvez, Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford will host their marriage at AEW Dynamite this week. 

To which they plugged their twitch channel and it says in the bottom of the screen that it's AEW approved. 

Hilarious bruh.  

The Dark Order vs Dustin Rhodes, Matt Cordona, Scorpio Sky And QT Marshall. 

This was a skippable 6 man tag team action.

It honestly feels like you would see in an episode of Dynamite or something because it damn sure isn't a PPV quality match. 

I love Jim Ross but damn, his commentary in this match was especially bad and it didn't add anything to the story.

The good guys won with a roll-up from Dustin Rhodes. 

FTR vs Hangman Page and Kenny Omega For The AEW World Tag Team Championship. 

I was looking forward to this encounter and let me tell ya, it disappointed me to no end. 

It was long and slow with one unnecessary spot in Omega's leg injury.

If the match took out that leg damage angle, it wouldn't affect the match at all. 

FTR are your new tag team champions thanks to their spiked piledriver. 

After the match, they teased a heel turn from Kenny Omega but it didn't happen. 

At least not today. 

Chris Jericho vs Orange Cassidy In A Mimosa Mayhem Match. 

By the time AEW announced that Orange Cassidy will face Chris Jericho AGAIN in a mimosa mayhem match, I was done with this feud. 

The rubber match though was decent actually. 

By the way, The crowd singing at Chris Jericho's theme song never gets old. 

Unfortunately, the crowd enthusiasm for Chris didn't lead to a win. 

Because Cassidy won the match with two superman punches that made Chris go through the big bucket of orange/champagne beverage. 

Full Gear is announced and it will take place on November 7th. 

Hoping it's much better than this show I'll tell ya that much. 

Jon Moxley vs MJF For The AEW World Championship. The Paradime Shift Is Banned For This Match.  

During the match, MJF damaged Jon Moxley's right shoulder by pushing down Moxley's arm on the ring apron. 

Mox then threw MJF on to the ring post that had the young man busted wide open. 

The match concluded when the ref was concentrating on Wardlow, MJF was about to hit Jon with the diamond ring. 

But, Moxley nailed the Paradigm shift to still be known as the AEW world champion. 

I've not liked an AEW PPV main event match since Full Gear last year. 

With that being said, that was a great main event encounter. 

Will see whether we will witness a rematch or not given how the match ended. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: AEW world title match, The Young Bucks vs Jurassic Express, AEW women's title match, Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford bit. 

Didn't like: 6 man tag match, AEW world tag team title match, the length of the show, how AEW handled Matt Hardy concussion by continuing the match, Casino battle royal, Jim Ross' commentary in the 6 man tag match.
