It will probably end up on some obscure cable channel that nobody gets.

Someone said it could be TSN which would make a lot of sense i think.

Rhodes has been liking tweets about TSN so maybe it's possible after all ..

[Stanford]

Yeah, I thought I read on here that TSN was out.

They would be a good spot. Raw was on TSN for a long time.

Wasn't WCW on TSN and Raw is on sportsnet, it would make sense.

Being in on a good tv network in america is all well and good, but they need good international tv deals as well (meaning they need to nail the Canada, UK, Australian and Indian markets with their tv deals to really be big business since those are probably the biggest tv markets they realistically could target).

AEW needs this guy:

[improper]

Rusev would be a mega star in any competent promotion. He's got charisma, a good look, he can work the mic, and he's an above average worker.

[Wo1verine]

It's been reported that they were out by Metlzer? I can't remember would need to find the link i know i read they were out at one point 100% though.

Edit: Here's the link was from this past May so things could have changed.

Damn, Rusev is all jacked up! would be interesting to see him in aew if he joins it someday

Worth the watch if you plan on ordering ALL OUT tonight:

Watch on YouTube

Opening tag match was dope

Omega's music stinks. Well, it doesn't. But it's not unique enough. It doesn't enhance the entrance at all. I hope AEW doesn't struggle with entrance music, the thing WWE does so well.

Omega is so good at exaggerating his movements to tell technical stories, without looking cheesy or fake. It's going to make a big difference with new viewers.

[WRau1]

NXT UK was fantastic. All Out so far has been pretty good. Expected more from Pac v Omega but it was still solid for a last minute match.

[Spens1]

All Out was really good. PAC vs Omega was solid i thought but the emotion in Cody vs Spears was really good.

Omega needs new music, i know you can't take your New Japan music over but that was final boss stuff. This here is just sad.

[Dominator83]

Was at the show. Must say that ladder match was probably the 2nd best match I ever saw live, with the 1st being Punk/Cena mitb. Now I know that maybe for those who watched on TV might just brush it off as a spot fest, but damn. They did some insane **** and have not seen some of these moves before. Have no idea how they didn't leave the building in an ambulance. Especially the buck that got his foot caught on the rope on a fall off the ladder to the outside. Was supposed to go thru 2 tables. But only broke one and hit his head on the other. Needless to say he was wiped out the rest of the match.

Feel bad for Page/jericho. They were given the impossible task of following that ladder match up. Unless they had Punk showing up after the match to challenge the champ (which didn't happen) there was no point in having that after the ladder match.

All the other matches were all pretty solid. Cracker barrel match was fun, Omega/Pac delivered and I didn't mind the shock value finish. Rhodes match was very good and liked the unpredictability. Thought for sure the whole match that MJF would turn on rhodes and spears would win. Looks like theyre gonna play the betrayal slowly.

All in all I left satisfied with what I saw. Much better than anything I'll get from WWE that's for sure

Much better than anything I'll get from WWE that's for sure

The general feeling online this morning is that the NXT UK show was better.

[WRau1]

Nah. While good, All Out was pretty much on par with a good main roster WWE show. Not nearly as good as any recent NXT ppvs.

[jakecronus8]

Very good show. I think they need to dump the hardcore guys and limit the comedy guys a bit more but the upper mid card and main event stuff was tremendous all around.

Notes:

Luchasaurus is gonna be huge. I think you can get a ton out of him as both a baby face and a heel.

Im not super familiar with him but allegedly the wrap on MJF is that he just isn’t a good worker, which is unfortunate because his charisma is off the charts. Should probably be the heater in a tag team long term.

I don’t understand what Tye Dillinger’s new gimmick is.

AEW needs to overhaul their lower/mid card. Too many guys that look like bowlers and backyard wrestlers.

Don’t see it with Page, but the main event was still a good story. Disagree with those saying the tag should’ve gone last. When you’re crowning your first world champion ever you have to give the match the prestige of the main event. Personally I think you should’ve had Omega and whomever you wanted tear the house down. Jericho and Page was never gonna be a five star classic.

I’m feeling a lot more positive about AEW’s future after that show than I did after the previous two.

[Coach Smiley]

I enjoyed all the big matches thoroughly, main event included. Pre show tag match was great. Still some room for improvement (format and look is still too WWE for my tastes) but I'll give their TV show a chance.

[Scott Hall]

Tyler Bate vs. Walter is a MOTY candidate coupled with the UK crowd signing songs the entire match and giving
it a Soccer like vibe and Nigel McGuiness having an orgasm over it makes it an instant classic. But Lucha Bros vs.
The Young Bucks is right up there and that spot where Matt Jackson took a Canadian Destroyer (I think) from a ladder
to a Table was utterly insane also that spot where Jacksons legs got tripped by the ropes and he went into the tables
was crazy.

It was another 5 hour PPV with Preshow included and there were some boring parts. The AEW Womens division is
really really bad now and when their core nucleus isn't wrestling sometimes it feels like you're watching a high level
big budget Indy show.

Jim Ross is cooked though I think he's done they need to find a way to add Tony Schivone into the booth even if
they don't want to demote or fire the other guys they just hired make it a 4 man booth if necessary.

Also agree with others they really need to work on their entrance themes

That spot was impressive and strangely enough probably the safest looking high spot in the match. Kudos to both guys.

Nyla is great and unique. Outside of her you’re right though. Need some talent injections there. Was hoping they’d be able to sign Taeler Hendrix and Jordynne Grace among others. It’s a shame about Kylie Rae. I don’t know if she’s done with wrestling but I really liked her gimmick.

Spot on re: the big budget Indy remark. Yes your hardcore Indy/anti wwe fans will show up for the time being but long term this just isn’t going to attract casuals and wwe fans. Worries me a bit.

I hate it but you’re also right on JR. The game has passed him by. Father Time always goes over in the end.

Let me rephrase that to main roster WWE
