AEW
All Out
Chicago, IL
Sept. 3rd, 2023
This was just a generic battle royal. Adam Page wins for the feel good move since the money is going to the charity of the winners choice.
2 / 5
Skye is over in front of a home town crowd of course but this just didn’t work really. Not everyone seemed on the same page.
2 / 5
This was just for the big spots. Rodman got to be involved and Acclaimed / Gunn got their moves in.
2.5 / 5
MJF selling the neck so Dark Order got to look like heels and Cole got to look like a superhero trying to keep their belts.
3.5 / 5
This was fine. Quick and just big guys hitting each other. Keeping it quick worked well since Taylor isn’t known by many.
3 / 5
This was fun. Darby got to bleed and be over the top trying to fight someone so much better. They had Wayne and Christian involved for the story. Losing gives Darby some time off I bet to heal up.
3.25 / 5
This got way more time than expected. Another big hoss type battle but it worked out great and gave both guys a showcase they desperately needed.
3.5 / 5
Another match that was a showcase of people that needed it. Kris and Soho looked great here and the crowd was into it.
3.5 / 5
God both men here beat the hell out of each other. Danielson proves why he’s top tier and Starks held up great here. This was 2 guys going for it all and putting on a great match that can be hard to do well.
4.5 / 5
This could have been shorter. It dragged on a bit and Eddie losing again to Claudio doesn’t help his cause.
2.75 / 5
This should help AEW solidify Takeshita as a big guy for a long time. Omega ran his true and tested formula here and both guys put on a great match.
4 / 5
This was fun but going 20 minutes wasn’t entirely needed. FTR and Bucks working together was fine and them doing team moves was a fun kick. Bullet Club Gold needed the win as without Punk they’ll likely be the head of Collision.
3.75 / 5
The end was expected here. Cassidy has made that title mean something and his story has come to an end. Mox made sure he looked like a strong beaten champ losing finally in a super physical bloody match.
4 / 5
