So...I know I'm a week late, but whatever.
I watched All Out. Yeah, until that roster gets better, don't do another 4 hour PPV.
Some thoughts:
Buy in battle royal: Interesting concept. Not terribly interesting to watch. Awesome Kong can go away. I like Britt Baker.
Private Party vs Dollar Store Hardy's (Angelico and Jack Evans). Fun match. Private Party can work, but they feel like a bit of a Street Profits ripoff without nearly as much personality.
SCU vs Luchasaurus, Jungle Boy, and a Make a Wish kid: Fun match as long as Marko Stunt wasn't in. Stunt reminds me of Spike Dudley in that, he runs around, unbelievably beats people larger than him senseless, then gets destroyed. And eats the pin. SCU is great. Daniels is one of those guys that works better than most half his age.
PAC vs Kenny Omega: I like evil Neville. One of my favorites. Kenny Omega should go back to wrestling blow up dolls. Cornette is right...he's a fucking goof. Stupid facial expressions. Everything is theatrical. Best part of this match was the finish.
Cracker Barrel Hardcore match: Really? Cracker Barrel. At least they could have had Lance Storm as a guest ref or something. This whole thing was stupid. Darby Allen should go jump off a building with his skateboard. Jimmy Havoc should staple his eyelids shut then join him. Joey Janela should give up and follow Blink 182 on a summer tour.
Dark Order vs Billy and Chuck: Wait....that wasn't Billy and Chuck? What's with the hand holding, huggy, kissy video. Whatever. This match was meh. Trent Beretta was the only good thing about this match. Also, what is an Orange Cassidy?
Riho vs Hikaru Shida: fun match. Too bad one of them is being sacrificed to the tranny chick that won the battle royal.
Cody vs Shawn Spears: Stupid entrances. Great storytelling. Fun finish. Disappointing aftermath. I don't get the Cody Star Trek thing...DDP looks like he could still go today. Brandi Rhodes can go away. I am a big fan of MJF. Loved seeing Arn do a run in. Too bad MJF didn't turn on Cody after the match. Kind of ruins his heel persona...
Lucha Dragons vs The Young Schmucks: Wait...not Lucha Dragons? Lucha House Party? No? *Checks notes* Oh, Lucha Brothers...fine. Whatever. I actually like Pentagon Jr and Rey Fenix. They can seem to work. They're fun to watch. They sell like crazy. The idiot Jackson brothers? Not so much. There was a spot where one of them went to jump over the ropes onto something, and it looked like he almost broke his neck. Unfortunately, he got back up.
Jericho vs Hangman Page: Great match. Dead crowd. What I said about Christopher Daniels above applies here, as well. Page's Buckshot Lariat is legit. His Deadeye finish, not so much. Bonus points for Hangman Page naming his horse, "Hunter Horse Helmsley". Right guy won, though...considering new promotion, new TV. Need a champion people actually know.
Commentary: Golden Boy Alex Marvez: fine. JR: Seemed completely disengaged with some of the worst parts of this show. Excalibur: terrible. Needs to go away. No one knows who this guy is...lose the mask.
Production: well done.
Easy Corny.
