Kraken up.
When Moxley, as Dean Ambrose, returned to WWE after injury he was jacked and toned. He seems to have either slacked off in the gym or gone hard in catering.

Be looked better when he returned from rehab. I don't think road life agrees with him much. I don't blame him, it's hard to stay in good shape with these schedules.

One giant problem, guys will get solid momentum, and then they have no clue what to do with them. Wardlow, Bryan Danielson, MJF, etc. Danielson is one of the best wrestlers in the industry and he's done jack shit ever since he joined with f***ing Moxley. Danielson was cutting excellent heel promos and he has name recognition from people outside of those who watch AEW.
They had a great opportunity to grow their product when Punk, Danielson, etc. came over but they f***ed it up. Myself, I was watching quite a few AEW shows but now I just follow it for the most part, and judging by the ratings, many others have done the same.
(from the news thread)
Were you missing the question mark? I scrolled through the AEW twitter feed and saw no mention of them fighting at All Out. Unsure where it would be officially announced if not there. I find it hard to believe when they sold a re-injury angle Wednesday after he was out for nearly three months, but who knows.

It's not official. It's Meltz saying Punk is coming out next week to get a rematch

I mean...Danielson joined with them and like immediately had a fairly significant injury that kept him out most of the summer, that isn't like in the same universe as them not having a decent follow up for Wardlow after the MJF fued.
I do admit his injury played a factor but once he joined them he was rarely on the mic and his momentum was on the decline anyway.

Adam Page's matches since Forbidden Door (exactly 2 months ago)
Battle Royale on Rampage
Tag match with John Silver against The Blade and the Butcher on Rampage
This seems crazy to me for a guy who's younger than their other stars and seems built to be a workhorse.

He never should have joined the BCC, he was the best heel going before that. And didn't he get the injury in that big group match against Jericho and his band of misfits?

from fightfulselect.com:
Sammy Guevara reached out to Fightful and told his side of the story on the backstage encounter that lead to Eddie Kingston’s suspension:
"As a professional you communicate things that you don’t want to be said (like other people I’ve been in programs with and have worked with Matt Hardy, Jericho and others)
and I did communicate of what I didn’t want to be said in this angle and Eddie didn’t. But Eddie did not do the same and Eddie did not mention to me or the coaches or TK or anyone in AEW what he didn’t want said.
But Eddie did not do the professional thing and communicate to me, which if he did I never would have said it cause the last thing I want to do is hurt someone for real.
So after the promo I get to the back and Eddie is flipping out yelling “YOU CANT CALL ME FAT” over and over as I’m trying to walk down the stairs in gorilla making a big scene. People get in between us, Eddie try’s to pie face me and he more life touches my face it was weird. And everyone backs everyone up. It was unfortunate cause this promo was on a taped show and easily could have been edited (which they ended up doing anyways) i know this isn’t Eddie’s first time being aggressive and getting out of control backstage. I know he had to do some kind of anger management after this whole thing. This whole thing was very unnecessary but it Is what it is, Live & learn I guess, onto the next we go."

Random note: Tony Schiavone is awesome. I used to make fun of him so much in WCW with the classic line he used almost every week "this is the greatest night in the history of our sport!" He's so good in AEW though. I mean he wasn't bad in WCW, he was decent. Certainly better than Michael Cole. Can't believe we've had to listen to him for 20+ years.

Rosa mentioned on Busted Open that the reason she didn't get to drop the belt with a promo in the ring was because they were low on time. Bullshit they didn't make time for their women's champ like that.
Also she couldn't feel her legs at one point this week and her back has been f***ed for months.

Considering how bad her backstage pretapes are, it was probably a bonus that it wasn't a live in ring promo

Idk kinda believe Sammy story.
With Dark Order winning I expect Trios final being Elite vs Dark Order with Page, Cole and ReDragon getting involved

She is still the champ. Let her do that in the ring and give her 5 minutes to cry a little. Get the fans to cheer her.
The way they did it made her and the belt look like afterthoughts.
So many guys that deserve a match at All Out aren't on the card yet. Santana, Ortiz, PAC, Lucha Bros, Hangman, Cole, O'Reilly, Fish, Samoa Joe, Darby, Sting (?), Ethan Page, Sky, Hook, Statlander, Cargill, Black, Brody King, etc.
I know some of these guys will be in the ladder match. I don't know who out of this list is injured. The roster is way too large. I'm a big fan of battle royals so I wished they did a battle royal of all the guys not on the card, Do the Andre battle royal correctly and put a trophy on the line every year.
I think they should have added Statlander and Serena Deeb to the women's match and make it a 6-way match.
I also wished they would had add numerals to All Out. Like this should be called All Out IV. I think it just makes it sound more important.
I hate the concept of interim titles.

No, if she is incapable of doing it effectively then you don't have her do it.
A little concerned with Claudio. He had a ton of trouble getting on the same page with Sammy in the blood n guts match, and tonight he and Dustin spent all much fumbling over each other. I haven’t seen Rhodes look that clumsy, ever.

Because they ran out of the ring and attacked him? DQ was a good thing anyway because they now they can focus on Miro and Black. And Miro has the best damn entrance music.
