Crowd was there for all the show but some of the shit just wasn't hitting me for me. Some of the finishes as well was meh.

All of the hand wringing and doom posting and concern trolling before the show. So many "hot takes that aged poorly" you could power the sun with them.
10/10. I'm going to All In: London II. Bet.

I can't go higher than 9 because of FTR retaining and Shida losing. However, most everything else was good to great and the ending finished just the way it needed to.

Went with an 8. TK proving himself yet again to be an idiot mark bitch when it comes to Phil and Friends, as well as Shida getting f***ed over, cost it points. Phenomenal show otherwise.
Edit: changed it to a 9. The good definitely outweighed the bad.

I gave an 8. In a vacuum I thought the show was insanely entertaining and I thought a lot of things were handled right. I get not liking things like FTR winning with Cash's legal stuff still out there or the women's match, but it didn't bug me. That being said, and I'm embarrassed to admit this, but man did I let the negativity in the live thread really take me out of a huge portion of the show so I knocked the show down to an 8.
Still had a blast watching, but I think for PPVs I'm gonna stick to waiting till after the show to post stuff

Dude, I somewhat agree to an extent, but you make way too many of these posts. Just stop letting it get to you.

9/10:
The Zero Hour Matches were fun.
Joe vs. Punk was solid.
Bang Bang Gang vs. The Elite was fun.
FTR vs. YB was awesome.
Stadium Stampede was madness in the best way possible.
The Women’s Match was fine. But dear lord TK. One women’s match on the show and it only gets like 8 minutes, pitiful.
Ospreay vs. Jericho was great.
Do was The Coffin Match.
The Trios Match was fun.
The ME was fantastic.

I'm going to copy/paste what I said in the main show thread and give it 10/10
Excellent show, IMO. Fun from top to bottom. Stadium Stampede went a little longer than I would have liked and I'm not happy with all of the winners, but I don't expect a four-hour PPV to be booked specifically for me either, so I can cope with that. Had an absolute blast with it all. Can't wait for next year.

Got distracted by the Final Fantasy talk in the live thread so I ended missing some stuff but what I saw was great.
The women's match was good but I wanted Shida to retain.
Main event was exciting, emotional and funny.

A weak 7. It was very much an AEW show for all the merits and faults that phrase carries with it. Still feel like the card presented didn't warrant the arena in which the show was held. It felt like a regular PPV in a bigger arena than AEW's biggest PPV ever.

I’ll try to catch the show during the week, but some of the booking decisions seem questionable. Especially FTR retaining, the Elite losing, women getting such a short match, and Saraya winning. And more Punk drama apparently backstage. The rest sounds pretty good though so I’ll check it out.

sentimental rating but a 10 solely because I was pretty sure I didn’t wanna watch wrestling anymore earlier in the week
probably a 9 in reality, I’m really confused about the women’s division. there’s so many good potential storylines and wrestlers but i guess it just might not ever happen? idk?

High 9. Certainly had its flaws, but it was a historic show and everyone involved busted their asses to entertain a hot crowd. Even the weaker matches had memorable moments, and I respect that they erred on the side of having too many feel-good victories than too few, even if the results weren't always to my preference.
Also, Stadium Stampede f***ing ruled.

Going with a 9.5 (Rounded up to a Ten) because while not a perfect show (Some head scratching booking and the women getting short changed did sting a little) you just can't beat that big stadium atmosphere especially in front of a pumped up crowd.

It’s definitely a 10/10 show, for the historical significance alone. The matches all delivered as well, and the main event was a damn near perfect spectacle of “sports entertainment” from the “alternative” company.
It just can’t be overstated that this 4 year old T-shirt company just ran a show at Wembley Stadium in front of 80,000+ fans.
I won’t allow CM Punk’s continued nonsense to detract from that.
