Look, we can all argue until the cows come home about CM Punk, Jack Perry, real glass, travel arrangements, paid attendance and so many other factors. But there's one factor to All In that I managed to completely overlook even while being there, and I think we can all agree that this is the most significant thing about the night.
Matt Taven was part of a main event angle in front of 81k people. Matt "Sexual" Taven. Matt "That's So" Taven. He of a thousand terrible t-shirts.
Wrestling's done, AEW is over, turn off the lights on the way out.

If you ever think you don't deserve what you have in life, remember Matt Taven has gotten main event spots at both MSG and Wembley.

The most important takeaway was Punk's Nando's order.

My takeaway is that you can have a successful show without Griff Garrison.

My watch party had some casual AEW watchers who don't know shit about ROH and wondered why the more hardcore of us got so deflated when Mike "I do the one chip challenge with a salt and vinegar chip" and the vessel for a primordial pervert spirit showed up in the main event. They flew these men out. They brought these guys to another continent just to appear at the end of a match. Unforgivable.

If you ever feel like you've made a bad call in life, remember ROH ran with Taven as their top guy at MSG. They accidentally lucked out there. The other options were Marty Scurll (who at the time seemed like the right choice, but uhhh), and Jay Lethal, who was absolutely frosty at that point because he'd been world champion for past his expiration date by then. Benefit of hindsight, Taven was definitely the lesser of the evils. |

Benefit of hindsight, Taven was definitely the lesser of the evils. Without foreknowledge, that is one of the most baffling booking decisions I have ever seen. I can only assume Marty's big new contract after that also guaranteed him a title run that would have been a classic ROH too little too late. |
