They need to get a deal on Max asap. Not everyone is going to want to drop 50 every month.

It would have been cool to see Forbidden Door at Arthur Ashe Stadium but I guess they weren't able to get a deal.

Still no sign of All Shake it All About yet then?

I fully expected them to do it and Khan said as much, but I'm still disappointed at the All In and All Out scheduling. They're too close together. I wish they'd use one of the shows for something different, like a one night tournament or something.

Forbidden Door in MJF country seems a good place to bring him back if he's healthy.

Tacoma seemed puzzling at first glance, but I get the feeling that may be Danielson's retirement show, and they could end up packing the Tacoma Dome off that like they did with Sting in Greensboro.

Tacoma is also Swerve's hometown. If he's champ then, it'd be a hell of a homecoming. I echo the sentiment about how close All In and All Out are. Though with 9 shows a year (including Revolution), they could do a better job in general with spacing out the shows.

They are both banking holiday weekends in their respective countries, and have historical value in those particular weeks, so I get why they want to make both work. In terms of maximizing attendance/gates, it makes a lot of sense. They do need to figure out how to get both shows promoted simultaneously though, so we don't have All Out feeling like it's blatantly the lesser show with most of the card getting finalized that week, or figuring out how to bundle the show so it's more cost effective to get both.

Didn't even thing of the Washington connection with DBD. That would make all the sense in the world if that's his last fulltime match.

Full Gear back in Newark?! Hell yes.
Forbidden Door on Long Island instead of Queens? I was hoping it'd be Queens, but eh, it'll finally give me an excuse to check out the new arena on Long Island, since I don't think I'll have work the next day.

Looks good, but they should try moving All In to early August next year. The one week gap between All In and All Out is not ideal.

Good points. Makes sense for the live crowds as they're on two different continents, but it absolutely sucks for home viewers and probably hurts the possible buyrates of both shows if this is a regular occurrence. Last year's All Out's card felt pretty rushed, too, and that's not even considering that the original planned main event got tanked.
Granted last year's All Out ended up being a great show in spite of all the things going against it. As far as pure wrestling goes, I thought it was even better than All In. Hopefully they can work something out that's a bit kinder on home viewers' wallets if this is going to be a regular thing going forward. Like the oft-rumored streaming deal.

Yeah, the summer bank holiday, easiest for people to travel and not have to worry about rushing home? That’s prime London real estate for gigs and performances. I’m not letting that get taken away without a fight if I were AEW.
