it'll be a godsend for the chicago fans going to all out because if you were expecting people to pay 50 smackers for the real world title to main event you're high out of your f***ing mind dude

they'll end up with something better

Are we sure Punk wasn’t just salty Perry was having a better run with an unsanctioned title?

[The Captain]

When Tony Khan himself says the weekend before All In (paraphrased) "the advanced buys from this show are strong enough to offset any drop from All Out," it really does solidify the idea that this show is expected to not do well and is being treated as such.

Not that that's a good look for AEW to phone in a PPV because it's a week after your massive Wembley Stadium show because enough people are still paying a lot of money for it. But I also hope that means they know it's a really bad idea to have two major events back-to-back weekends and won't make the same mistake in 2024. I'd either phase out All Out entirely (since until Khan bought ROH, it was their replacement for not being able to legally use "All In" as a show name) or run it another weekend much further away from All In.

If you run into a whole ass in the morning, you ran into a whole ass. If you run into whole asses all day, you took a dark path.

Indeed, if you morning on an asshole then you are, in fact, an all day.

Give a man a whole ass and he has an ass for a day. Teach a man how to get whole asses and he has asses for the rest of his career.

It's not shocking. Just disappointing. We've seen him phone in Dynamite and Collision a handful of times, but a PPV in a market you overrun is insulting honestly. My buddy and I almost bought tickets, but thank god we didn't.

They say every time Punksutawney Phil emerges from his locker room, if he sees a Shield member Roman's title reign lasts another year.

[Gerard Gerard]

Not me out here trying to manifest Ricky Starks vs Colt Cabana for the Punk vanity belt.

[Chiral]

All Out's planned main event being a match they just had on Collision fairly recently is pretty funny. TK on the scrum was very much (through his bragging word salad) sounding like he's doing All Out mostly for the labor day tradition / that it's booked already but I imagine this fiasco is giving him pause though it sounds like All Out a week after All In is pretty firmly booked for next year as well.

I like to think Punk was just gonna bounce between single matches with Joe and Starks till end of year.

Starks has gotta be pissed here. Missed out on All In because he was gonna main event with Punk in Chicago. Ricky needs to come out on Collision and say 'Punk's running scared. I'm the face of Collision now and the new Real World Champ as I actuallt beat Punk'

I would do Joe vs Ricky instead, let them tear each other apart on the mic this Saturday, also if they want to let Joe do a shoot promo like that time he did in TNA when Scott Hall no showed a PPV

Bryan just now on WOL:

"I don't want to speak in riddles" he says, in the midst of speaking in riddles.

He literally changes tense partway through it.

Tbf reports suggests he had quite the weekend and isn't really in any state to be reporting on this nonsense.

Even if it were a fresh match it feels like a serious mistake having your PPV headlined by a match exclusively built up on a show a quarter of your audience doesn't watch.

Somehow Moxley ends up with the belt

Tony Schiavone: It can get a little crazy backstage at times.

Conrad Thompson: Really?!? I hadn't heard that...

For maximum chaos have Jungle Boy burn that title belt in a trash can and absorb Punk’s powers in which he just all the way steals his gimmick and takes the crazy paranoid Punk gimmick to TV when he comes back.

That should get Pepsi Man spoiling to fight.
