Ok so confession time and to show how terrible my music knowledge is: When I first heard that at All In last year, I thought "Huh, weird they had a rip off of the old WWE UK PPV themes for this show" when it now just turns out those were the rip off themes the whole time! Then there's this one from No Way Out 2001 (assuming it's not the same theme): www.youtube.com/watch?v=__nQ93mjP_kThey're absolutely the same theme, which makes me realizing it more bonkers.

Badass All IN graphic for Danielson/Swerve Mohamed Fahmy is basically AEW's secret weapon in terms of making some of the most badass looking PPV posters ever. These ones coming through are no exception.

The build to Danielson/Swerve has improved the last couple of weeks, but man, I wish they'd started with this earlier.
I get the story: Danielson's been on a "just happy to be in the moment as my full time career winds down, let's have some dream matches!" run, and Swerve doesn't want that from him, he wants to cement his legacy by beating the Best in the World with Dragon at the top of his game. Jarrett got involved in this given how much the Owen tournament meant to him, prodding Danielson to "go all in", Dragon did so, but even then he's still not acting like a killer yet, so Swerve took this week to bring that out of him.
But again, I think they could've started this earlier and made it more explicit: Danielson's trying to say he's a fully actualized person, he can just live for the moment, but Swerve wants him down in the mud and ready to fight to the bitter end, or else a win over him won't mean nearly as much. A few more weeks of really laying this story out would've given it more juice, so while I think they've come around to something better, they could've gotten some more good TV leading up to All In out of it.
Meantime, yeah, I'm just glad the Tag Title match likely ends up a 3-way; I know I'm usually against 3-ways for titles, but they've done a decent job of making this a 3-team feud where all feel like they have a reason to dislike one another, and the Bucks are just great at laying out multi-team craziness, anyway. Wouldn't mind a surprise fourth team showing up, but I guess too much of that division is in flux right now.

I know there's 0% chance that Danielson will be on Collision tomorrow, but I think Eddie would genuinely be the perfect person to give additional heat to Swerve/Danielson tomorrow. Though I think Danielson is God in his own way and will make it work as we saw the last few days, Eddie is just someone with a magic touch of making something work with one promo (the Punk/Eddie feud had two weeks of build and was one of the most heated feuds in the company's history still).

I'm really pleased that Jericho v Hook is happening at All In since I can't stand either so will be able to use that match to go and get food. Efficient time management. Ha I had the same thought I think they’ll need to give the match 20 mins though so everyone else who has the same idea has time to get their stuff

So, due to "production changes" we've been moved from section 527 in the nosebleeds to section 102 instead. I'm not complaining.

I was nervous about ordering the All In/All Out package off of Triller because my usual payment method was failing in trying to do other things last week, but it all went smoothly! Now I'm all good to go

I would've loved to see a promotional trailer for All In using this poster's imagery.

Raise your hand if you actually thought the tag titles wouldn't be a triple threat

Raise your hand if you actually thought the tag titles wouldn't be a triple threat Having a triple threat tag title match and a 4 way trios ladder match is overkill. They were also basically set up the same way, which is lazy booking. I know TK likes to get as many people as possible on the card, but we didn't need redundancy. We especially didn't need a 4th trios team that isn't part of the on going title feud.

We especially didn't need a 4th trios team that isn't part of the on going title feud. Pretty sure the fourth trios team is gonna be Death Triangle, who were supposed to be in this match to begin with before Lucha Bros got gung ho about WWE and screwed PAC out of a Wembley moment. So I really don't mind it if it's them at all and they worked something out As for them happening the exact same way, I don't really agree. Christian screwed both teams with shady reffing and attacking the teams to cause a double countout. Acclaimed/FTR just went to a straight up draw after FTR/Acclaimed's rivalry reached a new high on Dynamite. This is the one PPV where Khan SHOULD be getting as many people on the card as possible imo, and the matches should be grand and insane, it's Wembley, it's their biggest crowd of the year and for some of these wrestlers the biggest crowd of their lives to date, there'd be more people angry if people were left off the card then extra participants in certain contests tbh
