Mega, had a great time. Some banger matches, great moments, fun returns and debuts.

Think that’s the best Wembley All In by some distance, in terms of match quality, surprises, borderline sycophantic fan service. Even think they got the pacing despite being 4 and half hrs plus the preshow.
Don’t think they’ll run it again til 2028 with the reduced attendance and Dynasty announced for Liverpool next year instead, but it looked pretty fucking huge to me so they sorted that out too.
Rake of bangers, extremely good vibes, makes the confusing build all worth it really.

However wafty the build, AEW always seem to pull it together for the PPVs, it’s pretty impressive, especially when you compare to some of the WWE ones where sometimes there’s precisely zero matches of interest

Seen this described as AEW’s WrestleMania III. Can’t help but agree really. Hope it gets a bunch of eyes on it when it airs on ITV.

Not a huge amount to add to what’s already been said. All In was tremendous fun. My girlfriend hasn’t watched wrestling since the 90s but has been watching the shows recently so she’s au fait with it for All In. She is now hooked after Sunday.
I was in the front row of the top tier and the view was decent!

Finally fully caught up on All In. My highlights.
Okada/Takeshita/Fletcher was a perfect triple-threat from that opening kick through to the finish. That blue thunder on Fletcher was absolutely huge.
Piledriver party.
Willow/Mercedes was excellent - hard-hitting and they told a good story.
Ospreay/Omega was as good a match as I’ve seen even with the outcome being telegraphed months in advance. Kenny played his role to perfection - they may not bother with stories in general, but they nailed turning him into at least a situational heel from being a pure babyface when he won it. Christ, that tiger driver though 
Like I guess they’re doing what they feel comfortable with and they used the move to tell a story, but still 
Ospreay is just otherworldly in the ring - obviously he’s not the most interesting on the mic, but for that match in that venue he was exactly the character that was needed. Really good stuff.

Looking forward to the traditional dumpster fire post-ppv Dynamite if only to find out where the world title goes now. Only 1 match announced, the new level lads going over the Rascalz.
Darby will bring back the TNT invitational immediately I’d expect, too early to expect Ilja?
Currently the living embodiment of the fella in that meme where his partner is like hmmm i bet he’s thinking about other women or whatever and inside my little thought bubble is Ospreay’s entrance

Would be surprised if he turns up in Texas tonight but fair play if he does.
Only 3 weeks to All Out but think they can just throw everyone into a big tag title ladder war if they’re short on matches tbh and it’d do great business by itself.

Rushing the FTR/Bucks/E&C TLC match AND Ospreay/Mox for All Out, fair fucks, but bloody hell.

Keep the hype train going
Was hoping for a bigger, sillier match, but it looks like MCMG will be collision cowboys
Me too, if only to get more bodies to spread out the bumps. Shovel Private Party and Rascalz in, jobs a good un. But keeping it to the big names probably drives the hype more tbh, no shade on MCMG.
I hope Andy Williams is alright but it doesn’t sound good. Seems to have had some sort of heart issue and required the defibrillator at an indie show
