GarethRDR Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Anyway asking the real big question from last night... did Sue really pay the congestion/low emission charge just to bring her boys some home-baked treats? Babyface move of the year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I thought the stadium Stampede match was a utter mess. The weakest of the night for me. Any of you going next year? I had a great time so think ill be going 2024. I might try get ones on the floor this time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I likely won't be going to all All In 2024. I didn't go to this years All In. I was going to, but I remembered that I prefer the TV presentation over the atmosphere of being there live. Back in the day I went to WWF Insurrextion 2000 and 2001 at Earls Court in London which was fun, but each time I felt like I was missing something and the atmosphere wasn't making up for it. So, during Insurrextion 2001 I realised I'd probably be having more fun sat at home watching it on Sky Box Office with a large pepperoni pizza. Not sure I'll ever go to another wrestling event live even though All In did look fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 As I said to Gareth (virtually! Shame the VT meetup didn't happen, next year I'd really try and get there earlier and leave later) it was the quickest 6 hours of my life I think, great entertainment from start to finish. Next show for me will probably be Royal Quest 3 at the Copper Box in October, great great arena for wrestling. In a parellel to the All Out event, it takes place just a few days after Dominion though, which itself is a big show in Japan. No clue what the card will be yet, but it'll be worth going just to see Gabe Kidd acting like an utter mad man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 CM Punk and Jack Perry are reportedly suspended pending the results of an investigation, which will mean neither will be working All Out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats put me off abit going next year. it was great fun but i get your point. I You get a greater experience prob from home. I mean i could see the ring but i was sat at a angle of the ring and one of the pillars blocked alot of the view which was annoying. I think ill only go next year if i can floor seats. I think after the success this year next year it will be just as big as there is alot of aew fans here clearly. They really need to do a WM here. We would sell it out with double the capacity of Wembley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they want to bring it to the UK, but there are a limited number of event slots at Wembley each year, and there is every chance that AEW are making All In a yearly event to keep WWE out of Wembley. We might also be waiting a while for WWE to make any plans for WrestleMania in the UK. I think the next three locations for WrestleMania are Philadelphia (2024), Minneapolis (2025), and Las Vegas (2026). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegas has turned into a proper shit hole now. Its dirty, full of homeless and **** expensive as hell. You would have to be a die hard wrwstling fan to do a 2night ecent there. As for WM in london i think they should try a Summerslam or survivor series. Hell why not even a royal rumble! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The time zone wouldnt help either, AEW for all its hype is nowhere near a Wrestlemania level of show. You can get away with an odd event but not a monster like this One of the reasons I think Wembley hasnt had a Super Bowl yet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldnt see them doing that unfortunately Yeah your right about RR didnt think about weather. Fans will still go though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Apparently CM punk was nit hapiy when he got to london as no car was waiting for him and the cab number privided for him was not correct. So he ended up getting the tube and fans had to help get to where he wanted to go. What a shambles aew is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 On the one hand it's a shame that there wasn't a car there to pick him up, but on the other hand at least AEW tries as WWE don't provide cars to pick up wrestlers. If WWE did an event in the UK then every wrestler on the card is paying for their own flight, paying for their own transport once on the ground, and paying for their own hotel. The fact that there being no car was an annoyance for CM Punk tells us how different AEW and WWE are. If this was WWE then CM Punk wouldn't be annoyed because he wouldn't be expecting a car, but AEW do things differently and on this occasion something went wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminds me of the story of Ted Dibiase in the 80s and 90s. I haven't verified this but it's a pretty widespread story. Apparently whilst most of the other wrestlers had to travel coach everywhere and ride share and share rooms etc, DiBiase went everywhere first class, got limos, stayed in hotel suites etc. Kayfabe was so important and still so protected that the WWF couldn't let the Million Dollar Man be seen to be travelling economy as it wouldn't make sense when he was supposedly so rich. So he got to travel in the lap of luxury and everyone else was left to fend for themselves 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame that such a gimmick wouldn't really work today as wrestling fans have long since separated the characters from the human playing the character, but I'm glad there was a time where kayfabe was allowed to thrive in such a way. We've lost a lot thanks to the Internet and social media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 If Punk has to forfeit his "real" world championship because of suspension, when he comes back is he going to debut his "really real" world championship? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Have to say the ppv all in had a much better card than the wwe oayback one on sunday. It looks like a very lame ppv This weekend aew and wwe both have ppvs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
