Yeah, I'm now fully sold on watching this show after watching SmackDown. Hot crowds absolutely make shows. Backlash Puerto Rico was absolutely brilliant and the French seem every bit as enthusiastic. I'm fine with the card as it is, I think AJ and Cody will have a banger. Sami and Bronson will be great with that crowd. I'm looking forward to seeing the new Bloodline in an actual match too.

Sami Vs Bronson happened on RAW & as far as I know hasn’t been announced for Backlash

I’m nearly sure I heard Tony Schiavone say at one point during commentary on Collision that it was going to be Adam Copeland Vs Buddy Matthews even though they were still advertising it before & after as ‘Vs. A Member of the HOB’

I thought it was a very tedious show for the most part and has sapped the small amount of enthusiasm I had recently built up for WWE. 

One thing that stood out to me that I usually miss from watching highlights - so much of the show is taken up by entrances and video packages. Now WWE video packages are nothing new so I should've expected that, but the entrance thing - it seemed like 75% of this show was people coming down the ramp! I was falling asleep waiting for all the entrances to take place during the EC matches and the Waller segment. They just went on and on and on.

I was reading something that said out of the 4.5 hours (including pre-show) there was only about 1 hour 50 of in-ring action.

Also not sure if it’s been mentioned but apparently Bronson Reed was scheduled to face Seth Rollins for the World Title before Seth’s injury.

I personally can't believe that Roman was on smackdown and did that final run in for the finish of the main event but didn't get in there and speak about the rock and what was said at all on raw. Not at all what we have seen from Roman his entire reign and personally it doesn't come off great with him ignoring it completely.

Isn't it? Doesn't he leave that kind of shit to Paul Heyman?

He posted 🤣on Twitter after it. He thinks it's laughable. Plus it's not like The Rock actually came out and challenged him. It was a vague thing that popped the crowd and got people talking. That's all.

Roman ain't wasting his time on that.

Also on the SmackDown opening when he arrives, Kayla asked him what he thought of what The Rock said on RAW but you didn’t really hear the question as the microphone wasn’t working & he just walked off laughing.

It’s on my Sky TV guide that it’s being shown as normal

I'm sure they said the top 2 of each league would face off with the winners facing at Worlds End.

Yes this is what I got from how they explained it during commentary on Dynamite.

THIS is going to be Ziggler.

Think I read previously his 90 days isn’t up until January

I was reading that the 'Superfan - The Story Of Vladimir' documentary has finally been released for anyone that's interested

Remember reading recently after SmackDown was confirmed to be going to USA that it was very possible it could be extended to 3 hours.

In addition to All Out this weekend, WWE also have Payback on Saturday:

Seth Rollins Vs Shinsuke Nakamura (WHC)

Sami Zayn/Kevin Owens Vs Judgment Day (Tag Titles - Street Fight)

Becky Lynch Vs Trish Stratus (Cage Match)

Rey Mysterio Vs Austin Theory (US Title)

Rhea Ripley Vs Raquel Rodriguez (Women’s WC)

The Miz Vs LA Knight

Also The Grayson Waller Effect with Cody Rhodes

Possible match that might be added. Helps if you've seen Rampage. Which gives you a sense it ain't a major thing.

  Reveal hidden contents

Kris Statlander v. Ruby Soho

Ruby called out Statlander on Dynamite. Then on Rampage Statlander picked up and removed Ruby from ringside to stop interference.

 

Can see it being added to All Out instead

We'll be getting a couple more for the pre show won't we? 100 man Battle royal with virgil winning please

Nearly sure someone (maybe MJF?) said something about it being the only match on the pre show. And think there’s only been one match on the most recent pre shows other than Forbidden Door.

AEW President Tony Khan spoke about All In at the media call for this weekend's Double or Nothing pay-per-view, and he shared some nuggets of information about how people can watch the event. He confirmed that the event will be available to watch in some capacity, but he's still figuring out the logistics of it all.

"I cannot completely give a full answer to that yet. I think it's a fine thing to ask, but we're still working on the solution to that event and how we're going to offer it. I think it's going to be, to date, the biggest event we've ever had in AEW. And right now, it's tracking to be the biggest wrestling event ever in England, which is pretty amazing for such a massive country with a massive population and a great history of pro wrestling over many decades."

Khan went on to say that he hopes to have more answers about the company's broadcasting plans for All In soon; however, right now, he feels there are lots of things that need to be taken into account. "All In is certainly very much on our radar going forward," he added.

The Elite aren’t scheduled to be there.

Who is the blonde woman in the qtv segment? She looks familiar and I can't work out where from 

No one asked but I read the other guy who isn’t QT, Aaron Solo, RJ City or Hobbs is one of Tony Schiavone’s sons

‘Rise & Fall’, a new reality show from the creators of The Traitors starts on Channel 4 on Sunday:

Noticed on Rampage that they kept referring to the Iron Man match as the main event which would suggest going on last although think it makes more sense to go on first unless somethings happening after, even saw an interview with Bryan saying he’d prefer to be the first match.

So why not have Best Friends and OC team with someone rather than randomly chucking Acclaimed and Billy Gunn in for no real reason? 

The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn were involved at the end of Rampage, coming out for the save to help OC & Best Friends.

It’s coming back…

I know @Monkee was going to post about I'm A Celeb but this just popped up and seemed worth discussing:

WHAT THE FUCK IS HE DOING?

He’s also part of the next series of SAS Who Dares Wins to air next year which should be … interesting
