I think the only match I would have rather seen was Ospreay vs Orange. Its time for Orange to drop the title and Ospreay would be a good one to keep it elevated. And being at Wembley, defending the International Title makes sense.

Reminder this is at noon on Sunday
4 hour show. Don’t know if that includes the Buy In, which I’m assuming no, so more like 5.

Tony says they're going to add more matches for All In this week. *sigh* I don't like that. They really overload these shows too much. Pay per views should never have filler, and too many of AEW's do. Just being honest. Nine matches is perfect. |

Yeah the stadium is damn near sold out, you have a PPV literally the next week. Don’t oversaturate the show with meaningless matches.
A strong 4 hour show would be great
Sincerely,
the guy who has to recap it

How do you not have all of this stuff worked out already? This is why AEW ends up looking like the minor leagues.

Fozzy is playing Judas live before Jericho’s match The worst thing to ever happen to AEW was the crowd starting to sing along with Judas. When the heel wrestlers did it during the pandemic, it was neat. MJF not knowing the words was perfect. That's where it should have ended. Instead it's basically the WHAT chant now. |

I mean there’s a solution to this, at least for that show.
Ospreay attacks during the entrance and trashes the stage. Of course Ospreay doesn’t get his big entrance then.
Jericho should’ve switched his entrance music when he was a heel. Now that he’s back to being a babyface, the crowd will just keep singing it.
The sound of Wembley singing along will be cool, but I ultimately agree.

This type of stuff has been happening wrestling for damn near 40+ years right? This isn't the first tome something like this has happened. Its as much on him (more so) than the company. |

I saw someone on Twitter suggest adding Statlander and Mercedes Martinez to the Stadium Stampede match. I love that idea.
Then you can have the TBS Title match at All Out the following week.

Very organized events can become chaotic for this reason. It does seem inexcusable, but things happen. |

If its visa related, he probably thought he had one or thought he could turn one around quickly. AEW HR (if thats a thing) probably hounded him about it for weeks and he said, oh yea, i'll get that documentation over to ya....and then he just never got it done, never had it, or was surprised when he realized he didnt have it for THAT country. I'd rather focus on if they have enough of a diversified selection of merch at the event! haha

I’ll be legit bummed if we don’t see a sea of Orange Cassidy orange foam thumbs like we did Macho Man foam fingers at Summerslam 92. They need to have merch in order because that’s millions of dollars on the table.
I’m also wondering how backstage will be like tonight on Dynamite, since they’re taping Collision too. So The Elite’s side and Punk’s ego are in the same building. So one would assume the guys who Punk had kicked out of the building will be there too (Daniels, Hangman, maybe Ryan Nemeth, I’m not sure if Matt Hardy was one of the names Punk booted)
It’s all still so wild to me.

I know you didn’t compare the people but there still was a macho man/orange Cassidy type comparison that made me puke.

Trent’s mom Sue is there in London. If they don’t have her drive Chuck & Trent at least out to the stage in a van with the drivers seat on the opposite side, what a missed opportunity.

Supposed to be rainy in London tomorrow. Hopefully it's early and by the time the show starts it's nice.

I’d have MJF retain somehow and do the Cole turn and title switch at All Out. Wembley itself it the big thing, All Out can be the start to your next feud with Cole as heel champ and MJF face chasing.
I want Britt to win the womens title tomorrow though. Time to turn her heel at All Out too. Then when Hayter comes back she can feud with her.

Happy All In London day fellas. Pre-show starts at 11, main show should go until 4-4:30. Full up to minute recap available on F4WOnline (#companyman) and then I Flair flop at 4:45. Do it all over again next weekend!
My picks
MJF (see previous post on why)
Ospreay (hometown win needs to happen)
The Bucks (only because I don't know with the Cash legal stuff)
Golden Elite (Juice taking a pin wouldn't hurt future singles matches)
BCC (they need it more)
Punk (I want Joe to win, but Punk/Starks seems like the next logical title feud)
Britt (though I could see Shida retaining and Britt winning at All Out)
Darby/Sting (no way they're losing)
Acclaimed/Billy (third title shot, it needs to happen and HOB do more than trios stuff)
