I'm sorry if you think All In Wembley's card is not 'Good Enough'
I honestly am, because you must really be finding ways to make sure you're disappointed in the event.
Let me remind you that the original All In had MJF vs Matt Cross (fka Son of Havoc in Lucha Underground), Flip Gordon vs Lethal, Okada (and not Rainmaker Okada, red dye and party balloons Okada) vs Marty Scurll, Hangman vs Janela (followed by grown men in dick outfits coming out so Joey Ryan could show up), Omega vs Penta, and CD vs Stephen Amell. All this on the main card while SCU vs the Briscoes were on the pre-show. If AEW did something like that today for a PPV it'd be ripped to shreds on paper, especially since some matches were announced with little to no build, but it was the best wrestling show of that year and is still a pivotal and momentous event in wrestling history.
So I'm sorry that you didn't get Omega/Ospreay III because New Japan likely want it for Wrestle Kingdom, I'm sorry early reports of Omega being in a trios match (against two men he brought into the limelight, including a faction he once led, and teaming with his closest friend/lover and his former tag partner who he was champion with) and Ospreay/Jericho turned out to be true, I'm sorry you're getting Punk, Joe, Adam Cole, the Elite, FTR, Kota Ibushi, Jay White, Eddie Kingston, the BCC, Hikaru Shida, Toni Storm, Sting, Chris Jericho, Will Ospreay and more on a single show - which has already had to deal with injuries to Bryan Danielson, PAC and Jamie Hayter - and you still think it's not enough, but that's a you problem.
Also stop with this 'no build' nonsense; multiple storylines have been built from segments over the past few months, Eddie vs Claudio started in March for christ's sake.

Figuring out Adams' new team because it's killing me and I make charts to cope:
Confirmed: Irey West, Jai West, Maxine Baker
Strongly hinted at: Cerdian of Shayeris, Robert Long
Very likely: Lian Harper, Mar'i Grayson, Kathy Branden
Potentially one of: Maps Mizoguchi, Mara al Ghul, Maya Ducard, Tiffany Fox, Sin Lance
Potentially one of (but unlikely): Tai Pham, Keli Quintela, Milagro Reyes
Potentially (but unlikely): Otho-Ra & Osul-Ra OR Chris Kent
Unlikely: Colin Wilkes, Johnny Tyler, Helen Jordan, Rani Carter
(Reminder: the # of kids will likely be 6-8)
#additional reminder: Adams isn't allowed to use Damian or Jon#okay final thoughts#blue for meta orange for alien green for gl and red for no powers#top two are set#third row are all extremely strong contenders#i think ONE of the red line picks could be in it as well. especially if he isn't allowed to use Lian#the bottom three lines? i would be shocked#Keli or Tai i could see. but people famously didn't like Keli and using Tai when he's under the creative control of another writer is...#it might not fly. and milagro isn't actually a gl. thats fanon#so that whole line just. is extremely unlikely.#the kent twins are in the superfam book and idk that theyd share creative control tbh#and adding chris kent back into canon after Clark adopted two other kids and the superfam is doing a whole series?#can't see editorial being okay with that#colins powers aren't really team oriented. johnny would be the third speedster on the team. helen doesn't have powers or training#and Rani... well actually idk. Gold Beetle would probably be related to Rani but... nah GB is endgame for Jai#they wouldn't put Rani and GB into Jai's storyline#imo? max 8 kids. there are already five.#so you can mix and match three other kids.#(keeping in mind that you will probably need at least one red)#tbh Sin is a very strong contender if he can't use Lian because he personally likes Sin a lot.#if Mar'i can't be used then Maps or Tiffany cause the bat rep#Kathy is just a strong contender all around. powers? check. right age? check. suit? check. experience? check. blank slate writing wise? yep#plus Adams knows about her which is half the battle#Maya would go with Kathy though. they are a package deal#oof#this is my last time posting about this i swear.... for today#going a little insane over the possibilities because this is kinda everything ive ever wanted/dreamed about#and having this actually happen would be insane#dc#dc comics

AEW Dynamite 4/17/24
Moxley comes out to open the show with the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, and I throw up in my mouth. He says people have always tried to tell him what he can and can't do, and he says kiss my ass and watch me. He can't even say the full name of the championship, but says he has been chasing it for 5 years. He says a lot of BS about what's inside him. He mentions the Don Callis Family targeting Danielson. He says they are welcome to come fight him. He challenges Hobbs to a match next week. He says there are a lot of great wrestlers, but there will only ever be one Jon Moxley. And I say thank god for that!!!!! What an awful way to open the show. Just cringe-inducing.
Mercedes does a backstage promo. She mentions being attacked last week in the dark, and says the dark is a little too familiar. She didn't picture Julia to be such a coward. Or maybe it was someone else who wants her to think it was Julia. So she is putting the whole women's division on notice.
Adam Copeland and Willow Nightingale vs. Brody King and Julia Hart -- Copeland enters. The screen shows Willow being checked on by a doctor, after seemingly being attacked backstage. The lights go out and Brody jumps Copeland. Brody lands a running cross body to Copeland into the barricade. Brody dominates with suplexes and chops. Copeland finally turns it around with lariats and boots in the corner, then lands an impaler DDT for two. Copeland lands a blockbuster off the second rope and goes for a spear, but Brody stops it with a lariat. Willow comes out! She tags in with a cross body to Brody, then Copeland spears Brody. Willow lands the corner cannonball senton on Brody. Then Julia comes in from behind with a steel chain to Willow's face, then locks in Hartless for the pinfall.
This was fine. It wasn't much of a match, but it made its point well enough. Rating: 2.25
Mercedes comes out with a chair to even the odds! Julia takes off. Mercedes and Willow/Copeland face each other. Copeland shakes Mercedes' hand.
Samoa Joe sits down with Renee. Joe says he did see Swerve as a worthy adversary, but now he sees him as more of a nuisance. Swerve keeps standing up after Joe knocks him down, and that doesn't seem like a pre-requisite to a champion, it seems like a pre-requisite to a punching bag. Swerve has come up short for every championship he has challenged for. History will repeat itself at Dynasty. Swerve is a choke artist, but he won't have to worry about it at Dynasty, because Joe will choke him instead. Nice! Great stuff from Joe as usual!
Bucks and Okada promo! The Bucks say they perfected the ladder match and will become the first three time AEW World Tag Champs at Dynasty. Okada says Pac won't make it to Dynasty. He is a dead man.
Kazuchika Okada and The Young Bucks vs. Pac, Penta El Zero Miedo, and Daniel Garcia -- Stereo leg drop/moonsault combination by Penta and Pac on Nick. Garcia lands a beautiful butterfly suplex on Nick. Okada trips Garcia from outside and drags him out, then Nick lands a running PK to Garcia from the apron. Matt is talking on the mic while wrestling. God. Garcia lands a back suplex on Matt. Pac lands beautiful, rebounding snap German suplexes on both Bucks off the ropes, then a double missile dropkick off the top, then a moonsault off the top to the outside! Triple team enziguris and back elbow by the Bucks and Okada on Pac in the corner. Okada lands a neckbreaker on the knee on Pac for two. Penta comes in with Made in Japan on Okada for two! Pac with a nice slingshot cutter over the ropes on Matt! Pac lands a huge thrust kick to take Okada down. Pac goes for the Black Arrow, but Matt takes him off the top rope, and he tumbles down on his head. Okada lands a dropkick on Garcia. Garcia gets jacknife pin on Okada for two! Double corner enziguris by the Bucks on Garcia, then a tombstone by Okada! Penta comes in and Okada lands a Tombstone on him as well! Double superkicks by the Bucks, then Rainmaker by Okada on Garcia!! Okada covers Garcia for the pinfall.
This was a good, fun match. Solid action from all involved. I could have done without the some of the Bucks' nonsense here, which is weird, because I'm usually into it. But Matt talking on the mic during the match took me out of it a little bit. Lol. Rating: 3.25
The Bucks attack Garcia after the match with an EVP-trigger. They try to sandwich him in between a ladder, but Pac comes out swinging with a hammer, and they run off!!!! Nice!!!!!
Jericho and Hook enter into the ring with Taz. Jericho says Hook isn't listening to him. Everyone who has gone into the Jericho vortex has come out the other side a better performer, wrestler, and person. He knows he can get Hook to the top. What does Hook say? Hook eats chips while he talks. Loool. Hook says no. Jericho says what does he mean no? Taz tries to get involved, but Jericho gets angry. He says he is just doing what Taz should have done 30 years ago. Excalibur says on commentary that Hook is not 30 years old. Lmao. Jericho says Hook is not as good as he thinks he is. He is not there yet. Taz tries to interrupt. Jericho shoves Taz to the ground!! Hook shoves Jericho into the corner and grabs him by throat! Hook says, "You wanna see how good I am? I'll show you again, any time, any place anywhere. Now get out of my ring." Okay, Hook!!! Damn!! Lol. I enjoyed this, from Jericho's nonsense to Hook's intensity.
Renee sits down with Swerve and asks him to respond to Joe's comments. He says Joe is not wrong. He has stumbled throughout his career, but he has always fallen forward into success. He's been put in a coffin, he has taken a chain to the face and has been bloodied, but he always gets back up. Renee asks if he can defeat Joe. Swerve says he should be answering that to Joe himself and he will later tonight.
Deonna Purrazzo vs. Mariah May -- They trade some elbows. Deonna grabs an arm bar, but Mariah gets to the rope. Deonna lays Mariah out with a big pump kick for two. Mariah with a headbutt, hip attack, and tornado DDT for two. Mariah goes for her finisher, but Deonna reverses and gets a quick roll up for the pinfall. Didn't love this. Rating: 2.25
Thunder Rosa comes out after the match, lays Storm out, and puts lipstick all over her face.
Bullet Club Gold are with Renee backstage. Jay talks about recent events with the Acclaimed and Billy Gunn. He says everyone can see how much better off the Gunns are with Papa Blade than Daddy Ass. Lmao. They challenge them to a winner take all titles vs. titles trios match.
Billy Gunn and the Acclaimed promo. Billy says he has already beaten the life out of Jay, and he has been beating those other two since they were little kids. They accept the title match challenge.
Shane Taylor vs. Orange Cassidy -- Taylor blocks a DDT attempt and hangs Orange over the ropes and lands a stunner! Taylor with big overhand chops, abdomen shots, a headbutt, and an apron leg drop! Orange lands a thrust kick. Taylor with a huge right hand that takes Orange down!! Orange goes to the top, but Moriarty and Ogogo grab his legs to slow him, and Taylor grabs him off the top by the throat. Orange tries for the tornado DDT, but Taylor blocks and goes for something of his own, but Orange reverses into a stunner! Orange goes for an Orange Punch, but Taylor ducks it and lands a big lariat for two! Orange tries for the Beach Break but can't get Taylor up. Knee by Taylor! Orange Punch by Orange!!!! Right hand by Taylor!!!! Orange comes back with another Orange Punch for three!!!!
I enjoyed that match. Very good back and forth. Taylor was great here. Rating: 3
STP attack Orange after the match. Ogogo lands the abdomen punch. Daniels and Sydal try to make the save, but Trent stops them and hurls a chair at Sydal's head! Shane Taylor lands a right hand to the face of Orange, and Moriarty locks in the Border City stretch.
Claudio Castagnoli vs. Will Ospreay -- Claudio lands a big running uppercut right after the bell for two!! Ospreay goes for something, but Claudio reverses and lands a backbreaker on the knee for two. Ospreay lands a rana off the ropes, then chops outside and a flying forearm off the barricade outside. Claudio blocks a springboard attempt and lands a double stomp! Claudio lands a backbreaker on the knee. Ospreay with a bead scissors takedown, then springboards over the ropes, but Claudio catches him and just hurls him down back-first on the apron! Claudio with kicks to the back, then a diving uppercut to the back for two. Ospreay vaults off Claudio with a backflip, then lands an enziguri, a rebounding handspring back kick, a boot in the corner, and a springboard forearm for two. Claudio blocks a Tiger Driver attempt and lands an uppercut. Ospreay with a backslide for two. Ospreay locks in a Sharpshooter, but Claudio reverses into one of his own, then transitions into a cross face with the arm trapped. Claudio springboards off the ropes, but Ospreay meets him with a thrust kick, then lands a Tiger Driver for two! Claudio takes his fingers to the eyes and pummels Ospreay with strikes in the corner, then lands a big lariat for two! Claudio lands an uppercut, but Ospreay kips right back up to his feet and lands an enziguri! Series of counters! Ospreay reverses a Ricola Bomb attempt into a tight pinning combo for two! Claudio reverses an OsCutter attempt, catching Ospreay on his shoulders in a torture rack, then slamming him down to the mat (interverted DVD?) for two! Ospreay lands a Spanish Fly for two! Ospreay goes for the Hidden Blade, but Claudio stops it with a pop-up uppercut for two! Claudio gets Ospreay in position for the Giant Swing, but Ospreay escapes by curling up into a DDT!! Damn! Core strength! Ospreay lands a Cancun Tornado off the top for two! Ospreay finally lands a Hidden Blade for the pinfall!
This was a great match, featuring a nice match up of Ospreay's speed vs. Claudio's power (and speed of his own). They did some awesome counters here too. There wasn't a lot of drama to it for me, as the result was clear, but the action was great. But I don't think I'm as high on it as most people seem to be. Rating: 3.75
Takeshita, Hobbs, and Fletcher gang up on Claudio after the match. Moxley comes to his aid. Ospreay isupset at the rest of the Callis Family for getting involved. Strange dynamic here, as Claudio does some heel stuff in the match with Ospreay, but then the Callis Family does heel stuff to Claudio after the match. Ospreay is apparently a babyface while the rest of his stable are heels, which is really strange. I imagine this has to go the way of Ospreay leaving the Callis Family soon.
Swerve comes out with a mic. He says he was asked how he is going to beat Joe. He says he already knocked Joe on his ass and made him scurry like a little bitch. That showed him everything he needed to see. The fear. The fact that Joe knows Swerve can beat him for the championship. He calls for Joe to come out so he can talk to him face to face. Joe comes out, but security is holding him back. Swerve lands the stomp off the top to the security guards on the outside and gets in Joe's face! In the ring, Swerve lands the House Call and sets up for the stomp off the top on Joe. But Joe gets back up and lands a Muscle Buster!!! The show ends with Joe standing over Swerve on the mat with his title in the air.
This was a nice closing segment and a great note to end on before Dynasty for these two.

JUST A GREAT HEADS UP THAT IF YOU WANT THE BOOK "CUTTING PROMOS" WRESTLING ERASURE POEMS BETTER GO GET IT NOW. JOSH ONLY HAS 40 LEFT OUT OF 160 PRINTS. CONSIDER GETTING ONE THE LAST ONES. GUYS. ESPECIALLY IF YOUVE BEEN ON THE FENCE ABT IT.
this link is there but just in case: buy the cool wrestling poetry here
Tumblr media Tumblr media
something wonderfully important has happened! my "wrestling dad" josh shepard got his book of wrestling erasure poems published & it is up for sale (either 10$ or "name a fair price"). this is incredibly important to me as im one of the first people to have gotten the privilege to read these poems as josh wrote them. josh is incredibly important to me as a friend, he is the guy who introduced me to wrestling & gave me a deep, unrestricted passion for it.
josh is so fucking talented, & creative. he is also my favorite poet, not just bc he's my friend. the book's flow is dedicated to the flow of a wrestling match, following all the hallmarks (the lock up, big heat, the comeback, ect) with the themes of his poems to create a match like narrative for the book.
there are like three specific poems in the batch that i want tattooed on me, a stone cold one, a mick foley one, & a briscoe brother's piece. the aj lee pipebomb poem moved me to actual tears, even when i read it now. the macho man poem abt being bipolar struck me so hard i rethought my own feeling on my mental health. josh pushes impressive themes of capitalism, mental health, poverty, & family theoughout many of his poems. i know ive got a few wrestling fans here, & if you're also into poetry please considered josh's work. or just if you want to support a friend of mine.
a cool way to support josh's work is by requesting it at your local library! even suggesting to bookstores that have poetry sections or interacting with the work thats already published. following/reposting josh's work for exposure also is great.
bruiser zine said this:
The second volume in the BRUISER Zines series, Cutting Promos is a collection of pro wrestling erasure poems by the Oklahoma City poet Josh Shepard. Printed and assembled in Baltimore, this limited edition zine collects 26 poems previously published in BRUISER, HAD, The Daily Drunk and many other fine publications.
After being laid off at the onset of the pandemic, Shepard found comfort and inspiration in the glow of professional wrestling and its performers—their violent struggles, fighting spirit, and electric language—and from their speeches and promos that have inspired wrestling fans across the globe he delivers Cutting Promos, a collection of erasures that echoes the personalities, pursuits and perseverance of pro wrestling’s greatest, standing as a testament to life lived during Hard Times and deliverance through them.
[ IN CASE YOU MISSED THE LINK ABOVE TO BUY JOSH'S BOOK ] [ JOSH'S TWITTER | INSTA | LINKTR.EE* ] *a lot of the links don't work bc the publications went under :( but there's still quiet a few up for free here
support my kayfabe father!!! i watched him turn his hard times into beautiful pieces. even in the beginning when he only had 3 or 4, before he even thought he could make the book i saw his passion for these pieces. i was there for every heart wrenching rejection letter & every hard earned spot. every time he was working late at the library sending me new ideas bc he couldn't watch dynamite. every single wrestling poem josh has written has now been published & that is a huge success. he puts in the work like a wrestler puts in the work in the ring. hard hitting, gritty, & beautiful.

My Highlights from AEW Double or Nothing 2023
Tumblr media
We did Night of Champions now it's AEW's turn to do the big PPV. While people will say it wasn't built well (something they said last year if I recall) there's a lot of potentially great wrestling matches on the card, so let's see how it went down on the night and list out the positives.
Note: because of growing disinterest and lack of time on my bank holiday I won't be doing NXT Battleground that aired at the same time, sorry about that
Spoilers for the PPV
Buy-In
Paul Wight looking to Stokely when Renee said the 'biggest big man', their rapport was great too we could put them as a commentary team...if we still had Dark/Elevation
RJ's interview with Arn was funny too
The Gunns didn't have the same music but I do like that they kept the spotlight entrance
Gonna sound weird, but it's good to see HOOK sell, of course doing several squashes can help you grow a reputation but if you can't sell you're only doing half the work
It's smart that the Owen is finishing in Calgary this year, I wonder who is in it though
Main Show
Kip going straight for OC is clever and fits continuity, also it was smart that Bandido made the save given his affiliation with Best Friends
Swerve waiting on the outside too is smart
Brian Cage's run against the Luchadors were fun, reminded me of his Lucha Underground days
Trent sacrificing himself for OC
I had Jay winning but Ricky eliminating Jay was well done
The final sequence of the battle royale was great, need a proper Swerve vs OC match, the final move is hilarious as well, perfectly on brand
And I'm not upset that OC retained, because as much as this would've protected OC, whoever takes it from his exhausted bruised flavedo deserves to do it 1 on 1
Sabu's role was mercifully brief, mainly designed to remove the JAS
Britt getting some revenge on Jericho and Saraya with the Kendo Shots
Clever of Jericho to shift into a choke with the chain when he missed the Judas Effect
Mark Briscoe's ref outfit
The pop for Sonjay getting ejected
Also the heat for Karen hitting Aubrey, you don't hit Aubrey!
It was good story payoff too that Jarrett snapping on Mark was his own downfall
Tease of Bullet Club vs FTR?
Saraya and Jericho actually gel really well
Christian back with his turtleneck, it always puts a smile on my face
The final third of the ladder match was well done, it was a good adlib from the broken ladder incident too
Dang Julia
The Dominik burn by the Acclaimed's rap
Jade's entrance was impressive too
I don't think it was a Sit-out Blue Thunder Bomb (looked almost like an Olympic Slam/Powerbomb to me) but whatever it was I thought it was cool
STATLANDER'S BACK!
STATLANDER BEAT JADE!
Congrats to Tay and Sammy as well, explains why we hadn't seen Tay in-ring either
Darby's video before his entrance was hilarious too
And that attire, half bones, half Elvis, perfection
The orchestral MJF entrance with the descending throne too was on brand extra from Max
MJF's dialogue before being hit is still humorous
And his pop-up Powerbomb/Backbreaker is still meaty as fuck
The mentor finisher reference too was a great spot
Also Sammy tricking Max by laying down, saw it coming but still a clever move
The pinning sequences spot too
A clever finish to a great match too, Darby thwarted by JB and then Max, JB thwarted by his own indecision, Sammy thwarted by Darby but Max once again seals it with a headlock takeover
If there was any doubt that the Four Pillars match wouldn't rock, that doubt is now silenced
SHIT'S ABOUT TO HIT THE FAN
Irony of Vegas singing Kansas too
It's not Anarchy in the Arena if the match starts while Wild Thing is still going
Danielson was slid down the stair railing
Rick Knox is even blading!
And the Bucks Superkick the singer XD
Mox going full CZW with the fork
Piledriver in the back of a car
Moxley and Yuta doing the same move that lost them the last Anarchy in the Arena was a clever move that went under the radar
EXPLODING SUPERKICK!?
Claudio doing the crab walk with Yuta on his shoulder
Conclusion
It was not perfect, but thanks to the double main event the show ended up being a good one. I'm of course irked by some things; Takeshita heel turn (he's too pure for that Tony!), Jamie losing in what was essentially a sprint, and the finish of the Unsanctioned Match (if AEW is not responsible for the harm caused by the competitors why is there a ref stoppage?), but the lows are outweighed by the good. We had some exciting twists that did reignite the crowd when they got quiet and both the Four Pillars and Anarchy in the Arena matches were as advertised.
My hope is that we find directions for the likes of Taya, Acclaimed, and many of the Battle Royal competitors, which Collision may manage to cater towards, but I can honestly say while it wasn't a great PPV, it was still worth the money, and I had more fun watching this than I did Night of Champions by a fair margin.
Match of the Night: Tough to call but I'm gonna go with the Four Pillars Four-Way over Anarchy in the Arena, Take my boy why you gotta be heel? And not even BCC Heel you gotta be Don Callis Heel!? I would've preferred betrayed heel Dark Order tbf not the Cinnabon man! Best Entrance: Entrances don't get used too often which is why I tend to omit it but since we had 6 unique entrances in this show I'm picking Jade Cargill Best Attire: I feel fine about picking Jade for Best Entrance because Darby wins best attire for me with the Elvis/Skeleton suit Best Performance: Four Pillars tie, they all just did so well Spot of the Night: Exploding Superkick by Matt
