mm, so complicated feelings about the show overall but let's just go through them.

Baker/Swole - This should have stayed in the pre-show. It was not good. It was a bad way to start All Out. It wasn't really produced well, the sound was bad, and they didn't really take much advantadge of the cinematic style. It was a crutch for Brit not being as fully healed as she was expected to be. Swole won, though, and that was the right move imo. I dunno. 1/5

Jericho/Orange - Got this one too. I don't know if it was because of Matt or what but I just didn't get much from this. I honestly feel like the incident with Matt affected my viewing of the whole rest of the show really, so I don't know, man. It was good to see Orange win 100% and end this. I hope he does something a little less... I don't know, I hope he goes back to being a little more Orange Cassidy. 3/5

Omega & Page/FTR - This one didn't hurt as much as predicted but it was still kind of a bummer. I hate FTR. I expect we'll know soon enough what they'll be up to, but surely this was the end of Omega/Page. Omega is done maybe even with the Bucks. Not as good as their match with the Bucks, but what the hell is. That was a match of the century. 4/5

Shida/Thunder Rosa - This match was everything I hoped it would be. Honestly, maybe this and the mox/mjf match were my faves. Thunder rosa looked so good. I won a contest to get some exclusive merch from her so that's very cool and nice for me. I thought they both laid it all out. I wasn't as emotionally invested in this as I was for Shida/Nyla tbh, but it was a big BIG step above the usual women's division stuff. There's just so very little happening over there. Let Shida do something cool man, idk. This match was fun though, and a great showcase of how good both these women are. 4/5

Battle Royale - Lance - Can't believe I got this right considering how many people were in it. It was a hot fucking mess and basically besides seeing Darby get killed and that debut guy bust hiss on his very first move, idk. Hobbs looked good! I hope he's signed. Eddie was fun. I like that he's scared of snakes. Will make his interactions with Lance always fun. Plus Lance rules. I'm glad he won but this wasn't great. 2/5.

Dark Order/Nightmare Family - Honestly truly surprised DO lost this-- but it worked. There were two storylines here, DO and their efforts to better/build up Colt and the NF getting some revenge for what they did to them and Cody. It's leading to a Dustin feud with Brodie. That should be fun. Two giant old dudes just beating each other up. I have no doubt Brodie will win that initial bout but I imagine eventually Dustin is getting that TNT belt off of Dark Order, both as a continued revenge story and for Dustin to finally in his life win a belt. I think it'll be fun to watch. 3/5

Jurassic Express/Young Bucks - I initially went with them but switched to Jurassic Express. tbh I dunno how they're going to keep the young bucks away from FTR-- unless they're not. If they're committing to that feud right now I'm all for it, I just expected them to hold back a little more. Honestly like, years maybe. But it seems like this could be the entrance ramp to it. This was an exciting match, really good for Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus, and made the potential heel Bucks look good too. Just didn't carry a lot of weight. I did like seeing I think it was Nick absolutely fucking murder Marko Stunt. 3/5. 

Hardy/Sammy - This match what the fuck idk man. I'm glad Matt is okay. I wish they had just ended it and moved on, but they skipped the match and went basically to the finish after Matt could walk again. I feel like this whole feud is cursed. Matt's gotten basically two horrific head injuries from it, Sammy was suspended once, HE got a head injury, the whole thing top to bottom is just cursed. I feel like if they fight again one of them will just die. End this. 1/5

Mox/MJF - I picked MJF here and got it wrong but they did this match to perfection. It was just perfect. MJF got what he deserved, Mox fought like an insane person, the wrestling was good, the story was good, Mox CHEATED but it worked as an awesome ending, MJF got fucked up, idk what else I can ask for. Mox will face Lance probably as a TV opponent, but I couldn't be happier seeing the two of them fight. I think the potential there is BIG big. But like, idk what else you could ask for in a match. This ruled ass. 5/5

Overall the show was haunted by what happened to Matt-- I couldn't get back into it. I've rewatched some of it today but that moment just destroyed the show for me and a lot of other people, it was so gross and bad and scary and not good. That dude fell 10 feet directly onto his skull. I know the full match would have been fantastic but I just couldn't get back into it after. That and the absolute shit of an opener + some other middling stuff just weighed it down. Double or Nothing this was not. Overall, 3/5, my PPV rankings being


1. Revolution 2020
