- 4v4 Mixed Tag - *** - Barnett vs Claudio - Nice to see Mox is OK. I want to see Barnett vs Shibata Pure Rules. - *** 3/4 - Luchasaurus vs Wayne - Nice to see Luchasaurus win on his own. *** 1/4 - TMDK vs AssClaimed (c) - *** 1/4 - Righteous vs MJF (c) - Should have been used as a cool down match later. *** 1/4 - Shibata vs Eddie (c) - **** - Julia vs Statlander (c) - Shame there was no title change. - **** - 4-Way # Contender Tag Match - Should have been moved to TV to trim the bloated card. - *** 1/2 - Hangman vs Swerve - Right result. **** 1/2 - Yuta vs Ricky - Mox's commentary helped sell this match. - *** 3/4 - ZSJ vs Danielson - Technical masterpiece that lived up to the hype. ***** - Jericho & Golden Lovers vs Ospreay, Takeshita & Sammy - Another classic painting from Mel Coleman. - **** 1/4 - Aussie Open vs FTR (c) - Should have been the opening match. End stretch was sloppy with the injury. - **** - Christian (c) vs Darby (2 out of 3 Falls) - Lots of crazy bumps. Wayne turning was fun. I hope Perry joins Christian's Crew next. Sting! YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME! **** 1/2 Zero Hour was like an average Rampage. The main show delivered but it was way too long. ZSJ vs Danielson was a MOTY Contender.

- Juice vs Andrade was good. - Starlet Toni is awesome. - Kingdom vs Best Friends was good. The suitcases lol. - We in the money! - Julia vs Vertvixen was a solid squash. Julia/Statlander has had a stronger build than most women's title matches. Vertvixen should be signed to ROH. - Barnett was supposed to face Mox I guess. - Jericho & Kenny vs Gates of Agony was good. Kenny on Collision was a treat. - Righteous squash was OK. - Women can't get a 2nd match on PPV without using the Mixed Tag loophole WTF. - Aussie Open, Ricky & Big Bill vs FTR, Danielson & Yuta was my MOTN.

Ruby vs Shida was my favorite match on Rampage. Enjoying the build to Stat vs Julia.

- Fenix (c) vs JJ was solid. - At least Cole can still film skits. - Hunting Ibushi in Tokyo! Don Callis Family need a proper theme soon. Ricky/Yuta should be fun. - Nick vs Cage vs Claudio was my MOTN. - Liked the Righteous promo. - Trying to pop a rating with multiple MJF/Cole segments. Adaaaaaam! Hot Roddy lol. White vs MJF hype! Breathe with the new champion King Switchblade. - Christian/Darby has had a strong build. I want Christian to retain for the heat. - OC vs Austin vs Penta vs Matt was good. - Julia vs Willow was good. Crowd reaction was loud for both. The women getting better time slots is progress but they still need more matches. - Swerve/Hangman contract signing was good. Killshot... I understood that reference. Devil cliffhanger!

I'd like to see Deonna and Queen Aminata in ROH where they would get more chance to shine. Supposedly Mariah May is about to be signed. She's still a rookie but has improved immensely in Stardom this year. Hopefully Mercedes Mone after her injury.

Someone on another forum suggested Wardlow which isn't a bad idea. He needs a mouthpiece.

- Darby vs Christian vs Luchasaurus (c) was good. Perfect finish. - Hook & RVD vs Magic & Ang was solid. - WrestleDream shaping up nicely. The Kingdom are underrated at promos. - Julia vs Hogan was solid. I hope Willow is OK. - White vs Andrade was great. - Good Ortiz and Taylor promos. - Workhorsemen vs FTR (c) was solid. Aussie Open dressed to impress. Passionate promos. - CJ opposing Miro instead of managing him is more fun. - Ricky vs Danielson was my MOTN. Enjoyed the "fans" selling the crowd dive.

Rampage was fun but too many tag matches. Main event, mixed tag and Skye vs Hart were my favorite matches. FITE split the show into 2 episodes with full intros so I accidentally watched the 2nd half first lol. Hung Bucks as ROH Trios Champions is interesting. Is TK stacking ROH for a streaming deal or just trying to hype up Final Battle?

Not going to happen. WrestleDream, Title Tuesday, Full Gear, New Year's Smash and Battle of the Belts are coming up as well a rumored new PPV in December.

Grand Slam was Dynamite's highest Demo since Sep 14th 2022 and highest Viewership since Feb 22nd 2023.

- Eddie vs Claudio (c) was my MOTN. Popped for Eddie winning! - Prayer circle for Roddy. Christian is the greatest TNT Champion of all time. - Jericho vs Sammy was solid aside from the botch. Light-up vest lol. I was confused by Jericho winning until the Sammy turn. - Fenix vs Mox (c) was good. Sucks the audible finish was botched. - Toni vs Saraya (c) was good. B&W 16fps entrance was amazing. Shoooooes! Surprise kiss! - Mixed tag loophole to get 2 women's matches on Rampage. - Joe vs MJF (c) was great. It's interesting seeing MJF as the underdog selling like crazy.

Statlander vs Toni Best of 7

- Ricky & Bill vs BCC was good. - Good Hobbs & Miro promos. - Iron Savages vs FTR (c) was solid. - Take 22 lol. ROH crossover ramping up again the last few weeks. - Silver vs Bowens was solid. - Killer Eddie promo. He needs to win at Grand Slam. OrangeHook. - Aussie Open squash was OK. - Toni sit-down with RJ was funny. - Scorpio vs Andrade was solid. "Where are we?" lol. - Nice look at Kenny & Ibushi's history. Legendary promo from Shibata. - The Hardys vs The Righteous was solid. Building up fodder for MJF & Cole. - Hype Danielson/ZSJ video. Ricky speaking the truth. - DMD vs Statlander (c) was my MOTN. Longest women's match in a while.

Rampage had too many matches. Good send-off match for Jade.

- Mox (c) vs Big Bill was good. Toni... I mean Ricky with the shoe! - Another classic painting. Konosuke Alpha vs Kota Ibushi! Kenny the Cuck in tears. - Toni vs Shida vs Nyla vs DMD was solid but the pacing felt off. Didn't expect Toni to challenge yet. Mercedes Mone challenging at WrestleDream perhaps... - Le Sex Gods was fun but they need to split after the match. - MJF maths lol. The numbers don't lie and they make more sense than the math used to book the women's division. - Cage vs Page was my MOTN. - Garcia teaming with Takeshita or feuding with him would be fun. Big women's match for Rampage. - Darby & Wayne vs Magic & Ang was solid. Christian's promos never miss. My regular partner... - Roddy vs Joe was good. Roddy playacting lol.

https://411mania.com/wrestling/update-ppv-buys-aew-all-in-all-out/ All In - 192,000 buys. 2nd highest buys after All Out 2021. $19-20 million gross (ticket sales, buys & merch sales) All Out - 73,000 buys Can't see WrestleDream (aka Forbidden Door 2.5) doing big numbers. I think TK should go quality over quantity with the card... book 8 matches max and make sure they are all potential bangers.

Perfect match up for GrandSlam or WrestleDream since they never had a proper match. Give them 10 minutes and Jade loses. Maybe they shake hands in respect afterwards and Jade can mix it up with the Outcasts. Just don't waste precious matches on building Jade back up. The women already had 2 squash length matches this week after TK avoiding them for a couple of months.

- Mox (c) vs Andretti was solid. - Justice for Roddy. - Statlander (c) vs Robyn was solid. Jade! - Shida or Toni would both be good opponents for Saraya. Claudio doesn't even need to talk to get under Eddie's skin. - BCG vs Gravity, Aerostar & Inframundo was solid. Cardblade subbing in. Luchablog shoutout. Andrade should start his own lucha faction. - Best promo of CJ Perry's career. Dark Order Recruitment video lol. - Fenix vs Angelico was solid. Didn't play Angelico's chill vibe theme - Strong vs Darby was my MOTN. - Keith "The One Piece Collider" Lee. I guess DO & Righteous aren't merging. - Will Danielson get a singles title run before he winds down? Dragon/ZSJ hype. Ricky thinks he's too good for BCC. - Joe vs Penta was good.

My favorite part of the recent shows

- Another award-winning promo from OC. - Fox vs Mox (c) was good. Christian trying to poach all the orphans. - Statlander (c) vs Emi was good but should have been longer. Women in the 1st hour - Callback to Roddy's NXT documentary. - Le Sex Gods vs Aussie Open was good. Sammy is finally being cheered so I hope they don't turn him heel again. - Ricky cutting promos on both shows is best for business. - Never thought MJF the workhorse babyface champion would work but he's killing it. Good segment with Joe aside but the fat jokes were lame. - Roddy vs Trent was good. - Toni Monroe every week is a delight. - Hangman/Swerve feud off to a great start. - Darby vs Wayne was good. Good follow-up to All Out. A few idiots in the crowd almost ruined the promo segments.

- Charity Battle Royale - Hangman was best choice to win. - *** - Shida, Willow & Blue vs Athena, Martinez & Diamante - Nice to see Billie the Minion. Shida vs Athena please. - *** 1/2 - JJ, Lethal & Satnam vs HoA (c) - Caster rap was a bust. - *** - Dark Order vs MJF & Cole (c) - Shame Dark Order had to lose. - *** 3/4 - Joe (c) vs Taylor - MJF & Joe fighting was interesting. Joe losing at All In was a bad call in hindsight. - *** 1/2 - Darby vs Luchasaurus (c) - ROH crew to the rescue lol. - **** - Hobbs vs Miro - Much better than expected. I hoped they would team up. Hot wife! - **** 1/4 - Ruby vs Statlander (c) - Destination Unknown returned. Thankfully longer than the Fatal 4-Way. Toni lol. - **** - Starks vs Danielson (Strap Match) - Final Countdown again! - **** 3/4 - Shibata & Kingston vs Claudio & Yuta - Eddie should win the ROH Championship at Grand Slam. - **** 1/4 - Takeshita vs Omega - MOTY Contender. Star-making performance and win for Takeshita. - ***** - BCG vs FTR & Bucks - They co-existed. - **** 1/2 - Mox vs Cassidy (c) - MOTY Contender. Surprised by the result. Would have liked Takeshita to be the next International Champion. - ***** Top 5 PPV despite the lacking build-up. Perfect statement after the controversy. The heavy schedule of the last week's has burned me out a bit and there's another PPV in 4 weeks lol.

- I'm surprised TK explained firing Punk on TV 😮 - Ricky should be the focal point of Collision. Great promo almost ruined by the FITE feed cutting out twice. The Dragon = Danielson! All Out card just got better. - Great Mox promo. - Garcia, Daddy & Ang vs House of Ass (c) was solid. Keep Hager away from this trio. - About time Dark Order got a small push. Tony better be careful or Ricky will give him the strap. - Aussie Open vs Wayne & Kommander was good. Darby shouldn't be walking upright. Father of the Year with another masterclass promo. - BCC with that old school training. Still surreal seeing Shibata so often. - Good Outcasts promo. - Rodman popped the Chicago crowd but did nothing for me. Joe trying his best to sell an ROH TV level match. - Outcasts vs Statlander, Shida & DMD was solid. - Nice Hobbs/Miro teaser. Finally another women's match added to All Out. - Don "The Real God of Pro Wrestling" Callis - Dax vs White was my MOTN.

I think Ricky vs Punk was supposed to main event All Out but obviously that's not happening now. Would be funny if Hangman replaced Punk. I assume Kenny vs Takeshita will main event.

One of the best female wresters of 2023 > solid midcard guy. My issue is more with Joe, who holds the secondary ROH title being booked back-to-back on PPV while the ROH women's champion wasn't even on today's show. Plus Joe going from facing Punk to Taylor is a massive star power downgrade. Honor Club or Zero Hour worthy at best.
