Seattle enjoying themselves!

Our (well, Sydney’s) Fletcher lapping it up.
Adam Page vs Adam Cole was previously similarly awesome.
MCW Ballroom Brawl live stream on YouTube shortly.
I’m trying to not break the hard cam given I think it is looking straight at me.
Melbourne Pavilion is an interesting venue. Spreads the viewers (1200+ paid, apparently) out a long way from the ring.
AEW All In – overt spoilers hidden.
The order the men came out in the Casino Gauntlet match was chef’s kiss, riffing off recent storylines. Until Josh Alexander, at least.
They really need to put Mistico’s music lyrics up during this entrance. Yes, they’re Spanish, but people WILL sing with it as they did in Mexico.
RETURN OF JUICE ROBINSON!
Beautifully done, the ring is cleared, the camera zooms out, everybody feels it and stands. Injury return!
RETURN OF THE GUNNS!
We got some Trios matches auto-booked here.
Then the order of entries went a bit random, but wonderfully demonstrated how many guys they have who I can take seriously as main-event threats.
(Not Kyle O’Reilly. No one can take that goof seriously, and he’s getting worse.)
Then a long gap before the final entry: bloody Max Caster, with a lovely shot of the prone Anthony Bowens in front of him.
Adam Cole is broken (how is not specified, but he walked to the ring fine). Concedes the TNT belt while saying he may or may not be back. Crying.
The subsequent four-way match to determine the new TNT champ took a loooooooong time for the crowd to invest. And it didn’t get a POP till the very end: Dustin ■■■■■■■ Rhodes wins, in his third match in less than 24 hours!
With four hours to go (so much for speculation they’d run short to avoid clashing with Oldberg) the scale of the entrances ramp up.
Big stips: EVP status for The Bucks, or one year bans on challenging for the heavyweight title by Ospreay and Swerve. The latter is of course much more interesting.
Wyatt Sucks about to get punished because JoJo sang an intro for AEW?
There’s a sequence mid-match where everyone pops off their moves in rapid succession: you know the drill. But it’s captured entirely in one shot from the ground-level camera through the ropes, and that makes it feel so different.
LOL, guess which team does the TK Driver better?
That finish was BRUTAL.
Women’s Casino Gauntlet: there were plenty of recent interactions to play off, but not as much overt storyline as the men. Alex Windsor looked good on debut. Syuri from Stardom less so. Fun match. But is the winner a hint to the winner of the Storm-Moné match?
IT’S HAPPENING!
Nick Wayne turns on
Christian… COPELAND MAKES THE SAVE!!! But only to say "GO…………………… FIND YOURSELF”.
Women’s Title: everybody hates Mercedes right from the start. Texas boos the ■■■■ out of the Three Amigos.
YES! STORM RETAINS!
STANDING APPLAUSE.
That’s Mercedes’ first singles loss at AEW.
So not getting Athena-Moné II any time soon, I guess.
OKADA-OMEGA V: WINNER TAKES ALL
Can they get 6+ stars outside Japan?
No.
WHICH HANGMAN ENTRANCE SONG WILL WE GET?!?
Yes! Old-school, pre-trauma.
Remember when Mox = blood? It’s back, baby, and quick, and not via blading.
Lots of "IF … WE RIOT” signs.
CHEKHOV’S BED OF NAILS! Whoops for that early reveal.
So many fake stories “leaked” in the lead-up. Masterful.
These 9.9 counts…
WTF, that handcuff outta nowhere!
CHEKHOV’S CHAIN! Love it.
The callbacks across that main event… so good
That was an amazing wrapping up of Moxley’s Reign of Boredom and Hangman’s rehabilitation.
That was ■■■■■■■ art.

Not getting Rhea Toni in top level matches for a while at minimum suxxxxx
When is she a FA?
Should would do great with her Timeless gimmick in WWE. Tiffy wants her in WWE
I first saw Toni Storm in a hall in Tullamarine at a show before WWE trials. Card was stacked from those attending from all over Australia and New Zealand… and she and Evie (Dakota) shat over everyone else.
Blonde Rhea was in the tournament to be first MCW women’s champ at the Ukrainian Hall in Essendon.

Apparently Triple H saw something in Toni but Vince didn’t and let her go
Stables are creeping into wwe.
MFT, Team Rollins, The Judgement Day Wyatt Sicks.
It will be interesting to see what other stables make an appearance.
