Just finished watching All In. Way too many gimmick matches for my taste and I really can't get into the Lucha style trios matches.
Punk vs Joe was a good opener, and the Jericho vs Ospreay match delivered in spades. I can imagine the main event will be divisive as it was overbooked to the max, and cheesy as hell. Properly cringey melodrama. On the other hand, I was engrossed in every single moment of it and the crowd absolutely ate it up - which I think are the two main metrics for whether a match is great.
What was going on with the crowd though? They were deathly quiet for most of the entrances, particularly the heel entrances. Not much enthusiasm during the first couple of hours of matches either. It was like they all felt awkward being the first one to cheer or chant. The FTR vs Young Bucks banger finally woke them up and they were good by the end.

Yeah agreed. It's just sad at this point.
It's weird because on his podcast with Conrad he seems more or less as switched on as he ever was, but when he's in the booth he just bumbles constantly.

I thought All In was ok granted i am no Jim Cornette or a wrestling connoisseur, but I had a good time watching.
Loved the entrance music for Toni Storm and Nigel McGuinnes was hilarious. He went there during the ladies match (although its okay he is English himself).

CM Punk suspended once again then, following more backstage altercations. Apparently chewed out Tony Khan in front of everyone backstage as well. If only someone had warned them about the possibility of this sort of thing happening etc.
Though, tbf to him, if his dispute with Jungle Boy was over Punk advising him not to use real glass in a match then I am 100% with him on that. ****ing stupid idea.

Apparently it was car windscreen safety glass, as used in the ppv. Not that big a deal

Fair enough. Tbh regardless of whatever glass it was, have just read that the incident was basically Punk pie-facing JB after just approaching him backstage and being a dick to him, so yeah... Surely they've got to fire him. They created an entire brand/show for him just to keep him away from people he has trouble with and this **** still keeps happening.
