All Out

I think so.

Um, on my back to back, I'm going to take a match from All Out 2021.

Okay.

It is for the AEW tag team titles.

I gotta find the event again.

Good grief.

That was, uh, from All Out 2021 for the AEW World Championship.

It is Kenny Omega versus Christian Cage.

If you've been listening live, jump on in and let us know what you think of anything we've talked about or a topic we have not covered yet, including John Morrison and Karen Cross, which we'll get to in a moment.

Oh, by the way, speaking of call-in shows, last night after AEW All Out, Mike McMahon from the All Elite After Show on the PW Torch Daily Cast lineup guest hosted for Greg Parks.

Happy birthday, Greg.

And just had a ton of calls and a long discussion a couple hours after All Out, including Joel Donnell, a familiar voice on the post shows after Dynamite.

Subscribe to the PWTorch Daily Cast, a different show each day of the week covering a different specific theme or topic with different hosts.

Great mix of voices and opinions.

And that includes last night's AEW All Out Post Show, a couple hours of phone calls, on-site correspondent, and a pro podcaster in Mike McMahon.

Um, hopefully you're listening to him and Andrew.

So, Eric, a big show for AEW tonight.

Loads of momentum coming out of a major hit pay-per-view, critically acclaimed, all out on Sunday night.

So, you know, AEW's riding that wave right now going into this episode tonight.

Don't normally start the show this way with kind of an overarching theme.

But I think it's necessary in this instance, given just the momentum that they have coming out of All Out.

But my first question to you tonight is, was this a suitable follow-up show? Kind of with the premise being All Out, you know, major pay-per-view event, very, very newsworthy.

Yeah.

And, you know, maybe, maybe more eyes on the product tonight than than ever, or at least in in a long, long while.

Definitely one of the best wrestling shows of the last 15 or 20 years.

What an unbelievable show AEW All Out was tonight.

It is Sunday.

It's September 5th, 2021.

Again, 515-605-9345 if you're listening to us and you want to give us a call.

Let's go up first to area code 410.

What do you think of all out tonight?

God bless you, Mike.

But we are gonna talk about All In, um, because not only was it this massive critical success really where we've all been raving about some of the matches and just the event in general.

It looks like it's gonna be possibly one of the most successful financially, uh, that the company has done because currently, I... at this, at this moment in time, the, uh, the record for pay-per-view buys for AEW is 215,000, and that's for All Out 2021, which was a little show you may remember had the, uh, the return/debut of CM Punk in AEW, um, for having his first match for the company against Darby Allin.

And then you had all the big returns that some were expected, some were not expected.

There was a lot going on on All Out 2021.

It's one of the iconic AEW events, and that is the record holder understandably.

Well, right now, according to the latest issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer is saying that early indications are that All In, the latest All In, could actually beat that number.

I think they beat it.

I've always thought that All Out 2021 was their best pay-per-view to this day.

And I think all in this past week, we can

beat

that.

The first time I can ever say that All Out 2021 has been beat.

And this show was it.

From top to bottom, it was...

And choice C, AEW all-out 2021.

So yeah, like Greg said, this is the first ballot we've had in a while that does not have... a wwe show on it so that all out 2021 took place september 5th at hoffman estates right around the corner from steve willie's house not really and the main event of that one was uh kenny omega and christian cage for the AEW world title.

It's also the first...

I'm pretty sure it's the first pay-per-view match.

You're probably like, oh, man.

Three very unique shows.

AWA, Super Clash 1, ROH, Death Before Dishonor 10, and AEW All Out 2021.

There's your choices.

So yeah, we've got War Eagle saying, "I'm officially two for two with buying pay-per-views.

My first ever was All Out 2021, and now All In 2026.

I gotta buy more shows." Uh, we'll tell you a way to save some money on that a little bit later on.

Um, but yeah, we've got, we...
