WCW Nitro vibes, overall MUCH better episode than last week. Chris Jericho is playing his Hollywood Hogan role perfectly. Good shit!

overbooked clusterfucks don't have to be a bad thing. that was ending segment was incredible and set things up perfectly for next week. that was overall as perfect a show as you can get. they nailed it

pretty much everyone out there looks better now then they did two hours ago. and they have so many ppl still yet to debut

Lol MJF recieving Cody's hug gladly, but when Matt goes to him to see if he's ok, MJF was like "get the fuck outta me!"

I love mjf

I feel like this ending was overbooked as fuck but...

...I love it??? Everyone was booked correctly for what their role was supposed to be in those last minutes. What a great show.

It seemed chaotic but when you think it through they set up Page vs Hagar, Young Bucks vs LAX, MJF or Dustin vs Sammy, Jericho vs Cody, Jericho vs Darby.

It all made sense!

Huge improvement as far as pacing goes this week. The arena going dark for Cody didn't make much sense, but otherwise awesome ending.

Vince is going to have to put NXT on Tuesdays at this rate. 2 great episodes, and the WCW vibes is making me feel like a kid again.

Darby and his skateboard are both dead next week.

He'll just upgrade it

That was two hours of absolute delight. And the time just flew right by.

Anyone in this thread that even feels the slightest compulsion to give the WWE money, attend one of their events, subscribe to their network or watch the next crappy cuckfest featuring "pinned Kofi in 7 seconds" part-time champion Brock on Friday night is doing themselves an absolute disservice.

So, serious question: was that the best televised episode of a pro wrestling promotion all year? Because I think it might have been. They got so much accomplished, and the layers storytelling at the end were incredible.

This show is fucking great! Can't believe two hours just flew by.

I'm honestly really surprised at the MJF bit. Tons of credit to whoever decided not to turn him against Cody. This is way more interesting.

Ending with excitement and chaos that makes you want to see what happens next? A novel concept.

Pretty much. It opened more routes and storylines that will eventually lead to PPV matches. I thought it worked really well for it was worth. See WWE, this is how you end on a satisfying note and not that Hell in a Cell crap end.

I liked the show a lot last week, but this week blew it out of the water. And the card next week is already stacked. This is seriously such good shit.

If they keep this up, they will absolutely bring back fans who exited stage left over the last 15 years. I've already had non fans comment to me that they've seen clips on social media and that it "seems cool". My son doesn't watch wrestling at all (although he likes the games) and after watching part of All Out Darby was immediately his favorite. He asks me every time he knows I'm watching wrestling of any kind "how's that skateboard guy doing?"

All year?
In many years imo

Can't wait to be there live for the tag finals in a few weeks

Thankfully that baseball game didn't preempt this and stall the momentum, that was a banger of an episode.

More important than bringing back lapsed fans, they'll make brand new fans of wrestling. People who were babies or not even born when Nitro vs RAW was a thing.

The Darby spot at the end was wonderful

Seeing him get elevated on a weekly basis to a brand new audience is going to be a treat going forward
