Cody and the Bucks are out with new All In belts and the pyro isn't done right, before a second take and it is fine. Animal rolls out on a motorcycle before they give away shirts and then we get a corny PWTees ad. SCU's Kaz and Scorpio are out dressed as boxers - with Kaz as Rocky and Sky as Creed. ROH's announce team is here and Don Callis is here too. Kaz eats a beating, but lands a Hardyac arrest. Love the WCW Hotline font being used for their trending graphics.

Kenny Omega needs to be in a less echoey room, and WHY DO THEY NOT HAVE A MIC? Omega yammers on for a whlie before saying he's excited to face Pentagon. We get a Cody-Aldis hype video alongside an ad showing the card for maybe two frames. Time for the Over Budget Battle Royal, which has...24 minutes for what might be 30 guys. Abandon ship battle royal time! Bully Ray puts a guy in green through a table at ringside...eventually. Ethan Page pump kicks Jorydynne and Colt hits an Asai moonsault. Tommy and Billy tease dives and go to the apron for sledges.

Dalton is on commentary and he's fantastic. Moose gets eliminated by Marko and Page hits a cutter. CAGE SOMEHOW DID A DEADLIFT SUPERPLEX TO DREAMER! Page attacks the Best Friends and Rocky Romero saves them. Lawndart cutter from Trent and Chucky to Jimmy Jacobs! Cage tosses out Rocky. Cage EATS A SHOTAY AS DOES PUNISHMENT! OVER THE TOP F5 BY CAGE TO BURGER! HURRICHOKESLAMS! Dreamer uses cookie sheets while Ian talks about how many cookies he could have made with those.

SEAN MOONEY IS BACKSTAGE AT ALL IN with Nick Aldis. Aldis cuts the best promo of his life about being the man and holding the title. Excalibur talks about Amell being in his third match ever and it being in front of 10,000 people. THE NEW REFFIN SHOW Jerry Lynn is out as ref!

Daninels walks on Amell's back as the feed just goes black for a second. Amell hits a dropkick and an enzuiguri. If you're going to have your third match being in a giant show like this, CD is the perfect opponent. Backdrop leads to Amell taking a face bump. Daniels takes him to chinlock city for a second. Amell's gonna get a third job as a plumber with those pants. Amell hits a lairat that won't be challenging Stan anytime soon. VAN TERMINATOR BY STEPHEN AMELL.

Amell knocks him onto a table and GOES FOR AN ELBOW OFF THE TOP THROUGH IT. It misses and they get counted uot past 10 - so Lynn just tosses them in. Daniels shoves him so Lynn takes his ref shirt off and gives him a fast 2 count off a schoolboy. Amell wants a beating anf flips him off and neatly eats the Wings, but cradles him for 2! BME ends it - this was so much better than I couldn't expected going in.

Tenille and Mandy Leon are on commentary for the women's match. Tessa, Chelsea, Madison, and Britt Baker are in it. DR. BRITT BAKER BAYBAY is out to her boyfriend's theme and with a DMD graphic. Ian talks about how in 2 weeks, Madison has wrestled for the WOH title, competed in Impact, and wrestled in WWE's Mae Young Classic. YAY THE HOT MESS GIMMICK WON THE VOTE! Doesn't quite work as well with the dark hair though. Tessa is out and she just has IT.

MAGNUM AND TULLY ARE WITH TESSA at ringside. Now that's great. Tessa tosses Madison around outside while Chelsea and LVN sides go at it within Chelsea. Chelsea hits a run-up booty-shaking and booty-smacking armdrag. TESSA SPEARS HER TO DEATH! Tessa hits a press slam to the floor!

Tope by Chelsea! Tessa strong style forearms her on the apron! TESSA FLIP DIVES ONTO THEM! Britt Slingblades everyone and gets 2! Rayne hits a ripcord cutter!

NWA World Title time! We get a guest commentator who was there for both men's weddings.DDP, Dreamer, Glacier, and Pharoh bring Cody out. Sam Shaw, Daivari, Tim Storm, and Jeff Jarrett bring Aldis out. Between the promo and this intro, Aldis does feel like a star tonight.

 

 

The crowd is molten for this match! Cody gets a hammerlock and headlock. Aldis looks fantastic right now in this gear. Aldis drives Cody's back into the post. Aldis chops away and a Perfectplex gets 2 for Aldis. Show is already worth the $40 - they found a way to make the NWA Title feel like a big deal again, and that alone is incredible.

Double down off a double crossbody. SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY leads to an elbow by Aldis. Love seeing the Bull Hammer return. Earl goes to Cody and gives him the X. DDP comes down to help Cody and gets a yoga chant. Daivari shoves DDP, who HITS A DIAMOND CUTTET ON DAIVARI! Moonsasult misses, but figure 4 by Cody!

 

Davey Boy powerslam on the floor by Aldis. Spinning Alabama Slam gets 2 for Cody! Powerbomb into a cloverleaf - good nod to Samoa Joe there. They put over him beating Joe, Angle, Sting, and AJ with this hold! CODY GETS TO THE ROPE AND THE FANS GO CRAZY! Cody wants to give in, but Brandi won't let him. PILEDRIVER TO CODY! Brandi pleads with Nick to not hit the elbow - but he does, and HITS HER WITH IT!

 
ALDIS COVERS AND GETS 2! DISASTER AND THE CROSSRHODES HIT FOR 2.9! CODY WINS IT! Aldis goes for a sunset flip, but Cody gets a cradle ala Bret-Bulldog and wins it! What a celebration, too. They have found a way to make the NWA World Title feel like a huge deal. I would give that 4 stars being generous just because of the atmosphere of the match in real-time. Not sure why they had so much gaga in it though - that hurt it.

Janela vs Page is up, and should be insane.The hype video for this has "penis" in it almost as much as that horrible Enzo rap. It sure is goofy, but definitely different. Joey Janela is another feel-good story for wrestling - so he's a perfect fit for this show. He really is totally self-made.

 

MOONSAULT OFF THE TOP TO THE FLOOR BY PAGE! Joey lands some elbows, but eats a discus one by Page! Joey eats a chair spine-first off a pumphandle throw.

 

Janela gets tossed INTO A CRACKER BARREL, and then Joey DIVES OFF IT! OVER THE BARRICADE BUCKSHOT LARIAT BY PAGE! A table is set up near the post while they fight up top. DVD INTO THE BUCKLE GETS 2 FOR JANELA! Joey and the Bad Girl set up a ladder bridge with a barrel. LADDER BRIDGE BURNING HAMMER!

DEAD!  DICK FLIP SPOT TO PAGE! "I'm an expert in penises, but not the great beyond!" Joey gets the penile procession to take Page out while REST IN PENIS rings out.

 

 

We go backstage and see Jay Lethal with some Macho Man glasses! FLIP COMES OUT WITH BRANDI! Black Machismo is out with Lanny Poffo and Randy Savage's black, yellow, and red WCW debut gear. It's so fitting to see a Poffo at an outlaw show. This show is like the coming together of so many different eras. You've got the '80s NWA with Magnum and Tully and now the early '80s Memphis war with the Poffos coming full circle with Lanny being out here now.

Black Machismo also being an overprotective asshole is...a certainly unique way to pay tribute to someone. Flip should have a belt made and say he's the Montana State Wrestling Champion. Brandi tells Jay that she's not Liz before they do the Savage/Liz pose. Brandi chops him to make him regular Jay Lethal again. Flip gets 2 off a victory roll. Lethal combo hits! Rollup to avoid the Injection and a jumping knee and a falcon arrow gets 2.9!

Rolling torture rack drop by Lethal leads to Lanny telling him to go for the elbow. Big slam! HAIL TO THE KING BABY! THREE FLYING ELBOWS! We have to be getting a Savage-Warrior WM VII ending, right?

This was a ton of fun. They had as good a match as could be expected and played the crowd perfectly. Bully Ray jumps both guys. I hope this is all leading to Bully Ray as ROH World Champion in 2019. Bully kicks Lanny low.

He gets a table and a fan yells WHERE'S D-VON before Colt comes down for a save. SHIELD BOMB TO BULLY RAY! A huge Colt Cabana chant breaks out as the Shield bomb gets booed. This has been a perfectly-booked show overall. It has had some hiccups, but it's an all-time great show in the grand scheme of wrestling. Excalibur hypes up Penta vs. Kenny as being their first solo meeting and their second overall meeting since a six man tag at BOLA.

 

Penta gets a giant Cero Miedo chant. Lucha Underground legit gave Penta an outlet to become a huge star. He is over and boy howdy so is Kenny. Just them staring down gets a holy shit chant! Kenny slaps him for doing Cero Miedo in his face, so Penta kicks him. Rana counter to a Penta run mid-ring! Rise of the Terminator leads to a slingblade and a no-hands tope con hilo! Kenny eats a nasty powerslam on the floor!

OVERHAND CHOP ON THE ROPE BY PENTA! Kenny ties him up for a knife edge You can't escape rolling fireman's carry, but Penta prevents a moonsault. Inside-out springboard crossbody by Kenny!

V TRIGGER! ONE WINGED ANGEL HITS AND GETS THE WIN! This was fantastic! Now that's getting a full-on fiveboy! The lights go out!

Jericho is dressed as Penta! Yes! We're gonna get Jericho as IC Champion against Omega as IWGP Champion at some point. Jericho grabs a mic and says Omega's name before the feed dies again. Marty does the finger snap backstage to two goons! Omega vs. Jericho II is apparently on the crusie now.

Marty gets a major league intro as he should. Okada's remixed theme is harder-rocking, but lacks the rhythm of the original. His intro is so great and he comes off like a megastar. Marty is put over as a main eventer on commentary.

 

 These crowd shots are just amazing. We get a staredown showing off the height difference before a clean break. Marty muscles him into the ropes and poses. APRON SUPERKICK BY MARTY! LOPE TO THE FLOOR! Maculey Culkin is in the front row as Okada eats chops. Arm stomp by Marty! Flapjack by Okada! Spiking DDT on the floor by Okada!

Senton atomico for Okada. Marty climbs up Okada and chops away - almost like Ricky Steamboat. Straightjacket choke by Okada. Flying standing elbow hits for Okada before another spike DDT.

BLOCKS THE RAINAMER! UMBRELLA TO THE HEAD AND A RAINMAKER GET 2.9! Goddamn was that a great nearfall! Chickenwing is countered into the Rainmaker, BUT OKADA CAN'T STAND! MARTY SLAPS HIM! DISCUS LARIAT BY OKADA! RAINMAKER WINS IT! This was fantastic!

 

 

Rey is out with Wolvie gear while the Bucks have matching gear with Ibushi. Bandito and Matt work at a shockingly fast pace. Bucks hit a double dropkick to Bandito. Fenix hits a pop-up rana on Nick and a pop-up rana to Matt. Cutter! Ibushi vs. Rey. Shame we never get Fenix vs. Rey - Fenix really does feel like as much of a current-gen Rey as anyone does.  Rey runs right into a kick to the gut! Ibushi hits a running boot to Bandito and Nick runs wild with a bulldog/lariat.

GOLDEN TRIANGLE TO THE FLOOR! Springboard rana and a springboard moonsault to the floor! It's amazing to see what Rey can still do at his age. FENIX ALMOST STOPS SHORT ON A TORNADO DIVE! TORNADO DIVE OFF THE TOP TO THE FLOOR BY BANDITO! Matt runs off the ramp into a pile, including Fenix who runs in to get into position. Buckle bomb/high kick by the Bucks and a powerbomb/German to Bandito gets 2.

SUPERKICKS FOR EVERYONE! 3 MAN MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK IS SAVED BY FENIX! MELTZER DRIVER HITS FOR THE WIN! They go aff the air right dead on the money with Ian trying his best to get a full show close in, but not being able to. They had an almost seamless show close - if they had one more minute, they could've done a proper sendoff and a quick promo.

This was an unforgettble night of action and well-worth the $40. This was history and to see it unfold live, with a few hiccups here and there, was an experience I will never forget. What an incredible experience the whole show was. It certainly had some hiccups, but for a first-time event, they made history and delivered a show of the year-caliber event. At the post show being streamed by a guy in the building, Matt thanks the fans and everyone who worked on the crew. They tease calling All In 2 Double Or Nothing. Cody announces that he and the Bucks will stick together because no company owns pro wrestling and THEY ARE PRO WRESTLING. Kenny comes out and says this was the best show he's ever been a part of. Kenny wishes everyone a good night and good luck. What a tremendous night.
