Winner: Konosuke Takeshita, by pinfall (gains 2 points; ELP earns 0)

Well damn! This was only the second match of the night, but both men fought like it was the finals! But with this result, Konosuke’s chances improve while ELP is mathematically eliminated! However, because of how hard they fought, Konosuke shows ELP great respect, and ELP returns it. Will The Headbanga still win one more time before the end? Will Konosuke soon become The Alpha of the World?

G1 Climax 34 B Block: Yuya Uemura VS Ren Narita!

The Heat Storm was perhaps underestimating El Phantasmo last round, and perhaps the Souled Out Son of Strong Style did the same with Yota Tsuji. Will both men take each other much more seriously? Or will one wrong move spell the end for someone’s G1?

As Yuya steps in the ring, he keeps his eyes on Ren. Ren stays back and Yuya finishes his introductions, and then Ren attacks! The fans boo and the ref reprimands, but Ren just laughs.

Ren SMASHES the knee, then clamps the KNEEBAR back on!

Yuya still endures and the fans still rally up! Yuya manages to stand, but Ren wrangles him back down! Ren turns Yuya over to put the KNEEBAR on deep! Yuya still fights around, reaches out, and has the ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer, but Ren doesn’t let go until the ref counts 4. Ren then stomps Yuya, goes to a corner, and climbs.

G1 Climax 34 B Block: Hirooki Goto VS David Finlay w/ Gedo!

The Fierce Warrior is still fighting to #TurnItAllAround and return to a G1 finals. But as red hot as he was last round, he now runs into a man who is determined to make NJPW acknowledge him. Will we all see that we need The Rebel? Or will Goto always #GetBackUp?

The fans boo but then Finlay SPITS at them, and flips them off. Finlay goes to the apron so more people can see him flip them off. Finlay hops down, he rains down fists and stomps on Goto, but lets off as Red Shoes reprimands. Finlay Too Sweets the camera, then he drags Goto back up.

Finlay puts Goto in the ring, the fans applaud, and Finlay covers. Red Shoes says no, the shenanigans were too much. Finlay says fine, and he stomps. Cover, ONE! Goto shakes his head but Finlay clamps on with shoulder claws. Goto endures, but Finlay fishhooks him! Finlay hides it from Red Shoes, then he ELBOWS Goto in the head. Red Shoes reprimands but Finlay scuffs Goto. Finlay digs his sole into Goto’s face, then steps off as fans boo. Finlay drags Goto up, UPPERCUTS him down, then stands on Goto’s foot. Finlay stomps Goto, but the fans continue to rally. Finlay taunts Goto, saying he can’t let down the fans, they believe in him! Then he CHOKES Goto!

Red Shoes reprimands, counts, and Finlay lets off at 4. The fans boo more but Finlay just soaks it all up. Finlay flips them off, so the fans boo more. Finlay storms up on Goto in a corner as we reach five minutes, but Goto CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! Finlay throat chops! Finlay whips, Goto reverses and runs in, but into a BOOT! Finlay runs, but Goto follows and LARIATS! The fans fire up while both men are down! Goto drags Finlay up, fires forearms, then puts Finlay in a corner. Goto whips corner to corner, runs in and MURAMASAS! Then SAIDOS! Cover, TWO! The fans rally behind Goto as he brings Finlay back up.

Finlay fights the fireman’s carry with elbows, but then Goto ROCKS him! Goto runs up, Finlay dodges, and Finlay LARIATS Goto and himself up and out of the ring! They both tumble to the floor, and the fans rally up again. Finlay sits up first, and he laughs that one off. Finlay does push-ups to show his arm is just fine. Finlay flips Goto off, drags him up, and RAMS him into railing! Goto slumps down but Finlay grins. Finlay pulls up floor mats! Red Shoes reprimands but Gedo likes where this is going! Finlay talks smack to Yoshi-Hashi on commentary about what’s gonna happen to his friend!

Red Shoes reprimands, but Finlay goes over to drag Goto over to the bare floor! Finlay reels Goto in, hoists him up, but Goto fights free! Finlay kicks low, tries again, but Goto fights the lift! Goto powers up, the fans fire up, and Goto BACK DROPS Finlay onto the floor! Finlay writhes on that bare tile, and Gedo is very worried. Goto rises, the fans rally again, and Goto stomps Finlay around. Goto whips Finlay but Finlay reverses to send him hard into railing! Both men are down this time as Finlay catches his breath. The ring count starts, but reaches 8 of 20 before Finlay rises. Finlay then drags Goto up at 12, and he puts Goto in the ring.

The fans cheer, but Finlay says Goto isn’t getting off that easy. We pass 10 minutes, and Finlay BITES Goto’s fingers! The fans boo, Red Shoes reprimands, and Finlay SPITS at Red Shoes. Finlay BITES Goto’s hand again! Red Shoes counts, Finlay lets off, and they argue. Red Shoes tells Finlay to respect his authority, but Finlay flips him off, too. Finlay then runs in to UPPERCUT! Finlay runs, Goto follows, and LARIATS! Goto suplexes, but Finlay slips free! Goto avoids the clinch to shove and fireman’s carry! USHIGOROSHI! Both men are down again and the fans fire up! Finlay clutches his neck while the fans cheer on “GO-TO-O!”

Goto and Finlay both slowly rise, and Goto brings Finlay around to fire a forearm! Finlay fires back! Goto fires another forearm! Finlay fires back! Goto fires yet another, so Finlay hits back, and they go back and forth as they stand up. Goto eggs Finlay on, ROCKS him, so Finlay fires back! The shots go faster and faster, then Finlay gets the edge. Finlay winds up, but Goto catches him to an URA GTR! Then a LARIAT!! The fans are thunderous and Goto roars! Goto drags Finlay up while Gedo shouts! Goto dragon sleepers, but Finlay snapmares free! Ghost pin, TWO! Finlay ROLLING ELBOWS! Goto ends up in a corner, Finlay runs in, but Goto puts him in the ropes!

Goto dragon sleepers, for a DRAPING SHOTO!! Cover, TWO!! Finlay survives, it just isn’t as strong without Hashi. But Goto roars and the fans rally up again! Goto dragon sleepers, but Finlay spins around! Suplex, INTO OBLIVION! Cover, TWO!! Goto survives and Finlay is frustrated. The fans rally harder for Goto but Finlay drags Goto up. Finlay reels Goto in, hoists him up, and BUCKLE BOMBS! Then another POWERBOMB!! Cover, TWO!! Goto survives and the fans are thunderous! Finlay is beside himself, Gedo complains to Red Shoes, but the fans rally as hard as they can. Goto stirs, but Finlay flexes and flips everyone off.

Finlay slashes his throat, drags Goto up, and reels him back in. Suplex and- NO, Goto knees that one down! Goto and Finlay now fight for suplex control! Goto tries, Finlay tries, but then Goto hoists Finlay up! SHOTEN KAI!! But Goto can’t make the cover! We pass 15 minutes, the fans fire up again, and both men slowly stir. Red Shoes checks on them both, and while he checks Goto, Gedo sneaks Finlay the shillelagh! Goto sits up, Finlay hides the weapon under his stomach. Gedo distracts Red Shoes, and fans boo, but that gives Finlay his opning! But Goto ducks the shillelagh to HEADBUTT! Goto grabs the shillelagh, but now Red Shoes sees it!

Goto drops the shillelagh out of the ring, and he powers up! BUZZSAW! Finlay flounder sup, into the fireman’s carry! G T W!! Cover, TWO?!? Finlay survives, but Goto fires up! Dragon sleeper, G T- NO, Finlay backslides, rolls through, suplexes, but Goto blocks the knee!! Finlay fires off furious forearms! ROLLING- HEADBUTT!! The fans are electric as Goto stands over Finlay! Goto drags Finlay up, dragon sleepers, and- NO, Finlay tries to fight it! Goto grabs that arm, powers it down, and G T R!!! Cover, GOTO WINS!!!

Winner: Hirooki Goto, by pinfall (gains 2 points; Finlay earns 0)

The Fierce Warrior takes down The Rebel, and now Finlay’s odds of making the playoffs are much more complicated! Will Finlay find a way to rise back up in the homestretch?

As for Goto, he catches his breath to stand up and take the mic. “Thank you, everyone, for this sold-out Korakuen Hall!” The fans cheer, and Goto says nothing tops this! This is the G1! The fans also cheer that, and Goto continues, “And there’s something special about today.” Oh? Goto’s son and daughter came to cheer him on! The fans cheer, and we get a look at the little Gotos at ringside. Goto gladly says, “Daddy won!” He also adds, “Your pops gave his all today, so you do the same in school tomorrow.” The fans cheer that, too! Goto’s daughter gets emotional now, and he promises, he isn’t angry. Maybe she’s just so proud of her papa.

Goto continues, “No one knows how this G1 will play out. But I’m sure there’s one thing you all know.” The fans chant for “GO-TO-O!” again, and he says that’s right! The G in G1 stands for GOTO! The fans cheer again as The Fierce Warrior continues forward. Will NJPW once again see Goto go to the Climax?

 

Here are the current A Block standings!

Zack Sabre Jr: 5-2, 10 points
Evil: 5-2, 10 points
Tetsuya Naito: 4-3, 8 points
Sanada: 4-3, 8 points
Shota Umino: 3-4, 6 points
Shingo Takagi: 3-4, 6 points
Great-O-Khan: 3-4, 6 points
Jake Lee: 3-4, 6 points
Gabe Kidd: 3-4, 6 points
Callum Newman: 2-5, 4 points [ELIMINATED]

 

Here are the NEW B Block standings!

Jeff Cobb: 5-2, 10 points
Ren Narita: 4-3, 8 points
Hirooki Goto: 4-3, 8 points
Yota Tsuji: 4-3, 8 points
David Finlay: 4-3, 8 points
Konosuke Takeshita: 4-3, 8 points
Henare: 3-4, 6 points
Yuya Uemura: 3-4, 6 points
Boltin Oleg: 2-5, 4 points [ELIMINATED]
El Phantasmo: 2-5, 4 points [ELIMINATED]


My Thoughts:

Another awesome round for the G1. B Block clearly saw A Block the other day and said they could do even bigger and better, because they sure did! A great showing from Oleg against Cobb even in defeat, and then ELP VS Konosuke was pretty much match of the night. However, Oleg and ELP are now both out of the running, so they’ll just be hoping to spoil someone else’s chances. Yota VS Henare was also solid stuff, another great win for Yota. If Yota isn’t going to win this G1, he and Henare could have a great NEVER Openweight Championship match for the Destruction tour.

Yuya VS Ren was perhaps the only match not quite on the level of these others, but again, that’s what happens when the House of Torture cheats things. Cobb is leading the block but Ren’s right behind, and Ren won their 1v1 earlier so if something happens, Ren will take the top spot instead. But perhaps the most shocking, Goto not only gives us another epic match, he wins out against Finlay. B Block continues to be very competitive with a lot of people at 4-3. Goto has ELP on August 10th, and he has Henare on the 14th, so it’s possible Goto gets in as like second or third seed, having to fight in that wild card match. I don’t know if he makes it to the finals, but it feels like the fans would love to see it.

My Score: 9/10

Hangman Page is here!

Mexico City fires up for the Blackhat Cowboy as he makes his way into Arena Mexico for the first time! Hangman has a mic to say, “Hola! Mi nombre es Hangman.” And he asks they excuse his Espanol, it isn’t the best. But Hangman knows that like most White people, he’ll do his best. His familia used to grow tobacco, and they were hard workers. And they had employees who were hard workers, from right here in Mexico City. Those men were also like family! He is thankful that the people of Mexico have invited AEW into their home tonight! The fans cheer, and Hangman thanks them for the collaboration of AEW & CMLL. This is the best pro-wrestling in the world!

Hangman continues by saying that he also wants to make it known about AEW World Champion, Jon Moxley, that while Hangman is not wrestling tonight, and that he is not allowed ringside later tonight for the main event… He will find Moxley after! And Excalibur apologizes, the last part definitely can’t be translated for the sake of the broadcast. The fans still cheer Hangman on, they wanna see that #CowboyS*it. Hangman adds that once again, he is thankful for letting them be here in Arena Mexico. Now, let the action begin! The fans cheer as Hangman heads out, will The Cowboy get his hands on The Maniac before the night is over?

 

14 Man Tag: Hechicero, Volador Jr, Dax Harwood & The Don Callis Family VS Adam Cole, Brody King, Daniel Garcia, Bandido, Templario, Atlantis Sr. & Atlantis Jr!

Well, they always say, “Card subject to change.” Cash Wheeler is not able to make it, but Lance Archer and “The Predator,” Volador Jr, take his place! Then on the other side, the OG Atlantis jumps in! Will things only end up crazier to start off Grand Slam?

As Dax Harwood & Stokely Hathaway make their way out, #BigStoke has a mic and he has them cut the music. Stokely has some good news and some bad news. Bad news: Due to circumstances beyond his control, Cash Wheeler cannot be here tonight. That’s the bad news. The good news is, one half of FTR is here tonight in the great Dax the Ax! And hey, Stokely has been working on his Espanol all day. “Grassy ass, thank you!” Still messed it up… But with that, the rest of Team Rudo make their way out, starting with Volador, followed by the Don Callis y Hechicero.

On the other side, ROH World Champion Bandido leads the way for his team, followed by Templario and the Atlantis father and son. Then Brody King and Daniel Garcia follow, saving TNT Champion, Adam Cole, for last! The fans join in for the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” These massive teams sort out, and Bandido steps up against the Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita. The fans fire up behind the Most Wanted while he and Konosuke circle. They approach, Konosuke trips Bandido and things speed up. Bandido stays low, then hurdles, but Konosuke leaps over.

The fans fire up as now Cole and the team gather together, and the fans cheer as all seven raise their hands! Bandido’s team is in control while Grand Slam goes picture in picture.

Kazuchika Okada w/ Don Callis VS Mark Briscoe!

The Rainmaker has a Winner Takes All match with long-time rival, Kenny Omega, but he crossed a line! Not only has Okada joined Don Callis just to stick it to The Cleaner, but Okada hospitalized Omega with a brutal attack to the stomach! Will the Sussex County Chicken get a semblance of revenge on Omega’s behalf? Or will Okada make it rain in Arena Mexico?

The fans are fired up for Okada while he and Briscoe get face to face. The ref has them back away to their corners, then the bell rings. Okada and Briscoe step up again, then Briscoe shoves Okada! Okada bails out and the fans boo. Briscoe waits on Okada while commentary tells Callis he and Okada committed the most despicable thing in all of wrestling. Callis of course says it was the most shrewd tactical move in the history of wrestling. Okada takes his time returning into the ring, and then he circles with Briscoe. They tie up and are in a deadlock. They go around, Okada puts Briscoe on the ropes, but he lets off slowly.

Okada fakes the chop, and pats Briscoe on the shoulders. The fans are torn, but Briscoe kicks Okada and TOSSES him! The fans cheer as Briscoe builds speed, but Okada steps aside so Briscoe can’t dive. Briscoe gives chase, though, and they go around the outside. They slide back in, and Okada CLOBBERS Briscoe!

Briscoe stands Okada up to ROCK with a haymaker, then ROCKS him again. Okada staggers, Briscoe is on him with a CHOP! The fans “WOO~” and Callis acknowledges those heavy hands of Briscoe’s. Briscoe bumps Okada off buckles, stomps a mudhole, then stops as the ref counts 4. Briscoe then grinds his forearm into Okada’s face! The ref counts again, Briscoe stops at 4, and he whips corner to corner. Okada reverses but Briscoe goes up and out.

Okada runs up but Briscoe blocks a shot to ROCK Okada! Briscoe then RAMS into Okada, throws him out of the ring, and then DIVES! Direct hit and the fans fire up! Briscoe high-fives the front row before he puts Okada in the ring. Okada goes to a corner, Briscoe runs up and LARIATS! Briscoe goes corner to corner again, but Okada BOOTS him! Briscoe just fires up! Okada dodges this time, and he hoists Briscoe up to DROPKICK him down to the floor! The fans fire up while Grand Slam goes picture in picture.

Okada waits while Briscoe is down and out. A ring count starts, Briscoe stirs, but then Okada goes out to fetch Briscoe. Briscoe fires body shots but Okada kicks low! DDT to the floor! Okada leaves Briscoe behind and the ring count starts again. Briscoe rises up, leans on commentary, and he tells Callis off before he goes to the ring at 6 of 10. Okada is on Briscoe with another DDT! Cover, TWO! Briscoe toughs it out and Okada is annoyed. Okada stalks Briscoe to a corner, but Briscoe kicks low! Okada ELBOWS Briscoe, whips corner to corner, then runs in and ELBOWS Briscoe down! Okada paces while soaking up cheers and jeers.

Okada goes back to Briscoe and drags him up. Okada reels Briscoe in, turns him, and hits a NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Briscoe is still in this and he rises up. Okada is on him with a chinlock and bends him back! Briscoe endures as Okada leans on the hold, and Briscoe fights around to stand back up. But Okada drags Briscoe back down! Briscoe still fights, Grand Slam returns to single picture, and the fans rally up. Briscoe rises again, fires body shots, then runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Okada hits a FLAPJACK! Okada is ice cold while the fans fire up. Okada brings Briscoe up, gut wrenches, but Briscoe fights to a victory roll! TWO!

Okada runs up, Briscoe waistlocks, but Okada switches. Briscoe breaks free to PELE! Both men are down and the fans fire up again! Briscoe pounds the mat and the fans rally. Briscoe rises, Okada stands, and they throw forearms back and forth! Briscoe ROCKS Okada, and Okada comes back to CLAW Briscoe’s eyes! Okada whips, but Briscoe reverses and CHOPS! Briscoe fires forearms, then whips. Okada reverses but Briscoe FLYING FOREARMS! The fans fire up again and both men rise up. Briscoe winds up to LARIAT in the corner! Briscoe brings Okada out to a FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, TWO!

The fans fire up as Okada stays in this! Briscoe clutches his neck but he brings Okada back up. Okada fights the clinch, the fans duel, and Okada puts Briscoe on ropes. Okada whips, Briscoe FLIPS through the backdrop! The fans fire up and Okada thinks it is for him. But he turns around into a REDNECK UPPERCUT! Briscoe runs in at the corner, but Okada pops him up to the Alabama Lift! REVERSE NECKBREAKER! The fans fire up again and Okada scoops to SLAM! Standard formula, Okada goes up the corner! MACHO ELBOW! Then Okada winds it up, and gives the Rainmaker MIDDLE FINGER~!

Okada grins, but Briscoe grabs that finger to BITE IT! The fans fire up and the ref reprimands, but Briscoe BITES more! Then EXPLODER! Briscoe drags Okada to a drop zone, climbs up top, and FROGGY-BOW! Cover, TWO!! The fans fire up as Okada survives! Briscoe calls his shot and he underhooks Okada! But Okada BACKDROPS free! Briscoe is right up, swings, but Okada dodges to then backslide! Roll through, but Briscoe dodges the lariat, only for the DROPKICK to hit! Okada roars, ripcords, and RAIN- NO, Briscoe ducks, kicks low, and underhooks! But Okada fights the lift! Wrench, ripcord, but Briscoe wrenches and underhooks! JAY-

NO, Okada fights the driller to scoop and TOMBSTONE!! Okada grins and ripcords, RAINMAKER!!! Cover, Okada wins!

Winner: Kazuchika Okada, by pinfall

The Continental Champion is rolling on the road to Arlington! Don Callis celebrates with his potentially new golden goose, but then Callis CLAWS Briscoe’s eyes! The fans boo as Okada aims with the belt! BELT SHOT to the ribs!! And then BELT SHOT to the head!! Callis & Okada stomp away on Briscoe, then they leave him behind.

MJF w/ The Hurt Syndicate VS Mistico!

The Scumbag only ever does or uses something when it benefits him, and being extremely patriotic for the United States only seems to happen when he wants to stick it to someone not from the United States. MJF waves Ol’ Glory while he, MVP, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin walk down to the ring, but will he have to wave the white flag of surrender here tonight? Or will MJF somehow screw over the arguably greatest and most beloved man in CMLL?

In fact, to counter MJF being an American idiot, Mistico takes off his Sin Cara mask to reveal the colors of Mexico’s flag and therefore the colors of his people. He also has Me Muero as his theme, and the fans all know that one! The bell rings and the two circle while the fans rally behind Mistico. The two tie up, MJF SHOVES Mistico away, and then MJF soaks up the heat. MJF mockingly claps and then says up theirs! MVP tells MJF to worry about Mistico, not the fans. The fans tell MJF off and MJF tells them to shut up. MJF and Mistico tie up, Mistico SHOVES MJF, and Mistico eggs MJF on! MJF gets up, he and Mistico circle again, and they tie up.

Mistico handsprings to fake MJF out! MJF thinks he’s smooth for running away, but then MVP tells him to focus on Mistico, not on the fans. MJF says he knows, and he eggs on Mistico. Mistico runs out there to chase MJF, but then the Hurt Syndicate stands in the way!

The fans boo, Mistico wags his finger, and he tells them to part. MJF runs up to ROCK Mistico first! The fans boo but MJF high-fives his guys. MJF says, “Easy! Too easy!” MJF puts Mistico in the ring, smirks while the fans call him more names. MJF swivels his hips, then runs up, but Mistico dodges the knee drop! Mistico runs up to RANA! The fans fire up and Mistico has MJF in a corner. MJF wants mercy, but Mistico says nope! Mistico runs up, but MJF YANKS him into buckles! MJF stomps away on Mistico, then goes to the other end to stand on the corner. MJF soaks up heat as he does the Pledge of Allegiance!

The fans boo, and MVP again reprimands MJF, he needs to be about business, not about trolling! MJF goes back to Mistico, drags him up, and he brings Mistico around, but Mistico JAWBREAKERS! Mistico runs, hops on, but MJF stops Code Red to reel Mistico in! POWER BREAKER! Cover, TWO! Mistico survives, MVP says this is still fine, and Grand Slam goes picture in picture. MJF sits Mistico up, and he pulls at the mask! MJF’s lucky this is an AEW based event, CMLL rules say this is tantamount to a disqualification! MJF rips at the eyehole, then clamps on a chinlock. MJF grinds Mistico down but Mistico endures.

MJF TOSSES Mistico out, distracts the ref, and the Hurt Syndicate attacks! BARRIER BACKBREAKER from Shelton! Shelton shoves Mistico back into the ring, MJF covers, TWO! Mistico is still in this but the ref is a bit suspicious of the Hurt Syndicate. MVP defends their innocence, and MJF puts Mistico on ropes. MJF CHOKES Mistico, the ref counts, and MJF stops at 4. This lets Lashley CHOKE Mistico and throw hands! The Hurt syndicate gets away with more, and MJF covers, TWO!

MVP tells fans to callete, they saw nothing! MJF stalks Mistico, stomps him on the foot, then has him on the ropes. MJF stomps him more, then soaks up heat. MJF drags Mistico up, scoops and carries him, then SLAMS him down! MJF huffs ‘n’ puffs while Grand Slam returns to single picture. MJF sits Mistico back up, runs the ropes, and then just steps up to pelvic thrust! The fans boo and Mistico is pissed now! MVP says no more trolling, MJF, he’s already told him that! MJF ROCKS Mistico, but Mistico eggs him on! MJF ROCKS Mistico, CLUBS him again and again, but then Mistico blocks to fire off forearms! And KICKS, SOBATS and KICKS!

Mistico survives, and both men are showing us why they were each record-setting champions in their companies! The fans rally up more and more, “ESTA LUCHA!” MVP talks with Lashley & Shelton, and MJF rises up. MJF goes to the apron, and then up the ramp? Is MJF quitting? Mistico rushes up after MJF, tilt-o-whirl and- NO, MJF stops La Mystica to hit a TOMBSTONE on the stage!! The ref hurries to check Mistico while the fans go nuts!

MVP hurries to check on MJF and tells him to get up. MJF grabs the ref and drags him away to the ring. MJF now wants the win by count out! The count begins, the fans count along, and Mistico is still down at tres. MJF lies down to mock Mistico, but Mistico rises at cinco!

Moxley is frozen in place, and now The Opps & Ospreay get in the ring! The Maniac decides discretion is the better part of valor, and The Death Riders are in retreat. But there’s no running from what’s coming! 24 days remain before All In, will they be the last 24 days Moxley has as champion?


My Thoughts:

Awesome night for AEW’s first show in Mexico, even with things going about how I expected. For one, Mone of course won the title, because why else would they even do this match if not to give her one more belt? Though, what’s wild is that she picked up another belt without much hype or press from AEW. I guess European Wrestling Alliance hopes this gets them some attention. But good stuff with Toni Storm’s noir video and the sneak attack. And I would hope Toni retains the title at All In to keep Mone from going Ultimo Dragon just yet.

Cash Wheeler and Claudio Castagnoli both had travel issues, so I understand subbing people in. But did a 12 Man Tag really need to become a 14 Man Tag for it? And seeing as how I don’t cover CMLL’s own programming, I have NO idea why Atlantis Senior & Junior are getting booed. Is it a “Cena Wins LOL” situation where Junior is winning too much? That’s the only thing I can really think of offhand. But naturally, the Faces of that match won, as The Don Callis Family was rolling last week and needed humbling. I would think we still get Adam Cole VS Kyle Fletcher 2 now, and maybe Kyle wins the title so that the Don Callis Family has something.

Although, Callis seems to be bringing Okada into the fold for whatever reason, so he could end up bringing the “Unified” Continental & International Championship to the family. Okada VS Briscoe was great, and naturally Okada got the win. Mistico VS MJF was great stuff, up until MJF gave up and gave Mistico the win there. I know MJF loves getting heat, but him being the first man to snatch Mistico’s mask away like that is some HUGE heat. Also, I think I said it way back during some feud Penta had in AEW, but are masks really sacred if they’re willing to let them get ripped, stretched, and even yanked away? Or has that been lucha libre kayfabe all along? Either way, great stuff with JetSpeed and the other luchadores showing up, lots of matches set up with that.

Great Fatal 4 Way, and great win for Hologram to stay undefeated, but I will again criticize needing to do money prizes for these things. They should’ve set Hologram up for a title match twice over by now but TK is apparently making Hologram his top undefeated guy. Like if Goldberg was more than just big and strong and could actually do stuff… Also, while they obviously didn’t work together the entire time, I just feel like Ricochet having Lio Rush & Action Andretti become his crew (what with them being CRU and all) is the right move. Or perhaps this story of finding a faction is going to be an ongoing gag that no one likes Ricochet and would never follow him.

Then a great 10 Man Tag main event, though a little redundant considering Anarchy in the Arena was only a few weeks ago. Still good stuff for everybody, especially Mortos since he got to sub in for Claudio. Of course Marina gets involved so that the Heels win, but great stuff with Hangman going after Moxley. Hangman did a great job in his promo speaking Espanol to show respect to the fans. Naturally, Moxley gets away, that’s his whole thing. I really hope Ospreay, Swerve and The Opps keep the Death Riders and Bucks at bay so Hangman doesn’t get screwed over at All In. It’d be garbage if, after all this time and energy, it doesn’t pay off with Hangman as the triumphant hero.

My Score: 9/10
