Mick Foley interviews The Bang Bang Gang.

The Hardcore Legend says hello to the AEW fans, and he says we’re backstage here with “Coach Juice” as he puts the Bang Bang Gang through their paces. How’re the boys looking, Coach? Juice says Ace is on a tight quad but his quads are always tight. Other than that, just focus on the fundamentals. Any specific tactics they’re going to use tonight? Juice says they’re just gonna exploit the other team’s defense. Clark Connors cannot stop the run and Wheeler Yuta has a very weak pass defense.  Jay White says don’t forget, David Finlay is just a nepo-baby b- Okay, okay, just focus. Foley asks Juice how he feels about the rules being No Disqualifications.

Yeah, no rules works in their favor. Tonight they know it is about keeping their heads on a swivel and persevering. They will show the world why The Bang Bang Gang are the baddest gunslingers in wrestling! Then hypothetically, what if they’re not down with that? White isn’t sure why Foley wouldn’t be, so he can just say it with them. If you ain’t down with that, they’ve got just two words for ya: GUNS UP! Coach Juice then blows the whistle and the team heads out. Will tonight be a touchdown for the Collision Cowboys? Or will they fumble and let the Death Dogs take it to the house?

 

Tailgate Brawl – No Disqualifications 8 Man Tag: The Bang Bang Gang VS Daniel Garcia, Wheeler Yuta, Clark Connors & David Finlay!

Well, as if there’s no rules holding them back, The Dogs are already bringing something for the festivities: A KEG! 100 Proof carries it on his shoulder with ease, and then Garcia & Yuta are wearing Death Rider football helmets and shoulder pads! Garcia tells Marina to slap him like she does Moxley, but he makes sure his helmet is on first. Marina smack him on the head, and he’s fired up for the “game!” Then Bang Bang Gang makes their entrance, White even wearing a cowboy hat. The teams line up, the bell rings, and HIKE! The brawl is on! The fans fire up as Bang Bang Gang has possession, with White, Ace and Colten stomping away in the corners.

Austin TOSSES Yuta out, then pursues! But then Garcia turns things around on Colten and stomps away! Ace whips Clark but Clark reverses, only for Ace to dodge and DROPKICK! White whips Finlay, Finlay reverses, but White dodges to BACKDROP! The fans cheer White, and they cuss out Yuta, and the Bang Bang Gang sets up. What’s the play, Coach? Juice gives the signals, and Bang Bang Gang break the huddle. They whip Finlay into the corner, then Ace forearm SMASHES! Colten SPLASHES! White SMASHSE! Austin SPLASHES! Yuta is up but Ace kicks him down! Ace takes the ball, Austin sets up, and HIKE!

White has the ball, but uh, he still isn’t that familiar with American football, so he’s not sure what to do. Colten says it’s like rugby. White passes him the ball, and Colten THROWS it at Finlay! The Rebel is just annoyed, but he runs into a DDT! White covers, TWO! Colten SPIKES the ball on Finlay while the others fight off Yuta, Garcia, and Connors. Things spill outside, Ace reels Garcia in, but Garcia fights off the suplex. White CHOPS Finlay, pursues to the outside, but Finlay kicks low!

Yuta & Garcia soak up heat, and now Garcia sets up. Hike to Yuta, he hands off to Connors, and Finlay blocks as he RUNS over White! Connors RUNS over Colten! Finlay CLOBBERS Ace! But Austin hurdles, only for Connors to SPEAR! Unnecessary roughness aside, Death Dogs are leading as Tailgate Brawl goes picture in picture.

Garcia talks trash, the Death Dogs soak up heat, then they send Bang Bang Gang into railing. Connors looks under the ring while Yuta stomps around. Wait, is that a grill? Well, it is still a tailgate… And wait, is that a cornhole board and beanbags? Finlay reels White in, but White BACKDROPS him onto the cornhole! But Yuta UPPERCUTS White, to SLAM him onto the cornhole! Connors SMACKS Colten off the grill, then SLAMS the lid shut on him! Helps give it that smokey flavor. Then a Cycle of Violence starts on Austin in the corner! LARIAT, ELBOW, UPPERCUT, repeat! They keep going, then Finlay feeds Ace to an ELBOW from Garcia!

The Death Dogs storm around, flexing and soaking up heat. Juice blows his whistle, but No Disqualifications also means no coach’s challenges.

Juice gets the fans fired up behind Bang Bang Gang this S-A-T-U-R, D-A-Y NIGHT, but Marina has her own orders. And she has a megaphone! But wait, Ace has the football, and he sets up at the top of the ramp. The fans fire up as Ace dares the Death Dog defense to bring it! Ace hurdles Connors, jukes Finlay, CLOBBERS Garcia, then tosses the ball to Yuta so he can HEEL KICK him down! The fans fire up for that massive first down run!

The fans fire up, and now Austin grabs the keg! The fans fire up and chant for “KEG! KEG! KEG!”

Bang Bang Gang has Finlay on the goal line, and Finlay’s bravado fires him up. But that just gets him JAB after JAB and HAYMAKER after HAYMAKER! The fans fire up as the Bang Bang Gang winds up! “GUNS UP! SUCK IT!” FAMOUSER on the keg!! Austin takes some damage in return but he covers, only for MARINA to break it! The fans boo, but here comes Coach Juice! The fans cheer as Juice throws down his hat, his headset, and his clipboard! He storms into the ring and tells Marina that she’s not a player, she’s a coach! YELLOW FLAG! But Marina THROWS Juice down for MOTHER’S MILK!!

Winners: The Bang Bang Gang, by pinfall

TOUCHDOWN! The Tailgate Brawl ends as the Collision Cowboys stand tall! But will this be the same during the PPV? Or will the Death Riders come back in the fourth quarter?

 

The winds that gather here carry with them power.

That power can bring great reclamation, or great destruction. The power of generational change, and the power of an entirely new force. The Second City rises once more from the fires of past wars to create something greater than before. Because in this place, there is no other possible way but to go All Out.

My Thoughts:

An awesome night for All Out, but in the time it took me to finish the show and do this part of the write-up, it is tragic news to hear about the passing of Ben Satterley, aka PAC. He had such a great match with Andrade El Idolo tonight, and was a great part of the main event’s overbooked chaotic finish, it is completely devastating to learn he’s gone. Dynamite’s plans will of course change, but this is another heavy blow after Andy “The Butcher” Williams’ passing.

Another fun preshow, and Jack Perry winning over Shibata with that pin counter was a clever finish. Samoa Joe has accepted the challenge, but of course he knocks Jack out for stepping to him at all. The Sisters of Sin get a good win, because they’re clearly up next to face The Brawling Birds. Brawling Birds had a great Street Fight with Divine Dominion, but I’m a little surprised it didn’t theme itself to Chicago a bit more. The thumbtacks was a nice touch, though. Bang Bang Gang VS Death Dogs in that Tornado 8 Man having a lot of football theming was fun, and great win for the Collision Cowboys.

Darby & Borden VS Knight & Kyle was off to a great start, so it’s even more unfortunate Borden got knocked out by his own “dueling Coast2Coast” with Knight. Sounds like he’s alright, though, if he’s talking and remembering. Kyle & Knight move on, they’ll make good Heel opponents for The Young Bucks. That ladder match was exactly what we knew it would be and it was awesome. As I figured, C&C were technically standing tall on the go home, so someone else was getting these belts tonight. Great story for The Bucks, too, as they finally reach their goal. Bucks VS Kyle & Knight will be great, and we might get some more Elite VS Don Callis Family interactions where Kenny Omega is dragged into things to help The Bucks.

The Open Challenge was a bit of a giveaway that Persephone was winning tonight, but Dani Luna had an awesome debut, and she even won the fans over. If Dani is truly All Elite, she can help power up the TBS Championship scene, maybe even the ROH Women’s Division. Ciampa VS Okada was great for both in-ring action and interaction between Okada and the Ciampa family. In the end, Callis’ cheating didn’t cost Okada or screw Ciampa, it was just Okada’s world champ level perseverance. Not sure who could take this title off Okada unless they’re waiting for Takeshita to return. Takeshita is a bit more focused on NJPW right now since he won the G1. Shockingly, Takeshita just lost the NJPW World TV Championship, who knows what that means for his world title chances.

Great Trios Championship match, especially because we knew Hangman and Swerve would be going after each other more than anything. Creed going for power game and then Bandido upping the stakes on that was great, but I figured Swerve & New Level would retain. There’s a good chance New Level will want to prove themselves against The Bucks, too, so I could see there being some drama if the two sides go back and forth, a world tag title match followed by a trios title match, and everyone wondering if Hangman becomes the third man in that scenario.

Willow VS Thekla was a great match, on par with their world title match, but it seems Thekla VS Mone is the move for WrestleDream. That will be a very fun feud with how they both have such attitude, and Heel VS Heel can be a lot of fun. And the main event was of course awesome. Another “win entrance” for Ospreay, the Assassin’s Creed franchise loves Ospreay, and Ospreay burning the Death Rider banner was definitely part of the tell. A ref going down and then the chaos was great, too, very fitting of how Ospreay is building his AEW United Empire, and what a cinematic finish with how Moxley knew he was in trouble and accepted his fate.

Moxley still being Continental Champion, he’s got any number of challengers to face on the road to Worlds End, and we still gotta figure out when and where Andrade wants his shot at Ospreay, so this is big stuff for AEW going into the Autumn season.

My Score: 9.2/10
