That channel TNA is on sucks. I used to set my DVR for it. Some weeks it would tape two hours. Some weeks it would tape 4 half hour shows. When you can't even get that right...

I have cable and I don't have any problems with my DVR ... including watching TNA if I want to.

Sorry about your problems and have you done anything about it?

My Grade of AEW ALL OUT PPV


The 21-Woman Casino Battle Royale - Nyla Rose Won

It wasn't all that bad, and they should had done better, the only thing that I liked about it is Mercedes Martinez had a nice showing and I felt that Rose was scripted to win this thing of which it was painfully obvious. Bea Priestley needs some work to do and she is a good talent to go by.
GRADE C


Private Party vs. Jack Evans and Angelico - Private Party Won

I don't know anything about these two and I find this match interesting and a bit entertaining and all that.
GRADE B-


SoCal Uncensored vs. Luchasaurus, Jungle Boy and Marko Stunt -SoCal Uncensored Won

Highly Entertaining Indeed and it was good all around - GRADE A-


Cracker Barrel Clash: Darby Allin vs. Joey Janela vs. Jimmy Havoc - Havoc Won

Another Winner in my book.
GRADE A-


Kenny Omega vs. Pac - Omega Won

This match was a good match and should had ended a draw in my book.
GRADE A



More tomorrow and need time to think.

On TNA, it doesn't have anything to do with me, it's the way the show is listed on Directv. Sometimes it shows up as a 2 hour show, and other times it's 4 half hour shows. It's weird. I still dvr it but I can't say when I actually watched it.

Your AEW grades are pretty good. The women's battle royale was a bit of a mess, and there was really an OMG entrant. I never heard of the person who came in at 21. Maybe Secondwhiteline has. The camera work was pretty subpar. There were a lot of spots during the whole show that the camera missed. It became a bit of a running joke here. Overall it was pretty good, $50 is still steep. I guess they want to do 4 per year, and that's $200. That's a bit high for my taste. Yeah, the WWE Network breaks down to $120 a year, but you get so much more. After an AEW ppv you got nothing but a $50 replay. Having a billionaire owner who has a freaking NFL team, and TNT and Bleacher Report both being owned by Time Warner, I would think they could be a little less.

I paid for All In and All Out, but I can't see myself putting out $50 every few months. It just doesn't seem worth it. I'll for sure watch the weekly show.

More from All Out - AEW Wrestling


Best Friends vs. The Dark Order to Earn a 1st-Round Tournament Bye
Dark Order wins - Grade A-

It was probably my favorite match in this PPV it was all out war, exciting ... brutal at the end and it was excellent. I like these tag teams and they were a breath of fresh air.


Riho vs. Hikaru Shida for the 2nd Spot in the AEW Women's Championship Match
Riho def. Shida - Grade A-


Excellent and another winner. I don't know these two that well. Full of fury, fast, exciting and downright fun to watch.

Cody verses Shawn Spears - Grade C-

i expected more from this and I was surprised to see Tully Blanchard assisting Shawn. It was very disappointing for me and Cody should had done better. Cody won.

The Lucha Brothers vs. The Young Bucks - Grade B+

Nice Match and it was very good and I was surprised to learn the Lucha Brothers was LAX and that was a major coup. Man, this match got better, better as time goes by.

Jericho def. Page for the AEW CHAMPIONSHIP
GRADE A-


Page was good, but Jericho at the age 48 still commands respect and I just loved the way these two battling it out.

I have a buddy that I went to his house and paid $25; we split half and half.

I agree that the PPV should had been much less $35 to $40.

Direct TV doesn't handle TNA that well. COMCAST does a better job.

All in All Out FINAL GRADE is an B+

I like this belt ... looks really different ...

IMPACT WRESTLING is thinking of buying ROH and this is total nonsense to me.

https://wrestletalk.com/news/report-impact-wrestling-in-talks-to-buy-ring-of-honor/

A friend of mine told me about this and this really kind of untrue and Jim Cornette don't think it will happen. I don't think so either.

Smackdown moving to FOX soon and AEW will start on October 2nd; and Vince McMahon is pulling dirty tricks (not confirmed yet) towards AEW and he might be sued by the people that runs AEW and don't know what's the culprit is and it's doesn't look good for WWE at all. The next draft by WWE will be make or break for them and might be some problems of keeping the talent that they want. I heard that Kevin Owens may be leaving WWE and go elsewhere; I don't know where and looks like he may head to AEW eventually (questionable) for now.

AEW Dynamite looks real good and I'm thinking that this will helps out the competition and more people are enjoying it better than NXT. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and looks like we finally gave WWE more competition and I hope that ROH and IMPACT will get better too and that alone will crush WWE Monopoly on Professional Wrestling.

IMPACT is slowly getting better and ROH is holding on it's own. Lucha Underground is okay, but ... I don't watch it anymore.
