Irregardless of what people thought of AEW All Out, there was still a lot to like about this show. Some might complain about the show being too long, but instead, it was built up to a great conclusion as the night went on.
The Buy In pre-show was, arguably, better than the one at Double or Nothing. The Women's Casino Battle Royale was well produced and had some surprise appearances that fans weren't expecting. The finish was even more relevant as it didn't go as predicted.
But, throughout the show, there were great little moments that stood out. These ranged from entrances to surprise attacks and even just subtle moments during the match. Some would call these interesting, others will call them surprising, but wrestling fans just would love to use the word "awesome" to describe those events.
That's the thing about AEW right now: everything they produce falls into that category. Their humor is more in touch with the social media generation, and they're pushing people like Jungle Boy and Darby Allin more to appeal to that demographic, which could help their upcoming TV show on TNT.
Here are 5 things that stood out at All Out that reeked of awesomeness.
#5 Jimmy Havoc gets the chair
This match was perhaps the most violent of the night. All three men are known for their exploits in hardcore wrestling and Jimmy Havoc is the craziest of them all. All three men put their bodies on the line to deliver some violent but awesome moments throughout the match.
When both men tied Jimmy Havoc to the chair, it was probably one of the amusing moments of the match. While the segment became violent, it was highly humorous to see Jimmy Havoc, the oldest of the three, swearing at his opponents and looking crazed while doing so.
The match was also notable for the fact that it had an official sponsor and was known as the "Cracker Barrel Clash." Credit should go to AEW for renaming the hardcore match under a different name and giving it more personality, considering a barrel was used to finish the match. Perhaps, fans will see this match again in the future.
#4 Hangman Page rides a horse and goes full cowboy
During an interview with The Young Bucks, Hangman Page revealed that he wanted to ride on a horse for his entrance. All three men had stated, at the time, that this probably wouldn't happen because Tony Khan wouldn't approve it. Apparently, there were also logistical issues concerning the horse's safety and mobility.
Tony Khan apparently had a change of heart, as Page made him way to the ring on the back of a trusty steed. It was a dream come true for Hangman Page that AEW made it happen at their biggest show of the year. It also is remarkable, as a horse has rarely been used for an entrance in the modern era.
#3 A WCW Legend and WWE Hall of Famer returns to the ring
Arn Anderson was an original member of The Four Horsemen, alongside Tully Blanchard. His involvement in the match made perfect sense, and it was a perfect example of how to use wrestling history and its legends to a match's advantage. Nostalgia is a powerful tool and it's something that AEW is doing really well, with the legends complimenting the talent, rather than outshining them.
The segment was highly praised with The Rock even tweeting about it with glee. To put it bluntly, it was awesome!
#2 Orange Cassidy as the Lazy Vigilante
Orange Cassidy is akin to a Rorschach test in the wrestling world. His gimmick of lazily throwing kicks at people and no-selling has infuriated some in the professional wrestling industry. But others seem to get his act and love every minute he's in the ring. It was surprising that he was even signed by AEW.
On the flip side, AEW gave a glimpse of how they could use Orange Cassidy in the future. He appeared in the ring when the lights came in and proceeded to throw himself at the minions of the Dark Order in to save Trent Baretta from being taken away. The audience popped huge for this segment.
The match itself didn't get rave reviews and was just considered just "ok" by others. But the Orange Cassidy bit at the end certainly saved the match and enhanced it to greater heights. The Best Friends even hugged him at the end while he remained emotionless and not acknowledging their gesture.
It's apparent that this odd couple (trio?) pairing will be great for television. AEW will have to use Orange Cassidy in small "slices" so as to not bore the audience. He's a special attraction and AEW may have a plan for this "freshly squeezed" wrestler.
#1 Cody Rhodes and the Nightmare Family go Star Trek
The entrances at big professional wrestling events are always a big deal. Triple H, John Cena, and The Undertaker all have had some of the best entrances in professional wrestling - especially at WrestleMania. Professional Wrestling has always relied on popular culture references to connect with audiences. But it's rare that wrestling has referenced Star Trek.
Brandi Rhodes was decked out as Seven of Nine from Star Trek: Voyager, while Cody Rhodes had "Captain" written on the back of his belt, which was possibly a reference to Star Trek: The Next Generation. Does that make Cody Rhodes a Captain Picard mark? It's unclear, but it's still pretty cool to see Star Trek heavily referenced in this arena (I like Star Trek).
Cody Rhodes has always been a huge pop culture fanatic. He's a known comic book fan and it heavily influenced his Stardust gimmick. He turned that gimmick into something fascinating and he even had a "comic book" type of feud with Arrow star Stephen Amell.
While the entrance was awesome, the match was fantastic, thanks to a little help from WCW Legends like Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard.
