4 Ups & 8 Downs From AEW All Out 2020
2. It Largely Felt Like An Episode Of Dynamite
It's a refreshing positive that AEW don't produce a pay-per-view every single month, but that comes with a sneaky downside when those events don't feel like a big deal. All Out, aside from a few of the later matches, lacked the same aura that the first Double Or Nothing had. Hell, it didn't even come across as bigger than February's Revolution.
The onus is on AEW to ensure that each one of these shows feels special.
That should be the goal heading into November's Full Gear. The Khan family have the power and influence to work with Jacksonville's authorities and make some aesthetic changes to the venue before then too - that needs to happen, because the building looked a bit lifeless on Saturday night.
Look at what WWE has done with their purpose-built ThunderDome concept. Jon Moxley can dismiss it all he wants in the press, but the fact is that his promotion's latest pay-per-view looked like a regular episode of Dynamite on TNT.
