11 Ups & 0 Downs From AEW All Out 2021

10. Eddie Kingston Fails In Success Of A Sequel Set-Up

AEW is a tremendous finish company. It doesn't get enough credit for that. They are operating at prime Pat Patterson levels.

Bryce Remsburg's conscientiousness allowed Miro to blast Eddie Kingston in the balls as he protected his friend from the exposed turnbuckle in a layered use of AEW's holistic universe.

What a flex this was, too; the incompetence of the referees is a valid complaint and has been since AEW's inception. Building a finish around a referee upholding the rules and creating a safe environment while unusual was a very smart means of protecting the beloved Eddie Kingston character as much as it was a well overdue development in and of itself.

The Chicago crowd adored Eddie Kingston as if he wasn't from New York. He is universally beloved and he demonstrated why that is with a gutsy, spellbinding performance. This was a great, strategic story told with a fabulous badass rhythm of defiance and the fury that resented that defiance. Physical and convincing, Kingston's fire-up spots ruled so much that it required something brutal from Miro to get the finish over - and he cleaned Kingston's clock with a fantastic full-force thrust kick.

This might have been Miro's best ever match. His presence and intimidation was unparalleled on the night, and his vertical leap into a dropkick was jaw-dropping.

This has to be ran back at Arthur Ashe stadium.
