7 Reasons Why You MUST Watch ALL IN
6. There Is Something For EVERY Wrestling Fan On The Show
Forgive the hyperbole - but godd*mnit, that's what effective wrestling promotion should inspire - ALL IN is closer to WrestleMania X-Seven than it is any New Japan Pro Wrestling or Ring Of Honor card.
The Rey Mysterio, Fénix and Bandido vs. Kota Ibushi and The Young Bucks six-man tag team main event is bottled bloody adrenaline with the potential to surpass the jaw-dropping please-don't-stop! heights of those old Dragon Gate in ROH crossover sky fights. Kenny Omega Vs. Pentagon pits the best wrestler in the world - in career form - against a badass submission sadist.
If you aren't hugely fond of Marty Scurll's cake-and-eat-it babyheel shtick, no matter; Kazuchika Okada is going to make it rain all over his face in what is guaranteed, again, to be something very, very good at a minimum. Jay Lethal will wrestle a surprise opponent for his Ring Of Honor World Championship, so we've no way of knowing how that will fare - but that surprise factor is the rush on which wrestling is built.
A Chicago Street Fight between Joey Janela and Hangman Page promises a bit of the old ultra-violence, since the former popularised Jeff Hardy's new apron swanton spot and the latter enjoys performing moonsaults off balconies. And, even if one of those men actually dies, Joey Ryan should rise from the grave to avenge his "death" and p*ss on his murderer's grave.
Stephanie McMahon won't be there to preface the women's four-way match with a masturbatory 15-minute promo, and Christopher Daniels, as synonymous with the Indies as the Canadian Destroyer, will get his moment in the mainstream sun by wrestling a legit celebrity in a well-earned showcase of his epic, can-work-anybody career.
ALL IN isn't an easy, casual sequence of dream matches; it is an eclectic card of action that will not exhaust a rabid audience.
