When are they gonna start promoting All Out? Only 8 weeks away

I assume its sold out as all they seem to be advertising is the Arthur Ashe show
Tickets not even on sale yet. Some people are confused about that. They're probably taking a sell out for granted with it being in Chicago, but they just did Forbidden Door there so who knows (especially if Punk isn't back - but if he is, tickets will fly for Mox vs. Punk).
Konnan confirmed on his podcast that Santana and Ortiz are 'not on good terms'. No real surprise there.

Chi-Town gets All Out as expected and they're doing a Dynamite + live Rampage there too. I wonder if Punk will be back by then.

Forbidden Door is getting its own documentary on NJPW World. Can't wait. What an amazing show it was and deserves to be memorialized.

Is Fuego next to go? He got a contract (on TV) in August 2021 but it may have been 12 months. He's blacked out his profile pic and his bio points to his booking email. A shame if so, I love Fuego as a lively jobber and every promotion needs them.

Great to see some footage of Garcia's BOLA win finally surface. If AEW plays their cards right with this kid, he could be one of their next gen of main eventers. I don't think Yuta will get to that level, but Garcia can. I think he needs to bulk up, not because I'm a size queen, but because it'd suit his image better (plus he doesn't fly around the ring so a few extra pounds won't hurt).

@LifeInCattleClass Different Shota, this one is from DDT and a very small guy (close to Marko Stunt sized). Could appear on Dark I guess since AEW/DDT are affiliated, but pretty sure we won't see him on Dynamite/Rampage. He's more likely to do the GCW type promotions I think.

Billy GOAT vs. Kenny at Full Gear 2022, Wrestle Kingdom 2023 or Revolution 2023... or do it on the UK tour next year at a big arena.

AQA, who got signed and had the All Elite poster, is stepping away from wrestling for the immediate future. I think she was earmarked for ROH.

24-year-old Yuka Arai from TJPW is heading to the U.S. and AEW on an excursion. She lost in the second round of the Tokyo Princess Cup to Hikari Noa so wants to visit America to grow stronger as she has less than 50 matches in her career. She'll probably work Dark/Elevation as I don't think her profile is high enough to get on TV.

Tony Khan just confirmed the Briscoes are signed to long-term deals... to ROH. I guess he wants them but can't put them on AEW TV for the time being.
So Nick Aldis had the chance to be part of AEW's start-up and turned it down. Sounds like he has regrets.

On being loyal to NWA: “In 2019, I was given the opportunity to jump on the train with Tony Khan. Tony was very gracious to me. He gave me a phone call and we had a good conversation. Out of loyalty and gratitude, I decided to stay. I guess the train doesn’t stop twice. Now that I look back, who knows. That gets thrown back in my face. For what?”
FTR vs. Aussie Open could be a great clash of styles match. I'd like for AEW to host it, but NJPW could also run it on one of their U.S. shows.
