JNPO: Pro wrestling year in review – The fallout from AEW All Out
While the Vince McMahon WWE story was the biggest of 2022, coming in a close second has to be the situation involving CM Punk, the Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, Ace Steel, and the Brawl Out after AEW All Out.
We talk about that and more in the latest entry in my 2022 pro wrestling year in review series, specifically looking at the month of September. Joining me is first time guest Colin McGuire, a columnist and writer for ProWrestling.net.
Colin and I discuss the event itself and all of the fallout which was shrouded in mystery and shoulder shrugs as no one knew what was going on, perpetuated by a questionable narrative of legal reasons that prevented anything from being said.
We also talk about the highly-successful WWE Clash at the Castle and, perhaps, a missed moment for the company as it relates to Drew McIntyre. We also talk the debut of the much-ballyhooed White Rabbit social media campaign.
We chat about the second annual AEW Grand Slam Dynamite & Rampage, more WWE returns, the constant drumbeat in NJPW, Impact, the indies, and everything in between.
