Ladies and gentlemen it's been about five or possibly even six months since I last reviewed anything from AEW AKA All Elite Wrestling and well I thought that i'd put an end to that dry streak right now. I will say that the event that i'm about to review is perhaps the most mixed event in AEW history simply because when this event was first broadcast a few days ago wrestling fans cannot not and could not / couldn't decide on if they like / liked this event or not nor can wrestling fans decide on if this was a good event or not and so here is my review of the event that is called simply "AEW Blood And Guts" enjoy.
I will very fully admit that i've not been keeping up that much with the AEW product simply because I just don't have the time to watch another wresting show and with that being said I did find it a little bit difficult to keep up with the plot lines that are currently going on in AEW. With that being said the stories that were very easy to follow like the fact that SCU could break up if they loose there next match was / were very easy to follow but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.
One of the things that I didn't like about AEW Dynamite when it first started was he fact that they didn't really take full advantage of or do anything with the tunnels that they have on the stage and well i'm pleased to say that issue does / has seemed to be resolved. Since here you see both faces (good guys) and heels (bad guys) walk out of both tunnels which means that there's isn't that much dead space in the set / stage.
However now tho I have a slight issue with the fact that there's no ramp into or even near the ring and as well as the fact that there's a podium on the stage for no reason. Now the fact that there isn't a ramp could be due to the fact that The Daily's Place could be a small arena and they simply couldn't fit a ramp in there but it means a lot of dead space between the stage and the ring which really could have been filled in a bit just to remove that dead space and they could or even should have removed the podium that they have on the stage simply because it's there for no reason whatsoever and so it's a pointless edition to the stage in my opinion.
Now then boys and girls gimmick matches have been around for a long time with some gimmick matches becoming very well known so well known infact that they have an entire event named after them. Sadly tho I cannot see AEW continuing using the titular Blood And Guts match simply because it comes across as a rip off of the War Games match from both WCW and WWF / WWE and as such I do very strongly feel that if AEW were to continue the titular Blood And Guts match then AEW should put more of an effort into making this match stand out from the very similar War Games match.
I have to say that not only are the rules of the Blood And Guts match almost the exact same as the War Games match but visually both the Blood And Guts and as well being the War Games match look the exact same. Which to me at least only adds to my theory that the Blood And Guts match type is a rip off / a knock off of the War Games match and as such I very do strongly feel that WWE / Vince McMahon would have grounds to possibly even sue AEW simply due to the fact that Vince McMahon owns both WCW and the War Games match type.
What I personally found to be very shocking is the fact that there's only one woman's match on the entire match card / card / show / event and that one woman's match which is one this show is a squash match and nothing more. Which is a shame because AEW / All Elite Wrestling does (from what I can recall / remember at least) have a very good women's division which is filled with women who can wrestle and so it's just a shame that those women aren't been / being given the opportunity to show us the fans what they can actually do in the ring.
Now i've seen a few articles reporting on the hate that the fall Chris Jericho took at the end of the Blood And Guts and while I can see their point of view since the fall isn't as impactful as it perhaps could have been. What we all have to remember is that Chris Jericho is in his fifties now and he is very quickly approaching his mid fifties and so to expect him to a very dangerous fall at his age would be stupid and so having him fall onto what is basically a load of boxes is the best that we could have possibly have hoped for at this point in time but with that being said I do feel that the fall would have had more of an impact if however was taking the fall landed on a padded concrete floor of if the cameras didn't make it so obvious that Chris Jericho was going to be landing on what like I said just said was a bunch of boxes that have been rigged so it's a little bit more safer for the wrestler taking the fall.
Now then boys and girls this event / episode of AEW (All Elite Wrestling Dynamite has a grand total running time of one hour and fifty minuets and fifteen seconds and well this episode really didn't need to be that long at all. Simply because the matches that are on this show / card / match card don't last that long in fact about from the Blood And Guts match all of the matches that are on this show / card / match card / show card / show match card / match show card all come in at less then twenty minuets long. With the Blood And Guts and Guts match coming in at somewhere around thirty minuets but really does make this even drag is the fact that there's a really long Kenny Omega and Orange Cassidy promo near the end of this show and the fact that for no reason the commentators spend at least five minuets just after the Kenny Omega / Orange Cassidy promo just saying that the Blood And Guts match type is up next.
Now then boys and girls this show is of course a wrestling show and that means that I have to talk about the actual wrestling that's featured / presented to us in the actual wrestling show itself and well I honestly do feel that the wrestling that's featured / presented to us in this show is honestly pretty good. With all of the wrestlers that are featured on this show / event putting in some really good wrestling with perhaps my favourite matching being either the Kenny Omega and Michael Nakazawa Vs Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston or the fatal four way elimination tag team match for a chance to face The Young Bucks for the AEW World Tag Team Championship next week on AEW Dynamite or of course the titular Blood And Guts match just due to how insane that match is and as well being how insanely good some of the moves in the titular Blood And Guts match are but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest opinion anyways.
Overall I honestly have very mixed feelings about this event since even tho some of the matches were in my opinion at least really freaking good there were alot of things that made this event feel very boring to me in my very humble and as well as being my very honest opinion at least / anyways. Now then boys and girls i've talked about both of the very good things in this show / event and as well as both of the very bad things that are in this show / event which means that this pro wrestling show / pro wrestling event gets a 6.5 out of 10 from me personally.
As for where I got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from either the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page or Google Images and well I cannot actually tell you which website I prefer to use for the images that I personally used in this very review. Since even tho the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page doesn't have any images from the actual event the images that I personally did use from the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page seemed to mix from either fairly high quality to fairly low quality to really high quality and even tho Google Images has a lot more verity of images from this actual event the images that are on Google Images range from either fairly high quality to high quality.
