WOR Video: The AEW All In build could’ve been a lot better

Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez questioned some of the All In booking on Wrestling Observer Radio Thursday morning.

Both Meltzer and Alvarez thought that the number of segments on this week’s Dynamite featuring the heels beating up the babyfaces to set up three different matches for All In later this month was a bit much.

“There were ten segments and in eight of them there was an attack,” Alvarez pointed out.

“And it’s always the heels beating up the babyfaces,” Meltzer added.

“This all looks the same,” Meltzer added. “It’s like there’s this blueprint. But if you do the same thing over and over and over again, it’s not going to work. That’s the one thing with wrestling, you have to vary it.”

With so many matches being set up on Wednesday’s Dynamite, the question is why did AEW take so long in announcing the matches.

“My question is, why didn’t we start this build earlier?” Alvarez questioned.

Meltzer pointed out that some of the participants, including Eddie Kingston and Will Ospreay, only became available now as a result of the G1 Climax tournament ending. Others, he admitted, could have been announced earlier in the month.
