Mercedes Mone has high praise for one match at AEW All Out.
Writing in the latest edition of her Mone Mag newsletter, TBS Champion Mercedes Mone gave her thoughts on AEW All Out on September 7th. The star admitted that some of the violence on the show was hard to watch, and talked her conflicting feelings on the brutal attack on Bryan Danielson at the hands of the Blackpool Combat Club.
“All Out was extremely violent, and honestly, Daniel Bryan’s stuff was tough to watch. I have mixed emotions. When done right, that kind of stuff can tear a roof off like Daniel’s did. However, I wouldn’t want my brother Joshua to watch stuff like that, or kids, for that matter.
Let’s face it, wrestling is multi-generational. When I do signings, I greet so many parents and their children. Growing up, I didn’t have a father, so it especially warms my heart to meet families and hear how much their wrestling viewing experiences and memories mean to them.
Then again, there is an audience that loves the extreme, and you want to cater to them, too.”
“Our Women’s Division Just Keeps Ascending” – Mercedes Mone
However, Mone admitted that despite her reservations about violence, she was glued to the monitor when it came to the street fight between Willow Nightingale and Kris Statlander.
“Okay, here I am talking out of both sides of my mouth. After sharing some strong thoughts on extreme wrestling, I’ll state, hands down, Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale’s street fight absolutely stole the show. It was one of the best women’s matches of the year, and one of the greatest women’s street matches I have ever seen-ever! I mean it. I couldn’t take my eyes off the monitor. Kris and Willow hooked me from go. Our women’s division just keeps ascending.”
Having successfully defended the TBS Title at All Out, Mercedes Mone might have a new challenger in the form of the returning Anna Jay.
