Behind the Scenes of All In London: A Night of Records and Reflections
AEW’s All In London at Wembley Stadium was not just another wrestling event; it was a historic occasion that will be etched in the annals of wrestling history. And who better to provide a backstage glimpse than the wrestling icon, Chris Jericho?
On a recent episode of his ‘Talk Is Jericho’ podcast, Jericho delved deep into the ambiance and energy that permeated the backstage during the event. He highlighted the unique aura that surrounds such grand shows, emphasizing the collective consciousness of its significance.
Before the event, there was a team-wide Zoom meeting, a platform to discuss the nitty-gritty and protocols. But Jericho, ever the veteran, took a moment towards the end to remind everyone to soak in the experience. He said, “Just enjoy this. This is not something that happens every day. It might never happen again.”
The event wasn’t just about the numbers, though they were staggering. All In London broke records with an unprecedented 81,000 fans in attendance. But for Jericho, who squared off against Will Ospreay in a memorable bout, it was about the experience. He mused, “Once again, the biggest wrestling show of all time. Think about that; I’ve been doing this for 33 years, and I’m having my biggest show ever on this day? After thousands and thousands of matches? Just a really cool vibe and a really cool moment.”
Jericho’s reflections underscore the monumental success of AEW and its soaring influence in the wrestling world. As he looks back on his 33-year journey, All In London stands out as a testament to his enduring legacy and the ever-evolving landscape of professional wrestling.
