PAC doing a clean spot with Kenny Omega at All Out 2019 RIP to the bastard

This is an all timer reversal I can't fathom how he did it so clean, like the terminator here.

[u/NegativesPositives → u/TheGiftOf_Jericho]

Everything he did was superhumanly picture perfect in execution.

[u/ZantaraLost → u/TheGiftOf_Jericho]

Kenny being his leg high enough to not hook at the top of PACs head and that little shove forward he gave helped quite a bit keeping it clean.

[u/mikehulse29 → u/TheGiftOf_Jericho]

I remember this, and I definitely had to see it twice. It was shocking in the moment

[u/Wise_Passenger_6680 → u/TheGiftOf_Jericho]

I mean, one thing about Pac is that it looked like he practiced a lot. RIP, the guy was always amazing.

[u/he6rt6gr6m → u/TheGiftOf_Jericho]

Not to take away from the guys in the ring, but the production was on point with the camerawork as well. Makes this look magnificent on TV.

[u/TheGiftOf_Jericho → u/he6rt6gr6m]

Oh absolutely, wrestlers will be the first to tell you about all those great people that bring the show together, like the production team. Definitely perfectly shot here too.

Reason number 153728438 for him being one of the best.

RIP Bastard

His run against Kenny in the early days of AEW were phenomenal. Fuck man. AEW is being put through the ringer with deaths. Shit sucks.

[u/MokaNoMistake → u/brokencreedman]

That era of PAC and AEW was phenomenal. His matches with Omega and storytelling/in-ring work were absolutely top drawer. My favourite wrestler to watch

[u/Shphrd_Flln]

That was smooth AF.

[u/SomeCountryFriedBS → u/Shphrd_Flln]

It always was. 

[u/Newsinzz]

Goddamn he was so GOOD. Very bittersweet, but I'm eating up all these tribute posts to the Bastard today.

[u/irish0451]

The cool thing is they did callbacks to this several times over the years. They repeat the spot but Kenny immediately hits him with another move, then the next time PAC counters that one too. The storytelling of them learning and growing and countering the memorable moves is awesome stuff. You see it in Kenny's stuff and Will's stuff constantly. Maybe the best example I saw was the Ospreay/Shingo trilogy.

[u/CrystalFissure → u/irish0451]

The fact that we’re never getting another match between the two ever again is gutting. Their chemistry was incredible.

[u/AgentFoo → u/irish0451]

It's my favourite NJPW-style thing that AEW does

[u/ThatsBretsRope]

One of my favorite spots ever.

[u/Comprehensive_Slip71]

Perfectly countered then talked some shit afterwards 😂 what a Bastard 🖤

[u/SDMonkee]

He was soooo smooth

[u/UThinkUKnowMe2]

Rest easy "The Bastard whom Gravity Forgot."

[u/Extension-Gift4987]

His matches with Kenny really helped to put AEW on the map and explain what AEW was going to be. I always hoped we'd get Kenny mixing it up with the Deathriders so we could run it back.

[u/wrestling_hyperbole]

Loved the PAC and Kenny feud - I'll never forget PAC just constantly screaming that he wanted his rubber match.

[u/Texas_Kimchi]

One of my all time favorite spots. I show this to friends when they ask about AEW.

[u/kfm975]

I remember saying to a friend at the time that that was my favourite moment in the entire show. Still true.

[u/Esternaefil]

I just keep hoping that we're going to get a follow up "got you!" announcement and this was all just a horrible, tasteless prank.

I'm so sad that this is real.

[u/722e672e722e]

This is what made every single subsequent match a must watch for me.  

[u/VersionX]

PAC was straight magic in the ring. He was always importantly positioned, but he should have been a multi-time World Champion without question

[u/GoalSimilar2025]

I still can’t believe this. That sexy bastard was pure talent. 

[u/el_toro_grand]

Fun fact this was the first AEW match I ever saw, it's the reason I started keeping on eye on the company, not quite yet watching, but I knew AEW was going to be something absolutely magical, both of these men are gods

[u/SodaDustt]

PAC had two of the best, company-defining matches in early AEW between this and the Orange Cassidy match at Revolution, I still cannot believe he'll never get that World Champion run he would've gotten earlier had it not been for visa issues...

[u/Entire_Brick_8095]

THIS is the match that made me fall in love with AEW, PAC and Kenny Omega

Truly unbelievable!

I had just started watching wrestling with my husband when we saw this. I had watched some WWE with him before this but then we fell off because we weren't liking the product. Then AEW launched with All Out 2019. This was the move that made me fall in love with wrestling and AEW. This spot will always hold a place in my heart

[u/Acrobatic_Ad_5465]

I’ve been looking for this spot for so long now. Should’ve guessed it was against Kenny loool

[u/HTDS2]

When this happened everyone knew shit was going into go into overdrive, , the best OH MY SHIT reversal i seen

[u/leapord_speed]

R.I.P Pac, gone but never forgotten.
