Cramming 800 finishes into a match before it is even halfway done might be ok periodically, but not every. single. match. Even the Joey Ryan dick flip was funny IN CONTEXT of the first time it was done (wrestling a guy who always went for a testicular claw, and having him suggest Ryan not only not sell, but actually reverse it because "American penis so big; so strong"): something that has been long since lost in all the time afterwards spent either having someone like Cornette only see the clip and focus on the spot itself or Joey making his penis into his whole one-dimensional gimmick. It was a time and place thing that was only good a hand full of times (not a pun). Instead, it was run into the ground.
I actually liked the Golden Bucks vs. Mysterio, Fenix, and Bandido match from All-In because it was frantic, fast paced, and short (due to time constraints which happens when you book a show full of people who have never had to bother with keeping things in a certain amount of time). It was the best match the Brothers Jackson were in that I've seen because of those facts. My only complaint was that it should have been the fourth match while keeping the same amount of time it had. Their style is best suited for 6 minute throw everything at the wall kind of matches, but they try to stretch it out and do other shit and it falls flat on its face.

As for Joey Ryan, I have said that one spot was only funny the one time and it had everything to do with it being a counter to Danshoku Dino. I prefer his Chase Stephens bit where he was a typical white meat babyface who just happened to be gay. His whole bit at All In was not worth watching, and I had to explain that to my Dad, who's 75.
