I guess it's a big deal but the actual announcement left me only mildly whelmed
Sammy isn't the only one who could use a promo coach

Wembley Stadium is the reason why this is huge. That's 90,000 fucking people dude. Those are Wrestlemania numbers.

If my PW brothers and sisters across the pond aren't at Wembley on August 27th I'm personally flying over there to fight every single one of you.

I expect Punk back for that and Ospreay, ZSJ and maybe even dragging out old man Johnny Saint.

RT I think Khan needs to work on his delivery, I just needed to be sold on it more than I was

Like I am all for Tony going to bigger arenas, but you kind of step up. He had 8.1k paid at Revolution. He can fit 80k at Wembley.

IMO it's going to be a harder sell than the original All In -- that one was a worldwide indy supershow and this one is going to have to build mostly off its own talent/storytelling abilities but considering it's their first (I think?) non-North American event it's got potential. London is itself a top tier tourist destination anyway and we'll see how many European fans the fed has.

One good thing about the UK show is there is no reason now for PAC to not appear.

I do not want Punk back but if you want close to 80k you bring in anyone who can draw.
Do Punk vs MJF again if they want to do Elite vs BCC, but you get Punk on that card, then buy him out the next night if you have to.
Tony blows this show he may not recover from it.

Could be wrong, but didn't WWE stop running Wembley because they could not fill it, and moved to the O2 instead? Like that is my concern. It's ballsy for sure, but really only one way to find out.

Does AEW have much of a fan base in the UK? Not being a hater just genuinely curious.
AEW only just started airing on EPSN in Australia for example, before that only the hardcore fans that wanted to buy on Fite could see it.
90k seems like a huge number.

Nearly everyone here is a hater. Jamie Hayter is great.

This is why no one runs there for wrestling really. It is a HUGE fucking number. WWE's 5th highest drawing show was 80k at Wembley for Summerslam 92. Only 6 wrestling shows broke that number, 4 Wrestlemanias (32, 3, 35, 29) and two WCW shows in Korea (Collision in Korea) that drew like 150k.

More perspective, Tony needs to match the last several Wrestlemania crowds with this show. I just do not see it. Would love it if he does, but to me this is just absolutely insane. It is like he needs 10% of London to show up.

Also who are the biggest UK stars Tony could reasonably get?
ZSJ is a given. Will if he is healthy. PAC, Sayara, Storm he has. Miro as a weird stretch. But who else that could draw?

I'm with cBut, does Wembley has a smaller events centre next door to use instead? 80,000 is fucking nuts. He really is all in, it's really all or nothing. TK is going to have need Punk v Okada to main event and the zombie corpse of Rowdy Roddy Piper refing to fill that thing. Yikes.

I could see 20-30K, but the rest will either be heavily discounted or straight up papered. That's good for our UK posters, but even then, London isn't exactly a stone's throw away so I doubt free tickets would be a selling point when you have to consider transport and accomodation.
