I would not take SRS seriously at all given no one backs up his claims.

I’m actually impressed by how loud it sounds. Wembley is famously mediocre for its atmosphere, owing to its wide, dome-like shape. I don’t think I’ve heard it sound louder.

God I hope the backstage rumors are true and we see Jack suspended for Punk getting physical with him backstage.

Following results looks like all of the Collision guys were put on first. Likely will end the boycott for the Cole / MJF match. Most of this card does not interest me so just watching clips passively as they pop up elsewhere, but even as someone who never was big on Cole, him and MJF have chemistry off the charts for this arc. Cole also seems to bring out the absolute best in MJF and likely with this program will sent MJF to WWE.

Killer tag match so far.

THE STAMPEDE'S NEXT!!!

Also will say the Nigel JR pairing for commentary is wild to see. Not sure they ever got to work together but JR tried to get Nigel into WWE when he was still scouting. He may not be wrestling Wembley, but Nigel did get to work it. And frankly, he can do more behind the desk these days than in the ring most likely.

Also with everyone passing, gonna be a real sad day when we no longer get to hear JR. He may make mistakes but he still remains the voice of wrestling.

Well, AEW just blew through Orange's career pyro budget.

Crazy how many Chikara guys are in this match.

HOLY FUCK!!! Those skewers were stuck on Mox's head!

Well, I’m dipping. Not my cup of tea, pun completely intended. Have a good one boys. Congrats to AEW on a history making night!

Ooh, we're seeing the Obscuro side of Penta now.

BLOOD ORANGE PUNCH!!!

People saying after the Jack fight, his mom left to check on him, and left the show. Seems like Jack was thrown out for his body colliding with Punk's hands and Punk hid in his locker room surrounded by his security.

Wow. The fans are more behind Shida, than they are for Saraya.

And now details of the fight emerging Punk got in Jack's face, Jack pushed Punk and Punk choked him.  Jack sent home.


And OMFG Sweet Sayara appeared o.O

And Nigel hyped her o.O

Child abuse!

Happy for Saraya to have this moment in her home country. But it's kinda sad that Shida's reign was pretty short.

I cannot believe Vince never did a moment like this. Alway unreal he never used the family. Cannot believe how good Ricky looked as he looked real rough in his pandemic streams.

Sting hits for six!

The drama never ends with Punk, does it?

Nope, only one thing left, Tony needs to sign AEW over to him, but continue to paying for it.

I mean, if the dirt sheets are correct about what happened here, Punk is within his rights.

If you want to implement stand your ground rules in the workplace, sure. Most companies so not support employees choking other employees whatever the reason or who started things. Anyone here has an employee push them at work and chokes them in response will be getting fired.

Still, it is all SRS mostly reporting so got to take it all with a grain of salt. Drama is run but who knows what is and is not true anymore when SRS is the source.

Guessing though pillar metaphor is gonna die down, as remove a pillar and risk everything collapsing.

Well how about that? Another countryman wins at home.

Someone brought up a good point in a discord I chill on, with 80k paid, this means they got to try to run again next year right?

I wouldn’t. I would do it every few years to let the demand build back up again. I’ve been burned doubting AEW before so I’m not saying they couldn’t do it, but it would for sure be difficult to do it next year as well.

I think a better idea is to repurpose All In as AEW WrestleMania and move it every year but hold it in a stadium. That’s probably unlikely though because it would impact All Out.

I would just either retire the show, or rebadge as a set-up, or fallout episode of Dynamite.

This show got 80k with a weak ass card. Do ZSJ vs DB and shit next year and I am sure they could make profit. Moving it will be card, as London's benefit is it is a tourist hub and can support travel easily. And I think profit was something super low like 30k or 35k.  

So floor is easy to hit, and ceiling for profit is larger than any other market they can run.

Cards don’t sell wrestling shows and haven’t for years. When was the last WWE/AEW show that wasn’t 80% sold before a match was announced?

That is mostly because people look at the US market, where tickets are bought by scalpers who then can resell right on the ticketmaster site with a steep markup.

WM sold out for instance, but almost no one who bought tickets plan to attend.
