AEW All In Announced for August 27th, 2023

WCW will always have my heart so seeing AEW break its record is bittersweet for me, but I also believe in AEW and having a legit WCW-level second place promotion on the international stage outside of NJPW is needed for the wrestling lifeblood.

yeah was saying in the main chat at this point, its a foregone conclusion they will beat that number. they dont even have a card announced yet

That’s wild to think about that they don’t even have a card yet.

Mania is the only time I can think of that sells on brand name alone.

 

[Smart Marx]

in my humble opinion they will do like 60k in attendance at least.

barely any tickets on stub hub either.

I sadly got f-ed over by some Ticketmaster not processing a certain card bullshit, but theres two more public presales on thursday so i will try again. lots of nose bleeds left

Dude, I hope you get it. That’s serious bullshit.

I think bare minimum they’re hitting 50K.

I consider this a massive success.

Wonder how many are scalpers

 

[Smart Marx]

Wonder how many are scalpers

Probably quite a few. They must believe they can sell them.

Probably quite a few. They must believe they can sell them.

so far not as many as I expected, but it could have expanded. I checked a few hours after presale and it was barely 40 listings

 

[Comrade Khan]

I assume they will try to fill up the upper bowls with families. dirt cheap seats, were like 27 pounds after fees

 

[Smart Marx]

The only other wish I have and it’s probably just me is for bimonthly PPV. I know they’ll never do monthly events, but I think one every other month is achievable with the numbers they do with trimonthly events.

tony is not taking this shit today guys

 

[Smart Marx]

I know he gets a ton of snot for this, but I hope he never changes. I love when a suit doesn’t let a bs narrative to take root.

I know it turns some people off but he tweets like I would so I like it

 

[Alexa]

And my comment was meant to discourage the sales, but I just know people will buy a bunch of ticket and then scalp them like PS5s and such

 

[Alexa]

I know it turns some people off but he tweets like I would so I like it

But if someone else did it they would be praising it

 

[Smart Marx]

Honestly, liking Tony as a person, a promoter and a as a fellow smark/fan, is actually a big part of why I like AEW.

When I first heard the Elite brought in an investor who wanted to be hands on, I was worried, but I like Tony now more than I do the Elite (as managers).
