Stokely and MJF together are going to be gold but when it comes to the rest of his stable, he really was better off with the Pinacle.

I was quite surprised to see the reaction at the end of the tag team championship match. Were people that disappointed that the acclaimed lost or did I miss something about Lee/Swerve?

Disappointed because The Acclaimed are hot right now and should have won the tag belts

Lee doing the scissors thing and people not giving a shit was awkward as hell.

Not getting my hopes up bc this seems identical to when Eddie lost against Miro at All Out last year and I thought this was the plan

The standard AEW thing, checks out

I guess maybe they didn’t wanna change the original plan, as they didn’t know the crowd would be that hot for them (tho you can argue they definitely should’ve known, and should have been the original plan all along) so the rematch if it happens, could very well be to make up for it and give them the belts.

 

[Chris]

Yeah I'm not a fan of legitimate title change audibles whatsoever lol the only exception would be if the champs themselves are the ones that accept it. But that being said I wanted the Acclaimed to win once the match was booked anyway

 

[Chris]

But say halfway during the match if Swerve and Lee woulda been the ones that made the call and just said they'd apologize to Tony after it would have both been awesome and hilarious bc Tony would have much bigger problems to worry about as we now know

That’s happened a few times right? Where the crowd was red hot for whoever was losing and the other party is like “fuck it, you’re going over this crowd loves you, I’ll take the heat for it.”

I'm sure but I'd be willing to bet never on PPV for a championship and probably very rarely on any televised show lol seems like a house show move

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I almost feel as if I read something about it before, and Jericho was involved(not talking about the Pac/Neville thing either) but idk.

can confirm this post as im listening to Will's podcast right now

According to Dave Meltzer in this week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the total pay-per-view buy estimate for last Sunday's AEW All Out is between 135,000 and 142,000.

Regardless of where the final number rests in that range, it marks a substantial drop from last year's event which generated 205,000 buys.

The range includes both streaming and cable/satellite, the latter of which is estimated on early returns because of the longer time period in which those linear providers take in finalizing everything. Meltzer did say the estimate is based on less information than usual.

The key difference between the two years is that WWE ran two shows during Labor Day weekend with Saturday's Clash at the Castle and Sunday's WWE NXT Worlds Collide -- a move AEW head Tony Khan took umbrage with at the post-event press conference.



All Out drew 9100 (8800 paid) and over $1 million at the gate -- the company's third-straight PPV that has hit or that dollar mark. Meltzer noted AEW became the second North American wrestling company in history to do three $1 million gates in a calendar year.

"It was about 150 to 200 tickets shy of a sellout as not all the late released tickets were sold. From a secondary market standpoint, the pricing and interest level was the best for a company show this year," he wrote.

Meltzer also offered the following:

"(The PPV number) was well below both Revolution and Double or Nothing, but it would have been considered a very good number for a show prior to last year’s All Out. The reality is the company is not as hot. WWE putting on two shows that weekend didn’t help. It broke the streak Tony Khan was so proud of where every show in AEW history has beat the same named show from the prior year.

That streak was going to be broken because there was no way this was getting near 205,000 buys which they got due to it being CM Punk’s first match back.

At the press conference, Khan noted that digital buys indicated a number above Forbidden Door and at or near Double or Nothing, and said three major shows over the weekend instead of one was part of the reason. Others with knowledge of digital numbers indicated the range is probably where it will wind up or perhaps a bit higher than that estimate.

On the flip side, this number would be lower than expected and hoped for because there was not as much interest in the show as compared to the other shows other than Forbidden Door which was going to do a smaller number overall but actually was considered a great success for the nature of the show."

AEW All Out does estimated 135,000-142,000 PPV buys

The number is down from last year's company-best 205,000 buys for All Out.
