General AEW Thread

Okay, so, I haven't been able to watch AEW in a while due to no longer having cable TV, but I'm wondering why Collision is being advertised for September 12, a Thursday, in Dayton, Ohio. Is it going to be taped then and aired on Saturday or is it going to be airing on Thursday?

On a side note, I saw the ad while watching a recent episode of Raw on Peacock.

Most likely taped and airing on Saturday or possibly a preemption like Jeff said. They're taping Thursday this week in Arlington to air on Saturday too actually, they've done it 2 or 3 times before usually for their own scheduling purposes

could also have something to do with All Out but I think thats the week before so it shouldnt be an issue. sometimes the saturday show is pre-empted or pretaped when theres a ppv that weekend

Yeah they taped before Forbidden Door assuming bc the Dynamite building was easier or cheaper than the using the Forbidden Door building twice cause they usually do one or the other

Was reading that it's only 50K of tickets allocated, wembley holds 90K. That's a sharp drop from last years attendance.

 

[Comrade Khan]

Attendance was around 72k , no.where near 90k esp this year reduced stage space (Taylor swift concert day before). It's less than last year but also y1 always gonna b the biggest esp when it's first aew show in Europe. If they at 50ish now it'll likely be close to 60k by day of

 

[Chris]

I think 50k would be fine honestly but the weirdest part is how they sold 40k so quick and then there was just barely movement after, those 40k are dedicated af in comparison now lol

No I meant it holds Up to 90K.

There is multiple European wwe ple this summer n fall too(France and germany) . Ppl from those places prob not doing that n all in unless they die hards

 

[Chairman Jay]

TK said 81K last year but he's forgetting seats that given away for free so yeah id say 70-72K be spot on.

 

[Comrade Khan]

40k die hards p good for a 5 year old company tho no doubt

Yeah down to the rise of the Far right . People in Europe are already less well off in general around Main land Europe. Especially France.

Still hoping for a good show in all honesty for AEW. Yeah WWE have got it locked with Sadiq Khan for wembley, state of public finance is dire in the UK. So we need to get as much revenue from Business and this will help a lot. The money generated from both companies is desperately needed.

Tbh He could of held it at his Football Club Fulham F.C's Craven Cottage and it would of been a sell out crowd. That's what I thought but I agree with your post.

They can only do up to a certain amount because of Taylor Swift's stage set up
