Wrestling - Part 3


Imagine Will Ospreay v Kenny Omega at Wembley man. Incredible scenes. Should make it a two nighter so we can have The Elite v CMFTR as well.

Problem is do 80,000 people know who they are. Then want to go to London on bank holiday weekend and pay £200 for a hotel. Tickets and transport. It’s no wwe level names.

Even if drew leaves WWE what other main stream people could they attract.

You do realise AEW in the UK just on ITV gets 130k views a week right?, not including FITE where I bet many more are, do I think they’ll sell out Wembley? No (be class if they did) but I still think anything over 40k is a crazy number for a company 4 years in to existence, they’ll get a lot of European interest as well.

People can say what ever they want about Tony Khan but he’s a business man and will have a good idea on what he expects, more knowledge than any of us.

Either way I don’t care 😂 I’ve been waiting for this show for ages, it could have been at Accrington’s ground for all I care.
 
Nope

We'll see how it does but maybe booking his weekly shows and sorting his talent out might come as priority over booking a stadium in a different country.
He's obsessed with WWE. I think this is why he picked Wembley. There's plenty of stadiums in London never mind the UK he could have held it. Celtic Park or Hampden Park in Glasgow. SoL or SJP in the North East. Etihad in Manchester. Emirates, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium or London Stadium. A gate of 40k would be impressive but in 80k stadium it'll look terrible.

Wembley was picked because it's been 30 years since SummerSlam. The WWE held a PPV in Cardiff and the O2 but not Wembley.

It's a very "fan" thing to attempt and completely out of their audience range. As folk have said on here, it will attract WRESTLING fans in the UK and Europe but AEW fans? There isn't enough of them, that's a fact. He has enough money to rent Wembley but the bloke doesn't seem to have a realism filter. I hope it's a great event but with that roster and the scope of alone, I can't see it. He hasn't even set up ROH properly yet and now he's doing an event in a different country in an 90k stadium... There's obviously no one around him to say no to him and it's his money so he's going to do what he wants, no matter how crackers
 
Feels like it’s the wrong way round. MITB should be at Wembley and AEW should be at the 02.
WWE are a billion dollar entity for a reason. I don't know how much it costs to rent out Wembley stadium but I reckon the 02 is cheaper with less risk and overheads.
 
Lmao at some of these salty comments 😂 must have really upset a lot this being at Wembley, who the fuck cares man, it’s good for wrestling and more so the UK wrestling scene, regardless of what they do.

I don’t care much for WWE ( especially with Nonce tash Vince back) these days but I was happy for the people when they announced the show at the principality and O2 and wasn’t questioning how much it cost to host it there because you know I’m a wrestling fan not a geek who cares about the money side of things that doesn’t effect them at all (same as ratings)

AEW announces a UK show and everyone is critical as fuck 😂 give it a rest, either be happy more wrestling is good for everyone or be a little bitch and get upset over something that doesn’t concern you.

This.

There’ll be plenty who are moaning that will go too (and good on them, when they wise up).

Why hate on it? The disrespect to some of the inevitable competitors too. Who hasn’t heard of Omega or Saraya 😮 You’d have to be under the age of 18 and not posting on here to fall into that category.

TK can’t build…just watch this space.
