Here’s the holy water bit. I don’t know if it was in that YouTube clip. I watched the show so I don’t generally go back and watch the highlight clips of stuff I watched.
4.5 hour main card is a bit longer than the average AEW main card since AEW normally goes from 8 to around 12-12:15.
I don’t hate Guilia but SD needs Midcard people - Paige probably fits that perfectly. RAW already has 2/3 of the women’s roster.
Then call up some NXT women who are considerably better and who actually have a potentially good future in the business instead of chasing ghosts. And they probably come cheaper than Paige to boot.
WrestleMania week supporting shows are starting to fall in prominence.
No more Walemania - big musical event for the unaware
No more NXT Stand and Deliver
No more ROH Supercard of Honor
No more Bloodsport
I know some of the bigger US indies didn’t run a show there this year
Assuming Saudi Arabia doesn’t pull the plug on SaudiMania, If AEW does the smart thing next year and runs a big show in the US and makes a hard play for turning it into a weekly festival type thing, they could start stealing away some of the Mania week festivities.
While the fanbase is considerably smaller, it’s also a fanbase that is much more likely to watch or attend non-WWE events.
TJPW (Tokyo Joshi Pro) ran some Texas shows during All In week last year. Every show sold out and the show the day after All In set the company attendance record, even better than anything they ever drew in Japan.
