Live for the UK (taped for the US), it's AEW Dynamite. It's Dynamite's debut in Europe and the go-home episode before All In. Here is what's on tap:

AEW Women's Championship: "Timeless" Toni Storm (c) vs. Saraya


FTR and Darby Allin vs. The Young Bucks and "Scapegoat" Jack Perry


Piss Break Match: Chris Jericho vs. "Dynamite Kid" Tommy Billington


MJF and Ospreay Face to Face


The Final Countdown Showdown before All In between Swerve and Danielson


Contract Signing between Mercedes Mone and Britt Baker

will probably sell out, they should've gone with a smaller stage and tried to get as many people in the building as possible

They charged obscene prices initially at least, would have been a good idea in hindsight. But took a while for them to get that final push to get near a sellout. Maybe they dropped prices?

Compare the AEW map to the WWE map for the same arena. WWE map has a smaller stage, which allows an additional small section beside the stage and an additional four rows along the ramp. They also appear to have more tightly compacted the seating in general (most visible by the section running alongside the ramp) , and I assume have more seats available due to not having to have as many roped off for production holds (most visible by the seating being closer to the ring on the side of the ring opposite the stage and the empty section and lack of empty section on the hard cam side).

Nigel and Bryan actually gonna interact

That building has a capacity of 5,000 so they could have likely squeezed some more in with a smaller stage but it ain't my money

Couple things on the show..

-Looking forward to Okada and Claudio. If Claudio really wants "The Rainmaker" back then I say give them a good 20 minutes and let Okada go all out.

-MJF and Ospreay should be very heated in front of that crowd

-If they are giving Billington a prime spot on this card then they should make sure they sign him. I think he's got a lot of potential from the times I've seen him

I can't wait for the 2nd Annual "Let's argue about the actual attendance of All In" debates.

This crowd tonight gonna restore the feeling we used to get with AEW crowds every week in the first couple years

 

[Easy-E]

No Takeshyta at All-In or Dynomite

I can't wait for the 2nd Annual "Let's argue about the actual attendance of All In" debates.

It's getting so damned hard to enjoy the show around here. I just want to chat wrestling and have fun but there's just so many a$$holes who just show up to shyt on everything.
