AEW sold out again (in 3 hours), meanwhile WWE is struggling to sell PPV tickets

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

If they can sell out Capital One Arena then they should be able to sell out along the rest of the east coast (Boston, Philly, Hartford, NYC) and maybe Atlanta, I think they will do well through the first loop of dates so we're talking 6 months to a year.

Outside of that it's going to come down to the talent and the booking. Realistically to keep it going the TV show will obviously have to be good week to week. The toughest thing to do is a weekly program.

"Wait until the novelty wears off "



"Ticket sales don't equal quality "

Tbh this is all true

Right now, AEW has a good percentage of the same fans traveling to attend each show, which is good for them. WWE doesn't get that love except for the big PPV's and the Raw/Smackdown after WrestleMania. The true test will be to see how AEW draws after the newness period fades and they start producing weekly TV. Can they draw mainly local fans each week? Because the hardcore fans' money won't be able to support weekly travel like that. So it is a very good start for them, but still we have to put it in context.

These are the same people going to All In, All Out, and Double for Nothing. The real indicator is Week 2, Week 3, etc.

Yeah because AEW is just filled with black excellence

AEW has a black woman in an executive position.

WWE has a black woman staying home and just collecting a downside not to have to work for them.

nikkas who hate on AEW must not want pro wrestling to thrive.

Right now I'm keeping AEW and WWE separate, as AEW is playing in 2nd Tier Arena.

However, I favor the smaller venues because you don't need to pipe noise but especially when your selling it out; it creates a party vibe.

WWE is in Tier 1 for TV Shows, and its a hard sell to get people to watch a show that is bland.

It's not about hate, it's the fact that the neckbeards truly think AEW can do no wrong. The last 2 AEW events were average at best, and when it was called out for being average the nerds on here and Twitter had a meltdown. If you honestly don't see how AEW pushing the whole "we're not WWE" angle is harmful to their longevity then you don't want them to succeed.

I lurk a lot, but working on posting/interacting more.

The black woman married to the white guy?

What does Brandi's domestic partner have to do with her identity as a woman of color?

And Private Party, Both Kongs, and Sonny Kiss (who is a fine wrestler and entertainer if some of you could get over your hyper masculinity hang ups) are all interesting in their own rights.

Thank you for making it clear that some WWE stans are so pathetic, they're having to bust out the emergency aliases to pretend to be additional naysayers.

A deliberate attempt to create a false narrative, trying to sway opinions with artificial support.

Whoever they actually are, they deserve a ban for this Russian bot bullshyt here. Astroturfing piece of shyt.
