:dead: at the struggle by both NXT and AEW for today


The NXT case is bizarre to me. Before they made the venue change, WrestleTix had them selling more than 3k tickets, then they revised the number and put it at little over 2k. Then they change the venue and got even less people. I wonder if they actually lost money on this show.

They probably ate the booking fee for Enterprise Center because they didn't want the appearance of that few people in an arena that can hold over 20k people. I'm surprised they're going to a venue that has never held a pro wrestling event before instead of trying for a smaller arena. Chaifetz Arena (where AEW held their PPV in the spring) isn't that far away and could be configured to make 3k look better, plus nothing is booked there currently.

I think they booked the St Louis arena after the fact instead of doing it as a tandem ticket with Raw, so hard to ask people to turn around and spend a couple hundred more after they just did for Raw the night before. I don't think it was structured like it has been lately with the PLE/Takeovers back to back

I'm puzzled about the venue change when ticket sales weren't THAT bad. But like @Reality Check mentioned, I guess WWE decided it was better to lose some money (considering it's chump change for them) instead of having to tarp out a 20k arena with 3-4k people in it.

:mjlol: all the comments talking like it's an employer vs employee war. Maria did NOTHING for AEW

Breh I swear everytime I hear Maria and her damn husband bytch on Twitter or have some form of company issues, I treat it like a tree falling down in the woods.

I thought spokane and tacoma were close thinking fans were prolly deciding to go to the ppv rather than Dynamite but they over 4 hours away.

I see spokane on the east and iheard that's heavy with the white supremacy kkk folks so guessing they not gonna be wrestling fans of minorities on the program.

Moxley should’ve given them free tickets, they’d love his new gimmick. Plus they could talk politics in the back with Jericho and the Bucks
