TBH, I think both cards are good for what they are. 'ALL OUT' will bring the in-ring action and over-the-top brutality and 'Wrestlepalooza' will probably bring plenty of that good old sports entertainment but in a good way

WWE is running a NXT PPV 20 mins away from Dynamite four days before.
This is as crazy as the cat and mouse game has gotten with their booking
Given the history of the building (ECW, MLW, ROH) I wonder if AEW was after the War Memorial first. It's definitely way cheaper than the Hard Rock and fits more in with the historic venues they been running this year.
Fun Fact - saw Kevin Steen and El Generico in one of th best live matches I've ever seen in that building for ROH a decade ago, and before that saw dudes like Sabu and Kojima for MLW.
After ECW, MLW and the War Memorial was briefly the hottest independent building in the country until ROH really took off
WWE announces No Mercy on Saturday, Sept. 27 and Halloween Havoc on Saturday, Oct. 25
August 25, 2025 – WWE, part of TKO Group Holdings (NYSE: TKO), today announced that No Mercy will take place on Saturday, September 27, at the FTL War Memorial in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Halloween Havoc will take place on Saturday, October 25, at the Findlay Toyota Center in Prescott...

I'd like to see a third party verify that AEW is paying out 40% - 50% of revenue to wrestlers. Might be true might not be they have every incentive to lie or fudge the truth.
We have much more knowledge about the TKO model as all that information became public due to UFC lawsuits. If I recall correctly the UFC numbers were 10-15% or less. Would not surprise me at all if WWE was at like 20% and looking to get down to like 12%. I'm sure they'd argue something stupid that basically amounts to "you're also being paid in exposure" which doesn't mean much if you're tied up into the wrestling equivalent of A 360 deal.
Edit: looked into this really quickly and all reporting I saw claims UFC pay at 20% max. Also seen it as low as 15/16%.

Keepin' it 100
If Snowman took AEW public, then the numbers could be verified, but with it being a private company, they don't have to release that info. Do agree that TKO is going to try to ensure UFC and WWE are within that same percentage.

Yeah, absent them going public, which I don't see happening or a crazy lawsuit we won't know. As such I'm treating "Dragon's" claim with a bit of healthy skepticism.
I know there were rumors or WB buying/owning a percentage of AEW but I don't think that was ever verified and even so I'm sure there is some legal shyt related to ownership percentage and disclosure and all that.
shyt.

Isn't the Lakeland Collision the following weekend, after Dynamite? Maybe one day they can get the War Memorial since it's more historic. Awesome that you got to see those events in that building.
Actually it's the next day, on Thursday. Not even live. They getting out of the area quick. Soon as Dynamite ends.
