@Jmare007 I know you like looking at these types of things so I'm tagging you. Looks like a good start. About 5500 for first count and no matches announced of course. This is why they keep running this back in Newark. If they put a decent card together should do good business.


Yeah, I saw that yesterday, much better than the St. Louis numbers and it will probably end up as a 9k-10k attendance like last year, which is as good as you gonna get in the U.S without a major attraction as the n°2 promotion.

A lot us been speculating that MJF is gonna have another title match at that PPV (and might get the belt again) just off the strength on this show being in his backyard and Tony's history of doing something big for the home crowd on PPV if he has the wrestler(s) for it.

Anyone else surprised that Gallows and Anderson haven't made their way to AEW? Surprised given their connections with the Bucks and Omega that they haven't come back in some capacity.

Probably a lot sooner than that, I would imagine he'll be back by World's End. It's not a torn ACL/MCL. My sister tore her meniscus at a softball game and was walking without crutches 2 weeks later. I still don't know what White-O's injury is and why it is so severe.
It's a shoulder injury. Fightful reported that it was discovered while he was recovering from his broken hand and that Jay was still deciding whether or not he would get it surgically repaired. But if he did, the surgery would put him out for the rest of the year. Couple weeks later, Tony Khan himself said Jay would be out for a long time, meaning he decided to get surgery.

It wasn't reported what they exact injury is, but I'm guessing it was either a torn labrum or rotator cuff.

Their first run in AEW was trash. I wouldn't be surprised if TK decided to not bring them back after that.

Within the rules of the contract MJF has to announce when the title match will be. He might hold off on it but if he does then I don't know who Hangman would defend against at 'ALL OUT'

I think a Hangman vs. Don Callis Family feud would be dope. Don has a lot of people to throw at Hanger

Yeah, I feel MJF wins more by losing this feud with Hangman so he can get more character development than getting the belt back and have the exact same title reign he had in 2023 :pachaha:. But I can also picture Tony wanting to give Max the strap soon and keep Hangman chasing instead of having a long, Ace-like type of reign.

People continue to ask Tony what the max numbers are knowing full well these streamers don't release numbers and if they do they are doctored and each time the beards online run with the non-story. The question is at 47:10 and once again he said they don't release them but that WBD told him they do well vs. the other sports they stream on the platform

Tbh I think it's better for the Internet for idiots like us not to know, but it blows my mind when he says Max doesn't share the data with their creators.

How do these streaming companies expect long-running shows like wrestling to keep catering to their audience if they can't see which segments are drawing/losing? :why:

Specially for the amount of money they pay them. They might share some data but there's NDAs attached to them so companies can't leak/share them?
