The Unknown Poster

I suggest wrestling fans subscribe to the Wrestling Observer. I've seen a lot of "news" posted here by people that was 3rd hand news reported in the Observer. Subscribers got a great interview with Khan right after the Vegas rally. Also a long interview with Kenny Omega that was very different than most. And some other news sites were whining that AEW did not make Khan and Omega available for a scrum.

I think its pretty serious but WWE had let things go in the past I thought they wouldnt so thats why I think they wont do anything. Im not sure fighting the cop arresting your wife as ever resulted in cop changing his mind. lol

I doubt it honestly. Probably nothing will happen but a stern talking to.

https://www.tmz.com/2019/02/14/wwe-jimmy-uso-arrested/ Jimmy Uso busted for disorderly conduct and obstruction. Sounds moronic. Naomi was driving them, pulled over for going wrong way down a one-way street. Car reeked of booze so cops asked her to step out. Uso goes nuts, gets out against orders, removes jacket and shirt and squares up to the cops. Uso's are great but man, thats stupid.

He had to remember his lines.

Oops

I hate to say this but I’ve been three times and have never seen a Cirque. But I would like to see the Micheal Jackson one.

Pedro Morales passes away at 76. First "triple crown" winner in WWE history as he was WWWF World Champion, IC Champion and Tag Team Champion.

She had little interest in touring the US before. Though I think its more because she's never thought of the US as overly interesting. As I said, she loved Europe and has been several times. So she saves money for trips like that. But the "especially now" part is more of a moral opposition to the rising trend of racism and bigotry since Trump's come to power. Vegas definitely doesn't excite her but we're planning a very short trip and she knows Kenny and wants to see the show. Yup. Toga party. Heavily comped if they did manage to sell out. Im not a big fan of the outdoor day time shows. Even All In will be a weird start time of 4PM though it will be indoors at least.

Oh and Kota Ibushi signed an exclusive deal with New Japan so they must have thrown a brinks truck at him as he always refused to sign a contract with anyone (same reason he declined WWE's big offer a couple years ago). This is a big move because Kota & Omega obviously have a great relationship and AEW expected to have him.

Meltzer always has the correct or close to it numbers (as other sites do). He either has direct contacts at the venues or figures it out by WWE's reported gate receipts which never match their reported number. In fact its usually easy to predict what they will announce because they always want to break records so whatever the previous record was for a venue, WWE will announce a bit more...lol As I recall, that WM in Vegas was awful. When was that, 95? 94? Dreadful time for WWE.

I believe that was a false number. WWE always uses false numbers. And that WM was heavily comped with tickets given out all over Vegas. AEW held back about 3000 seats to put on sale to the general public tomorrow. At the pre-sale, it was like when Jets tickets first went on sale. It was officially a 23 minute sell-out, but unless you were in the cue in the first 3 minutes, you didnt get tickets.

Chicago is a big wrestling market so had a lot of locals. Vegas is probably going to have more fly ins. By the way, wrestling is super hot right now. Weird. Also it’s not if they get tv. It’s when they announce it. I think they will tape tv on the road like wwe does but I could be wrong. I doubt they’d tape in Jax every week because you’re right it’s not a great market. Scalpers sure are valuing the event high. But with only 14,000 tickets that was bound to happen. But amazingly it will be a wrestling attendance record in Vegas. There is a schedule out showing them running monthly big shows leading to tv in October. You javw to understand the economics of this. And how underpaid wwe wrestlers are compared to pro sports to understand why there is room for higher priced guys. Why would aew lose money on contracts and wwe makes a killing? It’s all about that tv deal. They’re not going to lose money. If you examine wwe demos you see an enormous amount of fans that have tuned out. Aew is appealing to those fans. The younger fans. Will it be a success? It already is

Moronic. Just let security do their jobs.

Dont be a ****. Plenty of Canadians dont like to travel to the US. My gf has been to Europe many times. Thats how she spends her travel dollars.

I dont recall it not sounding good at the firt All In. I read an interview with Tony Khan where he talked about the first rally and the first thing he said was he wished they had mic'ed the crowd. And when asked about starting AEW he said he thought the time was right for a "second national promotion with great production values". I have a feeling he doesnt want to look second rate next to WWE (and also essentially thumbs his nose at ROH, Impact and MLW). While All In was the firs Elite ppv, this will be the first with Khan's money and backing. Should be off the charts. I agree with your first point. I know some people are saying they could have sold 60,000 and maybe they could have but the urgency does create demand. Its the hot ticket right now. Even factoring everything, its probably a no-brainer they could have got 25,000+. And they DID want T-Mobile Arena and only went with MGM because T-Mobile held the date in the unlikely event of a Knights game...basically, they'd have given it to AEW but if the Knight ended up playing that night, they'd have to move. Im super excited. I've been to Las Vegas three times and I really love the city. Last time, in 2016, went for ROH shows which were cool. This will be nuts... my gf vowed never to go to the US especially under Trump but she was willing for this so her first time to Vegas...should be a lot of fun. But we're likely going in Friday and out Sunday so just a quick trip, show her a few things and get out.

Not sure Id want to give up Ehlers for Hub. But I like Hub...he seems to be a perennial sleeper pick in the pools I do and always does well for me. The talk of Ehlers not knowing what he'll do, reminds me of Zhamnov. Amazing talent and I recall Selanne saying he was hard to play with because he was so unpredictable.

I dont know about the rest of you, but Im All In. 😉 Never did get a pre-sale code. But someone hooked me up. UPDATE: Got the pre-sale code at 2:30pm. Sent to a friend who was thinking of going. Eeeesh I will say this, once you're in, the experience was awesome. Never had a "waiting room" thing for tickets. You could enter the waiting froom two minutes beforehand and enter all your info including Credit Card and ticket tier preference. And you wait. When it's your turn, you just basically push confirm purchase and its done. P4 Sec. 9. Anyone else here going? I do have an extra pre-sale code from my gf if anyone wants... EDIT: Pre-sale Sold out.

Reports of Dave Batista talking to both WWE and AEW about a return. Also, here's my first negative remark about AEW...if they want to be seen as fan friendly, when hundreds of people dont get pre-sale codes, dont reply to the guy about Olive Garden, send out a tweet with an update. Dont pretend it's not happening. If you capped pre-sale, say you capped. If there was a tech issue, say that.

I see on the twitter feed that Huberdeau is apparently available...
