    ...all Tony has is Dave Metzler and whatever his gut tells him to do that day...and neither one has produced much growth or interest from 5 years ago when they were seen as a legitimate threat and alternative...
    ...AEW is no longer the alternative to WWE...now it operates more like a way station...for indie wrestlers who want exposure to do their moves and spots and get WWE's attention...for former WWE stars past their prime to stretch out that last bit of gas in their tanks...former WWE who use it to reinvent themselves or recharge their batteries before eventually going back...or worse, ones who are saddled with either being too reckless in the ring, too green with little to no interest in growth or bringing a toxic element to a lockerroom...
    ...WWE is way too massive to be placed on the same level as AEW...especially now that they have a BILLION DOLLAR deal with Netflix and moving live wrestling shows to streaming...if anything, AEW is competing with NXT and to a lesser extent TNA to be at their respective level...

    AEW lost me two years ago. They just aren't interesting. I really was excited for them at first and wanted to see them succeed and get better and better, but it just hasn't happened. I couldn't justify paying $35 a month for a Sling account to specifically watch a show that seemed like a few banger matches for the die hards amongst the unfinished or "hyped up then letdown" storylines. Even FTR, who was one of my favorites isn't even interesting anymore because of the sporadic booking and storylines that go nowhere. And Moxley, who at first seemed like an edgier, cooler Dean Ambrose in the beginning, just wants to show everyone how much blood he can draw. Not interesting or edge of seat entertainment. The casual fan like me are part of that real drop in viewship. AEW may still be cool to the die hards, but that is why it will always be a niche promotion to it's roughly 600k fans who tune in each week and nothing more.

      There are only 4k tickets available at the minute for Wembley. I think they'll shift the majority of those day-of. Last year they sold 81k (granted, 9k of those were scalpers who bought too many and couldn't off-load them so only 72k actually entered the stadium) out of a possible 83k. They tend to get pretty bloody close to a sell-out at Wembley. Although Taylor Swift deserves a big thank you from TK this year for making it so they only had 53k tickets on offer this year! 😂

    People need to stop talking about AEW like its a wrestling company. WWE is a wrestling company that's in the business of drawing large audiences and getting ratings. AEW is Tony Khan's hobby. Every kid who is a wrestling fan did the fantasy booking thing where you made up a promotion and made matches. Tony is doing the same thing he did as a kid but since he is a billionaire he bought himself live wrestlers to fantasy book. AEW's goal is not to draw crowds, ratings, or even make money. It's sole purpose is to entertain Tony Khan. If AEW were a real wrestling company it would have went bankrupt and closed down a couple years ago. It will stay in business as long as Tony still enjoys his hobby enough to continue pumping money into it. AEW and WWE are not the same.

    Conrad, the UK is a starved audience who doesn't get big wrestling shows all the time like the United States does. the 2 dozen fans you know that are going to AEW All In, is what is known as anecdotal evidence and isn't a good indicator for anything, especially given that you are a big figure in the wrestling scene and given that you are an AEW fanatic. Those two things make it much more likely that you personally would know a lot more people going to the AEW show than the average person, I for example know no people who have gone to any AEW shows because I live in Australia, but again that is only anecdotal and based on my experience rather than real accumulative data.
