I've seen NXT near sell out the arena here in Newcastle and this is before they even had TV. I'm sure AEW would do fine here especially if PAC was in the main event program.

Back when they were doing a weekly show, Defiant had his first post-WWE match in Newcastle on an episode of Loaded. Compared to the rest of the show the crowd sounded like they'd doubled in size and tripled in volume. (sadly the match is now unwatchable as his opponent was David Starr, but at the time it was a huge reaction) For full effect you'd have to get a Geordie to do his introduction, just to go "He is... a BASTARD!"

CopywrightMMXI posted:I wonder what cities AEW will run when they eventually get to Canada. Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver are givens and I expect they would run Winnipeg as well. It’ll be interesting to see if they try running the prairies or maritime though. WCW never bothered running those areas and never really made inroads in Canada. I could see Hamilton maybe. I dunno, are Edmonton and Calgary good markets for wrestling anymore?

They were in the fancy new arena in Edmonton in 2019 but were in a smaller venue in 2017. They used to run shows yearly or so with some TV and PPVs but lately it's been more sporadic house shows.

I feel like we're not too far out from WWE being unable to draw at the Scotiabank Arena here in Toronto and will be relegated to the Coca Cola Coliseum (former Ricoh) for Raws if trends continue. Then again Toronto fans will pay for anything (Summerslam last year sold out in seconds), so maybe they can run Scotia forever.

I don't know if it's a steeper drop than elsewhere, but the return on investment is lower when you have to travel so far between cities. Cody has a good relationship with our local promotion (he drew with the champ when he was ROH champ) and AEW talent were regularly taking bookings here pre-COVID, so hopefully they'll run shows up here.

they'll absolutely hit winnipeg given jericho and omega are from here. kennys also pretty tight with the one local promotion we still seem to have so they'll have a in dunno where they'll run though, bell MTS centre is apparently expensive to run at and there aren't really any mid-sized venues here anymore. coward tony has deep pockets at least.

Jeff Cobb did an interview with Fightful and he was asked about why he hasn’t been back in AEW since February, was very cagey about it but ultimately landed on saying “traveling to Florida really isn’t on my to do list right now.”

I bet PAC is on something but not something normal like steroids or hgh. You only get that body by like, injecting geode dust into your eyes or something.

if they do dynamite in 'Peg they need to hold a Goldenboy Cup match between kenny and jericho with the winner receiving a trophy shaped like The Goldenboy, with Goldenboy on commentary.
