For anyone who doesn't know why this is a big deal: AEW -- a five-year-old wrestling company -- is about to beat WWE/WCW/any other wrestling promotion for tickets sold to a wrestling show. As of this tweet, they’re less than 1500 tickets away from holding the title with 17 days to go until the big event.
Can’t wait for Tony’s tweet when that happens lol
All that's left is for Grado to come out to Like a Prayer in front of 83,000 people as the Joker in the Casino Battle Royal.
Make this happen Tony 🙏
That would easily be up there for moment of the year.
The ppv might be worth it for that pop alone.
What a time for wrestling and for the fandom.
Exactly. It doesn't matter what you watch, wrestling is surging right now.
To think I get to live through two golden ages of wrestling! If only I had the same amount of cartilage!
💯🤙🏽
I think I'm honestly gonna tune in just to hear the noise in there lol
It's gonna be wild. I can't wait to hear the songs the crowd comes up with lol
if we walk away from this without at least a couple new meme chants ill be disappointed in the brits, theyve set expectations high
I’m not an AEW fan but this is great news for wrestling all around. And shows that we here in the U.K. will and can sell out Wembley Stadium. Maybe this will put WWE on notice that they don’t have to just use the O2 or go to Cardiff.
A lot of my in-person friends aren't wrestling fans, but I still like to extend an invite for the big ppvs we get because it is always a fun time. The atmosphere for All In is going to be so great, I really hope it all comes together.
Even though my seat will not be the best I’m still hyped to go there. The first „real“ wrestling event besides Germanys Minor Leages that I will attend.
Wish I could be at this show but I'll have to watch at home
I’m stunned and thrilled. This is fantastic for the industry.
