Re: AEW Discussion Thread

With the SA show coming up this week, I do wonder if AEW will try have their own exclusive show somewhere. With the UK being the second biggest buyers for DON, and the Khan's family ties over there with the Jags playing games and all, maybe AEW could sign a 5/10 year deal to run an exclusive show in the UK and do what WWE should have done in the first place.

Sign a deal with any the UK or any other country that wasn't SA.

Exactly.

UK is such a good market for wrestling. Remember when TNA went there and even they had such big shows.

As long as AEW doesn't stay in one city for all events, and don't go to the Little Rocks,Fresnos,Des Moines of the world, they'll be fine.

If we could have events in Canada,UK and other places, that'd help alot.

Having a Canadian show where Jericho/Omega can be advertised and maybe bring back Bret for obvious name value(maybe he could even be a "guest enforcer", without even doing anything he'd still be advertised there).

UK show on a Saturday night would be afternoon over here. AEW has no problem with Saturday ppvs which is a great thing. Could easily have a UK show where fans all around the world can watch it live.

Sign a deal with countries they already run shows in? Why would either side offer that deal? This makes no sense whatsoever.

Why doesn't NXT count? Main roster bad, NXT good. Remember?

Also, it'd be nice if people could let AEW exist to put on ****ing awesome shows and not have to bring up every possible subject as some counter to WWE. Let AEW be AEW. Damn.

Thats not really comparable. WWE signed a deal with the Saudi Arabian government. There are very few governments that wouldve been willing to do a deal that size. In fact, most wouldnt have been interested.

WWE earned 75 mil from SA last year. The UK government isnt going to offer that to run 2 stadium shows. Most governments wont.
