I’d predict that it will be a lot of BTE stuff. That has gotten pretty played out for me but there is obviously still a large appetite for it. They managed to turn the NOLA ROH show into essentially 50% BTE so I’d expect more of the same here. I’m probably most interested to see what the do with Okada and Rey. Like, the LAST thing I need to see is Rey Mysterio vs Flip fucking Gordon.

AAW is already running and there is the “Starrcast” event that All In is putting on, with a bunch of podcasts/convention type stuff.

Likewise. I think there’s a good chance it’ll work out.

Yeah, I’ll keep an eye on the secondary market, too. I definitely wish we’d known about the lack of limit and tried to coordinate in this thread.

Um Dave is congratulating them...thinks they could have run a bigger building...Dave also pointed out that 50 tickets are on StubHub as opposed to the 2000 for Mania the day after. This doesn't seem to be a Scalpers problem.As was stated earlier, they aren't going to flood the market on StubHub immediately. This isn't an 80,000 seat building like the Superdome. Regardless, the ticket website was really bad.

The 10,000 person crowd
From everything I've read, there was no limit on per-person sales so it's likely that a lot of tickets were bought by experienced scalpers who do this all the time. I've seen way more complaints about the website and the StubHub prices than people saying they actually bought tickets on the official website. The other argument is "But there aren't even that many tickets on StubHub!" which is true but also it wouldn't make sense to immediately put 1000 tickets on StubHub because that would ruin the artificial scarcity mark up they have going on there now that is allowing them to sell ringside seats for $1000+Correct. More will trickle out as these sell over the next couple weeks. I wish they had given more forethought to this happening.

Yeah, scalpers definitely grabbed almost everything. I was in the waiting room gimmick for 30+ minutes after I had already been on the site half an hour before tix went on sale.
-
The 10,000 person crowd
Once I got in and all that was left was $28 seats, I decided not to bother. Disappointing that they didn't put limits on how many tix people could buy but I guess they only cared about hitting the 10K number.

They should have booked the United Center.

Been stuck in the "virtual waiting room" since tix went on sale. They're going to crush this.

I don’t buy that WWE would have cleared him if there was any possibility of him leaving.

How do you factor in agents/trainers when evaluating wrestlers?
If a wrestler I like agented a match that I thought was good, I deem him to be a good agent. If a wrestler I don’t like agented a bad match involving a wrestler I do like, I put the blame on the agent.

What are you watching?
Catching up on the last two SUP shows on Powerbomb. On Achy Breaky Heart right now and it's a terrific show.

Ring of Honor Wrestling
This is a guy whose rise I'm just blown away by. I saw him work a fire department fundraiser show in a school gym about 10 minutes from my house in rural WI about 6 years ago in the Beer City Bruisers tag team with Nick Colucci. I think he's great.

Brandon is so great. Wrestlenomics is in the absolute top tier of wrestling pods for me. Invaluable.
