To be fair, AEW does seem to be going to smaller buildings now. What I don’t think has been factored in is how potentially damaging this could be to the fanbase’s perception of the product. It’s a concession of defeat — a necessary one and one that’s long overdue — but a concession nonetheless. I think you’re going to still see them struggle to move tickets.
I am convinced they did zero market research before announcing their Australian show. Anyone could have told you it was absolutely insane to book a stadium in Brisbane for wrestling. They didn’t even talk to Harley Cameron who is on their roster. That’s the brain-trust there. I don’t know why anyone would expect more planning or competency to be implemented elsewhere.
