May 27, 20196 yr comment_393532 Surprised nobody has commented on DoN yet. Awesome show. Got people talking. If you don't think there's a casual market, you're nuts. My friends and I are in a group text and normally, it's two of us that will talk wrestling and get made fun of by the other eight. Three of them commented how they had heard the AEW show sounded awesome. It had a reach. Heard they did 200k PPV buys which is an insane number.
May 27, 20196 yr comment_393539 It was an excellent show. A few hiccups but nothing that derailed things. The Rhodes match was great and one of the goriest matches I've seen in a while. The Jericho/Omega match and the women's tag match were also really good. The battle royal in the pre-show was super fun, too.
May 27, 20196 yr comment_393544 I was camping all weekend so I haven't had a chance to watch yet but I've heard good things. I expected Moxley to show up and wasn't disappointed. He signed a deal like Omega & Jericho where he can work other places. He's now off to NJPW (for the G1 maybe?) according to his twitter account. Edited May 27, 20196 yr by bigg jay
May 27, 20196 yr comment_393580 I heard Ashley Massaro died last week. Only 39 years old. Apparently it was a suicide. Where is the Unknown Poster? He usually provides all the updates here.

Really dug the joshi event, hope that AEW keeps pushing that. I've seen the Lucha Bros on TV a lot and live twice, I'm a big fan of those guys, and it was great to see them against a team that can go as good as they can, maybe even better -- most matches I see of theirs, they're slowing down because their opponents can't match their speed. It's a weird match when Pentagon is the slowest guy in the ring. Wasn't so much into the big name matches otherwise, after the relentless pace of the earlier matches, the main event felt a little slow for me.

I really liked that one as well. Overall, I think my favourite part of the show was how well balanced it was. You had fun matches, athletic matches, violent matches, story based matches, brawls, women's matches, singles, tags, young guys, legends, guys in their prime. Just a really great mix.
May 28, 20196 yr comment_393697 Was a great show. 200k isnt buys its google trends numbers... But definitely got ppl talking.
May 29, 20196 yr comment_393753 All in got 20k buys ish and 50k Google trends. So doing math DON likely got 60 to 80k buys.

May 29, 20196 yr comment_393771 Word is that it was between 100k and 200k. That's a huge variance but if it is between them, it's a really, really good number.
May 29, 20196 yr comment_393775 Considering many UFC ppv's these days get between 100 - 150 k I'd imagine anything over 100 would be considered a massive success.

May 29, 20196 yr comment_393777 I think they will do very well on people hear the show was really good purchase a replay of the event.
May 29, 20196 yr comment_393898 Yes regardless of PPV buys and actual dollar figures, I think the event has to be considered a success due to the amount of "buzz" that has been generated.

It was a great show. Was dirt cheap to stream also. I think its NXT ish... That type of style. Not sure we gonna get blood staple guns and death matches on tv but... Im sure 1 or 2 big matches a week plus enhancement talent for sure. Jobbers coming back. Edited May 29, 20196 yr by Goalie
May 30, 20196 yr comment_394057 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/wrestling-promoter-bans-slurs-1.5133122 An article about local wrestling group WPW, I didn't realize how good they are doing. 300 in a crowd is amazing and more then the others tend to draw.
May 31, 20196 yr comment_394248 Last night was another good show by WPW. Slightly smaller crowd than the first two but still a solid turn out. Kevin Chevy has improved so much over the past few years. His match with Airwolf was great. AJ Sanchez vs Josh Alexander was another really good match, as was the main event between Shotzi Blackheart, Jody Threat and a third woman who's name I didn't catch.

So doing math DON likely got 60 to 80k buys. 98k is the early estimate from Meltzer: “Double or Nothing is currently estimated at doing roughly 98,000 buys between television and digital PPV, with close to a 50/50 split between the two,”
June 1, 20196 yr comment_394314 Yup. Pretty decent My only issue.. I know who most of those guys were.. Not all but most. Does the average fan? Edited June 1, 20196 yr by Goalie
June 1, 20196 yr comment_394419 Maybe, maybe not. It didn't seem to matter though. To get that kind of number without TV says there is an audience there. If they can build their brand and establish some of the more unknown guys as stars, they will be just fine.
