At the very least there was a roll through pin attempt that I would put money on being a body double. Other than that, I'm not so sure.

Paid Members Supremo Posted March 12, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) And people say Christian isn't a draw! 😜 It’s unsurprising. There was definitely a bigger buzz for this PPV than anything I’ve felt for a North American show in a long, long time. Just makes it all the more frustrating they decided to only spend about thirty quid on that final explosion. I’m worried this is going to lead to more shows on a Sunday. Personally, Saturday shows are so much better. Edited March 12, 2021 by Supremo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pol_pot_rick Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 They've already announced Double or Nothing as a Sunday show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted March 12, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted March 12, 2021 Both good and bad news for them. Good because of the amazing money. Bad because the show wasn't amazing and the ending was terrible, so people might not be so hyped next time. Out of interest, what's the second highest non WWE PPV since 99?

They really had something cool going on there to keep us across the pod more engaged. Ah well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted March 12, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted March 12, 2021 Double or Nothing is a bank holiday weekend, though, iirc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were saying on Post Wrestling that that was the reasoning for it. Edited March 12, 2021 by BrodyGraham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pol_pot_rick Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 “On the three-day holidays, I think it’s good [to have a PPV on Sunday]. I actually would argue that for Double or Nothing or All Out, a large percentage of the country is going to have Monday off, and in England those are bank holidays so a large percentage of England, people aren’t really working very much. Most people have Labor Day and Memorial Day off here and abroad,” stated Khan. “Double or Nothing, I am strongly considering going to Sunday. All Out I really think it would be really smart to do Sunday because then I don’t compete with College Football and the NFL won’t be going head-to-head. Full Gear I will keep on a Saturday. Revolution and Full Gear, whenever possible, I will do on a Saturday.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still prefer a Saturday night PPV either way but I feel that I'm in the minority with that one. It doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, just means going through the work day spoiler free and then trying to carve time on a Monday evening to watch a four hour PPV.

Paid Members Carbomb Posted March 13, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted March 13, 2021 Have AEW designated any particular show their Wrestlemania yet, or are they still in the process of building up goodwill in order to have one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted March 13, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted March 13, 2021 Not yet. Double Or Nothing was their first show so that's probably the best candidate. Crap name though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Some Guy Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) I can't remember the exact wording of the commentary team at Revolution but it was along the lines of Double or Nothing being the main PPV as it was the first AEW show.

Paid Members Carbomb Posted March 13, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted March 13, 2021 Not liking most of their PPV names for an annual showpiece, really. I actually think the name "Wrestlemania" is a bit shit too, but it's bypassed that by building up decades of memories. "Bound For Glory" sounds good, as did "SuperBrawl", and, even though it's probably a bit too on the violent side, I liked "WrestleWar". "Wrestle Kingdom" sounds big-time.
