The Dart Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 I think the rumour was stronger this time than usual because of the promos Drew McIntyre cut on the tour. It just seemed like it would be a really daft thing to say if there wasn't the intention of it happening. Quote

Kamaras-Tash Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 Best bet will probably be to wait to see if AEW announce shows over here next year and then assume WWE will run against them ? Quote

I do wonder if Vince cares that much about over here. He hasn't that much before. I'm all for it if it means they actually give us a decent show though! Quote

How is business doing over here for them on the tours? my comment was tounge in cheek but not sure if they run over here as often ( before the whole covid thing anyway ) I saw a couple of pics from a house show in Newcastle from this year but couldnt make out if it was a good crowd or not tbh, I'm assuming they still run the telewest arena or what ever its called now. I went to a show there back in 99 and remember it being a sell out, I have 12k in my headfor the attendance for some reason EDIT - Just remembered about Cagematch and their listings, the show I went to in 99 was 10,699 and the show there this September drew 7,723 which is way better than I expected them to do tbh Edited October 25, 2021 by Kamaras-Tash Quote

I think they always do pretty well over here as long as they don't run too often. But if there's more competition for peoples money with AEW then it'll be interesting to see what the crossover is and if it does impact on attendance. Hard to know at the moment, especially still in the middle of the pandemic really. I don't think we're completely back to normal in terms of seeing what true attendances could be. Quote
Healy52003 Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 The September date is the UK PPV apparently Drew vs Brock to headline I'm guessing Quote

Infinity Land Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 If it was a stadium show I could see it. It's a while ago now but they did use him in Japan. Quote
The King of Old School Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 We'll probably get Goldberg instead. Quote

That may have been more about making it look like important stuff happened on Network-exclusive shows, back when they were worried about getting subscribers. Quote
Paid Members Daaaaaad! Posted October 25, 2021 Paid Members Posted October 25, 2021 If I remember correctly, wasn’t he going to Japan anyway to visit Masa Saito, so WWE basically covered his plane fee in order to get a network special out of it? Quote
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted October 25, 2021 Paid Members Posted October 25, 2021 SummerSlam 2022 is July 30th. First one ever to not be in August. Quote
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted October 25, 2021 Paid Members Posted October 25, 2021 Sorry for the double, just realised all the (single night) PPVs are Saturdays next year. People happy with that? Quote
