The Dart Posted October 25, 2021 Share 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.

You're right. I can't think of anyone associated with WWE ever saying something daft before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamaras-Tash Posted October 25, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't that much before. I'm all for it if it means they actually give us a decent show though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Healy52003 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 The September date is the UK PPV apparently Drew vs Brock to headline I'm guessing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinity Land Posted October 25, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Daaaaaad! Posted October 25, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted October 25, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted October 25, 2021 Sorry for the double, just realised all the (single night) PPVs are Saturdays next year. People happy with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
