Man, this is some sore thumb cynicism. They wanted to go, paid to go, and appeared to have a lovely time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird take that Iâve seen circulating from some braindead AEW loyalist Twatters. Wouldnât have expected it from you though - they changed a title and debuted a new character to the storyline that both Roman and The Rock will be involved in when they return. Doesnât sound âhouse showâ to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snitsky's back acne Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I did look into the ticket prices for the Bash in Berlin. I was going to combine it with a holiday as I have always wanted to go to Berlin. However even the cheapest seemed to be about 500 Euros which I can't justify. Fair play though. Clearly if people are willing to buy them they are not overpriced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted May 5 Paid Members Share Posted May 5 The one thing this card really showed was that you don't need a card full of bangers to send the crowd home happy. Those frogs have hopped off just as happy as if they'd seen a 7 star classic. WWE is the draw, not any of the matches. The German crowd at the Berlin show will want to top it because of the natural rivalry with the French so I'd imagine you'll be able to hear them in London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereâs loads to do, itâs not massively expensive and itâs really easy to get about while youâre there. 28 minutes ago, Lion_of_the_Midlands said: WWE is the draw, not any of the matches. Back on topic, and this is spot on. WWE is a bit lacking on star power thanks to damage done during the McMahon era, but theyâve done a great job of making the most of what they do have, and of putting the groundwork in place to create matches you actually do want to see. Who on earth would have suggested McIntyre vs Punk as a serious draw even one year ago, for example? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many TV episodes contain that? Raw Day 1 from January of this year https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Day_1_(2024)  Championship Monday https://www.sportskeeda.com/wwe/wwe-raw-results-june-22nd-2020-winners-grades-video-highlights-latest-monday-night-raw Smackdownâs 20th Anniversary https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_SmackDown's_20th_Anniversary And those one just ones I remember (you have you 500, 1000 shows, retro nights, 10, 20, 30th anniversary shows etc). And they werenât charging premium ticket prices (obviously Championship Monday is the exception there as a Covid show). Maybe itâs because one of those title defences is for a shit secondary title no one cares for (Not Priests fault, but itâs a nothing title. The Chelsea FC of world titles). Fact is when you are charging Wrestlemania prices for tickets, I expect juicier matches than that. Just looking and the show had 5 matches and ran under 3 hours. Again, if youâre charging premium prices Iâd expect more. But clearly people are content with that, so I donât begrudge anyone who thought they got their moneys worth either watching or paying for a ticket. Itâs just an opinion.
