The question applies to WWE and AEW’s numbers here but are those actual sales or are those inflated numbers?

Apparently you can’t get official numbers from the o2 or Greenwich council (not that I’ve tried, and wouldn’t) so I believe that’s WWE’s own reported numbers.

I don't really want to ever watch them wrestle but I'm here for this shit.

 

[The King Of Swing]

Someone tweet that shit, to Meltzer.

Always a fan of these multi-match graphics. What a ripper of a card!

Ten men inside a one-ring cage seems ridiculous. You assume it turns into a bonkers Anarchy in the Arena-style match, with lads scrapping (and diving) everywhere. At some point, we cut live to outside the o2 Arena, where Kota Ibushi is doing Kota Ibushi things.

Chris Jericho watches on from the window of the local Wetherspoons.

I don't think i've seen the rules for this explained. As its to make-up for no Blood & Guts i'm expecting a tribute to the ROH v. CZW Cage of Death.

Im still expecting Darby Allin to take advantage of 50% off 'Up at the O2' on Sundays and coffin drop through the roof to the cage below.

I'm guessing the cage match will main event?

It has to, it's a light out match.

I bought the Upsale for the VIP Meet and Greet

Anyone had any email from AXS for this yet. I've no idea what time to set off. Anyone had there's?

[Tim Healys Chutney Spoon]

Fuck me! I just looked at the prices of food and drink inside the o2! Are they taking the piss or what? £5 for a bag of sweets and £4:10 for a bottle of water? Fuck right off!

[Merzbow]

Small O2 venues aren't much better, awful drinks at stupid prices.

Have you not been to any live events in the last decade?

I jest, but that seems to pretty much be the standard prices I see at these types of venues. It’s normally £9 a pint. Bag of popcorn was £10 at Wembley last year and frozen cocktails were £12 I think.
