Is there a DHGate bootleg of those footy jerseys...? I'm not paying 60 quid for what looks like an off-brand shirt.

For those who went to the previous shows (or other recent events) - which food items in the stadium are both A) actually worth eating and B) merely priced at "this is expensive but what do you expect at a stadium in London" rather than "I could not morally live with paying this much for that".

This isn’t the answer you’re looking for but, we just ate in BoxPark before the show. Enough that I think we bought some crisps while we were in there. A frozen cocktail was about £14 and not very big. Beer I think was £8.50.

All the food in the stadium is expensive and shit.

I'm going. All my fingers and toes crossed I'm not sat near any smelly or annoying twats.

Lahori Masala about a ten minute walk from the stadium does quite possibly the best Pakistani food I've ever eaten.

Very reasonably priced and has now become mine and the kids pre food stop before gigs and football at Wembley. 

The food inside the stadium is dreadful and ridiculously expensive.

Nope. However the 'retail park' surrounding the stadium has lots of high street chains that are priced normally and you possibly have vouchers for (Zizzi, Wagamama, TGIs etc). And a Tesco Express that gets mobbed.

My Bret Hart Blcksmth shirt is one of my favourite things I own. They're really good. 

I did look on DHGate and could only find a Liv Morgan one. Their search is shit though. Maybe an expert like @SuperBacon can find more.

Card so far...

* AEW World Championship Match: Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay
* AEW Women’s World Championship Match: Willow Nightingale vs. Mercedes Mone
* AEW World Tag Team Championship Match:s Adam Copeland & Christian Cage vs. The Young Bucks.
* AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship Match: Divine Dominion vs. The Brawling Birds.
* AEW TNT Championship Falls Count Anywhere Match: Kevin Knight vs. Darby Allin.
* AEW International Championship Match: Kyle Fletcher vs. Konosuke Takeshita vs. Kazuchika Okada.
* Casino Gauntlet Match: Andrade El Idolo (#1) vs. MJF (#2) vs. More TBA.
* AEW Continental Cup Finals: Competitors TBA.

Looks OK, but I dunno was expecting more I think.

Continental Cup Final will be Moxley vs White I think.

Presume we'll get a Trio's Title match with Hangman's team against whoever Swerve gets to join him. Probably throw in The Demand and make it a "Ladders of London" match or something.

Not sure what else we'll get, imagine anyone stand out missing off the card will just be in the Casino match.

Personally I would've hoped to see MJF in a better position on the card. I think he really pulled it back and deserves something better.

The International Championship Match is probably going to be worth admission alone.

Still undecided if I'll go just because I already did Mania this year with decent seats so doesn't feel like a must-see experience. I don't think I'd enjoy it quite as much up on level 5 or whatever so would probably rather watch it at home. But I'm sure it'll be a great atmosphere for anyone going.

They'll have a match, and it'll be fun, but this should be a series of skits of them brawling all through London shown on the screens during matches to keep the live crowd entertained before Darby misses a coffin drop off the london eye.

I was thinking similar.

Have them start the match early on the show, and have them go outside Wembley, scrapping through London etc, probably couldn't make it work but brawling onto a Tube to take them away from the area so they don't have a camera on them straight away then eventually make there way back into Wembley after a match finishes and do the finish in the stadium.

I would too, but I wonder if he’s in a multi-person match simply to reduce physical strain, getting him on the show without him having to wrestle in too intensive a match given there were reports of him being banged up.

I think it’s a great card - the two World title matches alone make it must-see for me.

MJF stepping back and letting Omega and Ospreay headline the biggest show of the year makes me appreciate him even more. Strong contender for wrestler of the year.

The Casino winner has to give notice now, don’t they? To differentiate it from Money in the Bank? Just checking MJF can’t cash in on the night.
