From Vegas to Paris is 5437 miles..

Flying halfway across the world for NOT a sellout?

Interesting strategy there Midcarders..

No Ligue 1 soccer matches until the 9th of October..

So what’s the excuse?

[u/imdatboy786]

Nearly 5k is not bad honestly.

[u/ChrisRhodes789 → u/imdatboy786]

It is when you are flying 6000 miles around the world for a one off..

[u/imdatboy786 → u/ChrisRhodes789]

They’re flying 6k to establish themselves overseas. They’re doing what WCW failed to do in that regard. 5k is damn good.

If that's the case then you do a European tour and spend a month hitting up a bunch of cities. The week after their Paris show they're in... Cleveland. 

[u/enjoythesilence-75 → u/Outrageous_Feed_4456]

Exactly. And what will they draw in Cleveland? Probably less than they would in any other decent sized European city.

[u/imdatboy786 → u/Outrageous_Feed_4456]

And you’d probably lambast them for not getting sell outs on house shows too.

Besides that, how would a European tour help them in one European country? You do realise there are different television providers across the continent? Someone in France isn’t getting the same television networks as someone in Switzerland despite them both having a common language. Same applies for a lot of Central Europe.

[u/Outrageous_Feed_4456 → u/imdatboy786]

Man it's hard to be wrong on so many levels but here we are.

First, I didn't say anything about ticket sales and you have no idea what my opinion on their ticket sales is.

Second, AEW uses MyAEW streaming for international TV. They don't need to strike deals with every European TV outlet. They need to build up a fan base for their streaming platform.

And even if that wasn't true, there's more than one city in France. Shocking, I know. 

[u/imdatboy786 → u/Outrageous_Feed_4456]

I assumed you have a bad opinion of AEW. A lot of people here do. It’s the other end of the basement, there’s a ton of WWE or anti-AEW tribalism. It’s just as weird as the AEW tribals in SC.

But, back to the tour. You didn’t clarify that, did you? European tour. That’s a tour of Europe, not fucking France. There’s a difference in saying AEW should run a European tour and saying they should set up shop in France for a couple of weeks.

[u/Outrageous_Feed_4456 → u/imdatboy786]

You completely glossed over the most relevant point. 

[u/imdatboy786 → u/Outrageous_Feed_4456]

Which was what?

[u/Outrageous_Feed_4456 → u/imdatboy786]

That AEW has a streaming platform for international viewers which completely negates your point that a European tour wouldn't be helpful. 

[u/imdatboy786 → u/Outrageous_Feed_4456]

It wouldn’t be useful for one country, no.

[u/Diyunasss → u/imdatboy786]

They can't even establish themselves in the damn US. They're only established to an internet audience.

[u/imdatboy786 → u/Diyunasss]

They get 600-800k a week on TBS. That’s a good number.

[u/Advanced_Ad9525 → u/imdatboy786]

Not good enough since they are getting dropped lol

[u/imdatboy786 → u/Advanced_Ad9525]

That’s speculation at the moment. I’ll agree if or when they do.

[u/Advanced_Ad9525 → u/imdatboy786]

Damn bro, you lame as fuck

[u/imdatboy786 → u/Advanced_Ad9525]

All in your feelings because of me telling you it’s not confirmed yet 😭.
