Can't get their website to load properly, but the announced card looks like it's basically CYN plus Alistair Overeem, for some reason. Maaaan, my little amount of optimism is basically negative levels now looking at that card.

Is Lana gonna get put through another table?
Also, trust the authors to get too involved in a narrative.

Adam Sherb vs. Alistair Overeem has potential to be absolutely hilarious

I really can’t imagine how awful that Nia Jax/Lana match is going to be.
AND ITS FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP

The undercard actually looks somewhat decent for a first time promotion. An Impact title being defended. AoP vs. Forgotten Sons is actually somewhat appealing with Gunner not there, and Maclin having the run of his life in Impact. We rag on Mike Bennett, but he can definitely carry his weight against Biff Busick. The other matches look fine, though maybe unspectacular.
But holy shit, Nia Jax vs. Lana and Braun Strowman vs. Overeem is some crack booking.

They've done well to book an interesting card at short notice but damn those ticket prices. Especially with the cost of living at the moment.
Ticket Prices: VIP Meet & Greet (includes signed merchandise and meet your favourite stars): £348 VIP Floor Seats & Merch: £228.00 Price A Seats: £166.92 Price B Seats: £110.92 Price C Seats: £84.93 Price D Seats £63.46 Price E Seats £44.25 Price F Seats £37.47

Those ticket prices are similar to what the WWE Smackdown House Show was last November (And that didn't sell out) and these are the prices I suspect that any AEW Show would cost.
I live in Nottingham and have been to The Arena a lot and it isn't cheap to run so unless it's configured or they are getting the Arena Rental on a discount due to the late notice as well as thinking that they want it open on a Saturday night, I really don't get it.
It's great that more promotions are formed as it means more bookings for talent and this show does have some name value talent.
However anybody wishing to get tickets and have an ounce of Wrestling knowledge will wait to purchase because there is a strong chance that tickets will get heavily reduced near the time.
I hate to say that but unfortunately it's the truth.

A friend reminded me that it was like a year ago or less that Alistair Overeem said wrestling was stupid and gay. I'm now double hyped for this main event.

There's not a single person on the card based in the UK? That's insane. So just on flights alone its gonna be 10k without paying the talent or accommodation for them.
What utter mark is paying for this?!
