Just to add, biggest heat of the night: When the screens showed the next NFL game here with the Jags, I think even more boos than Callis. The Fulham match graphic shown about 30 mins before that got even louder boos lol So, so funny

I was dead-central in the 100-level hard cam facing, best seat I've bought for a live wrestling event. Besides the sun going down for 5 mins and almost binding everyone, the visuals were ridiculous throughout the whole event.
Few other things - I arrived 25 mins before the pre-show started and the queue for what I believe was the Wembley ticket office was huge, where as my turnstile I managed to just walk straight in, check out few stalls and head straight for my seat.
There were two guys dressed as wyatt family bray and the fiend walking the stadium floor at various points- they got a massive ovation by at least 50% of the stadium at one point.

Underrated moment I remembered experiencing and needed to write down before I tried to sleep;
So guessing because AEW themes aren’t traditionally played in stadiums (know that FTR’s was played at a game recently, stuff like that), a lot of WWE themes were playing in the area with the food and merch and eventually, Cody’s theme played.
And yes, almost everyone there went “WOOOOOOOAAAAAHHHH!” and if I didn’t already get it from ‘Mania this year, I would completely get why people love doing that then.
And more importantly, a bunch of people did say “Adrenaline in my Soul, Something Something Cody Rhodes” because frankly, what else should you start that song with?

We sang that on the way to the show. Whoever made the playlist for the arena knew what they were doing, had Tarzan Boy so we didn't miss out on that after Jungle Boy's turn.

Was listening to Swerve’s theme music earlier and forgot what fun that was to dance to live. Completely got overshadowed by Sting’s entrance but thought I’d bring it up.

I didn't hear as much of the wrestling music in the concourse, but kudos to whoever played Enter Sandman in the main stadium area before Zero Hour. Getting to sing that with wrestling fans was a blast, and didn't even have to sit through an actual Sandman match afterwards.

And considering, as I said before, I’ve seen Swerve in a 300 seater bar next to a traditionally boxing stadia, being able to say “Swerve’s House” with a bunch of people was just so cool. And as I remember it, someone actually did bring a “LET’S GO CHUCK TAYLOR YOU’RE THE BEST WRESTLER IN THE WORLD” sign, which my early PWG following self got a real kick out of.

I've come back to this thread a few times through the week to add my thoughts and I still can't quite put what it meant to me.
The world is a tough place right now, but this was a completely joyous occasion that united the best part of 100,000 people for a few hours. It was honestly an honour to experience it.

Anyone have any celebrity experiences on the day? And by celebrities I mean wrestling Youtubers of course! Oli Davies from Wrestletalk was sitting in my section and I saw Jack The Jobber filming some stuff for Cultaholic outside Wembley. That was about it for me.
I think fans waiting 4 years for an AEW show in Europe plus a global pandemic had fans desperate to see this show and it was a smart decision by Tony Khan in the end.
