I'm taking this wjth a grain of of salt for now hopefully the UK show is true though

[Feargus McReddit]

So if true, on the one hand I think having a show a month is too much at the moment but on the flip side, if I'm TBS or TNT, I'd like to know that this company's not going to be a Five Star Wrestling and brag about holding events but not hold ones substantial enough to keep the deals worthwhile. I mean, there's a much more solid groundwork but TV networks need to know that for sure.

If the UK show happens...that's f***ing crazy. Because that would be an admission that the UK is a global battleground for pro wrestling with NJPW having ties with Rev Pro and WWE having ties with PROGRESS and ICW. Heck, Rev Pro, IPW and PCW are all on TV now which is mind boggling for fans like me who remember The Wrestling Channel and how quickly south that went.

Don't think it'll be at the Royal Albert Hall, as the Proms has it booked all August long.

[Facetious]

I've been hearing rumblings about the September Chicago since last month.

I'm hoping this is true. It would be a nice way to ease into storylines to keep interest before the show takes off

[Dub H]

Yeh I assume the monthly shows are more for investors,so they can be assured their money is going to something that takes action and is proven to do so.

If true, I believe by the June show they'd introduce the titles they're having and crown first champs

[ben:friendship frog]

Yeah, no f***ing chance for the Royal Albert Hall in August, which questions the validity of the rest of this leak

[Fade]

“All Out” is such a weird name tho

Agreed on Albert Hall but don't kill my hope of a UK show. I could see them running another London venue though.

I think it’s in the vein of “we’re going all out (i.e. balls to the wall) just before our tv deal begins to show people how good the AEW product is” type of thing

Oh I'm sure they'll run London sooner of later based on the Fulham connection. I just mean some of this leak is obviously bullshit so I won't believe the rest of it.

Are there other investors besides the owner of the company?

[Mozenrath]

This does seem sketchy, but I don't think a monthly thing is necessarily a bad idea, if the point is to gauge interest and given how fast the two shows so far have sold out. They're going to have to do TV or the like sometime, after all.

[Deleted]

Technically, they don't HAVE to do anything. They could run 5 shows a year if they want to.
