I just feel like pointing out that it actually wouldn't require a lot of vacation time. The shows are on the weekend. It seems like it would be pretty easy to only take one day off per show (the Friday before the show) to fly to the show, and then fly back either the Sunday or Monday, since All In/DoN/All Out are all on holiday weekends. That means that a hypothetical person that were to fly in to all three shows would really need to only use a grand total of three vacation days to make them all. Hell, I flew out after work on Friday for Double or Nothing and didn't need to use any vacation days. Hasn't every show been on a the Saturday of a 3 day weekend? People don't reasonably need to use any vacation days so long as they are in a major metropolitan area. Pretty smart really.

Welcome to TV mutli-mans bay-bee.
I might just love New Japan multi-mans.
I don't think it'd be a bad idea to throw a squash or two on each episode using local talent. Jungle Boy and Marko Stunt aren't going to be able to eat every pin. It will be interesting to see how AEW shapes its lower and midcards based on the roster they have. We know who the main eventers are, but the roles the rest are going to be playing are sort of up in the air, as it were. Which is kind of exciting, really. Cody and Tony Khan are big fans of Nitro-era WCW's undercard, and they've got Jericho and Malenko who were responsible for a lot of that great undercard. If they shoot for that kind of vibe, almost anyone can become a guy worth watching every week.

At least WWE managed to keep them from signing Keith Lee or Donovan Dijak, both of whom I’m sure are not kicking themselves for this.

Keith Lee is probably having a good time.
Dijak however may be kicking himself given what hes been through

Keith is with his girlfriend there (Mia Yim for those keeping score), so at the moment, I'm sure he's pretty content. Fair to say this time last year, something like this wasn't an option, so most people who signed may well be regretting it.

If i'm not mistaken it was reported many times that Riho was interesting of going full time to AEW She was on a five show trial deal to see if she liked working in/living in the US while she figured out whether to work the US or south east Asia. She apparently liked her DoN experience. Now Riho says she isn't interested in going anywhere fulltime and wants to freelance and live in Japan for the time being, so who know lol. But Gatoh did upload her final Ichigaya Chocolate Square match.

Stop playing with our hearts Riho,just because you are super adorable and talent you think it means we will give you a pass for messing with our hearts? Probably yeah but still you shouldn't,it is rude.

I never realized how young Riho is. Can't blame her for not wanting to uproot completely.

My guess would be that she knows she’s really young and will be in demand in a bunch of promotions in Japan for programs and probably wants to exhaust those before committing somewhere, not that she couldn’t juggle shows in the US here and there though.

I feel like they've backed themselves into a bit of a corner here, because Page vs. Jericho has to headline but Omega vs. Moxley should.

Even though there has been absolutely nothing to suggest this I get the sneaky suspicion they may build to a Darby Allin vs Joey Janela match

Now confirmed for the show:
Page vs Jericho- Winner gets AEW Championship
Lucha Bros vs Young Bucks- Ladder Match (Presumably for the AAA Tag Titles)
Moxley vs Omega
The AEW Tag Title Tournament (Featuring Dark Order vs Best Friends)
Aja Kong vs Awesome Kong
That is a NICE card already, god damn... Cody vs Spears will probably be made official eventually too.
