From the Observer:
The PPV numbers look to be the strongest not only in AEW history, but the strongest for any non-WWE show in the U.S. since 1999, grossing in excess of $6 million and likely will end up closer to $7 million. Of that, AEW will take in a percentage likely around 50 percent because there is a split with distribution partners.
There are no television PPV numbers in at press time, but the B/R Live streaming numbers were up more than 50 percent from Full Gear in November and by far the highest of any show in AEW history, and these days that’s the primary number. Streaming numbers outside the U.S., depending on the service, were up 20 to 40 percent from the last show. Based on that, even if regular television PPV numbers don’t increase from the last show, and it’s hard to conceive that could be the case, they would be above the record 120,000 buys for the 2020 Double or Nothing show. Khan has publicly said it was the biggest PPV number in history, and privately within the company, being conservative with no TV numbers, it’s very likely that will be the case.

That's cool to hear. I sat it out myself but it's good that AEW's got a fanbase they can reliably count on to fork over money when the time comes. Wonder if being on Sunday this time around helped with that.

Meltzer surveyed some people who bought Revolution but not Full Gear. This is what they said on whether they would buy Double or Nothing:
- 12.9% said they were undecided and said it would depend on the card and how excited TV got them - 48.4% said either they would buy Double or Nothing or were strongly leaning in that direction - 35.5% said they would not buy Double or Nothing or were strongly leaning in that direction.

Still,it has show AEW has grow Maybe in the short term, but as long as they continue to put on a good product that people care about, then it should be fine. Like WCW had some of the worst ppv endings ever from 98 till the end. And kept being bad over and over again. So as long AEW doesn’t have that happen again, it should all good.

Still,it has show AEW has grow It'll be interesting for sure...the thing about it is, right up until the very moment of that botch it was an above-average PPV. I certainly felt like I got my money's worth. And they actually managed to pivot off of the botch into a compelling storyline (give Eddie Kingston a raise, the man deserves it), so I'm not going to hold it against them forever.

I mean the good news for AEW is they're never gonna do that match stipulation again
If they promise Blood and Guts and or Stadium Stampede 2 for Double or Nothing alone I think it's gonna garner a lot of interest. It's a shame how Revolution ended but if that ruined an entire 4 hour PPV for some people idk what to tell them. I'm sure people have spent more money for certain Boxing and UFC PPVs that have also been disappointing, it happens.

Still,it has show AEW has grow The other advantage, too, is that they're not going to be hyping a show next month. If it wasn't for UFC, we'd be talking about a 3 month gap from Revolution to Double Or Nothing which is an easier time to make a turnaround on a product's goodwill then, say, Hell in a Cell to Survivor Series. If DoN was next month, yeah, that would be more of a worry. Not impossible, mind you, but more of a challenge.

That's not bad at all considering the ending

Its impressive being it happened during a pandamic and being a company under 2 years old.

I don't think poll means much. We don't know how many haters/trolls voted. It will all be long forgotten by DON. Only way people would be nervous about the show. Is if there's some hard to pull off match like that. Causing people to talk about Revolution and question if they can pull it off this time. But that's unlikely to be the situation.

Yeah the ending was a dud but lets not forget how good the match was before that and that should be taken away from it. The show was very good outside of that. I think by the time double or Nothing comes around most would moved on and forgotten about it. Its not like its a gimmick match we see a lot anyway to the point of we should expect another anytime soon.

It's definitely not a super scientific poll by any means but these are people who had to go out of their way to email Dave. It wasn't a Twitter poll. I am sure there was some trolling but I think it speaks somewhat to the idea that people enjoyed the show for the most part, especially the main event. The sky is in fact not falling.

Oh yeah, for sure, but the gap to build goodwill back from a messed up ending would be longer then how other companies would.

Agreed, my only fear is after the exploding ring and Christian reveal debacles people might be hesitant to plop down $50 in three-four months for another AEW PPV. I hope I'm wrong as the PPV itself was great from top to bottom including the pre-show- #MakiItohForever.

As a first time AEW ppv buyer I'd lean to the how excited I got portion.
