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. I’m a die-hard fan and I’m very unsure if I’ll buy the next one. Depends on what they got.

Honestly I don't get the being mad at the announcement of Christian. Unless they are in a match or an amazing angle at the show I'll learn about it after the fact. Otherwise if it takes longer then Christian Cage's signing did I would get mad at them wasting time

Honestly I think a lot of people have overblown the effect of the botched ending or the reveal of Christian. I know it's a very small sample sign, but the people I watched with have never seen AEW, or at least not a lot of it, and while we laughed at the "explosion" we circled around to how badass the match itself was. Again, very small sample size but I wouldn't be surprised if casuals just shrugged their shoulders and moved on. I think because we're so passionate about the company itself sometimes, we are also the promotions biggest critics as well. Hence why we see things like this and judge them harder than some would. That's just my opinion of course, but I think it's something to think about anyways.

I doubt Revolution will have much of any effect on DoN's buyrate, positive or negative. It'd have to be a pattern of poorly executed shows and Revolution was mostly a good show with one now-infamous mistake. And the response to Christian was mostly positive anyway. Just the most outspokenly negative about it are over-represented.
The shows building up to DoN 2021 will have far more of an influence on its buyrate than any lingering memories of end-of-the-night sparkles.

If the Matt Hardy incident at All Out didn't hurt their overall growth and buyrates going forward, then I doubt the last three minutes of an otherwise postive show will either, in the end it was funny it was memeable but it isn't what'll define AEW.

It all depends on the card and having matches people want to see. Revolution did really well. Because you had big Omega/Mox match up and put them in unique match that many have never seen. That along with Sting return to wrestling in something we've never seen him do before. A long with excitement over adding Paul Wight and another big name joining the company.
So DON needs to build stories and create exciting match ups and maybe do something different. Other wise it could have big drop off in buys. But thAt won't be because the explosion dud. It will be due to the fact they couldn't create the same amount of interest in this show. There still hasn't been AEW ppv main event that hasn't featured Moxley or Jericho. So unless DON is Hangman big moment. Well that could be reason the buys drop. Even if both are on the card still.
Since I feel Omega needs Mox,Jericho or Cody to sell US ppv. Something like Pac, Brian Cage, Lance Archer or Eddie Kingston won't do well. Now if Christian got built up over next 6 months or so. Then got put in title picture it could work. But if he's wrestling Omega at DON. Being older ex WWE who hasn't been in the ring much in 7 years. Well if he's in title picture by next ppv. A lot of fans are going to shit on that .

Best non-WWE wrestling numbers in 22 years, but people still want to diminish the success. In a year from now, they will do even better. They're learning, they care, and they're not running out of money.

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. Asking people that follow you on Twitter isn't really surveying anything. Even tho I find those results amusing they aren't very useful. It's the same reason I don't but the "thumbs up down in the middle" scale of his. When you ask your audience on a program they pay for they're going to share a similar opinion to yours. Asking people on Twitter you're just going to get some fan responses and some trolling.

If they have strong angles and intriguing matchups, that'll be the deciding factor. They've fortunately been doing a good job of making their four PPVs a year feel like a big deal, while peppering in stuff like Fyter Fest for themed shows in the time between PPVs.

I'll buy the next one as long as they keep the price point the same. In NZ through the PS store they've only cost $20. Not sure how they pull that number off but im not going to complain.

My guess is that we get "Battle of the Belts" as a special Dynamite before DON. They did file a trademark application for it, so...
