Double or Nothing 2024 Back in Vegas Yet Again

The Kia Forum with Mone likely in a big match is gonna be an interesting one, given how people thought she'd be there before, she feels like she'd be a big draw for that show just like Boston.

Yeah, the Kia Forum being for Dynamite is always fun and even though I wish it travelled outside of Vegas, it's nice they're back in the MGM Grand, which is as much a historical part of AEW as Daily's Place is.

I'd even take it in Atlantic City at this point, you can still keep the gambling theme!

Pretty underwhelming, the last few Vegas crowds have been some of their worst ever so I really hoped they'd move Double or Nothing. Tickets sold so poorly for that show last year too when basically every other PPV before and since has had a good to great size crowd. I didn't rate the Kia Forum crowd for Full Gear outside the Hangman/Swerve match but don't remember any issue with the Dynamite where Cole came back and the best of 7 series ended so maybe the most recent Forum visit was a one off, plus they'll probably make that show a big deal so cool with that one. I get they had their first show there and everything but every wrestling product is always better with a hot crowd and they just aren't going to get it in Vegas.

Had an amazing time every year going to Vegas for the show so looking forward to it! And it makes sense to run the MGM Grand. A little smaller but will still look awesome with a good sized crowd.

They'll never have it out of Vegas if they are going back there after last year's showing.

They did draw over 10K people last year and as someone who was there, it was a hot crowd when there was good stuff going on. I don't blame them for keeping it going.

I get the sense that DoN will always be in Vegas like All Out will always be in Chicago.

[KME]

Oh, only just clocked it's at the MGM Grand, just read the Vegas bit, but that's much more palatable tbh, ticket sales shouldn't be an issue there. Infinitely cooler venue than last years too and the added bonus of being the arena where they had their first aver show.

Tony has been pretty open about that from Day 1, unless something drastic changes those 2 cities are basically locks every year

Imo the T Mobile arena is also a cursed venue given the amount of shit that happened there on and off screen(MJF drama, Punk winning the title, Jericho vs Cole, etc)

I'm certain I heard somewhere that it would be Vegas this year and then they would move it elsewhere 2025. Maybe imagined that

I've always said that they should run Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City for DoN with the Wrestlemania 4/5 setup of the aisle-way down the middle of the building.

Much easier to get to also cause the Monorail station is inside MGM right next to the arena.
And much easier to wait for the doors to open for the arena too since it's inside the hotel with the AC on and you don't have to be waiting outside in the heat like at T-Mobile.

Khan likes his traditions so this isn't a surprise. I wouldn't be surprised if he already has Wembley Stadium reserved for the next five August bank holidays either.

Come to Detroit, we have casinos here too dammit!!!

[UN PLOMBIER NIGHTMARE #blm]

Time to go again

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

They sold about 4500 tickets via presale which seems pretty solid.

I am surprised we haven't had a PPV here yet. We have showed out both times shows were here in Detroit.

Double or Nothing coming here would be great, but I am going to need a Greektown Grudge Match. Basically Anarchy in the Arena, but in Greektown. They fight on the people mover back to the arena.

[KME]

Yeah Detroit needs a PPV soon, the last Dynamite there was absolutely stacked, genuine contender for the best ever, so easy to get excited for but the crowd was awesome regardless.
