Wow what a show. My first ever AEW show in person, some thoughts from the experience.

  • I hope the crowd volume translated well on TV - it was electric in there all night

  • Don Callis heat was absolutely nuclear, I don't think anyone in the arena heard a word he said

  • I can now put on my resume that I've been scissored by Anthony Bowens. On that note - The Acclaimed are potentially the single most over act with the crowd. 50% of the merch is Acclaimed merch and outside of booing Don Callis, the crowd was definitely the hottest for either them or Kenny.

  • Kenny Omega is somehow even more impressive in person - hot damn he's just a level above when it comes to making you believe it's real with how he performs every move

  • Without any spoilers, rampage is a really fun one. Definitely worth tuning in on Friday.

  • The only other live show I've been to is when Smackdown came to edmo like 15 years ago - even with the large gap I'm wowed by the difference in experience between a WWE show and an AEW show - you hear people talk about how WWE shows are shows made for TV that happen to be filmed live and AEW shows are shows made for the live experience that happen to be on TV and I can definitely agree - you almost don't realize there's commercial breaks going on at an AEW show if you're not actively paying attention for it.

  • I apologize for us accidentally booing Stu Hart. We're all hardwired to boo the moment anyone says the word Calgary, even in casual conversation. It's not something any of us can control

Great write-up! You guys were one of the best crowds in a long time. I'd be surprised if AEW isn't back within a year.

Hopefully! I've heard that ticket sales weren't quite what they were hoping across the Canada tour, so here's hoping that doesn't deter them from coming around again in the near future.
