Sign of Things to Come

By Scott Keith on 18 May 2024


Hey Scott,

For a while now a of people have been suggesting that AEW run shows in much smaller venues instead of the big dark empty arenas they've been performing in. In news that seems to be overlooked for some reason, it was announced that AEW will be doing a “Path to All In Summer Series” at the same venue in Texas for 5 straight Collisions shows and one ROH PPV mixed in there. The venue is an Esports arena and by the photos of it looks very small, maybe a little bigger than something like the ECW arena. I'm all for them doing something like this, especially for a show like Collision, Run a smaller more intimate location for a few weeks at a time with what i'm sure will be lively crowds, and move on to another area before wearing out your welcome. What are your thoughts on this possible change for the company? 
Sounds like a fun experiment for them.  Honestly given how hot the crowd was for that high school show in WI that I reviewed last week, they could even try something like that for fun. Get lots of kids in the audience.
