The arson scene happened during the overrun so maybe 600,000 saw it. SUCCESS!
AEW needs a middle ground because it's random matches and Russo-like storylines involving blood, fire, and glass. And yes, the over the top stuff is a mix of Russo and what Vince booked during covid. I'm aware WWE recently did a 'massacre' backstage but at least it was shot well and The Wyatt stuff is way more grounded now. It was one night while AEW has set people on fire, jumped into glass, done home invasions, drank actual blood, and set homes on fire. The fans who hated Vince's brand of sports entertainment now like it. In 2024, I don't see that type of shock booking working and the empty arenas prove it.
I won't even get into Okada saying 'bitch' for a pop every week. That's pure Vince booking because foreign man sounds funny making American insult.
