But it is obvious to some degree that AEW isn't the same hot promotion it was in the beginning. Remember the online waiting rooms for the first several PPV's and shows? Always sold out, jam packed. Well that has died off.

One thing I've noticed about AEW is they seem to be repeating the same markets a lot. I understood it last summer and even fall when large portions of the country were leery about re-opening, but they've been back on the road for a year now and the whole country's open. And at this point, even in another COVID outbreak, I don't see New York, California, or anything else shutting down events or anything.
Tickets still sell quickly when they hit up new markets or ones they go to less frequently. Rochester feels like a place that can only do so well going there once a quarter. Even reading the Twitter threads when they do ticket announcements, tons of people asking AEW to come to places they've never been. Change it up.
