Crowd size? Probably nothing to do with anything that actually happened on it. Pretty forgettable but there wasn't anything terrible about it.

We have to remember it wasn't until a matter of months ago that this was announced so its not like this show had been in the long term plans. Kudos for pulling it off and NOW putting it as a thing in long term plans. Ultimately we can judge it after All Out when we see how they used two PPVs in such close proximity to each other.

Also, what Tom Guycott said about the Punk/Perry incident. Although I wish it wasn't always Punk involved, Tony Khan never gets involved like this because he wants to be friends with everyone. Say what you want about Vince, but he squashes acting out like Perry is doing or has some stooge like a Laurenitis do it for him. Either way, its well known who's in charge and he isn't to be fucked with. We haven't seen that in AEW and someone has to be that dick as TG pointed out in his post.
It’s going to be remembered for the skewered narratives and myths around it. The show itself was inconsequential. It’s already forgotten. But we’ll hear Dave Meltzer talk about what a great success this was forever and a day.
