Apparently Meltzer said they couldn't put 10,000 people in an arena on twitter or something and I guess they took that personally.
I think if they marketed it correctly and got some stars to sign on, they could do it. But if it's just Cody and the Young Bucks main-eventing here, it might be tough. |

They could get 10,000 in the right town and at the right time, because I could see their efforts going a bit "viral" and people going "ironically" or to stick it to WWE because they are so "cool".....

No way, WWE can't even draw 10000 in most placed with John Cena, how in the fuck would CODY and The Bucks draw more?

To be fair they probably could have drawn more for the Chicago show if roh ran a bigger venue. If I recall tickets sold out in like a week.

I saw two indy shows headlined by Cody this year. Cody/Ricochet and Cody/Mysterio. Fun times.

There's a term in politics when you start believing you can achieve the promises you should never make. I've forgotten what it is. But I do wonder if Cody and The Young Bucks are starting to believe that they are actually draws on their own?

According to the Observer, Cody and the Young Bucks are currently down to Chicago and Southern California as the host of their attempt at a 10k show. A few other potential locations were dropped due to traveling and cost reasons.
Also recently had a meeting in Dallas regarding potential sponsors to get for this show. |

Only way Cody, et al draw 10k is if they
A. somehow manage to get Punk to wrestle Cody and put the Bucks against a big up and coming team like the Ugly Ducklings. Or B. Get a piece of paper and a lot of pencils. |

I've seen some rumblings that Cody and the Bucks might have Jericho and Rey on board for doing this with them. Does that change anyones views?

Nope. There best bet is to do it the day before a Wrestlemania in a smaller arena in the same city. Otherwise, I see no chance of it happening. Not enough smart fans in one given area, nor will there be enough big names to draw that many to travel miles to get there....

I don't think people care as much as they think. I'm sure they can get a few thousand, but Jericho doing special appearances like this is going to lose its luster pretty quick -- the law of diminishing returns, etc. Rey is a legend too, but it's not like he was packing out 10,000 for WCPW or whatever. They're looking at Chicago. I imagine they will try to get Punk. Even so, I am actually skeptical. I wouldn't be shocked if they achieved it, but how much is CM Punk wrestling on his own really worth? And then is it really Cody and The Bucks drawing that crowd? They can probably make a profit if they manage to get it on a subscription network and people sign up to see the Punk return. |

There were probably like 2,000-3,000 people at the show I went to in August that had Cody/Rey headlining and Jericho doing an autograph signing/photo op. The stadium was like an hour and a half outside of Manhattan.
I'd say that's a good start if their plan is to hold the event in a proper wrestling hotbed. |

Yeah, but these guys are basically challenging themselves, and thats never a bad thing. Whether you think they can do it or not, you can't deny its got people talking about them. Even if they don't make 10,000 they won't look bad as long as the show is good enough which I'm sure it will be. Hell, if it gets good enough reviews they can use that to promote it next year for another try.

If they get Punk in Chicago, they should get the 10,000.

It seems more likely. I wouldn't be shocked if that happens. It wouldn't surprise me if they get to 8,500 though. "Should" is the right word, but I don't think it's a given.

If you need wrestlemania to draw your crowd then, and this might blow your mind, you didnt draw the crowd.

Although as a trade-off, you also have to deal with a lot more competition than usual because of the large number of shows held during the week by WWE and other indies. |
