couldn't draw enough fans to cover the running costs of the shows.
also the few people who did show up would upload videos of the matches online so other people could laugh at how bad they were(eg. brit baker vs anna jay)

Everything.
Having house shows in an age where everything and everyone has a camera is fucking stupid.

I went to one and I had fun but there was a huge lack of star power. Mainevent was Big Bill vs. Hangman and it was a good match but you're going to have a hard time getting normies to show up for that.

It was also like just a few days before the show happened that they actually started announcing matches.

it was an aew tour post collapse, anon. we're not kidding you when we say that the promotion died when cody left. hell, it's safe to say now he was essentially the architect of everything that worked, cuz i'll be damned if i can stand to watch anything the company produces now.

People will say audience but it's the fact that not enough wrestlers wanted to do it. I think this is a great example of TK overpaying for talent to do less and that's why they like it.

I understand wanting to limit your maineventers but there's absolutely no reason why guys like Sammy Guevara, Jungle Boy, and Ricky Starks shouldn't have been there. To make it even more insulting; MJF showed up to wrestle at an indie in New Jersey the same night of the house rules show I went to.

It was Tony mindlessly copying WWE like he usually does. WWE does house shows so he wanted to do house shows too but he didn't even think about whether it was actually feasible or not, fool that he is.

el oh el. If WWE wasn't running house shows at the time then I guarantee you Tony never would have tried to run them either. AEW is, after all, a shameless WWE copycat.

Tony isn't actually doing any house shows anymore because he failed at it
