the year aew started they were hotter then ever
attendance was up, they did the first 2 double dome shows and drew 70,000 people
They sold out Osaka-Jo Hall for a b show

If you believe the dirt sheets EVIL was always gonna turn heel and get the belt
Gedo stuck with the plan
Westerners didn't like the EVIL push
Japs don't want to go to shows since they can't cheer, they are shorter shows now (2 and half hours normally) and the cards are smaller but they being forced to pay the same price
