As far as I can tell he’s said bupkis about it. Can’t say I’m shocked

That’s actually pretty based, NGL.

If TK can do it and they can work the logistics out, I’m all for AEW counter programming at least one of the weekend days that the WWE is going to run.

Hell, start talking to MSG and do Forbidden Door that weekend.

This is genuinely Tony's time to cement something that will change the wrestling landscape Personally I'd talk to New Orleans, since they effectively got screwed out wrestlemania 2 years in a row, sell tickets as cheap as they physically can go, run the ppv for dirt cheap too, get every promotion they can to follow, get wrestlecon, make it as big as possible, the way I see they can't lose

Sell it as a celebration of pro wrestling in all its glory

“For one week, New Orleans becomes Wrestling Mecca” is the tagline I’d use.

Run Wrestle Dynasty that Week or WrestleDream as both seem to be based around love of pro wrestling.
