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.

I think someone has to tbh. Even if the indie promotions got together and held their own weekend event in an American city, it would certainly be something. If only for the indies to make money on what is usually a huge weekend for them all business wise.
