Trips leaning hard into biggest in history gates, I get it. Which I hope is a way to push Vinces influence out. Some one should have told the relatively quiet crowd most of the night that didn't actually boo Brock, lol. I feel like if AEW didn't announce the huge Wembley show we never would have saw that video package touting every show on the Euro tour sold out. I'm glad people show up for wrestling but they're just house shows guys. It felt like a, see...Europe likes us too.
