AEW Dynamite Sets New Record In Los Angeles

AEW

AEW has set its record for the last day of sales in the history of the company for its recent Los Angeles show.

The January 11 episode of AEW Dynamite AEW Rampage took place at Kia Forum in Los Angeles.

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said:

“They set their record for the biggest last day of sale walk-up sale in the history of the company.

“For a show that started at 4.30 in the afternoon, that’s a very good sign, probably the best sign that they’ve had no matter what the rating is that the stuff is starting to take hold after a period where, for a lot of different reasons, stuff is bad.

“They still have some advances that are bad.  The Cow Palace (Dave would later correct this to refer to the Chase Center in San Francisco) is over 6, but all the other PPVs that they’ve done have been at this point nine, ten, twelve. So, it’s still low.”

The Chase Center show would be AEW 2023 Revolution, taking place on Sunday, March 5.

Meltzer would then go on to discuss how this show compared to AEW’s first show at The Forum and other wrestling shows to have used the venue, stating:

“There’s some good ones and some bad ones but this a good one.

“It was one of the biggest pro-wrestling crowds ever in (The Forum’s history), obviously the second biggest gate at The Forum. 

“I’d have to look it up, but I believe the fourth biggest wrestling crowd in the history of The Forum.

“For a second show in, they held up.  It wasn’t like the first which was a legitimate sell-out but it was a very good crowd. An over $700,000 gate.”
