What do you think was the major factor for low ticket sales that caused WWE to move the Money in the Bank PPV out of Allegiant Stadium?  Was it that it was too close to Summerslam (and Double or Nothing) for people to fly in?  Was it that Money in the Bank isn’t on the level of the Big Four to warrant a stadium?  Lack of proper Star power?  Vegas isn’t a traditional wrestling town?  A combination of the above?

The main reason is that they ran it during Fight Week, with UFC running T Mobile.  I think the fact that MITB isn’t a major event was also a big part of it.  Vegas has a ton of entertainment options (I should know, I live there).  You had better be running a premium event if you want to draw crowd, and you should avoid running against the hometown UFC.  I think WWE definitely didn’t do their homework on this one.

Do you think Summerslam will have a low turnout due to WWE running it in July?

I don’t think it should be an issue.  It shouldn’t be in my opinion.

After beating MJF, what should be next for Wardlow?  I say have him just wreck people over the next two months like Goldberg did and then challenge Scorpio Sky for the TNT title at All Out and destroy Dan Lambert before winning it.

I say you keep building him up.  Put a few challenges in his way and let the build to his first Title match go for a while.  There’s no reason to rush it.  Let him continue to grow.  There is money in Wardlow.

Now that Tony Khan owns Ring of Honor, should All Out become All In again?  I think it’s All In is a better name.

It doesn’t matter to me but since they have been doing All Out as an AEW brand, I would stay with that if it were me.

How much did Tony Khan purchase ROH for?

He hasn't said and neither has Sinclair.
