I honestly think AEW would be smart to see if they can get a residence in Las Vegas for their weekly TV shows. Cuts down on travel, allows wrestlers to move their families to where they're working and gives you a homegrown audience similar to NXT's while also being a tourist draw for wrestling fans.

I still remember going to a WCW Saturday Night taping in Florida at Disney. I'm sure all of you junkies remember the spinning ring and it became a C show. They had cheer and boo lights up because mainly it was Disney Park tourists getting out of the heat and not wrestling fans.



If they can establish a loyal vegas audience then staying there and not doing a ton of travel is great. NXT works because those fans see themselves as the new ECW fanbase. But you always worry about burning out a fanbase. When you're stationary if you have a few bad cards in a row you can suddenly see a empty crowd in a hurry.
