Thought real hard about going but decided against it. Haven't watched main event yet but I'm guessing Ospreay/Fenix alone was worth a $40 ticket. Best guess on attendance? Caught the first half hour or so and crowd looked decent and sounded into it.
basically the seats looking to be bought up were 102-106 level and all normal floor spots and didn't get a shot of it all those 100 levels were 90% full and floor seats as well. Would be interesting to know how Des Moines stacks up against other cities crowds but based on some pictures on social media DM was much better than those.

AEW packs alot in those 2 hours. A bit into the show I checked my watch thinking we had to be an hour in and only 30 minutes had passed.

Could anyone tell who the guys were that were down backstage? I believe one was Gable who would make sense as a target.

Edit: Sounds like it was Gable and Gunther. Two guys that have turned on their factions recently

The one did kind of look like Gunther. I thought one of the guys looked like Carmelo Hayes, but he's Smackdown so that wouldn't make much sense.

It seems like they are pretty over already with the crowd, which would make going after Jey kind of dumb. Going after a Gunther or Gable would make more sense.

What a moment that whole main event was. Got emotional at the chair and them coming out to Bray's Shatter theme. Bray is smiling from above tonight.

It was about all you could ask for transitioning in-ring. For as awesome as the debut was when they destroyed gorilla, it was kind of a hard thing to move on from. Transitioning them into the ring was always going to be tough but I thought it worked last night.

Hopefully they learn from Fiend in dark red light matches but then again that was probably Vince stuff that HHH would likely never do.

Didn't catch it in the news but on smackdown they aired a tribute to Afa. Sika passed in late June of this year so crazy that Wild Samoans both passed within 2 months of each other.

Another tag team is together in the wrestling heavens. RIP :(
