The AEW Revolution 2024 pay-per-view event takes place on Sunday, March 3, 2024, from the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, NC.
The event will be shown in select bars and restaurants through Joe Hand Promotions instead of theaters. This marks a change from what they usually do with airing AEW PPVs in theaters.
Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that AEW has decided to air their PPVs in theaters no longer going forward. This shift to closed-circuit viewings at specific venues has reduced the event’s availability.
For instance, there are now only two showings in California: one at Tom’s Watch Bar in Los Angeles and another in Sacramento.
The AEW Revolution 2024 pay-per-view event is set to take place on Sunday, March 3, 2024, at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, NC. This highly anticipated event is expected to draw in wrestling fans from all over the country. However, there is a significant change in how fans can watch the event this year.
Traditionally, AEW has aired their pay-per-view events in theaters across the country, allowing fans to gather together and enjoy the action on the big screen. This provided a unique and immersive experience for wrestling enthusiasts. However, according to Dave Meltzer’s report in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, AEW has decided to shift away from airing their events in theaters.
Instead, AEW has partnered with Joe Hand Promotions to showcase the Revolution 2024 pay-per-view event in select bars and restaurants. This change marks a departure from their previous approach and has limited the availability of the event. Fans will now have to find specific venues that are hosting the closed-circuit viewings.
One of the reasons behind this decision could be the desire to create a more intimate and exclusive viewing experience for fans. By hosting the event in bars and restaurants, AEW aims to provide a more social atmosphere where fans can gather with like-minded individuals and enjoy the show together. This could enhance the overall excitement and engagement surrounding the event.
However, this change also comes with some drawbacks. The reduced availability of the event means that fans in certain areas may have limited options for watching it. For example, in California, there are only two showings: one at Tom’s Watch Bar in Los Angeles and another in Sacramento. This could be disappointing for fans who are unable to travel to these specific locations.
On the positive side, hosting the event in bars and restaurants may offer a more affordable option for fans. While theater screenings often come with higher ticket prices, watching the event at a local establishment may allow fans to enjoy the pay-per-view at a more reasonable cost. Additionally, the social aspect of watching the event with other fans can create a sense of community and shared excitement.
It will be interesting to see how this change in viewing format affects the overall experience of AEW Revolution 2024. While some fans may miss the grandeur of watching the event in theaters, others may appreciate the more intimate and social atmosphere provided by the closed-circuit viewings. Regardless, AEW continues to innovate and experiment with different ways to engage their audience, ensuring that wrestling fans have a memorable and enjoyable experience.
