I think it’s important to note that Linda never said that about Vince in an interview. This info came from Lee Cole, the brother of a guy (Tom Cole) that used to work for WWE. He claims his brother told him that. It’s rumor, at best, currently.

I feel like Eric might be a little dated with his assessment of Australia. WWE and UFC have run HUGE events there (in fact, I'm watching UFC prelims for tonight's event in Perth). Australian fans seem enthusiastic AF for these types of big events. What I do agree with Eric on, is this. I'm not sure the appetite would be there for AEW. I spent a lot of time in Australia in 2022 (four months), and the only way I could watch AEW was via the FITE App (now know as Thriller, I believe). At the time, AEW wasn't even available on the main app I watched WWE programming on while I was over there (Foxtel), so I dont know how many folks actually watch AEW over there.
