In this week's special episode of The Nerd Federation Podcast, host Will Hernandez revisits AEW's first PPV as we approach the show's 5th anniversary.
The first Double or Nothing took place on May 25, 2019 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The show drew a sold-out crowd of 11,000 and did between 109,000 and 113,000 PPV buys.
Will goes through the whole PPV, even the preshow, as AEW sets the tone for a new era of pro wrestling on TV.
