| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of Rustalomics 3. I'm Brandon Therson Broadcasting live |
| 0:03.8 | and I'm from both of New York for today is Sunday. January 1st, 2023 got the year right |
| 0:13.2 | and I am joined today by Jesse Collins and maybe by Chris Call who has just been sent away |
| 0:20.9 | to Rebootie's computer. We'll see what happens. But hello Jesse Collins, how are you? How's your new year? |
| 0:28.1 | New year was pretty good. I hope all of our listeners had a good and safe New Year's Eve. |
| 0:33.4 | And it starts, you know, wrestling. There's already been one major show in Japan already by the time, |
| 0:39.1 | probably more than one. I know the Big Noah show with the Muto Shinsuke Nakamura match, |
| 0:44.4 | which I believe has drawn the biggest, I haven't seen it yet, but it was turning towards being |
| 0:50.0 | the biggest non-New Japan show in Japan. I think it was Budacan. I haven't seen an |
| 0:58.0 | attendance figure yet for it, but I think it's basically, they came, they were talking, I heard |
| 1:02.4 | talk about a possible sellout for that show. I haven't heard any senior confirmation, I haven't |
| 1:09.3 | seen the show yet, but we've already got one major show down and we've got a bunch of major shows |
| 1:16.4 | both in the US and in Japan. I feel like coming up the next week or two, got AEW's debut in Seattle, |
| 1:23.7 | which is probably going to be one of their biggest dynamite tapings of the year from an attendance |
| 1:28.1 | perspective. It might be the biggest dynamite from an attendance perspective. I think they have |
| 1:32.5 | over 8,000 tickets out, which will be more than Revolution. I believe there's under 6,000 I think. |
| 1:38.9 | Yeah, of course, Revolution is almost three, you know, Revolution is the first week in March, |
| 1:45.9 | so it's still two months to go for Revolution, but yeah, I'm sure like maybe like Grand Slam will |
| 1:54.0 | do better than whatever they end up doing with the Seattle show, but that's a big show. Obviously, |
| 1:58.7 | Russell Kingdom is this week. A bunch of other big shows in Japan, WWE has the Royal Rumble, |
| 2:04.9 | obviously coming up at the end of the month. Yes, in San Antonio with over 30,000 out. |
| 2:12.8 | But yeah, we'll get into many, many different numbers today. Last week we had, it was Christmas |
