AEW recently made a change in its schedule, in what seems like an attempt not to clash with WWE Wrestlepalooza directly. According to wrestling veteran Vince Russo, the plan may not work as well as the All Elite president thinks.
Wrestlepalooza and All Out are scheduled to happen on the same day, September 20. Recently, AEW announced that All Out is slated to start at 3 PM ET. While this decision may seem necessary given the competition, Vince Russo thinks it won't make much difference.
Speaking on Sportskeeda's Writing with Russo, the WWE veteran stated that the timing change will likely have a negligible effect on viewership.
"Moving the time may make a little difference, but if it does man, it's just gonna be a slight difference," Russo said.

AEW President Tony Khan's decision will affect fans negatively, thinks the WWE veteran
All Out is set to take place in Toronto, Canada, and as usual, many fans from all over the world are expected to attend the pay-per-view. According to Vince Russo, the sudden last-minute change will affect fans who have already made their travel plans.
Speaking on the same episode of Sportskeeda's Writing with Russo, the former WWE head writer said:
"Bro you gotta look at, a lot of people made their travel around this. A lot of people made their travel around a certain start time. You know what I mean? And they weren't given much of a heads up or much of a notice, and I am sure you know it screwed with a lot of people's plans. Now if they, you know I know they didn't have a lot of time to plan for this because you know, what the WWE pulled. But I totally get them moving the time and I don't have an issue with that."
As of now, only time will tell how this year's All Out event pans out.
