Powell’s POV: The event will stream on FITE TV for $24.99 on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend.
Nothing like being current. Kross isn’t a WWE Superstar & Deonna is no longer the ROH Women’s champion. All good talent & so far a worthwhile looking show, but c’mon. Someone who supposedly covers the sport should really pay a bit more attention to detail.
I don’t write their press releases. That’s how they sent it. And, no, I don’t edit any company’s press releases. That’s not how it works.
