Powell’s POV: The Owen Hart Cup tournament match was announced on Dynamite, and the MJF vs. Hechicero match was made official after Dynamite. AEW pay-per-views cost $49.99 and are available on traditional pay-per-view television, TrillerTV.com, and other streaming platforms. I will be covering the show live and a same night audio review will be available for Dot Net Members (including our Patreon patrons).
8 matches. Thats enough for the love of god. At least most are singles matches. But i can see a buy in match or 2 … 12 matches possibly … too many.
With a large amount of ppvs now surely Tony can see not everyone has to be on every ppv.
Build stories to culminate on different ppvs. Spread it around.
