Powell’s POV: AEW pay-per-views are priced at $49.99 (or $39.99 on HBO Max). Join me for my live review starting with the pre-show or at the start of the pay-per-view card at 7CT/8ET. Jake Barnett and I will co-host a same-night audio review for Dot Net Members (including our Patreon patrons).
You could easily shave off those last two matches on the main card and it’d be plenty.
Meaningless tournament matches, 4 way title match, tag street fight, asinine multi-person mixed tag, and probably a 7-8 hour PPV. No wonder TV ratings and attendance continue to swirl down the shitter.
