AEW All Elite Wrestling #9: Mox Aggressor Brings the Blood

[Fro]

Might just be that rather then rise with the division as it has improved she instead feels threatened by it because she isn’t the big fish in a small pond anymore. Probably 5-10 women that have passed her by in the company.

Very well could be that...

The sounds you hear right now are the anti AEW grifters furiously moving the goalposts.

About the TV deal? Yeah sounds like an unquestionable win for the company and still could get another little slice selling some rights to Fox.

 

[Fro]

Fightful saying Max deal will be separate and additional revenue dollars

That's just the reality of living in the internet era. It'll never end. I've learned to ignore it.

 

[Emperoreddy]

The only news that should matter for fans is that extra deal getting the PPVs on Max.

I'll definitely make more of an effort to catch their PPVs live if they get on Max

This is the kicker for me. Yeah they're making more money blah blah blah, don't care. Khans are loaded already. I just want PPVs on Max for something that isn't $50.

I figure if you assume they are getting around 50 million a year with the current model...I doubt they can ask to be paid 50 for being put on Max but if they can get in the 30-40 a year range for their PPV's it would probably be worth it to increase your exposure. But they definitely have to get paid to some degree to give up the current model that obviously has been working really well for them business wise.

You’ll probably still have to buy them as PPV’s though

Would being on Max really be more exposure though? I seem to remember when it was still HBOMAX that it was considered to be a bit of a disappointment of a service that wasn't really doing a whole lot

I get it for "free" thru my cable provider due to HBO being part of the package, but I have only watched a handful of things on it personally.

Also would they be sharing more money from the PPV sales with WBD/MAX than they were previously? I'd heard that the way the PPV system worked was that the promotion basically took home about half of the PPV cost, so around 25 bucks on a 50 dollar show, so would this 50 million be in lieu of the money they would normally be getting from PPV sales, or in addition to that money?

Eh...lots of people probably get Peacock just for WWE. I got it years ago for Yellowstone and forgot to cancel. The occasional NFL game is nice, but no reason to keep it.

I just wonder if it would be an exclusive thing, only having the PPVS thru Max, it looks like Max actually has a pretty large subscriber base now, so it has improved a good bit from the HBOMAX days, but it still wouldn't hurt for them to still be available thru traditional PPV channels as well for the person who might only want to see the bigger shows or one or two a year

Currently it looks like MAX is anywhere from $10 - $21 per month, and currently the B/R add on is free, but supposedly not for long, so it would come down to what it is worth to you, and how much they charge for the B/R thing and if they also charge an additional fee for the PPVS

 

[TheBeastCoast]

The Outrunners were on Jericho's podcast talking about their past in WCCW and Undertaker wanting them to watch one of his matches. "The Undertaker wanted us to watch one of his matches. He came back and I was absolutely livid. I said, Mark, which I later found out was his name....I said Mark it's a good thing you're walking around like a zombie because this town is officially dead". Wonder if we get the debut of Turbo's father Chongo Floyd the 3rd best wrestler in Florida one day. Entire podcast was electric.

 

[CDJ]

When the road warriors came out they used to get the Outrunners pop

Must’ve been really cool for Cash and Dax to be saved by the tag team they grew up admiring

 

[TheBeastCoast]

That was a really good match...idk if it needed to be over 20 minutes though.

Def did not


So that’s what Kip Sabian looks like these days? Credit to him for getting paid since day 1

 

[CDJ]

way to stall for 20 seconds Excalibur, that’s why you’re a pro. Filibuster king

Reminds me of my Monday morning meetings when I have to stall for the group until the director shows up

 

[CDJ]

Oh great let’s let the 5’5 woman punk out Private Party now. STOP DOING THIS

 

[GKJ]

Mina is coming

 

[CDJ]

Put Satnam over on Hangman

 

[CDJ]

Takeshita is the GOAT

 

[Fro]

Ospreay/Takeshita will be amazing

 

[Clint Eastwood]

I think Ricochet is joining Callis.

In that heated debate with Ospreay, he said that everyone has been coming after him. I wonder if that includes Don Callis.

I just think if they're not doing this match at Wrestledream then they have something lined up.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

I wonder if we’re not looking back 10 years from now and reflecting on the Davis injury being trajectory altering for both guys. Fletcher looks like a singles PPV type in the making.

Marina needs a different layer to her new character. I get the MMA background, but she’s not physically imposing enough to be just the muscle for Moxley. Someone like Kamille more looks the part.

If you happen to find yourself abroad, bring a travel router (GL.iNet stuff works pretty flawlessly) and a streaming stick with you. VPN back into your home network and it’s like you never left.

 

[TD Charlie]

I'm really liking the direction they are going with the in ring action. Ospreay has transformed this roster with all the potential matches they can pair him up in. Kyle Fletcher looks like a million bucks right now. Takeshita just always does his job. Ricochet is having a blast.

They REALLY gotta find a way to fill out some of these arenas. The shows have been really strong for a while now but the thin crowds kill the vibe
