Plus why should we pay when fans in America and Canada don't have to, even the problem with not showing Fyter Fest and Fight For The Fallen has left a bad taste in my mouth of the promotion. How hard is it to find a UK charity where the money from PPV buys could go and support You've just landed yourself a job as the leader of the Entitled Era there!

Factotum Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Will they have youtube clips like WWE? In that case, I might catch up on those and then watch the Sunday show. Would have been good to get a full show on Thursday/Friday night. Would have done some good numbers for ITV I'm sure. Not sure why they haven't gone for that.

Paid Members Cod Eye Posted October 1, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted October 1, 2019 Christ, there are some moaning bastards around. I'm sure everyone that was looking forward to AEW's debut was hoping for a live, uncut showing to wither watch live or record, but ut hasn't worked out. Throwing your teddies out of the pram won't make ITV suddenly change their minds! An edited, Sunday morning show is a good way to keep abreast of things in the promotion, and if you are really hell bent on watching live, ÂŁ1 a show is a pittance for the enjoyment you would get from it. Shit, if folk are moaning about this, I'm ust glad there was no internet back in the late 80's/early 90's, when all we had was a couple of hour long squash shows to keep up with things, and if I remember right, it was a fair old gap between RAW starting in the US and us actually getting it over here. I remember being jelous as hell that the American fans got to see "competative" matches between actual stars on a weekly basis... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadmaninc Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Sorry for being passionate.

From the start, it's been obvious that the PPV's would be just that, "Pay-Per-View". The two "free" shows that the American market got were only free as they were not considered big enough shows to sell. I can imagine the only reason we had to pay, is that no network were willing to carry them for free.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, I don't know if anyone is 'throwing teddies out of the pram' or are under the illusion itll make any difference, just expressing disapointment that the deal Cody Rhodes promised was all pretty much hot air. I'm not THAT bothered, but it is dissapointing and since its a wrestling forum i'm not entirely surprised to see people talking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 AEW have turned heel in the UK with this, but they’re still babyfaces in the US.
