Rampage is Sunday Night Heat/Velocity. That's not a bad thing.

I am intrigued as to how they'll do their tapings without all the Dark Elevation matches. Hopefully they film a couple Rampage matches before Dynamite.

Depends on if they'd be free with Max or an extra charge on top of your subscription like UFC does with ESPN+

My personal opinion is charge a little extra for the main 4 they’ve always done and give Max specials for free. Basically the Impact method, but I’d probably only charge $20 extra for the PPV if you have Max.

exactly! They did too good of a job putting Punk on there to start and it set unrealistic expectations. now with the saturday show, it can avoid this criticism and be where its supposed to be. a fun, optional show with fun feuds that are mostly meaningless in the grand title picture, but thats fine because you dont feel like you have to watch it or miss shit

That'd be a great schedule

Punk getting over a million even just once for that slot is still absurd to me lol

I’d basically take all the special week Dynamite and Rampage themed shows and make them their own max special instead.

As of now Max doesn't have a PPV model. Don't know how difficult that is for them to add to the service but it could be a problem.

I'm glad they started putting the soccer on there as it is proof of concept for them doing live events.

New show on Saturday 8-10. Miro, Andrade, Hobbs, Samoa Joe headliners. Logo looks like early Monday Nitro logo.

Man so my old age joke about AEW being/becoming WCW stands tall, and thanks

yeah this makes a lot of sense and I think Warner would fucking love that shit

 

[Alexa]

Just the new Saturday show confirmed lol

Spoilers for tongiht, shame

Punk getting a million on the dead slot that is Rampage? Lies. Punk doesn’t draw.

Yeah that was a concern I had was that they'd fuck up live streaming on it but I didn't know they had soccer already so that's reassuring

yeah I think figuring that out (if it ever happens) really is the only thing likely holding back AEW going to that model. kind of what Zarian was implying , its not a question of AEW or Warner not being interested and apparently have regular talks about this, it sounds more like a technical issue atm where its unknown if MAX will have such capabilities as PPV and archiving old stuff
