I'm conditioned to pay for shit that I think is worth my money. I think AEW PPVs are worth $50 of my money.

 

[Hoss]

Would I pay $50 for some shit like Extreme Rules or Payback? Fuck no

 

[Kross Rhodes]

AEW is much better than WWE, but not 5 times better. Well, maybe, but I don't want the industry to go backwards. Streaming is the future. AEW will eventually get on board.

 

[Hoss]

I mean, way I look at it... if I hit the bar or go to dinner with my girlfriend or really just have a night out of any kind, I'm gonna end up spending $50 or so anyways. I view a good PPV as a night out type event. And since it's only 4 times a year, I can do that.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I will spend $20 on Fite, though. That's fair to me.

 

[Chris]

Well next year you essentially have 8 supershows

 

[Chris]

4 PPVs, 4 clash of the champions-esque specials on Saturdays

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I totes forgot about that.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I like it.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

That works for me.

 

[Chris]

I think they realize they can't do more than 4 traditional PPVs a year, they'd go to streaming if they ever added more like WWE

 

[Kross Rhodes]

It's funny, too, because EC mentioned the special Dynamites, and those have all banged so if AEW ever got a streaming service like Impact Plus, just give me those kinds of quality cards as AEW Plus Specials, and I'm good to go. But in them meantime, I love the idea of AEW Clashes.

 

[Chris]

They're also making a ton of money off their TV deals so I don't blame them for focusing on that

 

[Chris]

They're becoming a WarnerMedia cornerstone lmao

I wouldn't want them to. I often forget the difference between PPV and streaming show because WWE made the WWE Network the same as a PPV so to me, I just mean a monthly supercard that you have to pay for it, even if it's just for the service, and I think AEW will get there eventually. It's the future.
