It truly is a hard downfall for what was once a promising project.

If they’re on Fite Plus, that’s probably why this is being phased out? This was a separate subscription like AEW Plus was if I read that correctly.

Also, Power never should have left free YouTube.

They don’t have the audience share of an ROH for paid weekly shows. At least Honor Club comes with 20 years of previous tv shows and PPV for that price.

They had a separate subscription yes but they are NOT on Fite plus lol the new model seems to be free on YouTube for weeklies and then full price for their 6 PPVs where the Fite deal was $5 a month with PPVs included

Wait, they’re not going to be on any of their Fite subscriptions? They expect people to pay full price for their pay-per-views? They think they’re AEW?

It technically never left youtube either tho btw, it just aired two days later than on Fite. And their B show aired on YouTube and Fite at the same time.

Only thing I can think of is they didn't get enough subscribers to cover what people actually buy the PPVs in full. Their fan base might be tiny but some are loyal and will buy every PPV

Are their PPVs at least reasonable like $20?

$20 or $30, I can't actually remember lol

That’s fair. If they legitimately fell below what they were actually already pulling in.

If it’s $20, I can’t really complain. I won’t buy it, but that’s reasonable. Anything more and they’re insane.

It's the only reason I can think of for why they'd just go back to their old model after only a year with this new one.

That’s the only benefit I’d give them. Because Corgan shouldn’t expect his PPV to skyrocket by increasing the price unless he already knows he can get a certain number and he wasn’t hitting it with Fite.

I'm guessing moving to the normal Fite+ would have been even less money going straight to NWA too. I guess they've settled on their small base and don't care to grow it at this point

If i was an actual fan I'd be pretty annoyed tho bc their subscription was a solid deal lol I even paid for it for a year last year and may have renewed but I won't be buying a single full priced PPV unless I have credits saved up and I'm bored

I do think this could backfire. There’s a reason WWE waited until another subscription wanted to buy the PPV rights. You can never unrung a deal like that.

People will not go back to paying full price. I was surprised AEW fans were willing to, but at the very least they never technically sold a $10 PPV themselves.
