AEW introduced their own FAST channel. But here’s the kicker for international fans (or if you can use a VPN) - all AEW and ROH PPVs included on the $19.99 a month or $119.99 annual plan.

An absolute bargain. Before I was using my VPN to buy the AEW PPVs for like $25 per month, now I can subscribe annually and basically get all 10 PPVs for slightly less than I was paying for 5 of them and then I can get all the TV shows and all ROH weekly TV/PPVs on top of that.

I can’t confirm if you can watch PPVs via VPN yet but they give the option to subscribe via VPN.


Sounds good - might as well just scrap roh honor club not like many people use it anyways.

WWE doubled down on the Rollins masked shadow dance brigade. That's currently the worst storyline in wrestling. Even with a healed Vision it would suck.

I’m way behind on my socials. I’m just now getting to Raw time. Saw the clip of the masked men crowding the ring.

This is the WWE equivalent of Dark Order.

That was so dumb I wonder if it was a parody if not it was so stupid
I couldn’t believe what I was watching when I saw the exit clip in particular with them randomly shuffling around. Even in parody it would be dumb because for parody to be effective it requires the audience to know what is being parodied and most WWE fans don’t watch AEW.

TNA “fired” this guy in a feast or famine match less than two months ago, repeatedly brought him back for tv with several announced appearances even after he was “fired,” and now they just re-signed him.

wtf?

I've never seen him exude an ounce of charisma. He's just another guy. A big guy, but just another one.

Edit: I have seen Oba Femi like three times total, and I'm already much more into him than Priest, who I've seen dozens of times.
Other than the match with Bad Bunny, I couldn't tell you anything good he's been a part of, and most of the credit goes to Bunny I think.

WWE can’t handle even the slightest bit of criticism. How long until WWE gets Andreas Hale fired or reassigned because he doesn’t get on his knees and slobber WWE puts out?

He’s been boring dating back to his ROH days

You knew those grades wouldn't last lol. Let's look at it logically though as one person grading shows can hurt both companies...

Businesswise it's dumb to allow someone from ESPN.com to grade a company's shows that the company he works for is in business with. If he gives out C's, it makes WWE look bad and ESPN look dumb for spending money on something they (or one guy) thinks stinks. Also "spend money on our product, which includes WWE that we think is mediocre according to our site" probably doesn't play well. If he gives A's for 4 or 5 match shows, it makes him look like a sycophant and hardcore fans will accuse him and ESPN of not being truthful to whoever cares about letter grades in pro wrestling. It's a no-win for both companies.

Giving specific shows a letter grade and rating every single match is just kind of a waste of time and pointless.

Are you shittin’ me? Dang that is weak.

That’s like if the Browns were bitching because Mel Kiper panned their draft and tried to get his draft grades removed!

ESPN has been grading and criticizing stuff for entities they broadcast for as long as I can remember. Seemingly WWE is the only one that can't handle it.
