I'm going into this with an open mind. I'm also comparing it to WWE's shit product lately. I'm not expecting the greatest thing ever from AEW. But i do expect a ground level for which a product can be built on the TNT channel.

RP 05-25-2019 02:40 AM

It's extremely easy to think that AEW simply needs to have something " going on". Truth is, TNA has something going on and it's not good enough. AEW needs a huge showing. This is a big deal. They have to have a big show. I'm expecting a major person showing. Ambrose or Punk will show for sure. They have to make a mark on this show. Otherwise, they are simply TNA.

Emperor Smeat 05-25-2019 02:43 AM

:-\ Baring any sudden changes, looks like I'm going to miss watching this live except maybe for the last hour or main event if I'm lucky.

Droford 05-25-2019 05:16 AM

I downloaded BR on my roku just in case I decide to pay 50 bucks for it. on the fence

Id honestly do it for $40 like all in was on Fite, the extra 10 bucks is weirdly making it a hard decision

Droford 05-25-2019 05:20 AM

I also wonder if the next two shows listed (fyter fest on 6/29 and fight for the fallen on 7/13) will cost $50..

rez 05-25-2019 05:37 AM

I'm a cheap ass but I'll probably buy it. I'll determine it during the pre show if the production seems worth it.

Supreme Olajuwon 05-25-2019 10:09 AM

Is Kip Sabian any good? Got like a Finn Balor Tom Hardy vibe going. Could potentially see myself giving him a hug lying down.

Jordan 05-25-2019 10:12 AM

So ready for all the hype talk to be over and for this promotion to go live! Presser was lame, I'm over this fan fest meet and greet bullshit. Let's go!

Deep down im expecting Moxley or Punk to show.

Damian Rey 2.0 05-25-2019 11:21 AM

I think Moxely is damn near a lock. Splitting the $50 with my buddy. Excited to see who they run out there for the battle royal. And if Page will be in it.

Hows he a lock for tonight? He probably has a no compete clause

Evil Vito 05-25-2019 12:05 PM

I believe the no-compete only applies for releases, not contract expiration.

Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Goldust will soon be a free agent.


Multiple sources tell us Goldust’s WWE contract recently expired and he’s currently waiting for the 90-day no-compete portion of his agreement to run out before becoming a free agent.

As many fans noticed, the wrestler recently removed all mentions of WWE from social media.

It’s unclear when the deal expired exactly, but we’re told he should be free in May.

On the latest “Road to Double or Nothing” video, there was a big tease for Goldust aka Dustin Rhodes as Cody’s opponent at the upcoming AEW event in Las Vegas. Cody is shown talking to his seamstress, who randomly asks if she should stay away from Gold.

So Goldust, a long time veteran had to wait 90 days but Ambrose doesn't?

I dont think Ambrose is going to AEW. I'll be legit shocked. I just dont think the WWE does what they did for Dean " leaving ", knowing there was any chance he would go to AEW ( does that make sense? ).

WWE didnt owe Dean anything. The moment they knew he was really leaving, they could have benched him. Instead they ran him out there in storylines and produced " going away " pieces for WWE network. As petty as Vince is these days, there is no way Vince would sign off on all that bullshit, knowing Dean Ambrose was headed to AEW.

Droford 05-25-2019 01:05 PM

Rumors say he tried to leverage AEW against WWE and it didnt work. WWE could have extended his contract out for the time he was out due to injury but they didn't.

ClockShot 05-25-2019 02:14 PM

Comcast is still showing this as $60 for the PPV. Which I still think is nuts.

Not gonna sign up for anything else just to try to save a few extra bucks.

This will probably be a last minute purchase. But I was really hoping that the price would have gone down a good amount and I would have this pre-ordered.

Droford 05-25-2019 02:18 PM

Its $50 on B/R and through Directv (which I had forgotten about)

erickman 05-25-2019 02:19 PM

so how was starcast 2 was it good

Did Ambrose wrestle at Mania? Legit don't remember and I skipped thru a lot of the show.

He actually requested his release early, his contract didn't expire

Quote:

Dave Meltzer reported in this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Goldust had requested his release on January 19th and was granted it by WWE officials shortly afterwards. Meltzer also reported that Goldust was issued a standard 90-day non-compete clause as part of the terms of his release, which reportedly ended on April 19th.

Within the company, Meltzer reported that Vince McMahon was initially against the idea of granting Goldust’s release but was convinced by Triple H to allow him to leave early. Meltzer also reported that WWE had the option to freeze Goldust’s contract for an additional eight months for missed time due to his recent injury but chose not to exercise it.

Ended up splitting with screech to take advantage of B/R's 2 device rule. Hopefully everything works.

Jordan 05-25-2019 03:51 PM

I won't be paying $50 a month for PPV but maybe a few times a year, btw.

Evil Vito 05-25-2019 04:14 PM

Orange Cassidy just got announced for the battle royal!

I definitely won't change the password if it doesn't work :y:

screech 05-25-2019 04:19 PM

Is the battle royal on BR too or is that somewhere else?

Not sure if it’s on B/R or not, but it’ll definitely be on their YouTube channel

Sepholio 05-25-2019 04:57 PM

I can't spend that on a PPV. Any PPV. That's ridiculous to me.

WWE may be shit but I'm getting all their PPVs for 120 a year. If AEW keeps their pricing I'd surpass that in a couple months if I ordered their shows. I just can't do that for an untested product. You might could convince me to spend 25 on it. MAYBE.

Splaya 05-25-2019 05:00 PM

I am splitting this with a friend and we are giving it a go. I really hope it is successful. I don't want them comparing themselves to Vince and Co on the PPV at all. Just entertain me. It's not that hard.

Corporate CockSnogger 05-25-2019 05:42 PM

Will there be streams going for this? I'm up late tonight anyway so was thinking of having it on in the background, but not paying since I'll only half watch it.

Jordan 05-25-2019 06:27 PM

OKAY ONE THING I GOTTA KNOW.

Is it "Be Elite BE BE Elite" or "THE ELITE THE THE ELITE"

XL 05-25-2019 06:29 PM

Got the pre-show on record as it’s on free TV over here. I’ll catch the PPV on a stream after the event as it’s on at silly o'clock in the morning and I have work tomorrow. If it’s any consolation I spend £5 a month on WWE by sharing the network so it’s not like I’m giving them a lot of £££ either.

slik 05-25-2019 06:40 PM

If anyone finds streams post 'em for the people not ordering

look out 4 ya fellow fans
