Even though there has been absolutely nothing to suggest this I get the sneaky suspicion they may build to a Darby Allin vs Joey Janela match Throw in Jimmy Havoc and you have yourself a war. Definitely gotta have something done with them boys. MJF, Janela, Darby, and Havoc are all unaccounted for on the card so far

Now confirmed for the show: Page vs Jericho- Winner gets AEW Championship Lucha Bros vs Young Bucks- Ladder Match (Presumably for the AAA Tag Titles) Moxley vs Omega The AEW Tag Title Tournament (Featuring Dark Order vs Best Friends) Aja Kong vs Awesome Kong That is a NICE card already, god damn... Cody vs Spears will probably be made official eventually too. Best Friends/Dark Order is technically a match for a first round bye

Here’s how much All Out will cost folks watching on B/R Live: Yup, AEW is sticking with this price for some reason.

I'm gonna bite, it's a bit more justifiable now, they've had some great shows so they can at least back up the price a bit more. That card is also stacked to the nines and it isn't even done taking shape yet. This is also coming off two great shows they basically gave away for free which is also nice. Idk their buy rate for Double or Nothing was really good, and that was with almost nothing to look at, so I guess they wanna see if they can keep the momentum going

Yeah, they have no reason to deviate from the $50 price point right now, especially now that they've given the non-paying US audience a taste of the product in the last few weeks.
And if you think that price is ridiculous, check StubHub for the ticket prices right now. That secondary market probably isn't dropping much.

I wonder if they will stick with it when the show's began proper, with TV and a champ and all. I know they've said that they have no intention of monthly PPVs, so that does make it less obnoxious.

They don't need monthly PPVs, just save the big shows for a few months each, build them, make them feel important, the TV Deal when it kicks in will build things so much more proper on a weekly basis, especially if it's two hours.

Kahn in the post-show media conference seemed to suggest they may do monthly PPVs. Technically he said they have a number but they don't want it to be too high to oversaturate the monthly so I honestly got the impression it wasn't going to be monthly but way more around the lines of 6-9. Which honestly seems a bit too high for my liking but the logic is there if they do it like it is now with Free/$9.99 shows and the big $40 ones every so often.

Cody vs Spears will probably be made official eventually too. The ladder match and Moxley-Omega look great, but everything else is meh so far. Page in the inaugural title match just doesn’t feel right to me, he should be built up to that level over time. The Kongs match would’ve been great 10 years ago but now not so much. And the Dark Order and Spears will have trouble ever getting my interest.

Yeah, I’d do something similar. Quarterly $50 major events, and B/R specials on the 8 months without PPV’s. Even if the monthly ones were mostly behind the $10 paywall, I’d be okay with it. But I’d still offer a couple freebies throughout the year, Clash of the Champions style.

Yeah, I gotta say, the $50 price tag is easier to swallow conisdering they gave away their last couple shows for free. Can't say I can justify spending 50 bucks on a single show in today's wrestling climate but let's see if works them, cotton.

Oh yeah, like if stuff goes well with TNT and they can have some kind of big show on Tuesdays to coincide with an NBA All Star game or something like that, I’d be down to watch that.

Hoping they kind of stick to what they've been doing lately. I mean, I'm not saying give away every show for free or anything but if they do, say, 2 shows in a row around 10-20$ each, I think that'd be easier to swallow. Do a couple cheap ones and do a 50 price tag for the bigger shows like All Out and Double or Nothing.

The Khan's did not get rich by giving their product away for less than people were willing to pay for it.
I think it's unthinkable that they won't be doing monthly PPV's within 18 months, even if the price comes down.

I think it's unthinkable that they won't be doing monthly PPV's within 18 months, even if the price comes down. Sure but I also think they have awareness to know that the reason the WWE’s product is where it is was because there’s so much of it and the audience can’t keep up as much as it would and it’d be better to make people anticipate it differently then they would anything else. Like, I’m probably really wrong and you’ll be utterly correct but I get a different impression and if it goes that way, I’ll buy you an internet pint or something.

Which honestly seems a bit too high for my liking but the logic is there if they do it like it is now with Free/$9.99 shows and the big $40 ones every so often. Here’s his quote that I saw: “There will be pay-per-views. We will be doing roughly — it’s not exactly spaced out a month apart. But effectively, it was a pay-per-view in May, Double or Nothing, and then there were pay-per-view level shows in June and July with Fyter Fest and Fight for the Fallen. And now a big, huge PPV coming up as you referenced, All Out, August 31. And that’s roughly one for each month, and that’s a good rhythm. I think we have shows like Double or Nothing and All Out that are at the very highest level. And you’ll see with All Out, Double or Nothing set the bar really high. … And I think it was a very critically successful pay-per-view that was also a commercially successful pay-per-view.”
