Again, what an absolute shambles.
So something that aired in the US on Wednesday can't make it on-demand in the UK by FRIDAY?
Something we were originally told would be available from 7pm Thursdays, then 10pm Thursdays, then just a vague "later tonight" on Thursdays. And not a single tweet from @itvwrestling since Dec 5th.
No amount of editing requires that sort of delay, and the lack of communication to fans is unacceptable in this day and age.

Just leaves such a bad taste in the mouth. They really are messing up what should be a sure thing for them. The appetite for the product is there, just treat it with a bit of respect!

Yeah finally up as the catch up show after it was broadcast on TV last night rather than the early upload. I was fine with waiting til Thursday night to watch but these kind of delays kinda put me off bothering tbh.

That's not good. This is why I'm watching with fite tv. No edits either.

No idea where this guy gets his information from, so take it with a pinch of salt probably, but yeah... seems believable. If you piss your core audience around don't be surprised if they lose interest and/or find a more reliable way to watch.

The ITV wrestling twitter hasn't even posted since the 5th. Maybe they got sick of people whining it's never up on time. Maybe they deserve to be whined at!

Two months ago I had a day off work and was looking forward to watching AEW on the ITV Hub. I waited all night, constantly refreshing and the show never was uploaded that night. The next day I signed up to Fite TV and have never looked back. So it wouldn't surprise me if others did the same thing and have been driven to Fite because of this.

They've just given up on Thursday uploads haven't they? Terrible. I just decided to flip through the AEW youtube instead of waiting.

What an awful deal. Should have tried with Challenge or Dave.

Think we can take it that until stated otherwise, Dynamite will no longer be going up on Thursdays or until after the Friday night ITV4 airing.

The saddest thing is that by the time it gets to Friday evening and NXT's up on the network, and AEW isn't on ITV Hub, there'll be a sizeable chunk of UK fans who'll just watch NXT, maybe Smackdown later, and be burned out on watching any more wrestling (even moreso if it's a PPV weekend) until the following week.

ITV Box Office is closing down, which likely explains why ITV have pretty much ignored AEW since Christmas. FITE TV are carrying Revolution by themselves, and allowing fans to use their credits to buy it for free if they have enough.

Any chance Sky picks up AEW to fill the void left by WWE?

Any chance Sky picks up AEW to fill the void left by WWE? I mean, stranger things have happened (wrestling’s back on Channel 5 somehow) but I highly doubt it.

A large part of the reason why I'm not keeping up with AEW anymore is the mess ITV are making with it. I'd love to see another channel get it and treat it right.

Haven't watched for the last 3 weeks or so cos it's not been on the Hub and I've forgotten about it. In contrast BT have done an amazing job with WWE so far online. They put shows up with every match/segment as a clickable timestamp. It's awesome.
