Im with everyone that 6 PPVs would be much better. However, with the Forbidden Door buyrate, it does not seem likely they’d decrease the price. In the history of wrestling, decreasing the cost of a PPV has never proven to increase buys. In fact, it’s actually the opposite. Strange, because I doubt wrestling fans who aren't working six-figure jobs would be on board with paying $50 so many times a year unless it's shared with friends, perhaps. It’s a weird psychological phenomenon. When companies raise pay-per-view prices, buys go up. It doesn’t seem right but for whatever reason it is. It happened even back when in your house prices were raised. The speculation I have read about it points to lowering cost gives the impression your product isn’t worth paying for.

Best Friends or Dark Order pretty much have to win Sunday.
If they don't, The Trios Titles just come off as an Ego Trip for Kenny and The Bucks

Kenny and the Bucks, two acts who famously had to be convinced by Tony Khan to win more, created these trio tag belts as an ego trip.

If you make a list of the best trios matches in AEW history, how many of those are going to include Kenny and the Bucks? They're the perfect first champs as they're the best trio, IMO.
I don't think there's any need for the trios titles to be held by the champs for a long time though. I'd change the champs up more than with the other belts.

It's two of the most over acts in the company winning a title and setting a high bar if they do in fact win That in mind my pick is still Hangman/Dark Order because I feel like it continues to play into storylines better

We're now up to a 15 match card, there really was no need for this many matches.

ROH PPVs have been three hours and got everything done. AEW should consider that instead of lasting till after midnight since school is back and all

Even though I have Monday off work, there's no way I'm watching this show live. I can cope with shows that are around three hours, so they finish around 4am my time, but when we start creeping nearer to four hours and 5am it's just too much.

I think that the shows are a little too long (too many people both live and at home are burnt by the main event) but that doesn't make sense as a reason

They truly don’t need this many matches. WWE is proving with the Clash right now that they’re doing more with less in terms of how many matches they have had. Some of these PPV matches could have been done on some special Dynamite episode.

Said this about Double or Nothing, but I really don't mind the long shows; I'm used to NJPW having a few cards a year (Wrestle Kingdom, Dominion, etc.) that go very long, so if the show has tons of matches and little filler (e.g. minimal skits, ads, or whatever else) I'm pretty happy to sit through something lengthy, especially when I'm paying for it.
That being said...ok, it can be tough to do a super long card when you go to watch the show in a darkened movie theater and you realize the clock is getting closer to midnight. I'm an ancient Millenial now and I wake up for work at 6am on Sunday mornings, so it turns into a long day.
But hey! Labor Day on Monday, so no harm, no foul this time around.
