Latest on TrillerTV as it relates to not just #AEW but a large portion of wresting. Hopefully someone buys it but any suitor will be seeing HBO Max coming to the UK and that being a likely end to AEW Plus resulting in a good chunk of money lost. Cont. - ThreadSky

I’m bummed to see this. Triller ran so much smoother than BR did. I’m not happy about having to buy the PPV on Amazon. I hope that this gives TK the push to get PPVs on MAX ASAP. I feel bad for the Indie companies that rely heavily on Triller.

I bet, one of the wrestlers buys it. Because a lot of them book their own Indy stuff on the side.

That's a good shout. I personally wouldn't be against a Wrestler owned PPV distrubtion type system (provided it works) you hopefulyl then don't get a company trying to branch out and it hurting everything like what has happened with Triller

Exactly

It really sucks because it’s a great service. I have all my AEW PPVS there. This will affect all the other independent promotions that are there too.

thebenhopkinsbrand.bsky.social•10 days ago

Yeah it’s pretty bad. I’ve bought all AEW PPVs since the original Full Gear after ITV Box Office fell apart. It will hurt Indys a lot more I imagine they don’t have the financial backing bigger companies do. Hopefully some resolution can be found

I even bought a GCW PPV once to give them a chance. But that will never happen again.

I do miss when I got Fite credits for AEW plus I’d use them do get other shows for free. I mean that might be a precursor to them having issues but I remember getting a few TNA PPVs like that

Much as it pains me to say, If TKO are smart they are looking at it. They can merge it with UFC Fight Pass and at the same time, screw over AEW by kicking them off of their international streaming service.

really hope that does not happen. But if I am TKO right now I am for sure looking at it.

thebenhopkinsbrand.bsky.social•10 days ago

I don't really see what TKO gains from the service just in terms of content for themselves to market. I get fucking over AEW but I don't realy see them having a vested interest in Dutch or Portugese football.

dimspace.xyz•10 days ago

plenty of wrestling on there that TKO would like to have some influence over

And merged with fight pass puts more content on there

thebenhopkinsbrand.bsky.social•10 days ago

You’d hope all the Indy companies (as well as the fact they have the Portuguese and Dutch football leagues) are able to find a home should the worst happen. It’s an easy place to find wrestling shows so you hope they either survive or if the worst happens something similar replaces them

This doesn't sound good

Good all my indies /AEW on there

I think TK knew something

Ahead of the game there

Too many indie promotions doing ,so many separate streaming sites.

I would love for then to come together

For Joshi/indies/majors

All in one place

Like what the streaming sites
