aew scores streaming deal with telavisa's streaming platform ViX. probably speaks pretty well to the cmll partnership with that being cmll's tv partner.

short version of the press release: all archives of Dark and Dark Elevation, Dynamite, Rampage, Collision, and old PPVs are available on demand on the app. all ppvs will be added to On Demand 30 days after airing.

https://www.allelitewrestling.com/post/all-elite-wrestling-and-vix-sign-deal-to-stream-aew-in-latin-america-and-the-caribbean

that article is from a year ago

https://solowrestling.mundodeportivo.com/new/128874-aew-vix-tv-pierde-derechos-por-triller-tv
According to this, ViX will no longer carry AEW in territories outside of Mexico (makes sense, Televisa's home territory is Mexico) and all other territories it used to cover will now have the option again to use fite.tv, the article mentions 5 dollars a month but idk if that's accurate or what they saw the price as when they pulled out of Fite last year, but hey, if someone wants to try and save you could give a shot with an account set in Chile.

Article also mentions there was negative response to the ViX service because they never got the archives nor the delayed papes

Abadon absolutely needs to be the final member of one of the teams and be a surprise entrant

Give her entrance music that rips off the old legion of doom entrance maybe to get a zombie pop

(Or bring back her first theme)

While Grand Princess was the name of the show and the title of Cutest in the World was not officially on the line as far as I'm aware, I will accept Minoru Suzuki as the holder of both titles because he might come for me if I don't.

My wife still gives me a hard time because we went to the 4th episode of Dynamite and I didn't buy a shirt because "this probably won't be around real long, I've seen this before". Boy was I loving dumb.

The last two weeks have been pretty drat special in my career.
Last week in Toronto vs @christian4peeps and this week in London, ON @themattcardona

Matt and share a long history. For years I was frequently told that wrestling fans won't remember. To which I've always vehemently disagreed. Last night proved you don't forget. And you actually enjoy seeing long stories told. Years ago Matt and @myers_wrestling emailed me with an idea. To be my Edgeheads. Nefarious Edge doppelgängers. I was really impressed that they took that chance, and it was also a helluva an idea. We ran with it. And every night from that point forward they were either ringside watching me face Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, Batista, Kane, Rey Mysterio etc etc. or they were wrestling these guys. Absolute legends in our business. They watched, they learned.

Last night that all came full circle when Matt stepped up for The Cope Open. The Rated R Superstar vs The Self Made Superstar. It was surreal. found after that it was also 16 years to the day, that we were all involved in the main event of WrestleMania. Serendipity. also realized about 10 seconds in, that the lessons took. The dude is awesome. An absolute pro. He's surpassed what he ever learned from me. It was a privilege and one more memory created in @aew

Proud of ya kid.

There's a lot that's sticking out to me, but hearing him specifically say that he was told fans wouldn't care about Edge vs. Christian or Edge vs. Hawkins/Ryder is wild. I'm really glad they got to do the match. You can really tell how much it meant to them even as it was going on.

if nothing else getting to see these beloved veterans finish their careers on their own terms and loving it is worth every penny of AEW

Ganso Bomb: Oct 24, 2005; turn it all around

Unless they built it up with video packages about the Edgeheads for a few weeks, I don�t necessarily think WWE fans would have gone bonkers for Copeland/Cardona unless it was at a Mania or something where the nerdiest of fans show up.

AEW fans just seem to be more general fans of wrestling and its history so when a fun little match like this pops up out of nowhere, it�s easy to be excited and happy for it even if you�re not the biggest Cardona fan or anything. It was just a real sweet moment and turned out to be a good match.
