Matt Hardy is a legend of professional wrestling who is currently working in the All Elite Wrestling promotion. The AEW is one of the biggest promotions in the world of professional wrestling industry today and it had been also the biggest rivals of the mighty WWE as well since the very first day of its existence.
AEW has signed some of the biggest names in the wrestling industry like CM Punk and Bryan Danielson and they have produced some big stars too. In spite of being a major promotion, they do not book regular PPV events like WWE that has a regular fixture of PPVs.
Matt Hardy’s Analysis: AEW’s Possible PPV Model Expansion and its Impact on the Wrestling Industry
AEW star Matt Hardy recently revealed the potential expansion of the PPV model of the promotion. Speaking on a recent episode of his Extreme Life podcast, the former WWE United States Champion revealed the following;
It’s intriguing. I think one of the things that makes AEW so solid and so great is that all the matches usually have a good and decent amount of time to tell a backstory, which leads up to that match. There’s history in all the matches, there’s a reason for these guys to be fighting, there’s a reason you want to see this fight, there’s a reason you want a certain guy to win and whatnot. That’s one of the beautiful things about pro wrestling.
AEW Would Organize All In Event Next Month
“Even if you look at WWE back in the day, when they had the big four, when they had Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series, it just felt like those pay-per-views were bigger deals. I think in some ways, that made the pay-per-view feel like a bigger deal, and you buy it like it’s a bigger deal.
“I feel like if you have a pay-per-view every month, you don’t have the time to have a story that builds up and festers for three or four months. You have to get it done within four-five weeks if you’re doing them monthly. So that’s different.
Matt Hardy continued; “With that same thing being said, if you’re having great pay-per-views constantly on a regular basis and you can do it every single month, then that means you’re upping your intake when it comes to dollar value.
“So I could see that happening. Something I’ll throw out is you could maybe keep it fresh, if the rosters are big enough on Dynamite and on Collision, maybe you could have in January is a Dynamite pay-per-view, February is a Collision pay-per-view, March, Dynamite, and you alternate each and every month. Maybe one of those months, you have Dynamite versus Collision and it’s like the World Series pay-per-view of pro wrestling.
AEW’s upcoming pay per view event All In is going to take place next month in the world famous Wembley stadium and the event received excellent ticket sale. But AEW’s PPV model is not as regular as WWE and they do not even have a proper line up for it either. It would be a good boost for the promotion if they book PPVs in a more organized way.
