5 reasons why AEW has been disappointing and 5 reasons they are still generating excitement

Fans were excited for the advent of All Elite Wrestling, but many have voiced their disappointment with the promotion.

Disappointing #3: All Elite Wrestling is still using an old-fashioned PPV model

All Out is AEW's next upcoming Pay Per view show, but fans must be prepared to pay a steep price to view it.

A few years back, WWE announced the formation of the WWE Network, a streaming service which would showcase the extensive historical library that the company owns as well as one major caveat meant to entice viewers.

All WWE PPVs, including WrestleMania, would be included with the subscription cost.

WWE had seen declining PPV buy rates for years, much like MMA and other wrestling promotions had experienced. They reasoned they could make more money with the subscription model than the traditional PPV model, which relies on cable networks and other services.

But AEW is sticking to the old PPV model, utilized for years by WCW, WWE, and TNA. In order to see the upcoming All Out PPV, fans can expect to shell out $49.99. This is a very steep price, rivaling only WrestleMania on the old model.

AEW has excited fans around the world, but their insistence on relying on the antiquated PPV model has disappointed many fans who were hoping for a more fiscal alternative.
