Pardon me if counter-programming in wrestling feels like a fruitless and tiring endeavor.
On Sunday, TNA ran Slammiversary starting with a pre-show at 3 p.m. Eastern. NXT’s Great American Bash started at 7 p.m. and AEW Forbidden Door’s main card began at 8 p.m. and ended close to 1 a.m. Monday.
That’s 10 straight hours of pro wrestling if you watched some combination of all of it, costing the viewer up to $90-plus with tax. Add $10 more if you don’t own an HBO Max subscription. Exactly how many people have the time and the money for that — especially during the summer?
So, someone is going to suffer.
